Bit-Tech wanted to know more about what it takes to make a realistic nautical simulator, how such games carve out a place in the market and how VSTEP thought the simulation genre might have changed in recent years.
They wanted to know these things so badly in fact that they felt compelled to follow up with Frank after Gamescom and find out more about Ship Simulator Extremes. Here's what he had to say.
Paradox Interactive and developer VSTEP announced today that the next DLC offering for their hard core nautical ship simulation game Ship Simulator Extremes, the Ship Simulator Extremes: Customs Vessels DLC, will be absolutely FREE.
Ship Simulator Extremes presents a challenging and realistic sim-based captaining experience, with the Customs Vessels DLC expanding the role-playing and sim challenge modes by putting the player in the role of an ICE/Customs Officer who must inspect ships as they enter the duty zones of the port.
Nick Wheeler takes an in depth look at Ship Simulator Extremes for the Reticule.

"Simulation games are always going to be a mixed bag. When you’re going to make a game based around trying to get as close as humanly possible to the real thing, you’re going to run into some issues. Flight simulators are a prime example. Just about everyone I knew growing up wanted to be a pilot at one time or another. When we learned that being a pilot is a lot closer to driving a bus through the sky than to our expectations of flying through rings of fire, most of us lost interest. That’s where the games come in. Allowing us to live out these fantasies without being burdened with the more menial aspects found in difficult career fields is the entire appeal of the genre."
