I think there is something here, but it needs to the have the gameplay finished. The graphics have a kind of Bioshocky vibe =D

The keys you have to use are all over the keyboard and there is still a lot missing. The idea is nice though, but it needs more improvement.
I really liked the controls, took me a while to figure it out, but awesome! - I managed to hit another sub multiple times, but the torpedoes just went through it- This all happened on the surface, so I don't know if that had anything to do with it. Sounds would've added a lot to this game- The graphics was nice and your underwater mood was nice- But that mood would've rocked with a few underwater sound effects.
All in all, I was impressed with this game - Good job!
The scene does not render for me. I can see the HUD and behind it is a black screen. Pressing keys shows changes in the meters (so the game logic is fine). I'm running Windows 7 (64bit) on a laptop with a moderate graphics card (ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series); I extracted the game and ran using the bat and later using just the jar. Not rating for now.
Nice take on the theme. I like the gauges.
like the visuals :)
some simple ambient sounds would have really improved this!
i think i zoomed out of the map by accident
Nice try but the gameplay seems a bit unfinished, with more time, I'm sure that you would had done a very promising game, good job!
I have an issue while trying to launch it on Mac OSX :
"Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/ludumdare29/Game : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0"
I have tried launching it with the command line "java -jar ludum[...].jar" and with the sh script, resulting in this error.
Thanks for the comments everyone!
SuperIzzo: Probably some issue with the shader then, the UI is rendered with the default LibGdx shader, but the ocean uses my custom shader. I'll need to look into compatibility issues with different cards more in the future, there's probably no quick fix I can do for this Jam.
Mekuri: Agreed, I'd have loved to add sounds for all the different motors and systems if I would have had more time. The torpedo hit detection was a last minute addition, I'll check if there is some obvious bug.
Aomeas: What version of Java do you have? (The output of java -version ).
I compiled it with Oracle Java 1.7, so it might not work with older Java versions.
Looks awesome! With some polish and juice, I think you'll have a winner!
Just a black screen for me. I can see the gauges, and I can interact with them, but the middle of the screen is solid black. On Windows 7 x64, java 1.7. I have a Radeon video card that's about five years old, my best guess is itas a shader compatibility issue.
Empyrealhell: Thanks for reporting. So far two radeon cards that my custom shader fails on, so we could have a pattern there.
Too bad I also can't run it. Only the hud. It looked very promising...maybe later!
Nice game!!!!!!
Didn't run on OSX. Tried just the jar and the shell script. The shell script gave me this error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/ludumdare29/Game : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

Kinda freaking fantastic. All it lacks is sound and gamepad support. This could be seriously fun to play online with friends.
