Lounge Panelling & Ship Customisation

I've been working on the main window panels for the VIP Lounge, and while they're not finished yet, I'm definitely liking the aesthetic they're starting to bring to the lounge; They've been a complete pain to get right due to all the curves and angles involved, but...

Lounge Panelling

I've spent the past couple of days making more wall panelling for the VIP Lounge, which sounds simple at face value but it's quite a time-consuming process. Each individual panel is unique, frustratingly curvy, and also made as a separate 3D model in its own right:...

B Deck Areas

It feels like you need only blink and a whole week has gone by these days. I've been hard at work cutting out wall panels for the VIP Lounge (which has actually been a right pain), in addition to fleshing out some of B Deck's back rooms. This is the floorplan of B...

VIP Lounge Framework

I've made a slight adjustment to the side sections of the lounge framework so it better reflects the curve of the outer hull: This will also define the shape of the wall panels, and I like the idea that the internal wall layout is informed by the physical structure of...

VIP Lounge Framework

Last Friday we lost our power during storm Eunice here in the UK, and it wasn't actually restored until Tuesday evening! Still, some people had to face much bigger problems (and still do), so a mere 4 days without power was actually fairly lucky with 80-90mph winds...

DAY 100!!

DAY 100 Wow, I can't believe we're at 100 days already! It's been a fun (and at times tiring) challenge to work on the game every single day without break, but despite struggling to keep up with daily updates in the last month, I did finally make it to the end! I...

Days 98 & 99

I was hoping to get the VIP Lounge framework finished before the big 100th-day update (and I still might manage it!), but for now, it's still very much a work in progress. As part of the A Deck overhaul, I really wanted to make the lounge area less boxy, and with the...

Days 95 to 97

Only three days left! I have to admit these last few weeks have been a bit of a struggle to keep up. Time seems to be flying by so quickly! I've been working on taking my modelling skills to the next level by learning how to work with subdivisions properly. As a...

Day 94

Just a quickie before I head to bed, I've taken the design language of the conference room and built both the Captain and XO offices using the same style. I'll add some moulded shelving units to the wooden areas, and have a free-standing sculpted desk in the middle....
