    Welcome. Once you're added to the provisional group, I'll contact you by PM. @Armada

    Need Help Question about a ceremony

    Check the book Master and Commander. Close to the beginning, Aubrey takes command of HMS Sophie and the process is related in enough detail. I can't look for you at the moment.

    As in the Mount and Blade TW forum? I knew the name Radetzky sounded familiar...

    Game Promotion: Laying the Foundation

    EYE CANDY!?!?!? Those people stacked pennants AND flags on the FOREMAST. How could anyone support them after that?

    Game Promotion: Laying the Foundation

    Think of it this way... If they fail, we won't have to worry about dealing with a game with the same subject and name as ours.

    Game Promotion: Laying the Foundation

    They'll run into serious downfalls with the MMO aspect of the game if they want any open-world stuff and realistic sailing. Two words: Time Compression. You just can't do it in multiplaayer.

    Where was that!? I didn't see anything like it.

    NEW Development Trailer?

    It isn't actually even a ship. But my point is that with an experienced modeler focusing on just that one vessel, it shouldn't take anywhere near as long as usual.

    NEW Development Trailer?

    Getting that particular ship ready for the trailer shouldn't take too long. All we need are ships, sailing, and a narrator.

    NEW Development Trailer?

    Yep. We're getting to the point where we'll have enough story content to make a really good spoiler-free trailer. I'd like to get the main character's ship built first, though.

    IDEA: Actual Meeting of PiratesAhoy! Members

    The National Maritime Museum is in Greenwich, London. You can access all the exhibits for free except the one payed exhibit. The Cutty Sark is two minute's walk away from the museum, and it's definitely worth seeing. Both took me about a day. From London, you can take a train to Portsmouth...

    IDEA: Actual Meeting of PiratesAhoy! Members

    And those of us who can't make one meeting might find it easier to make some other meeting. I found @Captain Armstrong 's idea of sailing on Niagara particularly interesting, although an actual training sail is at minimum a 3-week commitment. That's enough of an event for people like @Luke...

    NEW Development Trailer?

    I agree. And that's why I'd propose two trailers, one development, and one storyline. To maximize their usefulness, I'd suggest releasing them a few weeks apart.

    NEW Development Trailer?

    I don't think you understood what I was saying. I know all that. What I am saying is that the sails we used in the video were flat pieces of cloth. Sails actually have shape, and do not work well without their shape. Look at the sail in this picture for example: Look at how there is a...

    NEW Development Trailer?

    CM posted as I was writing. That still leaves the issue of getting the sheets and gaff positioned correctly on the hoy. If everything is set dead center, it will look horrible to those who sail, and I think it will represent HOO poorly.

    NEW Development Trailer?

    The problem was with how the cloth simulation in the engine worked. The sails were just flat, while all real sails are cut to have actual 3 dimensional depth so that they can draw wind correctly. The only depth in the video came from elastic stretching.

    NEW Development Trailer?

    I already have a theme being specifically made by Flannery for the trailer. The one thing we'll really need is realistic sails. The ones in the earlier video were a good demonstration, but they aren't even close to being good enough to showcase the game. Now do we need the sails to actually...
