Odd, playback is borked.
Oh, I think I see why? The code between the {youtube} commands doesn't include an actual youtube web address. I'll see if I can fix it.
Well...JP did make the video watchable but it shows almost nothing but a tiny boat sailing an ocean with occasional stops where a tiny man runs around on land. Not sure what to make of it.
Heh was just thinking he same exact thing - it is labeled a 'tech demo' though.

@JP thanks for fixing the YT link
@Rayfer, the vid is the first tech demo. I think the game is way off, but its a more modern realisation of a game he made a while back, but with some better art/code behind it.
Here is the original game:

QuoteWhat is Expedition?
Expedition is a game about the human sense of wonder and discovery; it lets you take a group of men and journey into the unknown, playing inside a detailed sandbox of the XV century where you will be able to roam the world, discover, colonize and trade. The game doesn't reward you with a new discovery on every step, it instead requires from you methodical mapping and cartographic exercise to find these hidden wonders..
The setting of the The New World scenrio:
QuoteIn "The New World", the first scenario available for Expedition, you become a XVth century Spanish explorer; you have to stock up an expedition to the New World, travel there, and then found colonies in the name of the crown. In your quest you will find marvelous places and face friendly and hostile natives throughout the New World seeking to obtain their riches for your kingdom.
You have to read through the dev logs to get any meaningful feel for where it will be at later on.
