Well as a lot of you may know,i have been working hard on a trucking simulator.Well recently i got into boats and decided it was time for me to make something mind blowing in unity!In this thread i will be show casing all the work on my boat simulator.The boat is fully functional.The sliders in the top left are sliders for forward thrust,and backward thrust!
More pictures will be coming soon.Oh please note these shot have not been edited in anyway,and are right out of the unity build.
Does the boat have single center of gravity that the water impacts or does your simulation provide multiple points under the hull?
single center of gravity.I’m working on making the water move to the boat pushing through it but thats a little tricky.
Here is the script i used to control the boat.I have made my own edits to the script to perform to my likings but its a very stable script.
Thanks for that, I might need that script later.
Thought about making a ship builder game? Would be fun to create your own ships.
You know.I have no idea where this game will go.It can go as far as funding allows me to go with it.I love working on projects but donations are welcomed http://xtrmgames.com/ .I think im gonna get the simulation dead on.Then figure out a player getting in and out of boat(amazingly with my coding knowledge i have huge problems with the paths),and then who knows where it will go.
Well, if you are looking for ideas, a Search and Rescue sim would be a lot of fun and there hasn’t been a good one for ages. Bonus points if you added helicopters and multiplayer.
How about,
Thats a good idea now to only put it to work.To do this donations are needed.Because all the money we have right now in the bank has to go to our trucking simulator no doubt. www.xtrmgames.com to donate
Looks nice, good luck with it 
But why do you need funding and donations to do something like what mgear and others suggested? Scripting and modelling is free 
I’m not the only one working for this company and the other members at the company are expected to get paid with donations for the project they are working on,until we start getting a steady flow of money coming in.Its just the way it is.
The project will go on but see it will just be me working on it.I cant expect to ask the other members to do something and then not pay them for it so any work that happens on the game will be by me.Now im not saying i have to have funding but the more funding the faster it gets done because i will be able to bring more members in on it.
But it will go on!
I am working on a similar project to make up for some of the shortcomings of the currently available game-based ship simulators. In fact, I am using the same ship model, though I have several other hulls in various stages of modeling. I also don’t know where my project is going to lead, but I do know that I would like to make initial versions of the software freely available as a web player to generate interest.
I would be interested in communicating with you about this project or possible collaboration in the future. My skillset is primarily as a mariner, but I have acquired quite a few other skills to make my project happen (Blender, Unity).
PM me if this interests you.
Oh, I didn’t know you had a company. Thought you were an indie developer, so couldn’t figure out why you would need funding since all those things aren’t that really hard to do
Good luck for you and your company though
