CALLING ALL SUBSIMMERS CHECK OUT Danger From The Deep

[artao]

Danger From the Deep is one game where we can't just look at what's going on with it and complain about it ... we can actually chip in and fix it ourselves, the way 'we' want it.

The game IS still early, and development may be slow, but that can be rectified by inputting more assistance. For instance, the 'it wont run under win' issue ... they don't HAVE a windows developer, from what they've told me. If someone were to jump into that gap, who could fix this win issue (which seems to be related to Open GL and the GLSL Shaders version, worse for older cards like mine) that would probably go a long way to speeding up development. Programming, graphics, models, campaign, etc ... ... the modder community here has shown what we're capable of, why not apply that to DftD??
As I personally can't get the game to run either (older card) and don't have the skills to MAKE it run myself, I can't as yet contribute meaningfully except thru encouraging others to check it out and help if they can. However, once I CAN get it running, I'm there in whatever arena I can ... 3D models, textures ... 2D graphics ... whatever ...
... sorry if I ramble, but this game excites me .... actual control of the DIVE PLANES!! AND BALLAST VALVES!! lots of options we'd all like to see are in there as far as the realism goes .... i'll shut up now, sorry

Well, a programmer is not a modder. Modders don't usually do programming works (specially because they can't in absence of the original source code), I've always understood modding as changing models, sounds, graphics, creating missions, campaigns... at least in the case of SH. And it's not like programmers grow on trees, or else we'd have our own sim already.

Cheers

programmers are the most important

they don't have a windows programmer???

Modding is anything that changes the original game, hence the nickname 'modder' as in 'modifier' of something.

Some of the screens in the Gallery give me a strong Vintage feel. Like Aces of the Deep.

Simply cool!

whole-heartedly I would like to support this sim.
if only I had some spare time and the knowledge of programming.
but I will contact the team, maybe they know what one could be useful to.
