Looking good indeed.
By the way, how easy is it to port updates from the Storm 2.0 version?
I suspect it will be a matter of win-merging, but maybe there's more to it than what I imagine without yet having taken a look in the files.

It depends what updates. Major changes that affect engine compatibility can be tricky. When updating storylines, quests etc, you don't have to win-merge anything. It usually works without issues.
Thanks for clarifying!
Looking good.
The top picture though, the shadow seems odd....makes the ship look like it's hovering above the water.
It happens with Storm engine games all the time
it always had it's own imperfections...
The foam looks very good indeed.

Thanks man!
The foam ACTUALLY MOVES!!
No more flat, static textures.
It really looks gorgeous.
How did you and @ChezJfrey pull this off?
What kind of white magic does it take?

No magic, it's Maelstrom. It has it's own 2.8 coastfoam. We have just ported it to New Horizons
I was talking figuratively, of course.
But as they say, "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic".
Since I don't know how it works, for me "Maelstrom" is magic.
And since it is also good, that makes it WHITE magic!
Right?

absolutely
It's so beautiful!
I have made a Reshade preset for this amazing port. You can find more details here:

Here is a sneakpeek:
Before:
After:
I have continued my work on porting the animations and advanced melee system for New Horizons on Maelstrom. It's a huge work to do, cause there are around 1400 character models. So far I have done around 200 of them, but I can't make fast progress because of the work I do for living and the other personal matters that happen to all of us every day. My guess is that it can be finished in about 2-3 months if everything goes well.
