A new Submarine & Battleship Arcade/Sim is in development... And I'm leading the team

Hey there Everyone.

I just wanted to come in and introduce myself before i got into anything heavy.

I'm Phil and I run a new start up games studio in the North East of the UK called "Game Tonic Interactive".
We've been around for about 4 or 5 months now and we've released one mobile game (which took about 9 weeks to develop) and then worked on smaller client projects.

About 3 or 4 weeks ago, i was approached by a gentleman who wanted us to recreate or reimagine an older game from the mid-90's and since then we've been working towards that goal.
The game currently is very much in that transition stage between Concept, Tech Demo & Pre-Alpha. We've got an interesting internal demo that we were playing around with last week and we're aiming to go public with it fully in early January.

Basically what i'm doing it now is just making you all aware of the project, Game Tonic & myself as ultimately we're making it for you so we want maximum community input and support.

If you'd like to stay up to date with the official news about the project then Game Tonic's Facebook Page is the place to go.

As for anything else i'm happy to chat on here

Cheers
WolfMaskMan (Phil)

Welcome aboard!

First questions: On what platforms this game will be available? Is it mobile or PC? If PC then how moddable it will be?

Main platform is PC
We're very possibly looking at becoming at being an Xbox One developer, it purely depends on how expensive that will be.

As for modability, its on the cards as players will be hosting their own servers, so mods to that (so long as each player joining has the mod installed) shouldn't be too big of an issue
