Hey all,
So, I wish this topic was to announce the creation of such a game, but alas, my programming skills simply don't exist. That said, I've recently been reading at least two series that are, at least in part, about naval warfare of one kind or another. For anyone curious, said series are David Weber's Safehold series, and Taylor Anderson's Destroyermen series. Anyways, I've been absolutely fascinated by how naval battles work, and also about the ships discussed in the books... And while looking up various ship classes on YouTube, it occurred to me how amazing it would be if we had an audiogame focusing on that sort of thing. Yes, I know, Lone Wolf is still out there, and that's a great concept, old as it is. That said, it could be taken so much farther! One could play a campaign mode that takes you through commanding various different kinds of vessels, from different destroyers, to subs, to aircraft carriers! There could be a first-person pilot perspective, or a realtime based captain-like interface where you issue different orders to different members of your crew. There could be weather, all sorts of enemies, varying sea features... Heck, perhaps even a ship and mission creator for online play and such!
I would totally pay for such a game, and believe it would provide hours and hours of fun! Any of our various developers out there interested in such a project? I'd be totally willing to sharpen up my sadly neglected sound design chops for this!
