Titanic: Honor & Glory

Hello all! If you watched the livestream we held last Saturday the 8th of August you might recall we mentioned an updated Alpha build released this week. Unfortunately, Kyle, who is the main force behind getting out updates and progress on the Alpha, had some serious bad weather. His area of the cou

Hi all, we hope those of you who celebrate have had a lovely Easter Sunday! In case you've somehow missed it: The THG Alpha is AVAILABLE NOW for Patrons! Stokers and Bakers have access to the gantry and the ship structure (as it currently stands) within, as well as a shed. Deckhands and all tiers ab

As of yesterday, if you're a Baker (and Deckhand, Quartermaster, Engineer, or Officer), you now have access to early Alpha builds! However, the content of the lower-tier access levels is currently limited to the gantry, ship structure, and one shed, while the rest is open to higher tiers. This will

If you're a Deckhand, Quartermaster, Engineer, or Officer, please see the post linked below for the download, or see the pinned posts in the "early-alpha-testing" channel on the Patrons' Lounge Discord server. To join that server, please link or re-link your Discord account (if you have one) to your

Starting tomorrow, it will open up to Deckhands (and Quartermasters), with a reduced version opening to Bakers Friday and Stokers Monday. Officers and Engineers can grab the latest build HERE: https://www.patreon.com/posts/engineers-grab-153788229 HOWEVER, please note: The content is limited in thes

Well folks, it's time! Today, we're happy to finally start rolling out the first of several releases for the early Patreon access phase of the Alpha! We will be staggering the release as we work out various issues over the next week or so, with VERY early Alpha access starting NOW for Officers, open

Hi folks! A couple quick things: TEAM CALL TONIGHT! First: We're having our team call on our Patrons Lounge server tonight! It starts in about 30 minutes of this post going up, or 7PM Eastern Daylight time in the US, or around 11PM UK time. Short notice on this again, but we sometimes have these cal

Hi all, quick update on things: It took longer than expected, but we got the first super basic Patreon-integration test build out to the Patrons server. This build has NO CONTENT, it's purely to test integration with Patreon for levels of access and so on. This build initially didn't work as intende

EARLY ALPHA ACCESS COMING SOON! Hi all! It's been a while since our last big update, so to start with the biggest news: It's getting close to Alpha time, starting with early, exclusive access for Patrons! The launch of the THG Alpha will be in stages. First, there will be a private, simple test buil

Hello everyone! Executive Producer Matt DeWinkeleer here. Quarter 4 isn't over yet, so some of these final numbers are very close estimates. But here are our finances for 2025. Income: We raised $101,488.85 through Patreon subscriptions. YouTube revenue amounted to roughly $24,000. Licensing and com

Hi all, another update for you as we make our way through December! Alpha Updates Work on the Alpha is going on two fronts: Modeling and programming. On the modeling side, couple of remaining yard buildings are undergoing some polishing to higher quality to bring them to a higher standard and prepar

After that last update, we think it's better and easier on everybody if we try to put less stuff into more updates - easier for us to make the posts, easier for you to read, and nobody has to wait as long! With that in mind... Benches and Vents! Our modeler Matteo has been hard at work on various el

Hi all! Kyle here to wish you all a Happy Halloween if you're into that sort of thing. I hope you're all having tons of fun, lots of candy, and donning amazing costumes! We have a few things to share (around 80 images in the above slideshow, so better get scrolling!), but first I'd like to give a fe

The THG Alpha is being constructed! We have been working on a way to allow our fans, supporters, and Titanic enthusiasts to explore our Titanic recreation as it's being built. In a continuation of the vision we had for THG back in 2021, but in a way that's more appropriate for the way we're building

...or foggy or clear, or any other time. You choose!

Quick Kyle update this time: I've made more progress on the aft structure, mainly for the boss frames and the web frames located between the two wing propeller brackets/castings. Due to the propeller shafts and the need for extra strength, the steelwork is far more substantial here than in other par

Kyle here: Since my last update I've finished the initial run of hull frames, pretty much outline all the hull curvature and providing the main guidance I need to work on a bunch of other areas. These last frames fill in the fore and aft ends of the hull and include the frames in the counter stern.

Season's Greetings! First off, Merry Christmas to those who celebrate and happy New Year! Included here are 25 screenshots taken in the Belfast scene I made earlier this year, which itself stems from the Belfast scene we made for Demo 3 back in 2017. The gantry allows for lots of fun views of the sh

Hi all, Kyle here! I'm a bit late with this update since I intended to do it on March 31st, but better late than never. March was a VERY slow month for me, so this will be a more general THG update. Work on the structural model has been mainly with hull frames, and it's is a hugely tedious process.

