I have to tell you guys that I think this is quite possibly my favorite topic on this website.

Jeffrey and I continue to discuss your ideas. Orazio’s motivation has been for a more immersive and realistic world from the beginning and he’s has done so much to make that happen. I plan to hit him up tonight in a PM for yet another favor. Now that…[Read more]

@ Jack,

Thanks for the enthusiastic comment. We are pretty proud of our work and its just going to get better.

@ Old Timer,

Yes

Based on your input Jeffrey and I had a long discussion and we are gonna change a bunch of items. I have more new items in the works as well that will modify other skills.

Books: Our plan is that you have to take the time to read them (like in Mount and Blade mods). Based on your intelligence level that will determine how many at a time you can…[Read more]

OK GREAT NEWS! We got it all working right. Thanks to a long conference call between Jeffrey and I we have everything working. Let me test this for a couple of hours and we will get it out to everyone right away.

Some really neat stuff in here. Jeffrey and I are still working on new and better water (work in progress) but we now have SEAFOAM on…[Read more]

Eventually a bunch of characters will have more outfits. My first attempts at character textures were very amateurish and I am reworking a bunch of them now that I have got really good at this. So the Hans Sloane texture (Dr. House) with the white hair is getting a complete overhaul because so many don’t like him.

There were almost several other…[Read more]

Sorry folks, There is something wrong in the update and I can’t get the game to run. Can’t test if it won’t run.

Will get this out to everyone as soon as it works.

MERRY CHRISTMAS anyway!

MK

WOW! Feedback! Amazing! Love it! Keep it coming.

So I’ve been traveling and just arrived at my destination this evening. So I am just now seeing this and just now getting Jeffrey’s combined update. I will test it tomorrow so that we can get it out to everyone for a Christmas present.

SO yeah just as Vincent stated, as long as you have a spare…[Read more]

Lots of new screenshots on my flickr site.…[Read more]

I want that booty!

@ Vincent, You might want to consider getting an optimizer utility. I’ve used a bunch of different ones over the years. NVIDIA themselves used to have a great one. The one I use now is embedded in my paid full AVG suite and is called Turbo mode. If its a good one it will allow you to tune and tailor what things/programs/services will be…[Read more]

Update almost complete. One more day until full download goes to Jeffrey. I have to travel north on the 6th so this is my last day to get the last little things in this batch of stuff – ITS HUGE – and I hope people realize how many hundreds of hours have gone into it and the sacrifice of one of my best friends in the process who I would never have…[Read more]

Ran into these while doing some research on Spanish websites. HOT HOT HOT!!!

Alexander,

Thanks! If only there were more like you. Much more would have been completed long ago.

Its funny because Jeffrey and I had already discussed this very thing in just the recent past. Part of what our legal team has done is quantify what is public domain and what is our owned content. This is why future packaging of our gaming offerings will be in two part downloads. The new MAELSTROM game engine itself and all of the exclusive self…[Read more]

MY FRIEND IS GONE

My friend is gone. No good-bye or farewell – he’s just gone. About a year and a half ago I came home to my house in Louisiana from a long trip to Idaho to find a surprise. I have been traveling and going back and forth between the two states a lot the last several years – living many months at a time in both locations. Idaho is…[Read more]

Just put up a whole bunch of new screenshots. MK

Here’s how I feel about this screenshots…[Read more]

All new ships are completely integrated and all new textures/skins are finished. Only a couple of more characters left. Here is a list of the new characters and here are some teasers.

Nicolas de Larraspuru : (I used Basil Rathbones face) This guy was a real actual assassin who worked for the Spanish crown and the Inquisition in…[Read more]

Awesome work Orazio as always. Your work continues to inspire me to do more and do better. Thank you for that!!!!

I have been working away myself on the update which has grown three times in size from my original intent.

I got especially crazy with two of the sterns on the Frigate_MB. I created two new variants since you stern mapping – Besides…[Read more]

Well here we are again on MK’s lonely screen shots thread. Here are some for those who remain interested of some of the new ships. This new update has a larger more diverse pallet of ships than I have offered in years. Three times more than I intended – and some of these are my best work yet.…[Read more]
