Good news pilots! The boffins at GHQ have come up with a new plan, called a "demo".
Best of all, it's free!
Well - I say free - there's a good chance you might still die, but that's a price worth paying for King and Country - eh what?
Chocks away!

Attention aviators!
At the risk of sticking my head too far out of the cockpit, I'm sharing my first crack at making a game... a WW1 side scrolling 2D action shooter inspired by the games I loved as a kid - games like Sopwith, Armour Alley and Choplifter.

I'm not a coder, and I'm definitely not an artist, and I work full time so this is a new hobby. I'm using Claude AI (yes, my 15 year old son is furious with me!) but I'm battering it about the head to make something resembling what I love about those old games.
The premise is simple - take to the skies and blast anything that moves on land, the sea or in the air:
- Land — Strafe enemy trenches, silence artillery batteries, and survive a gauntlet of fire as you duck and weave your way across the enemy lines of the Western Front!
- Air — Climb into the clouds and take on the Red Baron and his Flying Circus!
- Sea — Skim over open water as you target the enemy's patrol boats, destroyers, cruisers and more!
Features:
- Deadly enemies — dodge anti-aircraft fire, enemy tanks, planes and ships, and a host of other random events.
- Dynamic weather — rain, wind, storm seas, sunny days and searchlit night
- Career mode — Create your perfect pilot and guide them through the gauntlet to earn medals and a place on the Roll of Honour and Global Leaderboard
- Growing list of options — From game type to weather, you're in command. Sort of.
I've rolled out three levels so far, and they all need work, so definitely 'Early Access' at this stage - but I find it fun to play so hopefully some others will too.
I'd love your feedback, good or bad, as I'm definitely new to this and want to make something fun.
Chocks away!
