I work swing shift. I typically don't go to bed tell 2AM.

1:36 CST here in Lone Star territory, maybe working on further ideas for TMO?

I do have an idea, but not for TMO per say. Im just sitting here mulling it over. Idea is basically to make a new mod, that focuses on just ONE boat, using TMO as a base. That one boat, ive just decided (should i do this), would be the USS Tautog. It was there at pearl, did 13 war patrols until she was retired, and was the highest scoring boat in number of sinkings in the war. Doing this would require alot of scripting of missions. Not sure if people would like a scripted campaign or not.

Don't forget to take time to enjoy your work.

Honestly, i can't play for very long before i'm either bored, or find something i dislike. I seriously haven't played SH4 like a normal player in a year or two.

Edit: Having asked that I am curious. What is the one thing you would create for your mod (your highest priority). Regardless of game engine limitation that is.

If i had the ability? A full interior, and a more interactive and life like crew. I've got this crazy notion in my head that more interaction would bring to the game a level of immersion that *I* need to be engrossed in the game. From my perspective, ive been playing these sub sim's since 2005 and SH3. The routine is always the same. Find, chase, sink, evade, regardless of boat, or what side of the war you play on. So I guess im needing more detail, more "you are there" type of experience. I wish i could bring what SH5 does, into SH4. Sadly thats not within my ability, though i do what i can.

You mentioned a while back that there were things you wanted done.

Yeah, im at a point where there's not too much more i'm willing to do. Long term i was thinking about mounting a couple Ma dueces on the conning towers and slapping a flag on the flag pole. Import some german stuff from the Nine Delta Two mod i was working on, get it made into an installer (i got an offer to have one made), and call it good. But seriously? All that is fluff. If captain America never comes back with his interior work, i don't see myself doing much more. So for now, i'm going to let TMO 2.1 ride how it is. If i see feedback on the planes and damage model, i might update the patch, but baring that, odds are ill get lazy, combine 2.0 and the 2.1 update into a FULL package, upload it, forget it existed and move on to something else in life.