Kyle here - Happy to tell you all that I've begun the process of making the ship's frames. These are steel channel "beams" that form the ribs of the ship. They're what the hull plating and deck beams are riveted to. In some places they are partly replaced by larger and more robust web frames for ext

Not much to say here, just doing more Tank Top plating, so here are a few more images. Things get really weird towards the bow and stern, especially the stern in way of the dynamo rooms, fresh water tanks, and shaft tunnels.

Hi folks, Kyle here again! Over the last month or so I've made some faster progress than usual, though there's still a long, long path ahead. Here's a quick rundown of what's been done: SHELL PLATING I mostly finished adjusting the bottom shell plating of the hull. This involved adjusting the meshes

Hi folks, Kyle here! I think it goes without saying it's been a while. My last update was just before (American) Thanksgiving, when I started taking time for the holidays. The remainder of November and good portions of December (Christmas and New Years) were like this as well. I was meaning to get a

Modeling continues for the wing tank floors or brackets. Pretty much every one is unique in some way, so each one has to be adjusted as I place them. Easy, but tedious. The good news is it'll probably be a bit sooner that I'll start working on vertical hull frames, as the brackets beyond the ends of

It's been a rather slow month, including another week or so where I couldn't get much done. But most of all this part of the ship has definitely proven to be the most difficult. The lackluster documentation, interplay of parts, and the sheer amount of curvature in this part of the ship lead to some

Not a huge update, nothing too special of note at the moment, just posting some new beauty shots as I continue to flesh out the double bottom with more floors. Those under the Turbine Room are done and a few more forward. The last image of the people lounging around shows the cutouts in some of the

Kyle here, just a quick update on structural model progress. I more or less finished blocking out the lightening holes and some other aspects of the double bottom, so it was time to start working on the actual models for the tank floors. For those still out of the loop, the "floors" are the vertical

As James mentions in the video, every month around the 15th, we post a pretty sizable update from various members of the team. Best part is, these updates are available instantly for everyone! So we hope that all of our Patrons and Non-Patrons enjoy this monthly update for the month of August! For m

As you've probably seen, I have started to work on the double bottom structure. However, there's only so much that can be done with the double bottom until some details are worked out. Specifically, the layout of lightening holes in the bottom floors as well as intercostals. The double bottom consis

With enough plating blocked out, I decided to start work on the double bottom structure. I started with the center keelson which ranges in height from 5' 3" to 6' 3" under the engines with some variation at the bow and stern. This center keels connects to the keel plates and bars and tank top platin

Kyle here. This is just a quick update to let you all know that I hate the keel to stem transition and I'm still not sure if the plating is totally correct here. That said, it looks good enough and so I can move on to the next strake (G). I look forward to leaving the plating behind for a while afte

Kyle here with another little update! With the plating strakes plotted out and translated to the hull mesh, I've already begun to extrude the hull plates, one strake, one plate at a time. I've started with the innermost plates along the bottom, strake "B" to be exact. So far I've made it out to stra

The first hull plates have been extruded! These are the innermost plates on the bottom, or second-innermost if you count the keel plates that were already done along the keel. This would be strake B. The strakes (or rows of plates) are lettered A to Z, so only 25 strakes to go... also a few extra in

No giant update here, just a few quick screen grabs of the hull work so far. Curves of hull plate strakes are mostly worked out, will hopefully ~soon~ start extruding the first of the plates, starting with the bottom and innermost plates.

Above: Curves laid out for shell plating on the new hull. Kyle here again! Currently I am plotting the layout of the strakes of steel plates on Titanic's hull. I gave a little preview earlier, but I'd like to talk about it a bit more now, as well as why I'm doing this work, what the benefits will be

Kyle here! Just a quick preview of what I'm working on now, which is plotting out the lines of the shell plating on the hull. This is a tedious task that has to be done before I can move to some other aspects of the model I'd like to, like frames. I'm also hoping to get the bottom plating out of the

FROM THE TEAM - This is going to be a big update when it comes to pictures. Hope you enjoy it! FROM JAMES - Hello from the open sea! My contract aboard this cruise ship is finally winding down and it is certainly a bitter sweet feeling. I am excited to return to land in under a month but sad to leav

Hi all, Kyle here! As of yesterday (Saturday, June 25th), my little (giant) snowball of Demo 401 is officially done! The last things to actually make it in are glimpses of the Reciprocating and Turbine Engine Rooms. These rooms are NOT fully fitted out and are not fully accessible. You can only see

Just leave it! Kidding. We plan to have some wood planks not yet laid in the first version of the Alpha to show what's underneath the wood. Here's a first test of it. It's called a test because it's still work in progress especially since there's a few wonky textures on the planks still. But there's
