Titanic: Honor and Glory

[mmntech]

I've been following this project for about a year now. Don't know if anybody else is interested in it. Seems like kind of a niche game. It's a bit of a spiritual successor to the late 90s adventure game Titanic: Adventure Out of Time.

It's a first person adventure murder mystery set on board the Titanic. You play as someone someone fleeing prosecution in Britain while trying to clear their name. What's really cool is they're modelling the whole ship, which you'll be able to explore in full. There's also about 200 NPCs you'll be able to interact with. Pretty big for an adventure title.

They've been working on it already for a couple years now. About half the ship is modeled in Unreal Engine 4, and it looks fantastic. A lot of attention to detail and accuracy. It's very ambitious for an indie game. They're currently running their first IndieGoGo fundraiser and want $250k. They say they need $2 million total. I don't see how they'll get that crowd funding alone, but I wish them best of luck.

I've been following this since if first appeared several years ago (I want to say like...sheez...2009?) on CryMod. It's had quite a trip; started out in CryEngine2, and then everything got moved to CryEngine3. For whatever reason (licensing issues, I believe), it then got moved to Unreal. It's been interesting to watch this game, from a visual perspective, jump from engine to engine through the development.

I really hope this game makes it to release. The amount of detail they've invested into the environment is outstanding. I don't see them hitting their goal via crowdfunding, but I hope they can find a way to get it finished.

Looks very ambitious. They estimate they need $1.15mm for a release. Tough!

They finally have a tech demo available for download that lets you tour part of the ship. You can visit...
-D Deck First Class Reception and Entrance
-E Deck Scotland Road
-F Deck Turkish Baths and 3rd Class Dining Saloon

Once again, their attention to detail is pretty impressive. The demo also works with the Oculus Rift if you have one. Unfortunately they've only raised 18% of their goal with a week to go before the deadline. I hope they at least push the free roam mode out and that it doesn't end up as vaporware.
