IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Grand Voyage Reveal

Editorial Summary

Mike Brady from Ocean Liner Designs introduces a new interactive virtual experience titled Ocean Liner Designs Grand Voyage. This project is described as a video game designed to allow users to explore the history of various ships, airships, and maritime machines. The creator explains that the experience is built using Unreal Engine 5 and features three distinct levels for each vessel: the shipyard, the dockside, and the mid-ocean. These levels are intended to teach users about different stages of a ship's life, from construction to its active career and eventual loss. The presentation highlights key features such as the freedom to explore massive environments, the ability to interact with the surroundings, and a system that allows players to control time and weather conditions. Brady introduces the development team, including lead developer Matt Hughes and various 3D modelers and researchers. While the project is currently in the alpha stage, the creator notes that the goal is to capture these vessels in their glory days rather than focusing solely on their disasters. The game is slated for a version one release in early 2024.
