About the game

[Recrut Tsoul]

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

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 glad, you like it. I guess you will LOVE the final game (like we do!).

Not planned at the moment due to a simple reason. It's almost impossible to achieve that on mobile devices to do things like modding. There's no plan to add an editor to the game itself atm, even though the idea is very interesting!

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?

[Recrut Tsoul]

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.

Interesting idea indeed, but it will be definitely NOT in the first release but might be a subject for later updates!

These are pretty standard. Works on any mid range Android/iOS/Windows Phone 8 device.

No it won't be a hardcore sim. We want to make it fun even though there are guys out there who would love to see a real hardcore sim, but I guess they should take a closer look at Atlantic Warfare. You should keep in mind that we talk about a game which is played mainly on tablets (and phones) so it should be compatible for some short (up to an hour maybe?) train riding game play.

Looking forward to this.

From all of us you have our gratitude and awaiting release!

Can't wait to give this app a try, the screenshot looks very promising. I also think that a pc based mission editor would be a great idea.

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.
