Nuova DLC per Achtung Panzer: Operation Hooper

Come già annunciato in precedenza il mondo di Achtung Panzer (ormai GTOS, Graviteam Tactics: Operation Star) sta evolvendo verso un engine a tutto tondo di simulazione tattico-operazionale. Dopo una piccola DLC di reskin per l'HD (http://www.gamersgate.com/DLC-APOSGTHRTP1/graviteam-tactics-operation-star-dlc-high-resolution-textures-pack-1) è stata annunciata una DLC che cambia completamente lo scenario: Operation Hooper è uno scenario ambientato nell'Angola del 1988, dove Cubani e Angolani si scontrano con l'UNITA appoggiato dai Sud Africani. L'ambientazione quindi è simile a quella di uno degli scenari di Blaze of War, ma stavolta si tratta non di una simulazione ma di un tattico.

The DLC will be devoted to an attack on the Cuito Cuanvale base in 20th of February 1988.
DLC adds to the game:
1) Two new combatants for operations and quick battle are Angolan army and SADF.
2) The new area 120 square kilometers wide.
3) 3 operations for Angola, UNITA and SADF.
4) Weapons and equipment that was used in the conflict.

Nel frattempo i lavori sulla patch di Marzo procedono, mentre è stata annunciata una politica di DLC maggiori e minori per l'engine di APOS.

Ecco alcune immagini di Operation Hooper.

Test del mod Napoleonico per Scourge of War

La versione gold del mod Napoleonico è uscita ieri e giustamente l'abbiamo battezzata con un test in multi. L'impressione è senz'altro positiva, non è perfetta ma appare molto godibile, la cavalleria carica, i quadrati resistono, i movimenti dell'AI sono buoni. Certo c'è la tendenza a combattere principalmente in linea del gioco originale e forzare l'attacco in colonna è macchinoso, ma ho suggerito una modifica a Gunship per vedere se realizzabile.

Flashpoint Germany 2: Red Storm alcune news

News di Marzo riguardo Flashpoint Germany 2: Red Storm:

1. In the past two weeks we team has shifted the name of the game from Flashpoint Germany 2: Red Storm or FPG2:RS to the more proper name of Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm or FPC:RS. We did this to better reflect the modular nature and expandability of the core game engine. Red Storm covers the 80's in Central Europe and has the same nations as the original FPG. We do plan on expanding both this starting module with more nations, scenarios, etc, but we are also looking at new content modules as well. Assuming the game sells and folks want more stuff.

2. Work on getting the PBEM++ up and running is going slower than we would like, but it is getting close to testing.

3. We are still killing smaller and smaller bugs. Fixing data errors and glitches. Moving files and folders into final structures for future use. A bigger job then it sounds by the way, but it does help show any bad pathing assignments in the code.

4. We implemented a new and better system for determining the number of orders a side gets if you play with limited staff orders on. Instead of being a fixed value in the data files it is now dynamically calculated based on what is in the scenarios and the modifiers for EW impact and unit losses have moved to the data section.

5. We are close to getting both box art and a documentation guy from Matrix. Once they are free from finishing the project they are on we will slide into their queue. Hopefully that will also be at the same time we get an official announcement and dedicated forum section. Then we will really talk up what is going on.

6. Steve is working on scenarios. We have a bunch of them.

7. Rob and I are bug huinting and working on getting the last of the required game engine bits up and running correctly. This includes AI tweaking and responding to our Beta testers.

Questi giochi ti fanno respirare ancora l'aria di quando erano le idee e non la grafica ad essere alla base dei giochi strategici.
