What feature are you the most excited for? :)
Just joined as tourist patreon member!! So happy to support and join your grand effort!!❤❤
The changing of the time and weather and hopefully exploring the ports.
@@puterboy2 that would be cool
This is where I think virtual reality could really shine and it's an absolute travesty that the gaming industry has not picked up on these concepts. Imagine being able to explore famous times and places, ships, trains, The Colossus of Rhodes, The Hercules, the White House in 1863, Pearl Harbor, Colonial Boston, The World Trade Center.
I love this; keep it going.
Agree fully.
totally agree
I like trains more than ocean liners and airships, but the fact that this game has an educational and interactive component has me convinced that it will be incredible! 😊
I would like to see trains too.
Hopefully, he'll start covering them, too 😃
I would recommend looking into century of steam in regards to trains. It's a game being developed by a bunch of very passionate steam preservationists.
"Lakonia Theme" is simply lovely.
I totally agree
I totally agree
@@maddexairlines even soothing
Amazing progress!
I would kill for Carpathia to make the cut as a DLC ship after release...
Me too.
I agree
Great idea!
This game has so much potential, Not even with just airships and ships themselves, but the port cities and different eras. I hope they full this game with so much.
I am a steam engine nut. I love steam engines. I can’t believe you guys are gonna model them! I don’t have words!
👍
Thank you!
What’s even more impressive is that Ethan is only 16. He’s an absolute genius and extremely talented when he’s only a teenager!
@@AndyHappyGuy”15”
Yeah, that is awesome! Looking forward to that part a lot! Awesome machinery where you are able to generally see what is happening
our friend Mr Brady just does not stop, and im here for it
he just continues on
How is all this even possible? I'm in awe.
I'm speechless. I haven't seen game graphics this astounding in, well, all my life, and the soundtrack is absolutely exquisite! Well done to everyone involved! I sure hope it one day becomes available on more platforms like Mac or even consoles - would love to try it out for myself!
One ship would be amazing to have built is the French Lines Normandie. That would be an amazing ship to be able to walk around. Especially in VR.
Your content is always enjoyable. CHEERS
This is a game I’ve always wanted that I never actually thought would be made. I thought ocean liners were too niche of a topic, so I am grateful that there are people out there like you and your team making such a game a reality. Thank you!
This is Amazing, seeing an Australian Team (I am Aussie, and from Geelong) Develop a Game about one of my Favorite Topics, And to make it look this good, it's magnificent. Mind you, did I spy the Funnel of an American Line Ship at 5:46, looks like the America considering it's position compared to the other funnel, hidden behind a Crane
dude 100% agree with you ! the Game Looks Awesome for us Ocean Liner and Ship Enthusiasts! but than to also Have it essentially a "Made In Australia" Game is just way awesome .. also from Melbourne!
Omg this is every maritime historians dream!!!! Thank you thank you thank you Mike and your team for producing this, I’m so excited to play the finished product 😍 similar reaction when I discovered Tom Lynskey and the Titanic: Honor and Glory project, I couldn’t contain my excitement!! People like you guys are such a credit to history, and I honestly am so grateful to you all xx
Michael. This was a beautiful presentation. Such quality. Thank you.
You're welcome
Fascinating seeing the Ocean Terminal built at the berth 44 built in 1908 till 1911 for White Star the same place from what Titanic left in post war period of WWII. At 7:37 one can see on left upper corner the two floor gantry used boarding the Olympic trio and many other ships. It got scrapped after war. Terminal opened in 1950 and got torn down in 1983 on the spot of original train and passenger shed serving the Olympic trio with other ocean liners from Normandie, France, the Queen's etc. As it was rented out when free.Most of the late Golden Age ocean liners before air travel stopping at Southampton. They even preserved the rail tracks for passenger trains to stop beneath the roof of the terminal for comfort.
One of my most anticipated projects this year, I think what would put it over the top would be a Simplified Multi Crew Co-Op/Online aspect where you have to manage each aspect of the systems and to be able to actually pilot these vessels to different places.
That to me would be the be all end all of what could make this a major hit from people into this project.
Great work so far! Will closely follow the project, so maybe one day I can embark on my two grandest voyages imaginable - the pre-WWI Orient Express and the LZ-129 Hindenburg.
I hope we will be able to download the soundtrack or listen to it on steaming platform because those songs are just perfect
I'm hyped for Aquitania. Here's hoping for a few more four-stackers eventully.
The music is amazing, absolutely moving and captures the very essence of these machines and the ports they called home. I cannot wait for this.
Will you be recreating Titanic, or is that staying with Honor & Glory?
The Southampton theme made me “giddy” and exited towards this project. Hats off to all of you involved. 😊
Everything about this project is nothing short of awesome. As an experienced hobby 3D modeler and boat enthusiast myself, I'm left with only one thought; there simply aren't enough hours in the day. If I could give everything up and join this team, I would do so in a heartbeat. At best, one day, I'll be able to purchase all of what's available and just spend a huge portion of my free time enjoying it. Kudos and respect to all at O.L.D; I know what it takes to create things like this and consider the skills of those involved, music included, greatly underrated.
