DEVELOPMENT UPDATES

I've been rather neglecting these updates here of late, which is not because of a lack of available content, it's more a struggle on my part to nail the design I've been trying to achieve, and therefore getting so mentally drained that I'm always falling asleep before...

It's been a bit of a mixed bag today, with a bit of everything going on in the project. I've been working on an alternative lighting method for the ship internals in an effort to improve performance on lower-spec machines, and to that end, I've now got a solution for...

Remember that fun challenge I mentioned in the last update? Well... it's been an adventure that's for sure! I've been working on the A Deck corridor, which (as discussed already) is going to be an architectural centrepiece. I've been spending a lot of time on it over...

It feels like every time I blink another day has passed by, and with only 17 days to go before we reach 100 days I'm keen to cram in as much dev time as possible I've been working further on the A Deck structure, adding some final refinements and detail to the design....

Work has continued on both the A Deck midsection and the updated engineering standards that are being used to build it. In a nutshell, all decks will have a surrounding cavity of at least 50cm that is formed from a grid of structural members. The outer layer will be a...

Ever since I first started working on the Magellan Class, I've also been working on what you might call some "engineering standards" for the ship's construction. That's things like the thickness of the sheet metal (2.5cm), the width of the vertical stiffeners (5cm),...

Work continues apace on the new Bridge design, and by extension the rest of A Deck as well. I've refined the shape a bit more and added in the proper grooves for securing the windows in place; I've also added in the track for the blast shielding, which will rise up to...
