Here's the quarter three rundown for 2024.

This is to continue providing some more openness in how Vintage Digital Revival and our efforts to create all things Titanic is being run.

Income

From January to September, amazing people on Patreon gave a total of $83,573.01.

YouTube ad revenue was $18,297.72.

Donations via PayPal totaled $574.50.

The percent reserved from Britannic: Patroness of the Mediterranean sales was $1,306.80.

Licensing provided $25,192.00.

Sales, which came from WeTransfer purchases of the THG Deck Plans, were $141.60 (same as from all of Quarter 1 and 2 - it's stopped.)

Miscellaneous and other income (some crew pay refunded) was $581.22.

Total income for 2024 so far is $129,666.85.

Expenses

Crew pay to fifteen of the VDR team members was $86,755.17.

Refunds sent out for more of the hand-painted model ships were $15,394.08. More will be discussed about this at the end!

Misc. crew pay (contractors and former crew obligations) was $8,832.70 (same as Quarter 1 and 2.)

Subscriptions such as website hosting, clouds, etc., were $3,819.25.

Research costs totaled $1,950.38.

Postage that was mainly for sending Officers' Perks was $1,749.93.

Art and design costs were $1,142.54.

And miscellaneous costs and business expenses were $8,197.37. These also include PC parts (Jack got a PC upgrade.)

Total expenses for Quarter 1-3, 2024 were $127,841.42.

So the big news is regarding the model ship refunds. Everyone knows the story. But we are super excited that we have finished refunding 99% of the orders! It took a while utilizing ad and licensing revenue mainly. We still have a handful of people we cannot get in touch with or have had refunds bounce back (usually they do not, even if the credit card used has expired it gets to the person who ordered it.)

If you read this and your order number is below, and you haven't gotten a refund (or if you think you bought a ship and haven't gotten a refund yet) please email us: store@vdr.llc

Could you tell me if you are caught up on your Officer's yearly perks yet? Still waiting!

Titanic: Honor & Glory

Hi Lisa! We haven't sent the new 3D perks that made it to the threshold this month and we're still catching up to the deck plans. This is a reminder for everyone: Physical Officer Perks (deck plans and 3D prints) are sent out after a few months with us. The price change ($50 to $48) threw everything into a little loop, even that $2! So, we appreciate everyone's patience!

Ok, I believe my year mark was August, that's why I was asking!

Jakob Kokalj

Thanks for the update and transparency guys. Sharp picture there 😍

Rik Huggett

I want to know about those of us who made payments at the beginning (pre James Penca days), are we still going to get a free copy of THG + return voyage, or have we been left out to dry?

Titanic: Honor & Glory

We have all the past contribution info and perks such as the Return Voyages, Letters in the Mail Hold, and the free digital copies will be honored!

I'm really excited for this game ever since it first started being developed. I would like to mention a fun fact about the year 1912 when Titanic sunk, my Grandma on my mom's side was born the same year and she lived for 94 years. I actually like the fact and idea that the THG developers are taking their time in creating, developing a 100% true to life replica of the Titanic.

I have been looking forward to trying this game ever since it was released, and I'm going to try it for the first time! I've always been in love with Titanic, ever since reading "A Night To Remember", by Walter Lord. First game I ever played was Titanic: Adventure Out Of Time, and I just couldn't tear myself away from it, constantly getting lost exploring the ship over and over again. I look forward to getting lost once more!

They should make a game like Britannic: Patroness of the Mediterranean but Titanic and that would probably make a decent amount of money, and that would be cool to play around in!

Well, Iam a dev and an officer and I wouldn’t mind licensing it… for the Olympic😏 I guess the 25k is from patroness project? Maybe just deck plans… Should be that H&G would be easy to make like BPoM. The amount of money this project takes in you’d think they could attract more devs… I’m thinking there might be possessive or intellectual property issues here with the team…

I have been following this project for a few years and it is a dream come true. It would be a good idea to incorporate into the project, the interaction with different roles, for example doing the work of a stoker, an officer, a waiter or a cook, a telegraph operator, a chief engineer or a mechanic, or the captain himself............. also going through a simulator where you can do docking maneuvers, or maritime navigation as it was done in the era............. These would be very good ideas to incorporate and promote with many variants in this game that will undoubtedly be a success. Many thanks to the developers for such incredible effort and masterful work.

Ironhell

I think considering the amount of time invested already that the team should focus on the basics and not deviate for now. Maybe after all the core design and gameplay is in can they worry about extras. Can maybe Farm such things out or license the platform after the main objectives have been met. they're having manpower issues as it is.

Hey this is my first post, my suggestion is that I would love to see this on console for those who cannot afford a computer that can load the quality details. When they add new spaces, they could just update the game. It would be a lot less expensive and easier for people to load the game.
