Gunship: Origins Devlog #1 – Flying the Latest Build [video]

The video devlog showcases the latest build of the game Gunship: Origins, featuring gameplay footage of flying the aircraft, discussing development progress, new features, and flight mechanics updates.

Background

- **Gunship: Origins** is an in-development sequel to the 1980s PC helicopter combat sim *Gunship* (MicroProse). Like its predecessor, it aims for realistic flight modeling, weapon systems, and mission planning rather than arcade action. - The devlog is from the original creator, **Andy Hollis**, who also designed the classic *Gunship* and other MicroProse flight sims. This is a passion project years in the making. - **Why it matters**: The hardcore flight-sim genre has largely been overtaken by military-aviation sims like *DCS World*. A modern, single-player, study-level helicopter sim with a campaign structure is rare. For veterans of 1980s/90s PC gaming, this is a long-awaited return of a landmark franchise.
