Testing new damage models in Task Force Admiral, courtesy of the work of Reis our collaborator. Ships are now sinking in a more believable fashion as water is now spreading along new rules. Fire is next, then we'll start integrating new ships at a quicker pace! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev

Task Force Admiral beta still firmly in development, with Midway getting populated, Hornet & others being properly remade, along with much anticipated functions - such as a brand new input menu which will let you re-bind your keys like proper sims do! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev

Now aircraft have different engine startup times so as to make it look a bit more natural. Sometimes it doesn't take much to give you a good feel. Get your earphones & enjoy the scene. Next stop: adding the small guys! Big thanks to Hood for the video! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

Work goes forward on a number of fronts. Akagi is nearing completion, Midway is getting its vegetation & our helpers are using SoDak as a test bed for tweaking our damage model. A bit of a slow week perhaps, but we had holidays in France ^^ #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

The rebuilding of Midway Is. goes on for #screenshotsaturday in Task Force Admiral. Textures & 3D coexist to provide the place with a feel that has been immortalized by John Ford's team in his Midway reels. Proper airbases ops & ground attack logic will follow. #gamedev #indiedev

New map overlays, surface combat functions & map tools are waiting for you in the upcoming demo! Well, validation is taking its sweet time, but at least it will be a clean demo with a lot of dead bugs squashed along the way. Cheers & hopefully see you soon #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev

Well. It doesn't look half-bad. You can come up with cool things with a few good #3dmodels & a kind guy with a printer giving you a hand! Should think about making it a #Kickstarter item. No proper fan would hate having a blue print of the pre-war US flattops, right? 🥰 #gamedev

#screenshotsaturday is all about Carrier Division 5's fliers today! They will make you sweat when the time for the demo comes, that's a given. They might not be the elite of KB, but don't let them come too close from your carriers, or you'll get to regret it sooner than later...! #gamedev #indiedev

A #Kickstarter wouldn't be the real deal without stretch goals. What do you think of animated crew? Well, that's one among a few others!🧐 Give us your opinion in our online survey (link above), and we'll know how interested you are by all these extra features! #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev #indiedev

Randomize your encounters with a few options, as a good basis for further development down the line & a few extra hours of gameplay. Friendly opposition, enemy opposition, skill levels, weather... Soon, mission types, maps, etc... the potential is just huge! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev

Still working on the demo-related features ahead of the Q1 2025 Kickstarter: - The (barebone) object viewer architecture - A working (basic) battle generator that should provide you with a few extra hours of gameplay. - Our manuals now have a cover! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame

Trying out a fighter module ahead of the Kickstarter for #screenshotsaturday. It's all very much work in progress, but it's going well, with workable mouse flight controls, view systems, labels, etc... Let's see how far we'll go with that, Battlestations/Pacific Air War style! #gamedev #indiedev

That man speaks the truth. Nothing better than a big, fat, heavy box for your game, full of treasures and lore around your favorite topic - that's how I grew up, that's how I intend to grow old by making one for Task Force Admiral & honor the legacy.🫡 Stay put!😘 #gamedev #indiedev #retrogaming
