Developer posts and news about this game.
I've been hard at work getting Silent Shark to a point of being moddable as well as fully supporting controller input, so here's a video showing off how far I am so far - I'm planning on making a beta available soon for testers to try it out! And just in case you haven't seen it
Lots of awesome new stuff in this update - my personal favorite is that I've turned the "Event Log" into a "Crew Reports" panel where the various stations of your submarine will be calling out information in the correct order. I found an original recording of the USS Sealion maki
Releasing a big update today with a lot of awesome stuff - lots of it as a result of ideas and feedback by all of you. Thanks for all your Steam reviews, all your ideas, suggestions, and bug reports, both on the Steam discussions and the Discord ! Highlights Multi-step patrol rou
Bugs Fixed The stopwatch now keeps its position after reloading a game and collapses back into its compact control instead of the top-left corner. Radioed contact reports will avoid estimating ship and convoy positions on land. Deployment orders now count every torpedo aboard - l
I got a bunch of improvements and bug fixes for you as I wade through the mountains of awesome feedback and ideas you guys have sent in. Thanks to all the beta testers! Huge thanks also to all of you who have left such kind words in the (100% positive!!!) Steam reviews - they are

I've frozen additional feature development until after release (see my roadmap post for info on what to expect) and am only adding tweaks and bug fixes at this point... But first of all: 12,500 Wishlists!!! Silent Shark has passed 12,500 Steam wishlists and is getting hundreds mo

Speed of sound Sound now travels through the world instead of playing instantly. Distant effects now respect the speed of sound, so destroyer deck-gun reports and torpedo impacts reach you after a realistic delay based on their distance. You may see a distant gun flash and get th
Encounter Mode (Demo) TDC target preview now uses the live position keeper state, so the yellow estimated target outline stays smooth! Torpedo camera behavior improved: after a followed torpedo hits, it shows the impact, then switches to the next running torpedo or exits if none
Congrats Haju05 for winning this contest with a stunning 898 points!!! The last update included a whole new "Angle-on-Bow" Recognition Trainer (available in the main menu). What is "Angle-on-Bow"? Angle-on-Bow (AOB) is the angle between a ship's bow (the direction it's pointing)

Join me for a live playthrough of Silent Shark’s Campaign Mode. I’ll start a patrol in 1941, track contacts using the map, instruments, periscope, hydrophone, and TDC, and try to sink some ships and get enough reputation to get better submarines. This stream will show current fea
Pretty significant update today! Total overhaul of the Basic Tutorial! Red arrows instead of line + dot from the tutorial text box Tutorial text boxes can now be dragged anywhere the player likes Removed a few unnecessary steps in the Basic Tutorial to simplify Took out a lot of
