GMT games have one game being made into a PC game and several for IoS and android. They are also in talks with someone about Combat Commander and two others. They also have a big list they want converted and are looking for developers.
Which game is being made into a PC game?

Not sue I'm very keen on the precived scale of The Lordz WW1 game. Hardly any hexes make up the entire West front.

The biggest issue is many of the developers working on wargames are only part time or volunteer as the money isn't there to fund large full time teams. Even if there is a full time team member they often are backed up and supported by volunteers or part timers.
I was kinda suspecting that getting a stable paying job is a good idea when wanting to develop games that one wants to exist instead of games that the masses want. I wonder if it's worth to take a specialisation in AI in such situation...ORIGINAL: Iain McNeil
We tend to avoid announcing things until they are close to completion because of the complexities of making games and the number that get delayed or fall by the wayside. To be honest it is rare for one to arrive when expected! Even then one's we're expecting to finish soon can be delayed months or even years. We have severe backlash from unhappy customers on these and we want to avoid disappointing people.

Very true. Hence the delay with Modern Wars: Volume I.

Battle Command is being reworked, re do the UI and add an AI, which Micheal believes he can out do anything out there at the moment. I actually believe him.

Last time I took a look at his design he had all game-data stored in dozens and dozens of separate M$ Access tables so I would take anything he says about his programming abilities with a trainload of salt.

The new game will hopefully be finished in a year and fingers crossed released to retail.
I had ago hotseat last night and though the UI is hard work at first the detail and depth is astounding. He really needs new players to help with development though. He is a shy man who has little convidence in his PR skills and promoting the game. I hope enough people can chip in and help.

I actually like the 3D terrain and wish to god Dave could introduce the like into Command Ops - it would help immensely for me in immersion and tactical awareness. Nothing better than a good view of the terrain.
I have to be honest though in that I haven't given this game any sort of look past the screenies.
Note to Dave (Panther Games) - if you ever do go 3D with the terrain, I don't want sprites...just a personal preference [:D]
I've always wanted a version of Steel Panthers with 3D terrain, now that would be something.
