Two weeks ago, I released the tactical map-based WW2 submarine sim Silent Shark (which I got feedback on from HN for beta test a few months ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48180924 ) and it's gone extremely well for a side project - I've had over 100 Steam reviews, 99% of them are positive, and I have sold a few thousand copies so far.

I began working on this game just 6 months ago and have only worked on it in my spare time in evenings and on weekends, instead of playing computer games. I made the early decision to use Codex for 100% of the coding, that has been a phenomenal experience.

The only Image Gen AI I've used has been to clean up 2 old and weathered historical maps I found, to make them readable.

Still have over 25,000 Steam wishlists and growing. I'm super thankful and having a blast.

Do sharks normally make sounds?

Think not but “Normal Shark” just didn’t have the same ring to it

”Steel Shark”, maybe?
