Introducing TASK FORCE ADMIRAL Vol.1: American Carrier Battles

Thanks guys!
A little harmless video released yesterday about the matter of camera PoVs. Will refilm it with a ship that has a final skin (that's the original 3D mesh, so it's a little bit bare & clean)

Had some nice feedback about it, so let's have a go in here too! ^^

Looks fantastic ..... as always!   :bd:

I seldom buy games on day 1, but this game is going to tempt that.

[Groggy]

Loving these bite sized updates. Easily a day 1 purchase.

Looks good. Like a movie. Which is good. Really looking forward to gameplay that explains the practical role of the player and what the players duties will be, especially during tactical battles. Will we assume the role of the squadron leaders in the air or be limited to watching the movie play out? o7

Just added another small featurette today. Just uploading them as they come. Hope it's showing some progress

This time (unlike the last battle scene) these are all in-game sounds.

We'll have a battle from the beginning to the end soon enough :) but it is mostly a wargame, so I am afraid it is also mostly about your giving orders & the movie playing out based on your script.
At the end of the development cycle though, as you can see, there's much potential left to allow you at a 20mm station or even in the sky in a Wildcat, but we'll probably get to that before we actually let you give orders to your squadron, to be honest ~
There's still WotS for those who want to play it that way - we'll focus on the layer above, and soon enough on the layer below too so that everybody will have a reason not to feel bored!

Well done. The sound is superb. The only thing missing are planes.

Happy to know that you fancy it  ^-^

Next item - implementation of our water effect with a kinda cool angle. Will do a longer video on Saturday 



Here's the video version with sound.

Damn, that was so close, I had to get a towel to dry-off with!

[The_Admiral]

And in time for your Sunday coffee, the latest entry, which aims at the player wetting his pants, just not Gus-style of moistening though I am afraid...!

[Gusington]

Unfortunate.

[Sir Slash]

Way ahead of you Admiral. My pants are always wet these days. Still, great looking scene. 

[The_Admiral]

Improved, now with the right amount of whiiiiiiiz

Also, tweaking the in-game Fovy (Field of view y-axis)  & well, it sure delivers. Put simply, play around that setting and every shot becomes a keeper. What a few degrees of different bring to the sexiness of it all is outrageous.
Like everything else, camera-wise, it is entirely toggable on the fly using / and * on your numpad so that you can take your shot in-game (and in the replay mode, when there will be a replay mode).

I thought some of you might appreciate the... Mojo value of these shots. You tell me. Don't know if it will play well, but AARs sure will look cool!

The Val is one of my all-time favorite planes...loved flying it way back in Battlehawks 1942 on my Amiga circa 1989

Yowza!
