Because there are no naval sim games in development...

SCS has nothing in the pipeline for the general public as far as we know.
Ubi has got nothing official in the works.

that leaves what?

Akell and their 2nd PT boat game?
Todem Games next Ironclads if any?
VSTEP and Ship Simulator?
Ilan Papini's Virtual Sailor?
Mike Hense and Dr. Sid?

No real hard hitters on that list


... if only I remembered some of that C++ they tried to teach me in school...

what about the battlestations series? (sure its not exactly a sim, but i enjoyed it)

Anyways, you do have some good 3d modeling skills, and i'll probably buy "TLAM Strike's Modern Submarine Warfare"
just use the engine for Danger from the Deep

oddly, simulation sales in china are increasing, though the only type of sim that is gaining in popularity is the "H-game"

I can't say I have not been tempted... Unfortunately there is a big empty spot in my brain that use to have info on BASIC, C++ and Visual BASIC. I think I store Pizza recipes there or something now...

Page 7 was the most interesting reading.

Back to the topic, I think this project has quite a lot of ambition:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dangerdeep/
(I have a feeling that one of us is behind this project)
It has all the basics, i guess maybe if we find some dedicated modders, give us some time, and we can actually create a top quality game
