addedHello everyone!Development is progressing steadily and we're continuously adding new mechanics. Our goal is not only to recreate the core drilling operations, but also to showcase many of the supporting tasks that keep an offshore platform running every day. There is always something happening on an oil rig, and we want players to truly feel what it's like to work there. We're working hard to create a believable and reasonably realistic offshore platform environment while also making sure players always have a variety of engaging tasks to perform. Our goal is to balance authenticity with enjoyable gameplay, so players can experience both the atmosphere of working at sea and the many responsibilities that come with operating an offshore oil rig.
