Really nice. It really look like an old article in an old book.

The Donald Trump ego is 16 854 tons and 670 feet long, its 6 feet more than the NY Trump tower ! Pretty huge IMO.
More seriously, this is very well made, an ultra specific kink but very qualitative, it evokes for me a whole imagination made up of engine room, workers with faces blackened by coal, brass chimneys and people with good manners who dress with distinction.
Thanks so much for checking it out! I was very much in a strange mood when inspired to make this-- reading and savouring the nostalgia of those old engineering publications (eg. r/OceanLinerArchitect). And it was a good chance to explore a number of narrative / seeded random procedural techniques.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
You're welcome Aaron. I always liked boats, believe it or not but I was drawing a ton of 2D boats sectional view as a kid, I also always been in love with plans and technical drawing, seeing the interior of those floating cities as always been a kink too. I would have love to make a visual Victorian/steampunk boat generator.
Maybe I will steal you this idea for the next procjam edition, who knows... 😁 Watabou also made a ship generator this year too
My original hope was to make a generator for those sectional views-- but I quickly realised just how complex that was (given my strengths) for now, and a narrative flavour was much closer to "doable during the time-frame". It's on my "want to do someday" things.
But I'd love to see you do a procedural ship profile thing!
Your idea was really sexy, I already see the picture, its a lot of work indeed, but I didn't see anything too complex in term of procgen. Oh you too have a "to do list", don't put too much thing in it, cause death have a list too and we are also on it :)
So maybe we will sail the highs seas on the next Procjam who knows. A U-boat generator can be cool too... without the nazis inside.
I know i'm going nerdy here, but hey, ever heard of the RV flip ? I saw that the other day, now its just my favorite ship of all time, and I think you can be interest in that.
