Will I be able to sleep at night after playing this game? And does the price of the game include prescription coverage for Valium?

Well, there's always the booze. If your flag officer cabin doesn't have one readily available, you can still get a small bottle from the Doc. Best universal remedy there is  :tongue:

Small question today gents.

So, the Binocs thing, more of a hinder during gameplay or an immersion factor? Note that even if we have it on, it is set to disappear along with the rest of the interface when you hide them (tab is the currently assigned key)

Also, had some more carnage earlier this week. Cheers!

Having some free time today gents? I'll find a way to make your weekend even less productive than it is already.

It's live! Our dev update for Task Force Admiral  is now (belatedly) online on Steam. This one took its sweet time, but it was worth the wait. 2023 begins with a few hot videos. Thank you for your shares & your likes, it would mean a lot! ❤️

Cheers & have a great Sunday all of you!

Hello there Grognards ~
A small mid-month update. Hope you'll enjoy the contents ^^

Cheers

Hello there gentlemen,

Some new content, nothing too drastic. An update about our damage model

And last but not least, a big mamma delivered in a MP4 file for you to make a nice animated wallpaper for your Windows desktop

Here's the link to the video file proper

As for how to find a proper, clean, free & no nonsense open source animated wallpaper & screensaver software and use it with it, there you go:

- Download the latest release of the free, open-source software Lively Wallpaper (available from the Windows store or GitHub, no difference, except the GitHub version is usually newer it seems)
http://www.rocksdanister.com/lively/
- Install it
- Grab & drop the Yamato video in there
- Customize (multiscreen, sound/muted, re-sizing, etc...)
- And there you go, enjoy!

If it kinda proves popular, we will probably provide more of these in the future, they will happily complement our static wallpapers after all.

There there. Enjoy your Sunday, all of you ^^

We're getting all geared up for our usual monthly update early next week - until then, a few other goodies - or more like, teasers of things to come. Enjoy & have a great Sunday, all of you! ^^

This is coming along very nicely. Very attractive presentation. :ThumbsUp:

I love this idea of filters, I've often wished to be able to play flight sims in sepia or black & white.

Any chance this releases in 2023? Asking for a friend.

I am a might concerned the fonts might be a bit blury, but that's probably just the image compression.
Really looking forward to seeing how the gameplay makes carrier ops interesting for a player over the long hours this game would play out for. Would be cool if you played Battleship so to speak against a friend with time compression in less than two hours.  I might have to read silver waterfall which I have owned for a while when this release comes near.

Hasbro released a very interesting version of Battleship long ago, back in the days of FMV, which took the basic gameplay and stretched it as far as feasibly possible -- it used modern ops, not WW2 (although it was still set in the Pacific), but looked amazing (for the time) and played surprisingly well. You set up task forces (which could be as small as one sub on the standard BShip 'grid') and went out on a strategic map to area-control and hunt the enemy; once combat started, the usual BShip rules applied, with some stretching for platform types (if I recall correctly), and FMV/CGI showing the action of maneuver, fire, damage, loss. Too bad Hasbro won't let GoG rejig it for modern systems! -- I still have my discs but I wonder if they'll even work nowadays...
