Silent Hunter IV Dev Diary

Subsim Monitor · 10-20-06, 11:22 AM

I think the link was broke, looks like Gizz fixed it

Safe-Keeper · 10-20-06, 11:54 AM

It's awesome, promising, and authentic. And I haven't even downloaded it yet

!

Edit 5 mins later:
WOW! Interior shot, and a sunset shot with beautiful waves (stand by for concept art vs. real screenshot-debate

).

Nice, nice, nice. And if you watch the dev diary, it seems your sub's finally getting a search-light, too.

Good stuff. I like the idea of the Dev diary.

Jimbuna · 10-20-06, 12:51 PM

That was fantastic....can't wait for the next episode

Sir Big Jugs · 10-20-06, 01:32 PM

Unbelievable!

I am sooo looking forward to SH 4

Safe-Keeper · 10-20-06, 02:05 PM

That officer looks so cool, if not a tad bit overweight. Note how the gauges have no needles; they're probably a work-in-progress.

Looking forward to the details on scenery.

He's not an officer, just a common sailor, and I don't think he looks overweight at all; his clothes are just a little baggy, which is not uncommon. The pants are 'stovepipes' designed to be pulled on while already wearing shoes. I think he's perfect.

But then, I'm biased.

[edit] On second thought, compaired to my own picture, he does look a little heavy.

I believe the search light will not be static. What good is a search light if you cannot search with it? You have to admit, if they did make it usable it would be a neat feature. Anyway, it looks like a winner of a sim already. I cannot wait.

Is that a New Mexico class BB I see in the first screenshot?

Not my first choice for a US battleship, but I won't complain.

Driftwood · 10-20-06, 04:35 PM

HOT DAMN!

Safe-Keeper · 10-20-06, 04:54 PM

Let's hope the search-light is operable. Surely it shouldn't be that hard to implement when AI ships have them already?

It'd open for morse code communication with other ships, too.

As for the obese officer, I actually like that. Adds to variation and immersion (not all submariners had been photo-models in their past occupation:p).
