PT BOATS - Developer Diary Blog opened!

Battlefront.com, an independent internet-based publisher for superior war and strategy games and one of the internets largest wargaming communities, and Akella, one of Eastern Europe’s leading development and publishing houses, have just opened a dedicated Developer Diary blog for their upcoming “PT Boats: Knights of the Sea” naval simulation!

Said Martin van Balkom from Battlefront.com: “Many questions are reaching us from fans anticipating the title’s release, and the best way to respond to them all in detail is by a dedicated series of articles, touching upon many different aspects of the game, from various simulation effects and calculations such as ballistics, water and object physics, damage modeling and others, to the background and history of PT Boats.”

"PT Boats“ fully supports DirectX 10 and multi-core processors. System requirements and the recommended system configuration is listed below.

"PT Boats: Knights of the Sea“ is currently in beta and localization stage and will be ready for release later this year, 2009.
