We visited friends and their tv was streaming time-lapse container ship videos by jeffhk. They were mesmerizing. The video linked ranges from watching the stars and clouds wheel across the sky, watching other ships go past on the major shipping routes, intense weather, and being berthed and watching the cranes unload and re-load the ship.
We agreed that a video game based on the mechanics and logistics aspects- with the eye-candy of that video- would be pretty cool. Jordan noted they have to load the containers planning for some number of port stops ahead, like chess.
I looked. People seem to mostly have panned both "Ships 2017" and "Transocean game." Apparently designing this game well is difficult. It should be a solvable problem! Anyone want to design this for us?
