Messing around with GIMP 3 with screenshots taken in @taskforceadmiral.bsky.social TFA. Trying to capture the 'pencil style' artwork of someone sketching on a paper pad.

More Task Force Admiral testing, and Shokaku receives some real nasty punishment. Total of roughly 12 1000lb bombs and 2 torpedoes over about 1 hour.

Total strike AC total - 42 Dauntless & 30 Devastators

I kind of went nuts in @taskforceadmiral.bsky.social testing the 'launch limit' of carriers.

USS Lexington, 50 plane strike (4 F4F's, 31 SBDs, 15 TBDs)

"Yes 007, they were in and out inside of 7 minutes"

"Interesting, I would have done it in 4 minutes"

"007!" tired sigh "Officially, several gems and jewels were stolen"

"And Unofficially?"

Pushes a tablet over the table

A robbery? At the Louvre?

Day three, which I have coined.

"Disappointment on Southern Winds"

Such potential & promise. But Shokaku ends up vanishing like a ghost.

Spent the weekend playing @taskforceadmiral.bsky.social TFA.
Still need to complete the run this coming weekend.

But, mistakes, air-ops muddles, and a crane that refuses to sink :) All happened.

Lamarr class kit bash (Sovereign Pylons, Archon Saucer, everything else Lamarr) undertaking engine tests for a build I may mess with.

@taskforceadmiral.bsky.social TFA Development continues, with one of the cool things being worked on by the dev's is animated crewman.

Check out the post from the Blue Bird :)

@counselor-sunna.bsky.social or @borticuscryptic.bsky.social

There was a discussion about #startrekonline's dilex problem. I think the current backlog is currently 12 million.

You mentioned the team was thinking of some measures. Can I please ask if there has been any progress?

Some ending scenes from #startrekonline TFO can be funny when someone has a particular weapon. Or in this case a Mech suit :)

@counselor-sunna.bsky.social Maybe a good community event would be a funniest TFO ending scene screenshot competition or sharing event.

Been a while since my last #shadowsaturday. Had some fun, completed some side quests, explored, and spared one of the main 'enemies' you hunt in #AssassinsCreedShadows.

Having fun using GIMP to mess around with one of the screenshots I took last month during a run of Task Force Admiral being developed by @taskforceadmiral.bsky.social

Titled "Lady York sends her regards to the Fifth Carrier Division" :)

Seeing the amount of engagement, playthroughs and screenshots done by the @taskforceadmiral.bsky.social Community has been awesome.

Development is continuing in TFA, with some exciting stuff on the horizon.

#indiedevs #indiegames #WW2 #History
Now aircraft have different engine startup times so as to make it look a bit more natural. Sometimes it doesn't take much to give you a good feel. Get your earphones & enjoy the scene. Next stop: adding the small guys!
Big thanks to Hood for the video!

Run I did last month. Shokaku sailing straight and true (no avoidance, I suspect due to a coding glitch as she had her crash barriers up for landings).

End Result, all 16 SBDs missed with their loads :)

The future work for @taskforceadmiral.bsky.social TFA. Going to be fun to see this coming together.

#gamedevs #WW2
Allow us to introduce our roadmap on our way to the next stage of the beta! The moment we get to Point Luck, everybody will get a new demo - but you can still play the old one until next week. Also, here are a few pics of Akagi getting the usual treatment!
