I've been eyeballing Victory At Sea Pacific for some time, hoping to see more positive reviews.  WotS may sink any chance of me grabbing VaSP outside of a major sale now.

This could be good, but was hoping for playable surface ships in cold waters before it got dropped into abandonware.  It was nice having a dangerous waters lite to mess around with.

I don't see how it was abandoned. They finished the game, did everything they said they were going to do, and gave us an entire new theater for free on top of that.

I got the impression somehow that they're still planning on playable surface ships. Just in a future separate release (sort of like Dangerous Waters itself, since the comparison has been made. ;) That started out as a sub simulator -- through two iterations of that first? Can't recall if 688 Hunter had two distinct sub games before DW...)

Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.

Nah Cold Waters is done. The team split.
One man stayed behind at Killerfish, making War on the Sea, this will be pure PTO with a mix of GNB2 & TF1942 influences. The others founded Triassic Games to make Sea Power, it will be a mix of Fleet Command & Cold Waters. Let's say you now have the "classics" and the "moderns".

And Sonalysts did indeed make Sub Command after 688i H/K & before DW - but also Fleet Command ;)

Okay, Sea Power is what I was thinking of as the "Dangerous Waters"-ish successor to Cold Waters.

Well, in that case it seems it will be an even better with both a modern and WWII project running.  Hope both are completed, it will be nice to have options for naval warfare.

Speaking of, how is that coming along? Haven't seen any updates in awhile.

Doing fine! Our teams are pretty close and we often chat with each other. I get to see special stuff  :coolsmiley:
(no worry, nothing NSFW though)
They're working a lot but they don't enjoy our luxury of having a very efficient tech team on one side, and a producer with no actual talent on the other, hence with much time on his hands to post around the clock. :))

They will certainly hype it up a bit more during the upcoming weeks. If you like modern stuff, people you're gonna be blessed!

Jeez, I wondered what threw that virusy-looking re-title up! Apparently the ad/mods have caught him/it already and zorched.

Now to get the title back to normal.  O0

This is good news, but much more interested in Sea Power.
