Titanic: HG - JUNE STATUS UPDATE

[@sledgehammerk35]

I don’t care how long it takes as long as it’s done right. Thanks for taking the proper amount of time to insure 100% historical accuracy… very few companies would ever do that.

[@manoncaillard]

Agreed 🙌

[@TheScottishBOLSHEVIK]

i certainly care because i do not want to see another egotistic pure and utter definition of "capitalist" liar, abuser, stealer to say the least of Thomas Linskey. Yes Matt and Kyle so fourth are not innocent eirther. But they don't atleast have the brass neck to sue, shame, de-platform others unlike mr Linskey.

[@Jack_Kennedy1987]

We need more people like you in the comments. On other videos people are REALLY salty about how long it is taking

[@emperoring112]

I truly cannot wait for the full ship to be released. Its been my DREAM to have my own Titanic model to fully explore and you guys have absolutely blown my expectations out the window with how precise and exact you are with how the ship should look. You guys have my fullest support!🙏🙏🙏

[@Historymaker-2001]

Mine too. I have always wanted to see the crew spaces in particular

[@soulreapermagnum]

have they ever given a timeframe for when the full game might be released? i know they want to release it on steam once it's done but that's the extent of my knowledge, i just found out about honor and glory a couple of weeks ago from one of mike brady's videos.

[@DarkTideOffroad]

@@soulreapermagnum its not going to be a full release. its just a walk through demo.

[@angel1584]

On a side note: Today is the 112th anniversary of the beginning of Olympic's maiden voyage. Shout out to the Old Reliable.❤

[@falsedriverz]

Yes, I miss Olympic content

[@Local-Of-The-Mitten-State]

I love how you guys recreated the historical image of the _Titanic_ and the _Olympic_ docked right next to each other.

[@Wingdinger]

The minimap concept is dope. Also, the gantry. Who cares if Kyle gets distracted sometimes, the results are amazing.

[@hexshadowman]

I was actually one of the tour guides and actors at the Titanic Museum in Orlando for several years. I haven't been part of the company in just as many years, but I'm so thrilled that you all were able to collaborate with the Museum's parent company. I was actually pushing to have them officially sponsor your project early on in its development, which I was unfortunately unable to do. I'm glad that it finally happened in the end, though. I wish the very best for your project, and I can't wait to see where it goes from here!

[@A.Netizen.Since.2010]

..Great ! 🙂

[@saoirsecruise6713]

Awesome! I've been there before! Were you playing an Irish person by any chance? 😊

[@joekiwi200]

"The problem is, Kyle didn't tell us that he was doing this". I laughed so hard at that sentence. The delivery was perfect. Can kind of understand why Kyle would need a break from the monotony of doing the superstructure.

[@gremio3293]

Man I've been following this project for the past few years and its been a rollercoaster...there where times I thought it cant be done but now it really truly does feel like you guys are actually going to do it! Keep it up this is amazing!

[@girlytomboyx]

The thumbnail of both RMS Olympic and RMS Titanic side to side to each other is just incredible work by Kyle! I love the gantry model, just incredible!

[@jimmiles33]

I’m hoping this historical ship recreation genre progresses. Would LOVE to see recreations of old warships.

[@johnkringe]

I doubt that would happen

[@jimmiles33]

@@johnkringe give it time. I’m exploring it now.

[@hairy_putin]

Recreations of warships would be incredible, and I sorely want a multiplayer game where different people man different positions and have to work together and do their job to win. I grew up on the Silent Hunter games and some of my Dad's old books from the 1970s so something so detailed and authentic would be a dream come true.

[@oscodains]

@@johnkringe it would be easier than Titanic HG if it’s based off a museum ship that still exists and is well preserved.

[@johnkringe]

@@oscodains I'm saying that I doubt the Titanic Honor and Glory devs would do it

[@metallicasnake]

Everything you guys do is appreciated. Thank you for your efforts.

[@clochb]

The map/minimap feature would be a big improvement in enjoying both 401 and THG. It's hard to orient myself in that labyrinth sometimes. 😅 Overall, you're doing an excellent work, it's unbelievable how much progress you did in just 1 year, I hope to see the finished game soon!

