Final Video Dev Diary & Video Walkthrough Beats the Drum of War

New York – April 13th - Modern games are more than images and rules; choosing the right music to set the tone for the experience can be as important as getting the weapon loadout on a Akula submarine correct. Games are a complete sensory experience.

In the final video developer diary from Turbo Tape Games, the Naval War: Arctic Circle development team talks about how the music of the game will capture the spirit of whatever is going on on-screen. The Bergen, Norway based developers turned to a band from their own city and worked together with the black metal artist Demonaz, most famous for his work in Immortal.

Espen Thomassen Saeverud, Senior Graphics Programmer, explains how the naval war found a perfect match in Norwegian black metal:
“We said to Demonaz that this is a game about massive steel ships fighting each other in the cold, dark Arctic. And Demonaz came right over to look at the project and he just couldn´t resist it. Fire, ice and steel. Epic confrontations between the greatest war machines ever built. The style, the music, the theme, it was all a perfect fit. That can only have one soundtrack, and that’s Demonaz’ unique metal soundtrack for Naval War: Arctic Circle.”

Im only 10 minutes in the video walkthrough, and it's already by far superior to the ingame tutorial.
 
Immortal and Paradox Interactive? I think I am currently having a dream similar to the one where I traveled from Istanbul to Goteborg by a small bus in 30 minutes, just to listen to a rehearsal of Dark Tranquillity in their studio. Please wake me up...
 
Wow! This is amazing. I have been doing everything totally wrong by now. Thank you so much.
 
o_O Did I hear somebody say black metal?
When this game was first announced the first thing I thought of was "I'm going to have to listen to 'Battles in the North' while playing this game". Its good to know I'm not crazy.
And for a future DLC you can add an easter egg that transports your ships to Blashyrkh!
Ok maybe I am crazy.
 
in the first video 0-44 there is enciclopydia and content options in the menu. I don't have it in my game

I noticed that one to. I guess the content menu is pretty useless at the moment, since there probably ain't any content yet. The encyclopedia is a must in a game like this. Maybe its the encyclopedia that is in the content menu? as a DLC?
 
The first time I saw this title, I thought the "black metal" part was something totally coincidental.

Then I read the whole thing and went "Whaaaaaa?"

Now I must get the game.
