FAQ
Q: Have you modelled the entire interior of the U-boat?

A: Most of the interesting and tactical things that happen in a U-boat happens in the command room and radio/sonar compartments. This is where the sensors, periscopes, rudder and dive controls are. The engine (and torpedo) room only respond to orders from the command room via engine order telegraphs. A player playing the engine crew would just stand around waiting for the telegraph to change.

Unless we invent some way of actually managing and repairing the engine (which I feel, is outside of the scope of this game), I do not see a reason for a player to actually go to the engine room. It would be very cool to have the whole U-boat modelled, yes, but it would mostly be window dressing. It would not affect gameplay in any way. A whole U-boat would also feel very empty without a crew, so making the rest of the U-boat would also mean making a crew (ie making 40 character models). Preferably these models would have different animations, sound, and behaviours depending on the situation.

You can probably see how this thing can get out of hand very quickly. I am not ruling it out completely, as I said, it would be really cool to have the entire interior and a crew, but considering the time investment it would take to make one, and also considering that it would not impact gameplay very much (if at all), it is not very high on our priority list at the moment.

Q: How many people are on the Wolfpack Team?
A: Two. Oscar and Einar

Q: Is there a Single-Player option?

A: It is possible to launch the game alone. It is not impossible for a single player to man the U-boat at this point, but it is definitely not optimal since it requires a lot of running between the different stations.

We have decided to put rudimentary bots at #1 on the To Do List since this feature gets requested reccurently. However, Wolfpack is designed for co-op, and we hope you give the multiplayer aspect a chance. Our Discord Server is full of friendly and very devoted people, so don't hesitate to join it.
