Little things like turning the handle to open and shut the hatch cover . Just small things combined would make the game more fun imo . The sub crowded with movable objects like food boxes etc . Watch Das Boot again

A sub sim is what you want but it has to have some atmosphere to it . Watch Das Boot again .

Hey guys,

just wondering if it's possible for us to contribute to the game in more ways then donations? Such as assets and voices and what not.

Hi guys,

I just started playing with the demo, and have to say, I'm very impressed !

I have "dabbled" with Unity in the past, but have never produced anything as "slick" as the current demo

Some q's & comments :

1) It would be helpful if a note was added to the download page for the demo or (better yet a README) briefly summarizing what is working / not in the demo.

2)I.e. is the radio direction finder working ?
When I rotate the "bearing indicator" of the "RDF" to match what I'm hearing on the sonar, the radio transmissions are not getting "silenced"

3) Periscope - Are there plans to add bearing indicators "inside" the periscope "view". I.e, a "bearing ring"

It's a bit cumbersome now to have to keep RMB "exiting" the periscope view to see what bearing the periscope is aimed at

4) Map
A "zoom reset (to max-zoom-out)" key / mouse click-combo would be handy.

A "center-on-ship" key (i.e. if map has been panned away from the ship)

5) Speed indicator / direction indicator :
I see there is a direction indicator on both the front and back of the ship.

It would be useful to add a speed indicator near the back-direction indicator.

It would useful to have the speed indicator also visible near the periscope's current bearing indicator

Great work !, Keep it up !

Mike

I think the A.I. detection abilities in the demo are a bit "off".

On surfacing the ship from periscope depth, it takes ~10 seconds for the sub to be destroyed, presumably from an incoming destroyer shell?

Maybe i am too late to make a comment, but if not, then in the spirit of the movie das boot, there was a scene where two uboats in the storm was on the surface, and had to resort to morse code communications from the bridge, with a spot light. No big deal, but might be a nice touch. It is not like I want to learn morse code, but in the multi-player version where other submarines are on the hunt, and the tacticle situation requires radio use restriction, you could still communicate. Not an essential, but just a little thing, that might appeal to some.

This feature is under development but it won't be implemented until after the early access release.

Was there or will there be a Kickstarter campaign for Wolfpack?

Hello! There won't be a Kickstarter campaign for Wolfpack, instead we're releasing it on Steam's Early Access. The community can support the project by buying the game while it's still under development. Steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/490920/Wolfpack/
