First Released Video

This is a short video (or should I say trailer). Please don't judge it as a trailer or the vid, but on the graphics, and how it looks. Thus it's in the Graphics Showcase.

I was pursuaded to make it more of a trailer in IRC than a technical video showing what all I have done in order to get more interest, so hopefully it worked!

"Brace for comments herr commadore!"

Looks good. Reminds me of Reds (Mike Hense) sub sims.

Graphics are better than I could do and it seems well put together.

:)

Iron Coffins? To me this name implies you're going to die in your submarine... Anyway besides that... :)

You said to judge your game on the graphics.

They're ok, outside shots - sky is quite nice but the water needs a bit of work. It just looks a bit grey. Give the sea some colour. and perhaps more detail (white water ripples) - it just seems a bit flat.

Inside shots - you could really benefit from some proper lighting, i.e. using lightmaps. I highly recommend buying Gile[s] for this, it's a really good tool (not just for lighting, but also for bringing together all your models into one scene).

Thanks for the comments..

I got Gile[s] and your right Caffy. I haven't finished the whole interior of the U-boat, but as soon as I will then I will lightmap it.

I do have a new screenshot. On a different forum they were asking for some different shots that I didn't include in the movie, so here's something.



Thanks,
Chad
