Sots is a new project to create a submarine simulator with a focus on coop multi player. The project is really just getting started

. Some info about what it will be in point form as i to lazy to write a real deep

article about it all.

Basic

Name of the game is Songs of the Sea, short name is Sots.
The games focus is on multi player coop play with all the players in the same group (wolfpack) of submarines.
The ways to play is single battle or a campaign
Battles is what you think and nothing special about them.

Technical

Engine for the game will be Unity.
The game code itself will be done in C#.
The game part will be put on Sots Bitbucket homepage.
For task tracking I will use pivotal tracker. Feel free to spy on it to see progress or lack off.
I'm not that sharp at making models, sounds or submarine history so i hope to get some help from all the captains here .

Campaign Setup

Campaign takes place on a world map that simulates the state of the world.
To play a campaign one selects two things, the Year and the Nation to play.
Year is selected from 1914 to 2014.
The game contains a History Timeline (HT) that updates the world as the game progress.
The HT change such as things what Nations can be played, what the enemies are, rules of engagement, the technology available and so on.
If you play a Nation that stops having Submarines (such as Germany in 1945) the game is over.

Campaign Play

When playing more then one player one of the player is given the title Admiral (ADM). The players can change who is the admiral at any time.
The admiral is the one who moves around the whole wolfpack on the game map and can change the game speed to speed up time.
The map contains a number of home bases for submarines and they are the ones where the patrols start and end.
The admiral can choose to rebase the wolfpack to another base.
Each time the wolfpack leaves and returns to port is called a patrol.
Before each patrol the admiral can pick the mission for the patrol. What they are depends on the year and nation.

Fame

As the player complete mission and sinks ships he gets Fame.
Fame can be used to upgrade your submarine equipment, crew or to call in favours other combat units (like requesting airsupport in a mission).
It is also possible to use your fame to upgrade another player submarine in your wolfpack.
Fame is lost if you make misstakes like sinking neutral ships.
Some missions will cost fame to get.
