About the game
Silent Depth is a mobile 3d submarine simulation game in development. Mobile means it will be available for smartphones and tablets on almost all platforms like Android, iPhone/iPad and Windows Phone 8.
You are the captain of a US Balao Class Submarine in World War II and are positioned in the Pacific. Your base harbor is Midway where you repair and equip your submarine with torpedos, ammunition and fuel. http://www.silentdepth.com/dl/screen...032-midway.jpg (screenshot taken from Samsung S3) There will be a free patrol mode where you just drive around and attack japanese ships. That way you select your route on a map and as soon as you spot something (or get spotted!) the game switches back to 3d mode where you can attack (either with torpedos or your gun) or try to escape. Missions will be available as well of course and a career mode. You will get awards and medals. Even though it is a single player game some kind of an online highscore list is planned. Part of the game are realistic day/night cycles and real waves for instance. It won't be an arcade game, neither a hardcore sim (even though it will be as realistic as possible!) which would be just too much for smartphones/tablets. Just take a look a the screenshots and some of the ingame videos. You can follow us at Facebook as well to be up to date and discuss it there or in our forums here. We're interested in all kinds of criticism and suggestions! Planned features
Feel free to ask any questions, we will build up some kind of a F.A.Q. to answer all those! Thanks for reading! |

Free patrol mode. 3-D game mode. Sounds like it owes a bit to Silent Service, but with decades of improvement. I like that. :sunny:

Doing a smartphone/tablet sim won't stop us from releasing a PC/Mac version of course! But it won't be that heavy as Silent Hunter. |

Silent Hunter 2 was my favorite game of all time, I like its gameplay and the way it works all around, I think that's the best sub sim ever, and due to the way it was built would be perfect for a touch screen, I would most definitely pay for it and Im not talking like 1 or 2 dollars I would pay $20 for it if I can put it on my smart phone or tablet.
So if you can make it somewhere or something like that then I'll be your first customer. The best way to market this game would be to allow it to be downloaded for free and then you charge people for other features such as campaigns, missions, different submarines and multiplayer ability and have them available for purchase in the app stores. If you decide to do multiplayer I don't think the peer to peer Microsoft thing is going to work like it did in SH2 because these are wireless network devices, the best route would be to have a dedicated Linux & Windows server that's available for download for anyone. |
I'm going to be spending a lot of time on my Mum's fun just to play this :up:

I just got done watching the videos on YouTube, it is basically SH2 ........ I think I'm about to NUT!!!
Anyway, do you have a mission editor for us sheeple to create our own missions? |

I'm thinking of an editor for a PC that can save the mission to a file, then transfer it to your device and/or put it on the net for download.
Also, you may need to test & compile the executable for each device avalible on the market as some apps require this by the developer so it can be compatible for all devices, as the Android play store can be set to detect the users device and show a warning that this version is not compatible with your device and or the play store can auto redirect the user to the correct download, if a device inquires about your game, the play store can notify YOU that you have potential customers with this certain device that want to buy your product, so then you get working to compile it to that devices kernel & hardware. For now all the Galaxy phones & tablets would cover most of your customer base. By the way, what are the system requirements? |
I hope you will make this game fun to play like SH2, as I noticed the follow up Silent Hunter series started to get a little to hard core, such as crew assignments.
As the captain, your job is to direct the mission, the other crew members do their jobs so that the captain can do his, also, have an option to enable & disable these features as wanted. I never bothered buying SH4 & SH5, because I simply didn't feel like swabbing the deck & cleaning the head in a video game. If you truly wanted to create the most hard core Subsim ever, you could add in features such as cleaning, rust Managment, chow hall duties, tool check in & check out. During swabbing the deck, just before you complete your task, you can have an officer walk by on your wet floor & **** it up, then you must exercise restraint to NOT kick his ass. A Subsim like this will truely separate the men from the boys, as you have all these clowns on this board that claim to be hard core, overlook or skip just a minor rust Managment detail, a valve head gets rusted into position, and when the captain orders DIVE, you are unable to and get blown to smitherines. Overlook some cleaning duties, the hole crew gets infected with colora. |
