    HMS Unicorn Virtual Museum

    There is a planned update for this in a few days where a few minor issues will be addressed. Then after a few days off, concentrating on the progress with ships for ToW again, I will simultaneously start work on the 2 lower decks of the Unicorn which will be featured in the VR tour when it is...

    Advisory to stay clear of Naval Action.

    There will be some kind of character creator indeed. Just how costumizable is yet not known, as we are testing different systems. The current system allows for good and very varied customization, but before we are further out in the development, I cannot say if that is going to stay like it is...

    Advisory to stay clear of Naval Action.

    Hehehe I would say no The thrills of PVP and the possibility of PvE both in the same world was one of the things that used to be fun in PotBS. Then they started dumbing it down, until there was no challenge anymore at all, and they ruined the echonomy aspect of the game which was fun for the...

    Advisory to stay clear of Naval Action.

    Thanks for that update on PotBS. I might jump on just for fun again then I am nations on Roberts and Pirates on Antigua. I think I am perhaps one of the last still in the old RSS guild. Unless her royal highness kitt still plays and works the echonomy.

    Advisory to stay clear of Naval Action.

    What a shame.... Do you still play PotBS? Has there been any real development there the last year at all? I did follow the Purtalus Games website for quite some time after they took over - hoping they would bring someething good back to it. After a while I just stopped paying attention. Still...

    HMS Unicorn Virtual Museum

    Tonight I have mostly been cleaning up the model for some extra texturing and optimizing. I have now changed the color of the rigging to its proper color, and I have also been working on the finishing textures for the Unicorn Figurehead. Plus a ton of odds and ends that does not really show as...

    HMS Unicorn Virtual Museum

    Indeed it shall But it's allot easier to show off and put textures on correctly when it is not all dark And it's easier to show the work when in lighter color The texture itself will be colored correctly later.

    HMS Unicorn Virtual Museum

    Hello all! A quick update! The event that was to be launched now 14th of May has been moved to the 18th instead. And I am not going to cry about that at all.... heheheh as it gives me time to finish and polish the model in more calm manners. (Flannery walks like a zombie to his desk and...

    HMS Unicorn Virtual Museum

    Hey all! Small and quick update as we are closing in on the first showcase of the "simpler" version of the model - which will later become the more elaborate VR version. This version of the ship is for the WebGL version that the Unicorn Preservation Project will use now 14th in a event to...

    Advisory to stay clear of Naval Action.

    I can second @Noriruru 's take on the game. All though I have not spent a great amount of hours in NA - but that is kind of a pin pointer as well for me, as I played PotBS actively for 4 years, spending probably 3-7 hours online on it almost every day. Until it was ruined of course... and sadly...

    HMS Unicorn Virtual Museum

    Stern Gallery is finished - Only lacking the plaque with the Unicorn name on it. Captain quarters is now closed in with windows and a internal wall and doors out to the gunnery of the Main deck. Now doing the last external details of the hull, rudder/keel, the upper deck and I will start the...

    HMS Unicorn Virtual Museum

    No I have never used any so far. I will probably eventually. But when you have to make deadlines I tend to stick to known methods to make sure I make the deadline...hehehe :cool: But I definitely must say that my background and experience with painting, sculpting and making model planes and...

    HMS Unicorn Virtual Museum

    I searched through the pictures I could find on the internet, I was lucky to find a picture with the figurehead right from the side, which I loaded up in blender and modeled the initial shape over that. I guess the painter in me always look for obvious shapes in the subject to start off from...

    HMS Unicorn Virtual Museum

    Hey all! Thought I would give you a quick look at the work on the HMS Unicorn herself. It is very early in the build - I have only laid out the basics of the hull, stern gallery and rigging. Right now I am working on the Figurhead iteslf - which is almost done - just minor details left, but...

    HMS Unicorn Virtual Museum

    Just to clarify though - the ship in the project right now is a test version of the Swan Sloop I am making for "Tides of War". It is a placeholder while we flush out the concept and test some ideas. It will be swapped out with the HMS Unicorn as soon as it is done. The real deadline is for...

    What are today's best Pirate games?

    Pirates of the burning sea is old. It used to be great, I played it very active for many years. The company who first developed it went down the drain, and a few people from the original team bought the rights to it. The game had already been ruined by this point, and the new owners has just...

    What are today's best Pirate games?

    I would definitely mention Naval Action as well, as they are making it open world. It's still not finished but definitely playable. Battles are very good. Then of course I would like to mention Tides of War: Letters of Marque that me and two other people from the PA community are making...