You have come a long way, Michael, and this adventure seems to be absolutely fantastic. I can't wait to see it!!!
Mike, I’m so very proud of you and the team for coming so far. Everything so far looks absolutely brilliant, and I’m most definitely excited for the updates and release. Well done you guys!
I respect what yall are doing for the ocean liner community! I love how yall don’t want ocean liners memory to die
I saw what looks to be the SS America in the background of some of those shots. I hope to see her in game at some point
A fantastic update!!!
Great to hear the team is growing!
I do hope you're not married to the 2024 release date; a delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad, after all! Release it when it's done, I say!
I really love the idea of this game, the idea of a living, breathing experience that's constantly being adjusted and added to. It's just lovely.
I wanna see Mike design his own liner and eventually bring it to life in the game.
I hope you're able to include the Empress Of Australia. It had a very stylish Oriental themed first-class saloon/lounge and dance floor. It was a beautiful ship!
VR Support pleeease! This would truly show the size of those ships and airships and would be pulling you into that old times 👌
While official VR support indeed would be nice, UEVR should do the trick already.
@@funnyml3356 Oha, I had no idea that existed! Thanks for that tip
@@funnyml3356I'm already walking around on Titanic in demo401 ;)
This is amazing and I love it so much!!
Even after so many months I still find it hard to believe that some people are actually pulling this off! It feels like tooth fairy fulfilling my wish hahaha
Awesome Mike! You are one of the world’s superstar content creators!
finally!! i’ll have a reference for a southampton dock!!
Everything is absolutely amazing! The music brings everything to life! The musical representation of the ships at sea made me smile. Keep up the great work!
Aquitania will be so awesome
You guys are making the game I've always dreamed of. Thank you.
Awesome update video! Great job Mike, Ethan, Sylvie and team!
Thank you!
The Empress of Ireland song...
so emotional x___x
Dear Mike and the amazing team of Grand Voyage - thank you so much this wonderful teaser - and what a teaser it is. The work you all have been doing is already such a tribute to the past eras of sea travel and these magnificent ladies. What has blown me away, is the music and soundtrack - wow, just wow.... this is all shaing out to be an unforgetable game experience. I am so looking forward to the interiors, the texturing, the lighting ambiance, and of course the people we will encounter and get to know. You did not mention it, and I suppose it will be too much to expect at this stage of the game, but please, please consider including some of the crew areas, espeically the working galley, bakery, wine cellar and provision storerooms. Thank you so much. Last possible suggestion, please don't forget the Unioin Castle Mail Ships that sailed each week between Southampton and South African coastal cities e.g. RMS Edinburgh Castle (1947), RMS Pendennis Castle (1957) etc.
0:38 WOW and WOW again! Look at the Art-deco sea terminal at Southampton! Well done! Is the Normandie planned? Hindenburg and Graf Zeppelin too? Congrats and kudos to you, Mike!
I hope you can also do the Art-deco sea terminal that was home-port for Normandie. It, too, was beautiful!
The ship-trains from London to Southampton too?
That shot at 6:38 - did I see the SS United States? (I know I did...it's kinda had to miss those red, white, and blue uptakes.) If so I hope she'll also be part of this experience.
Hi, one of the passengers on the R101 flight that crashed in France in October 1930 was Michael Rope. The Rope family built a small chapel in his memory. Over the years it was greatly extended by the family. The church is 'Holy Family and St. Michael' in Kesgrave, Suffolk. It is part of St. Mary's Catholic parish and there is an entry about it on the St.Mary's web site. There are some very good stained glass windows which were made by one of the Rope family ladies. A model of the R101 hangs just inside the church entrance.
My grandfather would have met Michael Rope. He was a passenger aboard R101. His name was William Palstra and the book AIRSHIP OF DREAMS is released in April 2024.
Can't wait to see the engine rooms ❤❤❤ Hearty thanks to everyone on the team and all patrons funding this game.
Awesome awesome awesome. Super excited, love from Italy (Andrea Doria lessgo!)
The engine and boiler rooms are so welcome because I will spend the entire voyage down there, seriously.
Looking forward to the release. Great project.
Man that looks like a fantastic time! Something I wish I could do! I’ve thought of how cool something like this would be since the mid 90’s. Very exciting to learn more
This is an excellent concept. Keep up the good work
Simply STUNNING!
I am so excited for this game Mike! You guys are doing an amazing job!
Brilliant Mike Can't wait!
This looks awesome, and I love the music! Definitely my second-most anticipated game for the next couple years!
This is going to be amazing! Love all that you do!
Wow it’s come such a long way already! Can’t wait for the launch! My fave so far is the Southampton theme song. The grand voyage theme coming in second! So exciting! 🚢 🎮 the visuals and details are absolutely breathtaking! The team should be so so proud of their work! Great job!!
