Hello all, I've been working on my new release for a few months. It's almost there. This is a DBPro work, it's called "Airline Sharks". It's a 3d board game with some monopoly-styled gameplay...sort of.

You can see the ad artwork here:

Let me know what you think.

P.S. I'll be releasing some videos soon.

Looks very interesting. The wmv link is not working though...

Will there be a demo?

Thanks.

I'll probably release it with a TRIAL MODE, 15 days or something like that.

I just clicked on the wmv link and my Windows Media Player opened right up. Perhaps you can simply right-click > Save As and then play it that way. Let me know if it works that way or not.

The video looks interesting. Can't wait to see this in action.

Strange, the link works fine for me now... maybe a glitch on my PC I've been having some issues.

Looks great.

I've created a new pre-release video. This shows the entire gameboard populated with all buildings/terminals/towers. I simply have all 6 aircraft gamepieces taxi around the board and the camera follows, or points at each targets as I choose them. It's coming along nicely.

You should have the planes smoothly turn instead of jerk every few degrees. Game looks nice.

I'm using DarkAI. Since there is route point only at each stoppping point, the planes are following short straight segments. I'd have to add more points in between those to stop the jerkiness. I haven't decided during gameplay whether to fully animate the planes, or have them simply jump from point to point as if moved by hand. But I too don't like the movement.

The idea is interesting and the game board looks very nice. I'm looking forward to seeing the gameplay as well.

@Mireben, thanks! I'm getting really close. This idea was born out of a response to another game that I saw that was touted as a simulator, but in reality is nothing but a 2d board game. So I decided to go one step better with a 3d board game. It has just kinda blossomed from there.
