whats the story?

Last update i saw was the December 2017 update.

the dev team has been startlingly quiet since, and that has been almost 7 months ago.

since then we have apparently seen a name change from UBOOT to UBOAT, and a release date change from naming a specific quarter of 2018, to just, "2018" which is a pretty broad brush stroke.

I added this to my steam wish-list over a year and a half ago, and their product seemed pretty much in a near finished state way back then.

do we know anything?

seems like this game has gone through a pretty hush hush development

I share in your frustrations. I’ve been watching this for the same amount of time and actually bought a new computer for it in Jan of 2017. In their last update they stated that they are going to release uboat to closed beta in June to Kickstarter supporters and then a month later to everyone in an open beta. Believe me I’m hoping to get this soon but also I hope it meets my expectations and the longer it goes the higher my expectations become. I think I’m setting up myself for disappointment but it is what it is at this point.

Here is their latest update https://www.kickstarter.com/projects.../posts/2163312

LOL! I wasn't the only one that purchased a new laptop just for Uboot. I have it even with the factory plastics.

The Devs have been vocal on the Steam forums, they said not to expect many updates for now as the bulk of there work now involves polishing up their code, and stomping bugs.
It'll probably come out for Q3/Q4 this year. I wouldn't worry though, as a crowd funded project, they raised more than enough cash to keep them going and have an indy publisher on board, so there is no logical reason why the game wont be out eventually, given how far they've come.

they have been woefully absent - IMHO - in the go to place on the web for all things subsim related... subsim.

As hot of a new release as this thing seems to be, the U-Boat subforum seems to be a ghost town

sad

We post regular updates on Kickstarter and there just isn't much more to say as game is still in production. As players ourselves, we love

there just is a healthy level of communication for a small dev team to maintain. I'm the only English speaking person in the team and the only programmer. I simply prefer to get the work done instead of speaking about non existing stuff

If you will closely track our development you will see how much has changed using the feedback from the community, we are monitoring all channels. Just have your expectations at bay, our budget for this game is at least 25 times smaller than for Silent Hunter 5.

If you feel out of loop on the other hand and have any questions about the game - feel free to ask about anything, I keep having enabled notifications on all posts on these subforums and will be aware of it for sure.
