Even with little experience with real-time engines, the team was able to get up to speed quickly. To bring these projects to life, Vintage Digital Revival was drawn to Unreal Engine for its visual performance and ease of use. Each video runs the length of the actual sinking event from an exterior perspective, and includes sound effects and text overlays about the events, crew members, and passengers. To bring attention to the project, Lynskey and his team first created a series of videos about sinking disasters including the SS Atlantic and HMHS Britannic, and then the Titanic itself.
While there are already many museums and films devoted to the ship and its sinking, Titanic: Honor and Glory is already the most comprehensive recreation, and will be the first project to represent all its spaces in detail.
In an effort to recreate the Titanic’s interior and exterior as accurately as possible, the team has tapped historians, writers, artists, and collectors to amass a comprehensive collection of plans, photos, interviews, and other documentation related to the Titanic’s design. Titanic: Honor and Glory is a combination virtual museum and whodunit game currently under development by the team’s newly-formed company, Vintage Digital Revival, where Lynskey is Creative Director.
