Frankly, I can’t say anything about the development of this game without giving huge clues as to what it is, so I’ll just present the screenshot.
Name and developer, please! If you win, I’ll FTOL your TAC and SCAN your STS for you.
Retro-styled games for the modern era.
I’m fairy certain that its one of the Wing Commanders, by Origin (when they did infact still Create Worlds) – either I or II at any rate.
But I can’t say for certain if its or not.
Nope, sorry. It’s not any of the Wing Commander games.
Battlecruiser 3000AD by 3000AD, Inc.
I think I remember hearing that the latest iteration was horribly buggy, which is unfortunate because it otherwise sounded great. I never played them before.
You are correct, GB! It’s kind of a shame when the story of the development of a game is far more epic and entertaining than the game itself.
At least I can console myself with knowing that Planitia is already a better game than Battlecruiser 3000 AD. And Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing.
Ah, that history was a fun read. Glad I wasn’t there =)
Interesting. Big Rigs seems merely unfinished. Like they got the rendering working and ground collision, but didn’t get around to working out object collisions.
Correct! And then they shipped it.
