I'm delighted to announce that I've partnered with @micro_prose in a publishing deal for my combat helicopter game!

It will be released as Gunship Origins; the first Gunship title published by MicroProse in over 25 years.

As a huge fan of MicroProse games in the 90s, this couldn't be a better fit. I'm absolutely pumped about it.

Scale might be slightly off on these rocks

Wired up the new Apache cockpit illumination, and a couple of the gauges / switches.

It really changes the feel of flying at night!

In NBA 2k, they have options for this stuff when you start a My Franchise etc. Maybe I'll do something similar -- "Campaign Settings" include "Pilot Fatigue" etc.

I usually push back against options, because it can make it extremely hard to balance the game when people can just select any old thing. But this feels reasonable.

If you could make sure that I *for sure* added *one* feature to Gunship Origins before public release, what would it be?

[Jammin Games - Gunship Origins @jammingames]

@FimbulvinterNow I'm experimenting with you having the ability to play custom MP3s if you put them in a specific folder.

@No_Tread_ Probably won’t have PVP, but you never know.

Every PVE game that goes PVP seems to lose its original vision.

This game is gonna be such a banger

[Jammin Games - Gunship Origins @jammingames]

@JCAFC1 Cool idea!

[Jammin Games - Gunship Origins @jammingames]

@colin_k That’s sick!

[Jammin Games - Gunship Origins @jammingames]

@oldyzach I appreciate you!!

[Jammin Games - Gunship Origins @jammingames]

@oldyzach Yes!!

[Jammin Games - Gunship Origins @jammingames]

To be honest, I don't really know how to set people's expectations accurately. Some people seem to want AAA graphics quality from a tiny indie studio, and they let us know that in every YouTube video comment they make. 😅

I think we'll punch above our weight, don't get me wrong. I brought on my brother just to improve visuals and that's what he's focused on.

But I'm also much more interested in investing in compelling gameplay that stands the test of time, rather than just pretty graphics.

And we only have the time we have. If this game is to ever come out, we'll have to make some tradeoffs somewhere.

That's enough of that. Back to work!

@PSN_Hymanator You might have missed the “one feature” part of my tweet 😂

[Jammin Games - Gunship Origins @jammingames]

@oldyzach Touché !

[Jammin Games - Gunship Origins @jammingames]

@MichaelPatti15 @oldyzach It’s a Jammin Games product, and you haven’t seen what I can do yet ;-)

[Jammin Games - Gunship Origins @jammingames]

@Cal_Irvine That I can deliver

[Jammin Games - Gunship Origins @jammingames]

@TheCyberML I never did get one! Three DSC’s I think?

[Jammin Games - Gunship Origins @jammingames]

@GrahamSimmons Oh yeah!

[Jammin Games - Gunship Origins @jammingames]

@GrahamSimmons Yeah totally

[Jammin Games - Gunship Origins @jammingames]

@PedanticPolice I want this so bad.

[Jammin Games - Gunship Origins @jammingames]

@givingtnt I have rough support already!

[Jammin Games - Gunship Origins @jammingames]

@59rar I want this too
