Jammin Games

I'm delighted to announce that I've partnered with @micro_prose in a publishing deal for my combat helicopter game! It will be released as Gunship Origins; the first Gunship title published by MicroProse in over 25 years. As a huge fan of MicroProse games in the 90s, this couldn't be a better fit. I'm absolutely pumped about it.

@GreenDarkDrago1 @PizzaBoxDino I don’t care if the Comanche program was canceled, it’s part of our lore now. I want it too!

@jammingames @PizzaBoxDino *whispers* RAH-66 ;) My days were those of Commanche Gold.

This is why co-op is awesome. My dad (71), me (44), and my son (21) flying a mission together. Three generations.

If you want, you can also follow my 𝕏 account. I post a lot of mini updates here because it’s quick. Plus I talk more about the tech behind the game (I’m using Godot engine).

Btw the last game my dad really got into was Gunship 2000, which came out in 1991. Hasn’t played anything since probably 1995. He’s the type of guy to say “I’d rather go fishing” if you wanted to play a game with him. Which … don’t blame him. But a couple weeks ago he went out and bought a gaming laptop to play my game. How cool is that?

@DavidEveryman @micro_prose Going to do my best! Thank you!

@jammingames @micro_prose Wishlisted. Hoping it is as fun as the originals which were the perfect balance between arcade and simulation.

@808_Yinzer Right? If that isn’t love …

@jammingames That’s an awesome dad move. Zero hesitation in supporting you and what you’re building

@Lil_ken_jnr Dumb take, but also, pretty sure my mom was in the kitchen when I took this

@jammingames No women In the house? Oh I forgot, their duty's in the kitchen

@makanlapanempat @micro_prose Kiowa Warrior, Black Hawk for now

@jammingames @micro_prose Will there be other helo to fly? Like kiowa or little bird?

@cyrus_zei Or fortunate son

@jammingames Did you play top gun theme song in the background ?

@coinkong Working hard on it, but I have a lot of systems to build and of course improve graphics and polish everything. Follow along if you want and I’ll try to make sure I post regular updates!

@jammingames When is this coming out? I love old games like this.

@Nopetwit Yes for sure. Thanks !’

@jammingames Sounds like work for the future if you feel like it fits the feeling of the game in the right way. I got it wishlisted.

Graphics are definitely important, and we'll be putting a lot of time and effort into that. But my focus is on the core gameplay, flight model, multiplayer co-op, and the "feel" of the game. If I don't get those right, even with good graphics it'll just be a pretty demo. That's not what success looks like to me.

@amuldotexe Nice. I love learning these things.

@jammingames @jamonholmgren Swarn Seedhi Swarn is Golden Seedhi is Ladder @grok help pronounce

@goongolabongo @PandasAndVidya My son and I went through original halo together before he moved out and it was awesome.

@jammingames @PandasAndVidya Just wait and see how much fun it gets when you play a game like halo ODST together

@RandoCollector I can confirm no Arabs are on the receiving end of these virtual missiles. In fact, the “enemy” in this game is an unnamed force that happens to use Soviet era equipment (mostly because those are the easiest models to find). I’m avoiding making this game political.

@jammingames 16 actual Arab lives were lost in what they thought was a simulation.👀

@Rayografico_ Honestly not that much! My laptop there is a 2022 M2 MacBook Air.

@jammingames The power that those PCs need to have

@LukeBain69 TY!! You’re the best Luke. Maybe the 3 of us could fly a mission someday

@jammingames I sent them the steam page!!

@PizzaBoxDino I’d like to add marine helicopters eventually. AH-1 SuperCobra and Viper, and UH-1 Huey and Venom. But these models are expensive to design and integrate and tune at high fidelity, so I’m not sure if it’ll make it in or not. Hoping to.

@jammingames What helos are planned to be in game? Will it just be the AH-64 or can we expect to see AH-1s as well?

@amuldotexe @jamonholmgren I love this. How do you pronounce that?

@jammingames @jamonholmgren What really cool is that @jamonholmgren is himself a grand dad so I guess you have achieved what in our dharma is called sone ki seedhi ( the gold ladder )

@NPCEDD I GOTTA get the Kiowa Warrior. Just gotta.

@jammingames Nice, I checked the Steam page saw it will have the Kiowa Warrior, instant wishlist.

@Vizalok No, this is the only one we’ve played together. My son and I play NBA 2k, stuff like that.

@jammingames Do yall play rust together

@Cobaltblue2905 Think BF but slightly more realistic. Not much more. Just a bit.

@jammingames I saw your announcement earlier and wishlisted the game right away. Is this going to be more of a simulation or like flying in BF?

@6EQUJ5wow Mouse was broken in this build … lol

@jammingames No one is using a mouse.
