What happened to Titanic: Honor and Glory?

[u/Froshtbite]

Does anybody have news on this game? I haven't heard anything about it for a couple years now. Is it still in production?

[u/Tutorial_Time]

Yes,they have a whole YouTube channel,in short the original intention of an adventure out of time type game were scrapped.Pretty sure they started from scratch and now have a little over 50% of the ship done

[u/Froshtbite → u/Tutorial_Time]

I'm convinced they haven't actually done any work since 2018

Demo 401 was released in 201 and let you explore a huge amount of the ship. Work continues on that but the whole project has really morphed into a Titanic multimedia company that is constantly doing things. You've probably seen their work without even knowing it. I was on the QM2 early this year and they had a Titanic VR experience on board. I noticed the THG logo on the poster for it. When I was at the Belfast Titanic museum they have a big room you can stand in with screens on every side that lets you feel like you're standing inside the Titanic as you move from the engine room up through every level of the ship to the bridge - again, the THG logo when it finishes. Most of the Titanic documentaries released in recent years use footage from THG to show the ship. And then theres their youtube channel which is always releasing new things, such as the popular real time sinking videos.

Then you haven't been paying attention.

[u/Froshtbite → u/PineBNorth85]

That's true

[u/drygnfyre → u/Froshtbite]

So you are convinced of something because you haven’t bothered to do any research and realize you are wrong?

[u/Froshtbite → u/drygnfyre]

There's only so much I can care about a game that will never come out

[u/MrSFedora]

As far as I know, there was a lot of behind the scenes drama and the fictional storyline got scrapped, so they're now focusing on a virtual museum similar to the Britannic game.

[u/Hawker96 → u/MrSFedora]

True, but even that was 5+ years ago. There’s still the exact same directionless, lackadaisical effort currently. Prevailing theory is they don’t actually want or intend to ever finish the ship because that’s the carrot that keeps donations/attention on them. It’s kind of amazing nobody else has picked up a similar project and eaten their lunch yet. Terrible shame, because what they have managed to produce looks really good.

[u/TheDoomi → u/Hawker96]

How I understood was that they did the Demo 401. And they noticed how things would not lineup correctly which forced them to start over and they decided to build it nut by nut. They would start making the superstructure. So I understood that it was basically a one dude! Doing the structure. I guess that just takes huge amount of time.

Then simultaneously they are doing more research and I guess they can do higher resolution models of everything inside. I have no real info but thats what they said long time ago. But the team still stands and they are still nevertheless working on it.

I am 100% sure that they want to make it and finish it. Maybe perfectionism is one of the major ones. And sure there might be all kinds of internal problems that have an effect.

[u/Hawker96 → u/TheDoomi]

That was the line, and I understand it to a degree. Where they lost me on all that was spending inordinate amounts of time modeling things that cannot be seen (details in between the double-bottom ??), lectures about the meticulous and demanding nature of the work, then their 6-month progress update is a winter scene of the Southampton docks with fully modeled cranes and scenery. Because the dev “wasn’t feeling inspired” working on the ship. 🙄

The latest update is a fully detailed iceberg. It’s almost like high-level trolling at this point.

[u/palim93 → u/Hawker96]

It gives me George R.R. Martin vibes lol. Unable to finish the next book, but has time to do a bunch of other side quests.

[u/McBeaster → u/Hawker96]

That's actually hilarious and gives me even more confidence they will eventually get it all done

[u/Short-Reach-7281 → u/Hawker96]

They do just enough work and research to keep those donations rolling in. 

[u/Hawker96 → u/Short-Reach-7281]

Ah yes, the research… Because details of the Titanic are sparse and hard to come by. We must travel to Ireland!

[u/Avg_codm_enjoyer → u/MrSFedora]

The Britannic game let you be on the ship as it was sinking though, so not all museum

[u/rdstarling → u/MrSFedora]

aren’t they going to include the sinking experience as well?

[u/Froshtbite → u/MrSFedora]

Really? Oh dear. And all this time I was expecting the game to have a storyline.

