    Bluebyte is gaming-company located in germany. And yes the adresses shown above seem to be the contacts for suggestions or more specific to hand in game concepts and stuff.
    I think DG or the devs. should comment on if this is an option.
    But to relativate the chances I must say I've doubts that Bluebyte is financially capable realizing such project.
    They've already released a sub-sim based on a Privateer-like concept, but I think their reputation and circle of action is limited to europe (you guys overseas correct me if I am wrong eh?).

    Bluebyte is the publisher of the Settlers-series, right?

    Didn't they do Archemedian (sp) Dynasty? If so, I'd love to see these guys put out ITF. I was very much influenced by their game in the early design stages of our game. It's a kick-ass under water sim with great "flight" characteristics, which include the effect of currents.

    I pushed the parameters of that game to find out what it could do and found out that you can disregard the missions and just simply take off and go exploring. Very cool. And if you happen into enemy territory their ships, tanks, turrets, etc. will attack – without the need of a mission. And speaking of NPC’s, they were smart!

    This was a first-person sim in terms of the missions themselves, with adventure game, or RPG game moments in-between in which you could interact with characters to try and unravel the story and also to find ways to get your next job. These moments used branching dialogue trees. If you choose the wrong question or reply, you can not only lose an opportunity for a job, but make enemies as well. Speaking of story, the game came with an outrageous book that details the backstory and all of the various factions that inhabit the sea – the only place left on Earth where there’s life. The various factions have detailed backgrounds, including their goals and methods.

    There’s an exceptional module in the game that you use to outfit your ship. It’s so cool that you just want to play with this module instead of getting back to the game.

    The underwater graphics were very cool, but the adventure game parts were very simple graphically. Didn't bother me though. Their game should have done very, very well. But instead, because they didn't have strong distribution, it didn't. I loved it. Must have spent weeks of hours playing it.

    I emailed the guy who's trying to put something together for us to tell him about this idea.

    I agree Randy, it was a great game. It had a nice learning curve, not too hard, not too easy. I managed to get to the Gibralter pirate base before I got killed. Even the cutscenes were beautiful without being overlong. When watching those cutscenes I got the impression that this was what Seasquest DSV SHOULD have been like. Apparently Blue Byte are doing a sequel if youre interested Randy, but I cant remember the name off hand. If I see any details about it I'll tell you.
    The idea of drifting with the currents was good, those missions where you had to be stealthy. There was an unusual music track as well, and as you said the background given out by the book was worth reading in its own right, even though there was very little present in the game. The opening sequence I thought was very impressive, beating some of the top companies around at the time. It's now available in budget.

    ...went over to Bluebyte there's no other way to contact as shown above and I think I am not the right representative.

    If there has been some other contact adress for suggestions of costumers I could have tried to investigate if there would be interest.

    I'll try their forum next!

    Wow! This sounds promising. I've never heard of Bluebyte though, well I don't think so. Doesn't ring a bell here in the UK anyway.

    Fingers crossed! And I'm looking for as many 4 leafed shamrocks and clovers as I can find....

    Archemedian Dynasty is truly a great game. The subs handle really well, and the storyline is great. And the graphics are as good as you might expect, given it's age. Plus the music was cool.

    The sequel to it is being called Aqua, and you're "Deadeye" Flint again, this time fighting a biological menace....

    It's would be cool of BlueByte could do B5:ITF, but they ARE mainly European in their reach....

    Yes,

    I loved this game too. Here in Germany it's named:

    Schleichfahrt

    Dawn Falcon go to the Internetadress BlueByte.de or read the first replay and you will find out, that Blue Byte reaches North America too.

    I played Archemedian Dynasty too (well, the demo) on a friend's brand new 486 (well it was at the time [img]http://www.firstones.com/forums/smile.gif[/img]). I was very impressed with what I saw but somehow never managed to buy the game...a missed oportunity methinks.

    Rick is still working on the business plan. We need to get it done before we can move forward on making contact with various publishers. I just got word today that he expects to have a first draft ready for me to look at this week.