Artists and creators like this are literally pioneering the technology that will someday bring the Holodeck to life.
Amazing simulation! The data needed for this must be monumental.
This need VR support! I tried Titanic Honor and Glory on VR, abit laggy, but damn that feeling of "being" onboard the ship was amazing!
Lakonia Theme brought a tear to my eye. So beautiful!
If Mauritania gets added to the game, I really hope you guys do her engine room, because I want to see the engines that made her and Lusitania so fast
Awesome work Mike.
Hey Mike! its lovely to see all this and cant wait! If i may i'd like to add one thing though. I know its a work in progress i just wanted to say that at 7:00 we see the city of Québec as i presume would be on Empress of Ireland. As we all know she sank in 1914 but i saw that Chateau Frontenac has it tower which was only built in 1924. As i said i know its a work in progress and i cant wait to see the final result :))
Would love to see S.S Great Britain was made, I would love to see it. See Liverpool dock in 1845 too
Beautiful ❤
Mike, This Is Beautiful ❤
Subscribed for email updates on your website! Love to see it progress thus far!!!
Tremendous job! What a great contribution to preserving all these wonderful old worlds, stories and images. Many thanx!
Virtual instruments are getting so absurdly detailed these days. You really can't tell the difference with a skilled composer at the helm.
It's also nice to see the music genres of the early 1900's making a comeback.
This will be absolutely amazing, thank you all for your hard work.
Another idea would be to allow players to hop aboard the steam tugs and work them as well. Hehe I love tug boats haha.
As a Sotonian (adopted) it's great to see town brought to life in virtual form. Particularly pleasing to see the old Ocean Terminal. Where's South Western House :p
I love the Lakonia music
This is so stunningly beautiful! I cannot wait to play this. The themes are amazing, really capture the mood and eras well.
As before, the ambient lighting is beautifully done. Definitely going to check out the video mentioned.
Aquitania, yay!! And I love that the NPCs are being given as much detail as everything else. Blank-faced NPCs would be creepy (although I would laugh out loud if there's a painting or photo somewhere of the Gorse-Joneses (IYKYK 😂)
This is very impressive Mike! I'm not a really ship fan as you are, but I love so much to learn and see those enormous and excellent work you and your team is doing! ;) Lets keep up. :) From Quebec, Canada
These guys have built several ships and an airship faster than the honor and glory guys have made half of one ship 😂
Lol. Even Britannic PotM had much faster development. And that game is great.
Adding characters to the game as well so fast.. THG is a scamm
I just can't wait to see my most favorite, the one and only Titanic.
wow this game is a dream come true i would love to see the Olympic class make it as a DLC in future updates
There is so much potential here, not just the era of the ship set in and learn of the time too. Expand this game to its fullest
Looks amazing!
Can’t wait! Looks amazing
This game is looking really fantastic , I'm very impressed with the work y'all have achieved. I wish I could help sadly the finances aren't there .
2:20 look Gary there i (Cina) am!!!!!!!!!!!!!
god i cant wait for this game
:)
I am so excited for this experience and for the team behind it all. We are all so grateful for everyone's hard work reproducing history in an interactive format. I hope it will inspire all generations and provide a catalyst to reproduce one of the most inspiring and dare say cultured times in our history.
What a time to be alive
Really looking forward to the GameBoy Advance release!
This is so awesome
I love the look of this. As somebody who's lived beside Southampton Water for the majority of my life, I remember the final years of the Ocean Terminal, and look forward to being able to see it again.
Game looks great. This tied with Honor and Glory/401 plus songs like Lakonia theme is good times
It would be such a pleasure to explore the Queen Mary how she was, engines intact and everything in place as it should have been.
Beautiful work! The whole team should be proud of what they’ve done so far. The music is especially lovely. I hope there will be a soundtrack released along with the game. I’d totally listen to the Empress of Ireland theme just on its own.
Amazing
Only one word comes to mind seeing this, wich is simply: marvelous... great work, i cant wait to play this (also pls make ships drivable (if possible ofc) ❤❤❤❤
4:14 my pet rock almost had a heart attack
Cant wait!
This looks to be superb! I love the idea that the ships might be populated with passengers and crew in relevant style of their time rather than with empty decks etc.. It would be exactly like time travel!
This may be a given, but please do the Olympic Class, that would be so cool!
Olympic only will do.
I can't wait to create content for this one! I just hope the laptop I'm using can handle the graphics though.
Imagine something like this in vr 🤩
I’m sure this question may get asked a lot, but has there been any consideration about adding the Olympic class in eventually? I can understand as just as you explained in the video, that the Aquitania will be such a large model let alone the Olympic class. But to think how much, I’m sure everyone including myself would love to experience the Olympic class, no matter the ship, in a dry dock in all the types of settings the game permits, would just be awesome to do. Good stuff mate, can’t wait to see the project further down the line :)
The Lakonia theme gave me the feels.
I am so excited omg
