CALLING ALL SUBSIMMERS CHECK OUT Danger From The Deep

[rascal101]

AMASING JUST WHEN I'D ABANDONED ALL HOPE SEEMS THERE IS A PROJECT UNDERWAY TO BUILD A REAL SUB SIM -

OK THE GRAPHICS MAY NOT BE UP TO WHAT WERE SEEING ON THE SH 5 PROMOS BUT THEN ITS STILL UNDER DEVELOPMENT

wE SHOULD SPREAD THE WORK FOR FOLKS WHO CAN HELP OUT IN ANY WAY TO GET THIS PROJECT UNDER WAY

Heh, and it's already in alpha!

http://dangerdeep.sourceforge.net/about/

This game is planned as tactical simulation and will be as realistic as our time and knowledge of physics allows.

To all those claiming that realism is more important to them than eye candy:
Seeya!

Danger From The Deep has been in development for several years now. It's a great idea, but it shows just how long it really takes to write code for and to fully develop a good sub sim.

If it gets completed at all, it would be years down the line.

Actually, it shows how much it can take to complete an independent spare-time project (i.e., developed by unassociated people whenever work or school allows them to, which is usually not very often). An independent, fully commited, development team, would probably archive it faster with a solid development basis. I've been in a team of the previous (spare-time one), and development has been going on for 3-4 years now, though the graphics engine is quite advanced, and after all, game logic is the simplest of all things. And then there's also game content (graphics, models, and sounds), which can actually take longer than game logic programming itself.

PS.: Could we have these threads unified, it's complicated to keep track of them separately.

Cheers.

I totally agree with that.

Can be a minor issue, as Vista and Win7 both have the ability to run an executable in WinXP compatability mode. These type of projects need to be nurtured by the community, much as Free Falcon rewrote and completed Falcon 4.0 and Falcon AF to be an awesome sim for the stovepipe crowd. It takes a lot of time but it is well worth it.

I think that the time in which we gave so much attention and shouting all our frustration regarding SH5 would have been better used just supporting Danger From The Deep. It's a very clean project, not a 120% corporatist one.

I am sure the Danger From The Deep, and the Akella guys are rubbing their hands together with joy at seeing Ubi's stupid mov.

In helping develop a new game would be a great opportunity for modders to learn new stuff. With a large community backing such a project would also be great for the indies.
