Here's a prototype for our in-game briefings, showcasing the "long" Coral Sea scenario. These briefings will come as a mean for the player to get more acquainted in a multimedia fashion with the incoming operation, and will complement a full text-based briefing which will contain all the details the player needs to accomplish the mission, whether you are new to the topic or a very old Pacific hand with Shattered Sword or Neptune's Inferno as a bedside companion.👀


Although there's nothing special on the technical side of things, we tried to innovate in regard of how the information is constructed & delivered. We went through actual archives & well-known books so as to try to provide the player with a realistic level of intel contents🗺️📚📰

Doing so, we also tried to provide as much context as possible so that you don't need to be an actual WW2 PTO buff to understand the stakes. One of our inspirations were the briefings you had in Silent Hunter 4, others might see DNA from Silent Service 2 too!❤️

Arguably though, so as to provide anything useful, the player still gets to know more than his/her historical counterpart... In this case Admiral Fletcher went to war with a limited amount of info. Actually few days before the battle, he knew more about the enemy than he did about the forces available to SWPA!😅

Final version will naturally use our own background.



Tulagi & Rabaul's pronunciation are still on the grill, as we wonder if it's best to have an American voice actor pronounce it as they look at first by his standards, or try to go for the actual genuine pronunciation instead - at the risk of not sounding too authentic considering the setting. We'll decide eventually. Until then, our apologies to anybody who might object to this. Besides, we are aware of other discrepancies or possible objections (Vanuatu being known as New Hebrides in English sources in 1942, or the US flag here showing bases where US forces are present instead of national "ownership" flags) and we will address that in the final product.
