I think I’ll let Wolf take it for me 🙂 He’s obviously much more keen than I am to have his eyes water.

Grrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!! 🙂
Second year running for us that we have choked on the big day. I wouldn’t have minded the defeat so much, but the match was pretty crap as I remember.
But it’s nice to see a proper northern side get the title – just thankfully it wasn’t Newcastle!
Lol.
But I thought “Good Game Good Game” was Bruce Forsyth’s catchphrase? Mind you, he and Jimmy could be twins separated at birth, I suppose 🙂
I’ve just browsed some of the 1944 forums, and now I’m worried. The thread on C/C++ and C# makes me realise these guys don’t have a bloody clue.
Chance of this game shipping is close to zero – hope I’m wrong, but the forums are full crap.
The degree of sponsorship from the companies on the home page could be what makes or breaks this. For example, I am very familiar with Kynogon, who are a French based AI engine developer who have done some good stuff in the past. And Speedtree is good tech too.
However, if the degree of sponsorship is just using the tech, and not getting the tech providers more closely involved, then this is extremely high risk.
By way of comparison I had peripheral involvement in The Godfather. This started out with very lofty aims indeed – similar in scope to this one – and the vast majority were scaled way back in order to ship something that worked. Still a very cool game though.
