Steam & Iron. Battle of Port Arthur

This update has been in development for almost a month, and it’s finally ready. I’ve completely redesigned the in-game minimap almost from scratch. The new version is faster, more intuitive, and far more informative.The previous version of the minimap was slow because it used unnecessary resources, which noticeably affected performance. It didn’t display each ship’s target or its position within the group. There were also no tactical grid squares, and their addition has greatly improved navigation at sea. Thanks to these optimizations, performance has increased by more than 10 FPS.Now, everything has changed:Ship icons clearly show all vessels on the map.Routes and waypoints visualize the planned path of each group.Targets show exactly what each ship is aiming for.The ship's order in the group is now easy to identify.With these improvements, navigation and situational awareness are much easier, letting players focus on commanding the fleet without fighting the interface.Work continues as we are approaching the first release.

Development update {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45439613/052679b914026e407b75b5f006458a020b221f22.jpg It’s been a while since the last dev update, so here it is. Over the past month, I’ve been working on adding torpedoes to the game. To me, they are the second key pillar alongside artillery. Naval actions in the Russo-Japanese War began with the torpedo attack on Port Arthur and concluded with night combat after the Battle of Tsushima. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45439613/3cdde4ca01a52ba561265db37b16dcfefe1fdaf0.jpg I can now say that destroyers are able to launch torpedoes, and capital ships have their light batteries ready for defense. I also added two new ships: Murakumo-class destroyer for the IJN Sokol-class destroyer for the IRN More destroyers and torpedo boats will be added later. Work continues as the game approaches its first release. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45439613/473fec414b26d5af686309bc97d8d4b56d51af05.jpg
