[NEEDS BACKERS] HMS Marulken

[yoyo8346]

HMS Marulken is a co-op simulation game in which a team of players operate a Swedish world war II submarine. The game is played over a local network or the internet on PC and Mac. The players connects to a server, where they choose a submarine to serve on. Each crew can consist of up to four players, manning the stations in order to operate the ship. The demo is available at http://hmsmarulken.se/.

Check out their Kickstarter page here (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1655728789/hms-marulken-reboot) for more information. This indie game needs backers and is running out of time.

I encourage you to donate to this game. It has a lot of potential and is quite fun when played with groups of friends.

The exchange is approximately 8 SEK to 1 CAD. Google has a nifty tool (https://www.google.ca/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=1 SEK to USD) to calculate exchange rates.

do you get to help ship coal and steel to the third reich while also helping allied prisoners to escape back to the UK?

[General. Jackson]

Why'd you cancel it man?! Looked good!

Acctually they secured funding from another site but are making major changes to the game because of it, so we will be getting a co-op submarine simulator soon but it won't be HMS Malruken

The changes aren't "major" as you claim. The changes are only to the story and setting. Instead of an alternate history in a Swedish submarine program, it will take place on a German U-boat. The only noticeable differences will be the submarine designs and cut scenes/scripts. The game will also have a new title.

Same, but it's needs to be a huge game with both Atlantic and Pacific operations that way I can play as the USA (getting a little tired of German uboats.
I'd also want the subs to have the details of silent hunter 3 and 4 but have the ability to walk around like in 5.

Another thing I would like is more micromanagement like crew supplies etc etc.

This is all just wishful thinking as I don't think we will ever get it.

Sounds great! What's the new title? and do you have an approximate ETA?

Unfortunately there is no ETA, and the title has yet to be announced. Regardless of the minor changes that the new producers require, I am quite happy with what the game will turn into.

Funding successful!

Dear backers!
We have some very important news. The game has been successfully funded, but not through Kickstarter. We have established a partnership with Subsim, one of the biggest submarine simulator communities.

After discussing with the Subsim community we have decided on some changes to the game that deviate somewhat from what we have promised in this kickstarter campaign. Because of this, we have decided to cancel this Kickstarter campaign. We don’t want to make any promises we don’t keep, so we feel that cancelling the campaign is the right thing to do.

The changes will not affect the game mechanics, but does affect the story and setting. We have decided to not make a alternative history game about Sweden, and instead make on a more realistic, German U-boat game. This decision will be a disappointment for some, and please others. This is why we have decided to cancel the Kickstarter and start off on a clean slate.

The new version of the game will have a new name, which will be revealed soon. It will feature co-op game play with dynamically generated missions. The players will man a type VII German U-boat.

For those of you that want early access, the game will be released as an early access game on Steam, when the new type VII U-boat interface is implemented.

Thank you so much for supporting us, and we hope that you will follow the development of the new project! Updates and details will be available on our facebookpage and also here:http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/forumdisplay.php?f=277

Best regards

Einar and Oscar

Indeed, looks like a fascinating concept, hope development goes smoothly!
