Research complete (?)

Posted by

I just spent 5 working hours brainstorming and doing research.  I now have a set of ships (with various tonnages, cannon, speeds, and costs) that I *think* will be fairly realistic and balanced in terms of gameplay.

I haven’t written a single line of code, which is… atypical for me at this point in an LD.  But I did want to have more of this game designed up-front before I started, and it is almost completely designed at this point.

    Fairly realistic? I hope nobody notices. I have ships in my game and I don’t know thing one about boats…

      It probably won’t matter in the end. Also, everything is going to be sped up in-game; ships moved and fired surprisingly slowly back in the day.
