Developing a Battleship simulator

Lord_magerius · 09-06-13, 04:33 AM

I'm envisioning some sort of free roam as in Ship Simulator on some of the larger vessels. A selection of cameras and stations for when you're busy doing stuff but a free roam for when it's all quiet and you want to take in a bit of eye candy etc...

Mate you have pretty much hit the nail on teh head with that one.

I was watchintg a bit of you tube last night on Carrier task force's

The Computer generated Nimitz Class Carrier looked really good, also they showed us how the USS George Bush was built in modula form

This gave me and idea, why the hell cant we build a compartment one by one then put em all together when finished.

I hope to here back in a week or two to see if this thing is gonna get off the ground finger crossed.

Any how guys fingers crossed . Also being thinking about if my backer does not come through maybe kickstarter and let the world deciced.

But if any of you guy have any ideas or suggestions please put them down..as knowlage is power

S!

Hi guys,

Back again, just an update to let you know were I am at.

I have just got a hold of some cool 3D models of Yamato and Bismarck. These will be used in my presentation to my backers.

I intend to make a tailer showing the Bismarck coming out of the fog (well my prospective backer is German after all) with the camera view flying down the length of the ship. Then that oh so cool shot of the front of the ship which gives you the scene of power these things had.

Also I have nearly finished a proto type of the box artwork, So when that’s done I will post it for you all to have a look and comment at.

Regards

Ok i have got some stuff to show you..

Box art, and a shot of a ship in a programme to make a promo vid..which is very WIP still working the ins and outs of the programme and the ship is not the one i will be using.. But it gives you a idea on what i am trying to do.

So Now you can see the Name "Capital Ships"

What Ya Think?

Hmm seems not to many people keen on my idea

Well at least the kIWI'S can give it to the Yanks in a yacht race..

Go Team New Zealand lets bring the cup home To Auckland and show the world that a little country down in the bottom of the world can shove it up the big spenders and show offs that is Oracle

they dont even want to race us after we kicked there butt on race 5..

Go the Kiwi's

I´m here and i'm worth 100 ppl.

Some years ago tried to do the same... but i lack suficient knowledge to do it.

So, what kind of game mechanics do you have in mind for:

-Damage
-Damage control
-Ship physics
-Ballistics

In my opinion free roaming should be substituted with a TRUE dynamic campaign, something like the old Red Storm Rising sub game, where missions were generated according to the ground war evolution.

Hi Red,

Thanks for the post

To be honest I have not had that conversation yet need to get the funding so I can hire someone with that type nouse.

I hope to employ around 3-4 good PC people,

Once we have that then the road plane will be laid down , the web site will go up and BOOM! away we go!

I will post another pic just to get the juices flowing

This is not my ship its a screenshot of the Mighty MO from a cool s/saver.

But this is the look I am going for.
