Please answer my question

[i2Cold]

What will it take to make a new Battlestations game?

-Game engine
-A Good Team of people
-Money


What we have

-Game engine [o]
-A Good team of people [[x]]
-Money [[x]]


x = what we have
o = what we dont have.


My question is will you want to do such a game? the Eidos hungary has abandonned the project A good one and modding communities are our only hope.

Engine shouldn't be an issue, there's a number you can download and start working with. Probably have to purchase a license if you plan on releasing a commercial product, or there might be a royalty system in place. Unity seems pretty versatile.

What you really need is a market though. Not that many folk interested in buying it.

Mixing Silent hunter 5 graphics with Battlestations gameplay would be pretty awesome.


I think I found a good engine. The question is Are people interested in making it?

If yes I can do the forums. I think we can sell it because the company that makes these games closed.

I'll almost certainly wager that even if the developers and publishers folded that the rights would've been snapped up by another company for a nominal fee, a legal paper-chase ensues. Use an engine, design your game, but call it something else and don't copy too closely is my advice.

I will see what I can call it but I cant do it and you guys can. if we get enough people on it we might have a chance. there are other people from other sites willing to help.

I know a lot about ships/submarines/planes and i can help alot i read a lot of documentaries about this subject! I can also give ideas. i have plenty of them and i can work on the forum. That's all i can do.

Indeed. Besides that, aparently the Battlestations concept didn't do that well. Personally I still regret paying 5 euros for Midway. Prolly a good idea to come up with a better one.

The devs didnt do such a good job with that game but now that we are making it we can do it as we like and make it either for sale or a free 2 play ofcourse with a different name.

So what do you say?

I say you need a more solid proof of concept than;
