Hi guys,

I just want some indication before I but this product to make sure it can do what I need.

I want to make a 3d first person submarine game (I wrote this game before in C++ but my DIY engine was not the best)

The tricky parts are:
Limited underwater visability
Underwater vehicle physics (very important for this game)
A rotating 2D tactical map with icons
A tactical HUD
Weapons with AI (like homing torpedoes)

Can I do this with this package?

Thanks for reading this guys and any help would be appreciated.
A custom a system for underwater sonar detection

Its all possible.
You just need to write your own code for
game-logic elements (AI, 2D rotating map etc.)

If you plan a multiplayer game, you should read the
topics/limits on that issue.
For a singleplayer game its all implementable without a problem.

Thanks for the quick reply Damocles. I'll download the trial version and mess around.

Multiplayer would be nice but I really just want to pump out a functional and fun game.

based on what you wrote i'd say its very possible, just spend time and develop a suitable development method for handling your levels and such, as for underwater physics? should be easy enough with some work, the 3dgs physics engine can handle a good amount of vehicle types, when it comes to stable wheel vehicles, that when it becomes trouble some and there are several post processing shaders to achieve the under water look

good luck

Thanks Darkinferno - I've downloaded a trial copy and started learning the scripting language. Once I've ploughed through the tutorials I'll start development. So far it looks capable and the graphics are reasonable (certainly better than anything I could code myself!)
