The Dreadnought Project

[bennymaeker]

Because the last question for that (I found) is more than 10 years old, I ask again. Is there an Download for an working Demo, or full version? On 20th September 2016 you wrote, that the Simulation is demonstrable. But where is the demonstrable version? Its an very interresting project.

Hi, Benny. There is no working download for it. The present version of it, which I've not been working on very recently, it sort of far-reaching in its aim, and requires several computers to run it (a server and a client). It only supported networked play featuring destroyers whose decks can be walked by multiple sailors, and other features I considered essential to gameplay. It had none of the torpedoes and guns of the earlier, singleplayer versions.

Feel free to email me if you felt you were able to assist me in bringing even a modest proof of concept to the public (experienced gamecoding support and artists are the top priority), which might help drive a push to a crowd-funded simulation.

IN continue to work on this, Benny. If you'd like to help test or demonstrate what I am working on, please contact me. My demo code can run on Windows or Mac. It is far from a game... your help would very much be HELP, and less fun, but you might help me get excited about it.

This shows what I have in January, 2019
