Hello everybody and welcome to the Silent Hunter 5 forums!

I am GKane, the Community Developer for Silent Hunter 5, and I will be one of the links you guys will have with the people developing the game. I am sure that with the recent announcement we have made, you guys must have a lot questions.

He posted pretty regularly until the game came out, at which point he disappeared. He posted the day one patch notes, the linked patch note above, edited it to say it would be late and pimped one of stabiz' videos. That's it. He's never said anything else about Silent Hunter since release, hasn't tweeted nor updated their forums or Facebook page. I'm assuming he was fired.


* - that post was edited by GKane on April 12th to say the patch would take another week (the yellow Update edit at the end there). It was than edited on the 21st to reflect it's current title with no ETA and finally closed on May 6th when the latest patch thread was opened by the forum manager, not GKane.
