Status: Scrapped


Prototype of a capitol ship simulator/wargame featuring World War II battleships under player control.


The game was fully playable with autonomous steering behaviour controlling the helm of the enemy ships. It had dynamic generated waves, different classes of ships (battleship, destroyer, cargo ship, gunship, aircraft carrier and submarine)


During prototype development it became clear that while the game ran nicely, it just was not fun to control a 300 meter ship. Controls were neither realistic or convincing.
