Any news from the developers

[Arclight]

And I'm confused; is the engine an overhaul or new build?

I assumed new build to be honest. Nothing wrong with using previous content, but that engine really gave us grey hairs (I imagine the same can be said for the devs).

I hope it isnt gonna just be an upgrade like Sh3 to sh4... we all know how that went...

[JU_88]

You lot worry too much
Sh4 was build on top of SH3 -and SH3 was built on top of nothing - did you worry about that?

You want whole new engine or something? - how long do think that takes (not to mention costs)?

Make it three.

Aaaand here is the reason why most games nowadays just plain suck. Old engine is still old engine and go only go so far.

Thanks for the info. If you'd like feedback on misc trouble items or erratic behavior in SH4; id be more then happy to provide if it would be any help to your development.

Also, don't forget that there is a new First Person Camera and a live crew that require a great effort and have many implications in all areas of the game (that you'll see when playing). Yet, we're trying to make the game as moddable as possible so you can customize it as you like it and enjoy it even more .

The game is not completed, not even the design. Your requests are added to the list (which is sorted by relevancy and the effort to implement).

So we hope we are all going to spend the days and the nights playing Silent Hunter 5.

That is good to know maerean and really appreciated

Hell - why not!

Though I just read that all 5 of the S-1 lend lease boats were used as Anti Submarine training vessles by the RN
My dreams of historically using one to hunt Axis ships in the ATO have been ruined.

There's always Gato's, though the role they played in the atlantic was very minor.

Cool, less bugs to stomp and more time to develop new content.
