[VIDEO] SOW update 2010-02-12
#1

"DISCLAIMER: THIS IS SO WORK IN PROGRESS IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY

For today's update, we have a little TV spot about Battle of Britain from a TV show about video game peripherals that run on the Russia Today channel last week.

They were mostly interested in the TrackIR, so we gave them a little demo of our 6DOF implementation.

The TV crew caught us at just about the worst time imaginable. We were making big changes to our terrain engine. The crew came on very short notice. The day they told us they were coming, we started replacing terrain placeholders with final features. It was a tedious procedure that took several days.

We couldn't hold back development for Russia Today, and we couldn't reschedule their visit. So, on the day of the shooting, long story short, we only had half the game in working condition to show them. The other half... Well, see for yourself.

Nevertheless, we hope you will find this clip interesting. If anything, it'll give you a taste of what our development environment is really like, and all the iterations our games go through before they're good and ready.

Now, where's my asbestos suit?"

Nice, but I still expect more from these updates. I want to see an extended scene of the technology, not short clips. But I can't complain, the best thing is that we are getting these updates; I'm just being too picky Big Grin

I agree nothing makes your heart beat as mush as a deadline with a demo all with WIP software.


Thank you very much on the update.

All the best to the crew and 1c.

im guessing not much more than what people are already running IL2 on. SOW is a completely new engine...should be a lot more efficient than IL2 while yielding a lot better graphics.

Well its more efficient but it still uses quite a bit more power then IL2.

For instance if you can barely run IL2 on perfect settings you might be able to play SOW only lower settings.

They wouldn't make an engine that uses similar power to IL2 because it was made for way older PCs, this is a major installment to the series after all.

Ditto. I normally like watching development videos but they don't really say anything in this video.
