New Game

I am going to become a game programmer, and i will eventually want to make my own games. I want my first games to be a sub game. But i don't know, should it be based on The Hunt For Red October, K-19 (not the movie), or should it be like starts off modern day and then a time portal opens and the sub gets transported back to 1939? Help me out, give me some ideas. We have creative modders here i am sure you guys will have a good idea.

Wonder when some programmers and modders would create some kind of Destroyer game like the old Destroyer Command, but made like SH3 or SH5

The marked for Subgames must be overfilled by now or?.

I have since the day of SH3 dreamed about a DC2. With same graphics and game engine(or what they call it) like SH3 or SH5.

Well maybe the day I win big time in Euromillion I can get such a game.(Got the money to rent some game developer etc)

Have you considered the first world war or the cold war period?

I cannot agree more.

I do really miss the multiplayer battles with Destroyer Command and Silent Hunter human controlled boats.

I am dreaming to have again a new game featuring such possiblilty

A Turtle or Hunley sim would be a good little starting place. Keep seeing the intro for TurN with the Turtle, might be fun for a first time effort.

Only non-claustrophobics need apply! At least he got the terminology right if not his 'screw principle'! First use of the word 'torpedo' as still used today.http://www.history.navy.mil/library/online/sub_turtle.htm

I would prefer a misc from SH3, Dangerous Water, Sub Command and Destroyer Command. Either in the time of WW2 or the Cold War. In multiplayer the gamers should be able to share the control of one vessel or control it alone. That would be great.
