Why are WWII subsims popular and modern subsims not?

By the way, is still somebody in contact with Sonalysts?
Do they still have an employee who is in charge of keeping contact with the community? Just being curious.

They did, now they don't. They dropped the support completely.

Well, not completely. I just assumed you all were getting tired of me saying "I don't have any new information for you" over and over.

BTW, I don't have any new information for you... (grin)

Email to "computergames(at sign)sonalysts.com" to get tech support if you need it. (not a link for spam reduction)

I'm a subsim community member (I play DW and SH4) so I'm in and out on an irregular basis. I worked on a VERY intensive non-DW project all fall and winter, and didn't have any time either at work or home to do much gaming. That's the main reason I've been scarce for a long time.

2 years - whether not too long term for absence?

You rave - there is no support

Nice to hear from you again. Is the non-DW project a commercial or govt/mil project?

Commercial. We're still working on making money in the non-simulation market. (sigh)

Non-Commercial DW continues to do very well; we haven't been able to parlay that into any news on the commercial front, unfortunately.

If you have informed a source of a code - we could reanimate this sim.
Or SCS will carry away it with itself in a tomb.?

By the way - how much man is real in SCS?

2 or 3 man now ? :-)

I am realized I share Sonalysts from SCS.

FIREWALL · 03-12-10, 02:20 PM

I would like to see DW in a SH3 or 4 (not5) format .

I might and probably useing the wrong word.

But if it was like them I'd buy it in a minute.

btw I have DW

and try to play it occasionally.

SCS is still developing and using the Non-Commercial DW; unfortunately, that means we can't go open source on the commercial version.

Sonalysts as a company is very busy, and we work on lots of things besides games. (which is a good thing for our continued employment...) (grin)

I'll try to check in more often than every two years from now on. (crosses fingers...)

Nice to here from you again, Roger

.

Did you already evaluate if you could try a similar approach like Harpoon 3 or Steel Beasts?

So, you would have a basic codeline for both versions and the non-commerical one gets all the secret stuff

, consoles + integration tools on top?

And just distributing the commerical one via download to minimize costs?

I don't know for sure but I have the impression that the combined number of sold copies of Harpoon 3 / Steel Beasts are not higher than DW...rather lower since they haven't been actively advertised...