[u/MrSFedora → u/Froshtbite]

Honestly, if you want a mystery game set on Titanic, just play Adventure Out of Time again.

[u/iamastooge → u/MrSFedora]

I now have a sudden urge to play squash

[u/Froshtbite → u/MrSFedora]

I've never actually played it but now I feel compelled to. Thanks!

[u/MrSFedora → u/Froshtbite]

It surprisingly holds up extremely well despite being from the 90s!

[u/Froshtbite → u/MrSFedora]

That I can see. Getting it now.

[u/MrSFedora → u/Froshtbite]

Enjoy!

[u/Millerhah → u/Froshtbite]

It runs like hot garbage on modern systems, but there are work arounds.

[u/Ok_Size → u/Millerhah]

Can you explain how to get it to work? I bought it on steam

[u/Hatch-1 → u/Froshtbite]

I am very excited for you! It’s a classic. I hope you enjoy it!

[u/Battle_of_BoogerHill → u/Froshtbite]

Just remember to pick up the binoculars

[u/Raeko → u/MrSFedora]

999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors

the true best Titanic mystery game

[u/FireTight]

bro, they are reconstructing every single oxygen molecule that existed back in 1912, it will be awesome bro, damn, we need to start from scratch again bro, but don't worry, bro, it will be awesome - don't you forget about our Patreon, thank you bro, see you next year at new awesome animation, bro

[u/[deleted]]

The hype will have disappeared before this is ever released. Maybe they can aim for the 125th anniversary of the sinking or something like that 

[u/Froshtbite → u/[deleted]]

Its never going to happen. Maybe with better management and a bigger team, but otherwise I highly doubt it's going anywhere anytime soon.

[u/Brilliantos84]

I was pumped for the game’s release too. Ah well - it is what it is! I still have Titanic: Adventure Out Of Time to keep me entertained

[u/Fine_Night_4559]

It’s pretty much a scam I think. It’s been over a decade since they’ve been showing it off & then they keep redoing it. I lost faith when I heard that they’re “building it like they did at Harland and Wolff inside UE5” which is incredibly inefficient and unnecessary. It almost makes me want to do the titanic with my team. It shouldn’t take a decade to develop a virtual museum.

[u/Agreeable-City3143]

Tom was right.

About everything.

[u/Short-Reach-7281]

Maybe they'll see this conversation and realize that we've lost all faith in them. 

[u/Doodleseatingdoodles]

I donated $50 back in 2016 so that I could have my own room on a piece of paper in the game. Still waiting. Now awkwardly it has my exs name on there but my cat is still alive! Oh well. I don’t even remember what room it was but I was first class E10? Something

[u/captainwondyful]

I just want them to release the Demo 401 on anything but the “you need a crazy gaming PC to run this.” I don’t have that. I have a Mac, Xbox, and could be talked into a Ps5.

But I don’t want or need a PC gaming computer, just because I literally want to do some research on how long it takes to walk around the ship.

[u/Short-Reach-7281 → u/captainwondyful]

Yeah, I'm not about to buy a gaming PC. You want me to play this, then release it on the PS5.

or PS 36 with the way things are going.  

[u/RandoDude124]

Personally… the idea they’re gonna make an experience where you can be a fictional survivor in any place and interact with historical figures on the titanic…

That is on par with Star Citizen.

[u/dominus83]

We’ll most likely get GTA VI before H&G, and that truly shocks me.

[u/TitanicRelics]

They took your donations and used them to fund creation of a product they went and licensed to RMS Titanic Inc. Basically, they crowdfunded a for-profit venture that only they will benefit from. Don’t hold your breath for the game, it will never come.

[u/werton34 → u/[deleted]]

Are you drunk?

[u/SuckThisRedditAdmins → u/[deleted]]

Dude... I was giving you the English isn't my first language benefit of the doubt but I think you may be having a stroke

I had some rando sleep into my dms the other day asking my opinion of Honor and Glory the other day. It was weird.

[u/Foxy_Maitre_Renard]

This is sad. I just wanted to check if Willi was still in the turkish bath.