[@steftrando]

It should be an option that is hidden deep in the settings. It should be off by default

[@Jack_Kennedy1987]

​@@steftrandohidden deep in the settings? Do you hate the idea that much?

[@cardiffgiant9406]

Amazing James as always. As you said, I am enjoying the Titanic history that Kyle and your team are bringing back to life. I am happy to wait for THG because the 'distractions' like the Arrol Gantry and the Launch animation really take me back to events and places that none of us have ever seen in colour and such detail. You guys are doing an AMAZING job and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. My dad got me into Titanic and it has been amazing to share all these videos and animation with him.

[@jackganimations]

This Jack guy is really slaying 💅💅💅

[@luxury_noob24]

Ong?!? (when is the Lusitania video coming?)

[@TheScottishBOLSHEVIK]

In english or don't comment don't be vile libral like er *cough, cough* Mr Thomas Linskey.

[@pvandekuijt]

As a UI designer for games, and a big fan of the historic value (+consequent wider target audience), can I suggest making the minimap as subtle as possible to avoid the demo feeling too much like a 'game'? Perhaps provide the option to easily toggle it, in any case. Providing information is a great goal, but seeing history come to life with no overlay at all is also really great!

[@pvandekuijt]

Alternatively, you could consider a fully diegetic map, where you look down and see hands pulling up an actual map. See Metro: Exodus for a reference on it. Considering even holding physical maps this day and age seems to have become something from the past, it could add to the historic nature of this experience.

[@journal9685]

[@toddkurzbard]

We are all behind you and appreciate your efforts to give us the best presentation anyone can possibly expect. It's completely evident what a labor of love this is, and the whole world will be the beneficiaries. I hope that in the future these will be used in schools to teach new, young minds the story of TITANIC. Whenever this does come out, I will be first on line to purchase it.

[@FloatingOnAZephyr]

As a lifelong Titanic enthusiast, I can only thank you for all the work you're putting in. I love that Kyle did the Belfast work too, it really added something and seems an obvious addition to the project in hindsight. Can't wait to see more!

[@JKS62B50]

The amazing team and project. Always excited when Mike Brady joins the team!! When I saw that Arrol gantry for the first time I almost fell off my chair. What an honor to be your Patron gentlemen. THG project really made me upgrade my tier. Keep up the good work...

[@CreativeSteve69]

Thanks so much for this great update video James. Truly appreciate it a ton. Been a follower of the crew since summer of 2017 and been loving the whole dedication you guys have put into Honor and Glory over the years. Congrats on the recent sponsorships to help you guys out of course. It has been a huge blast seeing each updated video of the ship over the years it's come a long way and should be proud of what you guys accomplished so far over the years. It's inspiring me to get into a World-Building project of my own now which I highly appreciate the inspiration over the years.

[@randylahey1232]

Project 401 brought tears to my eyes and I'm not just saying that it's beautiful I pray I'm still alive when it's finished

Like you've said, i hope everyone gets to finish the project before dying of old age. I've been following you guys since middle school, during the mafia mod days. Now i have a full time job. Kyle being the most experienced modeler to work on this is also accurate, the sheer dedication alone that he has is impressive. I remember the times when he was just starting out by making virtual sailor mods.

[@A.Netizen.Since.2010]

..Kyle is great...But Derek's work is also amazing...And now Jack is unleashing his magic......Tom was great as well. .but he had to leave THG for personal reason... . 🙂

[@Chiberia]

I do product development and program management for a living... one of the best pieces of advice in software development is "don't sacrifice good for great." The amazing thing about digital product development is that you can change the product after you deliver it to the customer. Tuning in what is worth spending time on is literally what separates successful startups from failures (amongst other things...). Keep fine tuning what "viable" means for your project so you can get your MVP out.

[@sonsofevil2]

incredible work you guys do! i was a titanic fan since ive been a child and its insane now to walk through the ship on project 401. somehow a lifelong dream come true! Iam happy to buy once the full release on steam! thank you for your work and energy

[@madrx2]

Thank you James to you and your team for all the hard work. Ever since the early 90’s and binging on Ken Marschall art, when I had my first Pentium computer I dreamed of a day when technology advanced far enough for something like this came to fruition.

