HPS Civil War series - current development/support? - BigDuke66 - 01-06-2014 I was looking thru all the games of the Civil War series and what wonders me is that all the old HPS games have their last patch that really added/changed something from 2009 or before, the 2010/2011 patches seem just to add Mouse zoom and remove CD check. I had expected to see at least some games with newer patches that really added/changed something just like it is with the Napoleon series. So except for the Overland Campaign from JTS, does anyone know if there is any work done or planed on the other Civil War games? RE: HPS Civil War series - current development/support? - Compass Rose - 01-06-2014 You are correct. The ACW series as a whole has been quiet on the pc side since JTS Overland was released. I have not personally heard of any new titles in the works however, that doesn't mean that there is nothing on the drawing board. I know lately JTS has been hard at work producing and releasing titles that can be played on tablets and devices. Currently there are two ACW titles available which are Civil War Battles and Shiloh. http://johntillersoftware.com/Apps.html I was hoping to announce these new releases however, I have not yet received any screen shots or game info directly from JTS, which I had requested. I do know that John Tiller is also working on offering the no cd check to their line of HPS titles. Once this is done, the titles are then offered as digital downloads. Currently all John Tiller HPS ACW titles are now offered as DD's. http://www.hpssims.com/shopping/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=40&subcat=50&cat=Early+American+Battles I would not expect to see a new JTS ACW title any time soon however, as we are all aware of, John Tiller has surprised us more than once in the past with a new title that was not expected. |
