Titanic: Honor and Glory is a video game developed by Vintage Digital Revival since 2012. The game is set to become the most accurate digital representation of the RMS Titanic , as well as a model of the city of Southampton in 1912. The game is not only intended to be entertaining, but also to be a historical teaching tool and memorial to all those who lost their lives in the disaster. A release date is not known.
Gameplay
The game's story focuses on 23 year old American Owen Robert Morgan. After being mistaken for an international criminal, he boarded the Titanic to find the real culprits. As soon as the player is on board the ship, the player must carry out certain tasks of a real crewman and secure a cabin of their own. As soon as the "Titanic" reaches the iceberg, the player has 2 hours and 40 minutes to solve the puzzle.
There are three additional game modes planned to be integrated into the game. The most prominent is the "Tour Mode" which allows the player to explore both the ship and the city of Southampton at leisure, without the limitations of the story mode. The next mode, "Simulator Mode", gives the player the ability to control the Titanic and possibly other ships in the open ocean. The last game mode planned is the "multiplayer mode", which is still in the concept phase. This will contain two sub-modes: Sinking Mode and Voyage Mode. The latter enables players to experience the Titanic together. Deck games and passenger services will also be available.

attitude
Titanic: Honor and Glory is used in April 1912 from the tenth to the eighteenth of the month or maybe even later to mark the arrival of RMS Carpathia in New York and the consequences of the eponymous catastrophe. At the center of the story is the Titanic's maiden transatlantic voyage, while an explorable model of the city of Southampton, England is to be developed (with plans for Belfast and Queenstown, Ireland, Cherbourg, France, and New York City, USA).

development
Development of the game began in November 2012 after the "Titanic: Lost in the Darkness" mod for Crysis 2 was canceled . On December 25, 2012, the first preview of the game was released, showing a flight through the Great Staircase. At the time, the team was using CryEngine 3 to develop the game. The team later switched to Unreal Engine 4 to develop the game . On March 7, 2015, the first preview of the game in Unreal Engine 4 was uploaded to YouTube . It showed an almost sinking animation of the D-Deck reception almost in real time. A playable walk-through demo was released on April 7, 2015, showing some select areas of the ship including the D-deck reception, Scotland Road and the Turkish bath. The demo can be downloaded from the official homepage. A podcast was held on July 30, 2015 to provide information about the project. Several previews of the current state of the Grand Staircase were released during the podcast. The official forums started on the same day. The next day, however, the forums were disbanded for reasons unknown. As of January 1, 2016, the forums were not yet available. In November 2015, game producers Thomas Lynskey and Matthew DeWinkeleer went on an 11-day research trip to England. Highlights of the trip included a visit to the White Swan Hotel in Alnwick, England, which is to be featured in the game, and the measurement of the RMS Olympic lounge, which serves as the hotel's dining room.
On April 14, 2016, the team uploaded a real-time animation video showing the sinking of the Titanic on their official YouTube channel to mark the 104th anniversary of the tragedy. There was a live podcast that same evening, with team members commenting on the video while they and the audience watched it together. The video was posted on many news websites. By the end of the month, the video had garnered nearly 7 million views. The video has been received positively by historians and the public alike. Ken Marshal wrote a note to them expressing that, even as an artist and historian, he got a fresh perspective on the sunken ship after watching their video during the podcast.
One of the game's historical advisors, Bill Sauder, was also an adviser on both the 1996 computer game Titanic: Adventure Out of Time and the 1997 film Titanic , as well as an expert panelist on the television special Titanic: The Last Word with James Cameron (National Geographic Channel) in 2012. While researching the project, the team would track down obscure artifacts or surviving parts of Titanic's sister ship "Olympic" to ensure correct replicas. The team made several discoveries over the course of the project that were announced and published, including the layout of certain areas of the ship, the colors of the various items, the order in which events played out that night, and the revelation of a different design in the windows between the first-class dining and reception rooms.
