About the game

[Xaron]

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.

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

• use your US submarine to attack the Japanese ships
• free open ended patrol and specific missions
• a navigation map
• day/night cycles
• equip your submarine in your harbor
• attack the enemy with torpedos or with the gun / air attacks
• get awards and medals
• share your success with other captains (list of most successful captains online)

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.

Hi Xaron. The game look fantastic I cant wait to get it . Keep up the great work.:salu te:

[Xaron]

Thanks guys!

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

Thanks for your words! Actually we think about to make it free to let the players see if they like it or not (maybe with just a mission or so) and give the player the option to buy the full version if he/she likes it.

Atm we don't plan multiplayer stuff but this can change of course. But this depends on how well the game is taken by the players because (good!) multiplayer is something where we have to put some effort into it to make it fun. What we plan is some kind of a "highscore" list of best captains.

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?
