• DevLog: "Submerging" Below the Horizon - 16 August 2026

  Climb to the second floor, and you'll catch the sunrise 15 seconds earlier. We all know the Earth is round, but on a human scale, treating it as flat usually works fine. In reality, though, the curvature kicks in much faster than we expect—which is exactly why modern naval defense is inherently so difficult.This update focuses on enemy AI air defenses. By the mid-20th century, rapid advances in aviation rendered traditional surface warships largely obsolete. Massive battleships faded into history, but a few surface combatants remained. To survive, they adapted, bristling with anti-aircraft weaponry. Decades of evolution followed, pushing air defense systems to the point where modern ships can intercept targets even in outer space.Over the past few months, we've been implementing the core mechanics of these defenses. Large interceptors launched from a VLS excel against high-altitude targ…

• Development: Clockwork Fleet - 27 February 2026

  First, I apologize for the year-long silence. As I'm in my final year of university, I spend most of my days chained to the lab. But don't worry—I've been steadily chipping away at this project in the background.Most of my recent progress involves friendly and enemy AI. As you know, many games feature AI-controlled enemies or racing cars. But let's face it: those aren't real enemies. Their actual job is to hold out for a few minutes before gracefully losing. They aren't genuinely trying to beat you. In military sims, however, balancing this handicap with realism is a constant struggle. For sim enthusiasts, realism is king. But if the AI attacked with the uncompromising ruthlessness of a real military, you'd have to restart the first tutorial 68 times just to beat it.I didn't want to do that, so I started researching how to build optimal AI. I began with a simple Switch-case finite state…

• Development : Ballistic Missile Submarine - 19 October 2024

  Knights with swords galloping across the plains, engaging in fierce battles... long ago, that's what war looked like. Then, the miracles of industrialization by modern civilization changed everything. Weapons became more powerful and complex. Making tanks and fighter jets required loads of factories. So, wars began to be fought in factories. The path to victory was outproducing the enemy in weaponry. But this was a tough task. Then the generals had a brilliant idea: destroy the enemy's factories. A new era of warfare had begun. Around the same time, scientists were working on a new bomb that could obliterate entire factories and cities. It was perfect for this new age of war. Everything was there at the right time. To quote Victor Hugo: "Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come." Submarines and Nuclear Weapons We often think of submarines as smart hunters, but that’s on…

• Development : Explosion Artist - 10 September 2024

  I remember playing GTA5 back in 2013 and being absolutely thrilled by the thick, immersive explosion effects. I would steal a tank from the military base and go on a rampage, destroying every vehicle in sight. Those explosions were addictive! Now, I’ve finally transitioned to being the one creating explosions (safely, of course). A famous Japanese sculptor once said, “Art is explosion.” He meant it metaphorically, as a way to express emotions. But I believe "explosions are art". This isn’t a metaphor; creating beautiful explosions requires an artistic touch. Nowadays, these experts are known as VFX artists. The only problem was, I had no experience or knowledge as a VFX artist. But then again, most developers are not great at predicting future problems, which is why game release dates get delayed so often. Feeling lost, I browsed the Unity Asset Store and found some amazing products. Th…

• Development : Behind the Nuclear Power - 17 July 2024

  When I was in elementary school, I couldn’t trust the ground beneath my feet. I feared it might one day sink into a sea of magma. Fortunately, that was a misunderstanding on my part. When you look at a cross-section of the Earth, it seems like there’s a vast amount of molten rock beneath the crust we live on. But in reality, it’s not liquid. Due to the high pressure underground, it remains solid even at high temperatures. This phenomenon was discovered hundreds of years ago, back when science was still called alchemy. By applying high pressure to a substance, you can prevent it from melting or boiling. This discovery revolutionized navies centuries later. Pressurized Water Reactor One of the critical issues in reactor development was finding a way to isolate water contaminated with radioactive materials. As water passes through the reactor core, a nuclear reaction called the (n-p) react…

• Development : Torpedo in the water - 16 June 2024

  Stealth is not the only reason submarines are said to be the most powerful. Modern torpedoes have unparalleled power on the battlefield. Since the advent of the self-guided torpedo, all kinds of decoys have been developed to fool it. However, it is now known that many of them do not work well enough. The torpedo's search algorithm is designed to either ignore the decoy or return and attack again even if it misses the enemy. In other words, it is very advantageous to the attacker. Asymmetries like this are also a bit tricky to create games. Looking back at other games, it is clear that unbalanced weapons ruin the battlefield. Therefore, I have established these policies. - Avoid making the torpedo’s search algorithm more advanced. Simplifying maneuver patterns during re-attacks allows defenders to avoid them. It also does not have advanced target identification capabilities such as image…
