SunBurn continued, including screenshots and a re-enactment movie of the Boston Tea Party!

... continued from this .plan

In my last .plan I mentioned SunBurn, the Civ game Nauris and I are working on. As Nauris is still offline due to the untimely demise of his computer, I figured I'd prototype as much as possible for GID16.

I actually achieved my goal of getting it to a playable stage, which makes me happy. Not only that, but a large proportion of the core infrastructure that needed to be in place is now there.

I'm pretty happy with how it's turning out. Here's some screenshots:

And here's my re-enactment of the Boston Tea Party:

I like how you have the American ships winning over the British in most of the pics. Very realistic. :p

Tom Bampton (Nov 01, 2005 at 03:30 GMT)

Yes, that simulates the annoying way in which they sunk all our tea. If you watch the movie, we actually win ;-)

Yeeeus!!!! Show those brits what we're made of, Yeah!!!!! That's what I like to call an opened can of Americano!!... wait... we had ships??

Eric, I dont actually know ;-) Ships were the only units i had to hand for placeholder and the brit vs america thing kinda reminded me about the boston tea party.

Bring me the mustache starch, Jeeves. (*cue monacle dropping in glass of sherry*)

Having our 'merkin buddies as pirates, isnt a political statement now is it? :-)

Actually, I don't think the US had a navy during the revolution...the French helped teh Americans for the most part...and then we backstabbed >_>

brings back memories of starcraft...

Tom Bampton (Nov 01, 2005 at 21:11 GMT)

Ah well, who said games had to be accurate ? ;-)

Look, Goerge W. Bush is a pirate....my god, am I surprised. *sarcasm*

As far as screenshots go, these are quite nice, but they would be a lot better with sea serpents or mermaids.
