MicroProse as publisher

[SandMartin]

Congratulations!
Hopefully this will speed up the development of the game without affecting its essence.

Good News... I hope! Publishers can be an impediment. Lets hope not in this case.

Yes that's true. If it was anybody else besides MicroProse I would be worried.

But is it the same MicroProse? If its the one I am thinking of, they vanished many many( over 15) years ago then emerged again a year or so ago. With that long of an absence I would think they are only MicroProse by name.

Yeah but when they came back they started getting involved in the same stuff they used to. And the way they have been doing business with their devs sounds good. I'm a Drakeling Labs supporter so I get to hear things sometimes. And their website seems to show they understand what made them so good.

Thats good to hear. Maybe this will mean they can add a programmer that knows AI... and Track IR :)

I had nothing to do with Ground Branch coming to MicroProse, but thanks for remembering my contributions to the genre.

I'm just a fan, is all :D

Plus, I'm busy leading the new B-17 game.

Nice to hear from you.
Please tell me, do the screenshots from the BF-109 cockpit refer to the B-17 game or is it a different game?

[JohnJ]

More info is coming soon. It seems that some of the press release stuff got out before the social media releases. :)

Congrats on the deal, the name microprose alone brings back childhood memories of playing gunship and pirates on an commodore c46.

And now my back is aching because i feel old....