[@CyberJohn_TitanicModelBuilder]

Ohhh WOW. These new images are truly mind blowing! Amazing work guys. 💯💯 Kyle Hudak, you are amazing.

I sincerely hope that this incredible recreation project will inspire filmmakers to create projects that feature the less-well-known areas of Titanic.

You've been doing a great job as a creative director. I can see the change is drastic from the last leadership style, and its quite a positive one. You guys also have an excellent team, none of this would be possible without them. I'm loving your new updates, can't wait to keep seeing more. Keep up the great work guys!

[@LanciaSiluri]

Best part right now is that you have to include an imploded diving craft lol.

[@ReadyWhippet]

So, bottom line is: Kyle went completely off-piste and did his own thing without telling anyone... Caveat: No-one cares, because whatever Kyle does is absolutely phenomenal and always adds to the offerings of H&G

[@brianbommarito3376]

I have complete faith in your team, I have never lost it for a moment. And I’ve been watching your work since Tom was head of the team. Your work is amazing, it will be a treasured part of Titanic history when it is completed. Both enthusiasts and the general public will be blown away by your recreations. Thank you for the update. Oh, and thank you, James, for trying to make a video while sailing close to the Britannic wreck. If it succeeds, great! But if it doesn’t go according to plan, just know that we still appreciate you for trying. It’s nice little things like you do that lets us know you care about this subject as much as we do. Carry on, and happy sailing to all of you working on Project 401 and Titanic: Honor and Glory.

Kyle's work with the gantry is phenomenal. I am a 3D artist and I don't know how he does this with such detail and accuracy. Every mouse click this man makes makes turns to digital perfection. RMST must be blown away because this gantry such an element of the story of Titanic.

[@CrazyBrosCael]

For the time I had a GPU that could run Project 401, I spent hours everyday just walking around the ship while listening to music. I liked studying the ship. I say “for the time”, because I had to send my gpu back, and haven’t bothered to get another one yet. Will though, cause I found the overall experience of just waltzing around quite therapeutic.

[@Kaidhicksii]

I was actually just on the Norwegian Pearl a few weeks ago on a cruise to Bermuda. My second cruise ever: I had a blast. All these updates are very cool, especially the Arrol Gantries. I just love how Kyle can't find the time to finish off the ship, yet he finds time to finish both the cranes and much of Belfast lol _(Ik Ik, two very different things, but still)._ I wouldn't have it any other way though: it just feels necessary. Maybe once Kyle finishes enough of Titanic's structure, he can then "launch" her out of the slipway _(highlight and drag her out lol)_ and proceed to finish the rest of her where there's space. I do agree: there is simply no one who does it better than him. I also love the idea of the mini-map: that's a must. I personally don't need it since I have a natural sense of direction unlike most people, but for others it would be a very useful feature. As long as there's an option to disable it and the rest of the UI, I'm all good. Keep up the hard work, and before I go, my thoughts and prayers to the crew of the Titan submersible. If they're still alive, they're running out of time, and they need to be saved as fast as possible.

keep the map from demo 3 also,it looked so cool,the shipyard its not just about the ship gotta give it some pretty views also other than open sea,i remember demo 3 and getting off the train and enjoying the anticipation of walking to it and getting closer,dont let that modelled area go to waste also it would be cool if you finised the grey scale southampton stuff,just finish what was already built in like 2015,it would be such a waste to just scrap it.

That gantry looks like someone went back in time with a iPhone 14 pro, took videos and pictures of the launch, and brought them back to 2023. Truly amazing

[@stevemuzak8526]

I'm excited about this project as much as people in 1912 waiting to finally see this mighty and stunning looking ship.

[@Uncle_Fred]

Two points: 1) Please make the minimaps optional. I really like the design in titles like Elden Ring that encourage players to explore a space without holding their hand. A lack of a minimap and markers forces the passenger to gain a true understanding of the ship. It's also much more authentic since passengers didn't have a minimap in 1912. 2) Have you guys looked into Fluid Flux? This plugin for the Unreal Engine is amazing at realistically simulating water flooding. Even if this was only used for your cinematics, it would be a huge upgrade in the fidelity of your presentations. Combined with your model, you might even be able to gain new insites into how the ship actually flooded that no one has previously understood.
