Greetings SubSimmers!
For the past few months I've been working on a sequel to Crash Dive (something I've been wanting to do for years).
It will still be WWII, but this time in the South Pacific, with the player in command of a U.S. Navy Gato-class submarine. The core gameplay will be very similar to Crash Dive, but with significant improvements.
Below is a partial wish-list of new/upgraded features; some of these are done, some are in progress, and some I have no idea how to accomplish yet:
- Crew management/assignment
- Story/campaign mode
- Detailed damage control
- O2
- SJ Radar
- Land masses
- Ocean floor/bottoming
- Ships/sub can run aground
- Armed cargo ships
- Enemy torpedoes
- Enemy aircraft
- More realistic ship movement
- Better enemy AI
- Better ship-to-ship collisions
- Notification history
- Weather (clouds, fog, rain, lightning)
- Time of day (sun/moon cycle)
- Crew spotting when surfaced
- Navigational waypoints
- Upgrading of sub (tech tree)
If you have suggestions/additions/feedback on this list, sound off and let me know! I'm also going to have questions that this community is uniquely suited to answer, so I'll be posting those in this forum.
Thanks!
