Freeware subsim

Subwolf · 11-23-06, 09:27 AM

There was a thread here a while ago about a freeware subsim under development, but there is a beta release. The screenshots are amazing, the sim quality is maybe even better than SH3.

Problem is I can't find the thread or link, anyone got this link or knows more about it?

Here it is:

It certainly looks promising!

Haven't tried it myself - still learing SH3 - let us know how you get on with it.

Was it possibly GWX ?

Thanks

I can't believe this is freeware, look at those beautiful ship models, details, gauges and so on!

Actually it's much more than just "freeware", it's open source/free software. That means all code source, graphics, sound, etc... are publicly accessible and modifiable. It enables any developer/modder to change anything in the game! No more limitation, the possibilities are endless.
Let's hope it will grow and mature to become the reference in sub sim.

The screens look really good. Looks like a very good piece of work. Worth keeping an eye on me thinks.

When this project is finally finished it's gonna be better than even SH3 with GWX, I think..

(quickly puts on my helmet just in case)

You better do that! I'll come after you myself!

Well, I would love to try it before judging it. Many good looking games are utter crap. More and more, actually.

kiwi_2005 · 11-23-06, 04:00 PM

WOW! Take a look in the gallery, this game looks good!

I see in the DL section their already is a DL is this a demo or the full? Has anyone DL & tried it.

Subwolf · 11-23-06, 04:15 PM

Main page got a list of whats included in the download, the game is far from finished. I think the DL only got one mission, but as you can see they plan to include a career mode, very important, and lots of other stuff.

I think this is gonna be the future ultimate subsim when it's ready for the final release in 2008

And this looks good too........ " The final version will include network play and wolfpack or destroyer vs. submarine matches".

As has been said already, this looks promising and I have to agree with Subwolf. It might even surpass SH4 too. But, we'll have to wait and see as 2008 is a ways off. The graphics look great for the last gallery added. Meanwhile I'll stick with SHIII and the mods.

If the modders here ever go over to "Danger from the Deep", I'm sure they'll be greatly appreciated for the help and knowlege they could supply.

Just tested it, have some potential, oh yes. But there is still much missing. Not as user friendly as shiii, but it got that red triangle.....

bookworm_020 · 11-23-06, 05:30 PM

It's got CAM ships!!! I'm Downloading it now, I tell you what I think of it Monday.
