Well not quite 18months:) Plus I do think at the time it wasn't being worked on just on their next list..still have WITE2 to come yet. If I could I'd interview Gary but he avpids thta sor tof thing..like the plague it seems.



Erik Rutins -> RE: 2by3 to publish Steel Tigers (11/10/2016 11:10:20 AM)

Nothing to share yet, but development is in progress - both design, programming and art is well underway. When we get a bit further along, we also plan to involve some community members at what will still be a very early stage to make sure the end result will make you all happy.

i just pray i'm one of them, that would be [8D]



RodyMetal -> RE: 2by3 to publish Steel Tigers (11/10/2016 11:52:18 AM)

I never played Steel Panthers, should I get it now? or it is just too outdated, and there are better squad based turn based wargames?

Give it a try dude, it's free.

zasgard -> RE: 2by3 to publish Steel Tigers (11/11/2016 7:15:11 PM)

Conceptually Steel Panthers has it all. Battle editor, all major/minor nations in ww2 and every piece of equipment and unit ever created all in one package

It's just the graphics. I can't get over how ugly the game looks and I do not want to spend $40 to play the same game with slightly higher resolution (The Enhanced Version at Shrapnel Games)

Start with the Tutorial scenario and manual (PDF file). If game goes over your head, at least it cost you nothing. Battle Academy series is about the same scale but gameplay is easier.



Major_Mess -> RE: 2by3 to publish Steel Tigers (11/11/2016 8:48:14 PM)

There's some patches with fixes for campaigns, new scenarios and a few other goodies.
They're in the same sub-forum as the D/L

re: The 4th patch - The Awesome Pack
Don't install the .shp files (Matts stuff) right yet, there is an issue or two with that.
the rest is good.

if you have a newer machine, like any of those multi-cores you'll have to use a small but incredibly useful program called DxWnd.
Ask here or the SPWaW sub-forum for help.

cheers

MM



zasgard -> RE: 2by3 to publish Steel Tigers (11/11/2016 11:32:43 PM)

Tried downloading SPWaW 2016 and when I run it the menu screen is multi colored....looks like the game menu screen took a hit of acid :)

Yeah, bad acid that hurts your eyes.

If I had to guess I'd say you're running a Win7 box.
Confirm what you're running, and I'll help you with a work-around that will satisfy.

zasgard -> RE: 2by3 to publish Steel Tigers (11/12/2016 1:16:44 AM)

Yep! Windows 7

Sure I will, I played BA2 and I like it but too simplified for my taste, want something with more complex system under hood, I really like games like close combat, but I prefer it to be turn based.

In that case SPWAW, WinSPWW2, and WinSPMBT are what you seek. All are available for free. But if you pay for them, you'll get some extras. SPWAW - General's Edition has something called Mega Campaigns (look it up on this Matrix site) and WinSPWW2 & WinSPMBT (competitive titles from another publisher) offer higher resolutions.



Kuokkanen -> RE: 2by3 to publish Steel Tigers (11/12/2016 4:42:39 PM)

What comes to SPWAW in Windows 7, attached file works for me. Unpack it into SPWAW directory and run it.

What it does:
It is text command file. It shuts off the Explorer ( = Windows user interface), starts the game, and restarts the Explorer when you quit the game.



Riitaoja2 -> RE: 2by3 to publish Steel Tigers (11/12/2016 4:43:40 PM)

zasgard Dxwnd fixes the color problems on Windows 7 as well as fixing the artillery screen issue. I suggest you grab the fix from here:
http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4060116

P.S. There are a lot of old fixes for the color problems on Win7. For exmaple one is a cmd file that closes explorer.exe. I would not recommend those.



CaptBeefheart -> RE: 2by3 to publish Steel Tigers (11/15/2016 1:44:04 AM)

The last time I tried it I got rid of the acid trip graphics, but it took forever to set up arty barrages. Riitaoja2, I'll give that fix a shot. Many thanks.

Cheers,
CC

Any more news? Please [:D]

Hi guys,

The visuals will be very high quality. It will not look like Battle Academy, which had its own art style, it will look like a much better Steel Panthers.

We really can't say much more at this point, despite all the interest, but I'm glad to see that you are all interested!

Regards,

- Erik





Jugger -> RE: 2by3 to publish Steel Tigers (4/30/2017 1:53:09 PM)

Hopefully we will hear some solid news from the "Home of the Wargamers" event for Matrix/Slitherine being held in Italy between May 9th - 11th.[&:]



RodyMetal -> RE: 2by3 to publish Steel Tigers (4/30/2017 2:20:29 PM)

That was last year Jugger72



Jugger -> RE: 2by3 to publish Steel Tigers (5/1/2017 11:34:05 AM)

[:D]whoops still living in the pass I see.[:D]



Kuokkanen -> RE: 2by3 to publish Steel Tigers (5/3/2017 6:36:05 PM)

Now we've got something



Intenso82 -> RE: 2by3 to publish Steel Tigers (5/7/2017 9:23:46 AM)

Will this be the continuation of the Steel Panther or the sequel to the Battle Aсademy on the same engine?



PipFromSlitherine -> RE: 2by3 to publish Steel Tigers (5/8/2017 5:10:29 PM)

It is a brand new game, it will bear very little resemblance to Battle Academy.

Cheers

Pip

The SP was a good game for its time. I played in all parts, SP I-III, SP World at War, SP MBT, SP WWII.
In memory of SP World at War, i called the mod for PZC Russia at War. :)



zasgard -> RE: 2by3 to publish Steel Tigers (2/21/2018 5:36:15 PM)

Any new news on this game?

Notice he said "very little" he didn't say no resemblance at all! [:'(]



Erik Rutins -> RE: 2by3 to publish Steel Tigers (2/21/2018 6:49:55 PM)

We are working hard on it every day. I expect we'll be inviting a few community members to give us input and feedback a bit later this year.

Regards,

Do you have any idea on at least the minimum system specs Erik? I think there's a lot of XP and Vista users out there still.

Also, please make this a Steam game as well as here as at least I can try it on Steam and if it doesn't work can get a refund without a lot of hassle.

Thanks Erik

That's pretty good concrete info. Gives me time to whittle away at some of my gaming library before this monster gets on my hard drive.

Best of luck to you and your team
