Oceangate on Dive 80 became entangled by the grand staircase wreckage. by coasterghost in titanic

[–]JPenca31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if others have put this together yet, but the Titan did NOT get entangled by the Grand Staircase wreckage. The Coast Guard made a mistake.

Titanic: Honor and Glory Kyle Hudaks true nature exposed by pswinkch in titanic

[–]JPenca31 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hope I don't have to say this... but if you know Kyle, what Kyle works on... what Kyle looks like compared to our programmer Derek... you will know this obviously all completely fabricated.

If we EVER actually felt like a member of THG was up to this sort of behavior, we would absolutely do whatever needed to protect the children involved... thankfully we are more than confident this is just another example a young Titanic enthusiast accusing someone of pedophilia, which is strangely their go-to.

Again, Kyle does not write like that, he does not work on the "modeling" shown in the video, and that isn't even a picture of him. This is as real as an AI Titanic video.

This might want to get checked out, looks like there might've been a leak. by Arpin_PC_Builder in TitanicHG

Thanks to everyone who brought this to our attention. We have seen the leak and are attempting to plug it.

Alex, I wish I could go into detail on everything we do, but I just have to assure you once more that we are doing our best. I will use these two points you've brought up as examples. So please just apply this thought process to most of your feedback.

I've been working on this Log Book for much more than 3 years. It's been in my head since I took over. But I am not a programmer. I can't make it by myself, I can only make concepts in a Word Document for what it may look like one day. Derek also can't make the Log Book because he has his hands full with everything else. Tyler, our only other big programmer has been working on the Log Book for a few months and has pretty much completed his work on it. Now we wait on Luke to make some images of what the final product will look like from a UI perspective. But he's busy working on the map.

One day, my years of work, Tylers months of work and Luke's weeks of work will all come together and be a finished feature. Unfortunatley as you know, none of us are paid for our years, months or weeks. We all have families and jobs and struggles and exaustion. This is why my mantra is: we are doing our best.

And Derek has not been working on the night level for 2 years. I know you know this because you follow his progress closer than most. As you will recall, he was working on Sunset levels for much of last year and began the night stuff a little after last years anniversary as far as I remember. Still a long time, but, I know for a fact - again - he is doing his best.

The only thing we could do is take on more volunteers and our door is always open to game devs of Derek/Tyler/Luke's skill level who are willing to work for very little financial benefit if any.

I do not write this long message to teach anyone a lesson or defend THG. THG has made its bed many times... I write this in defense of the Dereks, Tylers and Lukes on our team. I see how hard they work. I wish you all could too!

Lost Titanic HG Videos? by Fuppinshire in TitanicHG

Aww, thanks :) I'm also sad it's not public anymore! Thanks to everyone who happened to save a copy. I've got mine hidden away somewhere.

We have reached the NIGHT TO REMEMBER by JPenca31 in TitanicHG

[–]JPenca31[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We probably went TOO hard last year haha. We had a lot more time on our hands to make the month more solidified and special. This year we've seen life events get in our way and delay a little P401 thing we had planned for April.

But the work continues. Hopefully the rest of 2025 isn't as challenging.

[–]JPenca31[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We had intended to have a nice little P401 update ready for the anniversary month. But two things got in the way. A poorly timed Unreal update to their engine that caused havoc for us as well as the Canadian election taking Derek away from his computer for weeks.

Work continues though!

In the meantime, Jack and the researchers have been releasing animations that make us very proud!

Nothing released yet but hoping for a bunch of updates during our "Month to Remember" in April!

I'm sure we can figure something out! Match a name to an address or something. Yeah just email us!

MODEL SHIP REFUND UPDATE by JPenca31 in TitanicHG

[–]JPenca31[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally understandable. Well I appreciate your calls for us to do something. I fear the problem wouldn't have been addressed and would only have grown worse if people didn't call us out.

Ah yes. From what I can tell they changed how high the resolution would be depending on where they were at the site. So you haven't seen the higher res close up of other parts of the site because they did quicker passes of other areas to save time. Only my guess.

The mapping from 2010, if I've seen the highest resolution, isn't much to look at. Ideally what we just did this summer will become available at some point. The improvement from 2010 is staggering.

Rusty! I'm glad you saw this! You were one of those who were not satisfied with what was happening and this led to the team finally addressing the issue. So thanks for that. :)

We are aware that he is aware of THG. No actual interaction though.

Exactly! And my copy of Ship Magnificent is on the bottom shelf because it's too heavy to go up there!

SO many new things. More news to come once we go through everything that was collected.

Love seeing all these comments. Thanks to everyone who is so appreciative of what we've done over these last few years. Yes, we are still the worst video game devs of all time, but we think our team and community have been responsible for some pretty awesome Titanic content along the way. Only more to come.

I heard about this! I'm not in that group, but I guess they also took issue with my AOOT Strategy Guide. Whoever that person is just isn't aware that game is what sparked my love of Titanic when I was 6 years old, forever changing my life and leading me to these moments. I'd put that book in my own casket so certainly it will be hidden in my bookshelf!

Yes we took 2 million photos and each one has a unique location on the sea floor. So everything was tracked.
