About the game
Silent Depth is a mobile 3d submarine simulation game in development. Mobile means it will be available for smartphones and tablets on almost all platforms like Android, iPhone/iPad and Windows Phone 8.
You are the captain of a US Balao Class Submarine in World War II and are positioned in the Pacific. Your base harbor is Midway where you repair and equip your submarine with torpedos, ammunition and fuel. (screenshot taken from Samsung S3) There will be a free patrol mode where you just drive around and attack japanese ships. That way you select your route on a map and as soon as you spot something (or get spotted!) the game switches back to 3d mode where you can attack (either with torpedos or your gun) or try to escape. Missions will be available as well of course and a career mode. You will get awards and medals. Even though it is a single player game some kind of an online highscore list is planned. Part of the game are realistic day/night cycles and real waves for instance. It won't be an arcade game, neither a hardcore sim (even though it will be as realistic as possible!) which would be just too much for smartphones/tablets. Just take a look a the screenshots and some of the ingame videos. You can follow us at Facebook as well to be up to date and discuss it there or in our forums here. We're interested in all kinds of criticism and suggestions! Planned features
Feel free to ask any questions, we will build up some kind of a F.A.Q. to answer all those! Thanks for reading! Last edited by Xaron; 11-22-13 at 03:53 PM. |

Free patrol mode. 3-D game mode. Sounds like it owes a bit to Silent Service, but with decades of improvement. I like that.

Thanks guys!
Doing a smartphone/tablet sim won't stop us from releasing a PC/Mac version of course! But it won't be that heavy as Silent Hunter. |

Sounds promising!
Now if we could get a TF1942 / Pacific Air War game in the works I would be super happy... |

Silent Hunter 2 was my favorite game of all time, I like its gameplay and the way it works all around, I think that's the best sub sim ever, and due to the way it was built would be perfect for a touch screen, I would most definitely pay for it and Im not talking like 1 or 2 dollars I would pay $20 for it if I can put it on my smart phone or tablet.
So if you can make it somewhere or something like that then I'll be your first customer. The best way to market this game would be to allow it to be downloaded for free and then you charge people for other features such as campaigns, missions, different submarines and multiplayer ability and have them available for purchase in the app stores. If you decide to do multiplayer I don't think the peer to peer Microsoft thing is going to work like it did in SH2 because these are wireless network devices, the best route would be to have a dedicated Linux & Windows server that's available for download for anyone.
