JB worked hard on implementing Japanese tactical squadron markings (trials taking place with the Zeroes as we speak), Julien reworked the Yorktown mural according to the latest dives on her wreck, and new see-through materials on the ship skins! #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #digitalart

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

It's a long weekend in France this week, taking some time off. Until we meet again, a few new screenshots from the Task Force Admiral Beta by our backers Hood Nafeij & Robz. Now TBDs strike home a bit better, and joystick are now supported in dogfight mode! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev

Today America honors the memory of those who gave their lives in service to their country & our collective freedom. Their sacrifice is not forgotten, even from the far side of the world. Wishing all our American players a day of comfort & peace.🙏 #MemorialDay 🇺🇸 #MemorialDay2025

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

Allow us to introduce our roadmap on our way to the next stage of the beta! The moment we get to Point Luck, everybody will get a new demo - but you can still play the old one until next week. Also, here are a few pics of Akagi getting the usual treatment! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

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

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

Polishing past endeavors, preparing for the future today in #screenshotsaturday! Aircraft of all sorts will fill the virtual Pacific skies of Task Force Admiral, with quite a few classics you can certainly identify at a glance! #gamedev #indiedev

Forgive me, Father Microprose, for I have erred and I have sinned invoking the holy ghosts of Christmas past...🙏 Kickstarting video game boxes in 2024: clickbaiting stretch goals dropping names like if it was 1994🤟 #RETROGAMING #indiegame #gamedev

Tim Stone over at tallyhocorner.com is right. This is golden stuff to listen to indeed! GHPC team exchanging views on the job with Ssnake from ESims, makers of Steel Beasts. Lot of heroes in the same room in this one. #gamedev #indiedev #interview youtu.be/vX0Ese9RT78?...

How it started / How it's going - 4 years of solo game dev. #indiegame #retrogaming #solodev #flightsim #solodev

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

Okay this looks... bad but it's actually a sign of real progress! I successfully made contact with and engaged the enemy!

We're back! New #devupdate, with a few nuggets of TFA news a few hours away from the great Sea Power adventure 🥰 Wanna be a good chap?

We are so back: aftermath.site/harpoon-97-m...

"The point here is that Microprose is about to release something that people under the age of 25 wouldn't even think qualifies as a video game, where modern ideas like "art style" and "user experience" are nowhere to be found, and loads of people will enjoy it regardless. I think that fucking rules"

Anyone remember the old Jane's flight sim series from Electronic Arts/Origin Systems? A friend sent this stuffed-to-gills boxed copy of Longbow 2 over to us to go alongside our collection of MicroProse flight sims. Didn't have 2 back then but I did have Longbow Gold and Fighters Anthology.

Here's a new trailer of the promising naval strategy simulation game Task Force Admiral showing torpedo bombers in action. 👀

Une mer turquoise, la brise du large qui caresse votre barbe de loup de mer, des kamikazes japonais qui éventrent vos porte-avions : voilà ce que nous promet Task Force Admiral. www.canardpc.com/jeu-video/a-...

The WWII naval strategy simulation game Task Force Admiral – Vol.1: American Carrier Battles is getting a Kickstarter campaign and a demo in Q1 2025. 👀🎮 simulationdaily.com/news/task-fo...
