The Battle of Britain Bunker Day Out!

ATTENTION CAMPERS!

HQ has requested we lift the red tape on some of our Top Secret operations, namely when the Absolutely Games and Team17 squads visited the Battle of Britain Bunker with the esteemed guest of honour, historian James Holland.

It was a delight to be able to explore the actual bunkers where crucial decisions were made during desperate times and seep in the knowledge.

Stealth. Ambush. Assault - Deep Dive #002

ATTENTION CAMPERS!

We've got a required viewing of this here brief sent from HQ. London says it's crucial and mandatory if we want a chance in hell when our boys launch their attack.

This will help us understand the situations we'll be dropping into and extracting from. It's not going to be a cakewalk, patience is the key when we're infiltrating into enemy territory.

That said, I wouldn't put it past you lot if you wanted to get your hands grubby and take out a few of the bastards with a flourish. I know I would if I were in your shoes.

Now then, hop to it.

At The Basecamp - Episode #001

Hello all,

Just before we break off for the Winter holidays and enjoy some time with friends and family, we wanted to share one more episode of At The Basecamp before the year is out.

In this episode, Krispy is joined by James and Eric from the Art team who discuss the creation and the challenges in a World War 2 game, and the complexities of animation, especially when locked to a 1x1 cell.

NOTE: The audio balance is off in this episode with one of the mics (plus some background audio) but we thought it was still worth sharing.
