!Congratulations!

Well Spambot and Gentlemen, we're finally here!
We first started our journey (after having to turn around once to check we'd turned the gas off & closed the front door) 4 years and 26 days ago, just before midnight, with the allmighty Mad_fred at the helm. And boy! What a journey it's been!

We've had new crew join us, old ones stick around, and occasionally the odd unwelcome robot aswell. Unfortunately however, we've also lost a few of our rag-tag crew along the way - Including our old Administrator - Terry Russell. May they forever have fair winds and following seas.

We've seen youngen's blossom and cast off to start a career on the big ol' blue! (Jack, I'm looking at you here...) How many other forums and topics can boast that, eh?
There's been the odd argument and more swearing (well, red asterisks) than would be considered healthy for every day consumption, but it was all in the name of fun. We've been visited by a Swedish tomato who liked to "tooooooot" alot, a Dutch sailor who also occasionally grumbles and yells about trains, We've been visited by a man who seems to be obsessed with everything ferry related (who's now a qualified naval architect, don't ya know!) and Wave Music who was always... Well, Wave Music?!

We've started countless trends, and adopted the odd one or two aswell! Who could forget the the rainbow text, the really small font sizes, 'sı sıɥʇ ɹǝʌǝʇɐɥM and the "Officially unofficial Ship simulator forum advent calender"? Yes Spambot and gentlemen, we really have seen it all, or have we? I don't know, but I do know we're bound to find out!

Here's to the next 1,000 pages!

I'm currently using the free version until I get the hang of it.
Licenses cost around â‚¬1500,- for the pro version, which is quite cheap opposed to engines like CryEngine who demand 20% of the game's revenue when in commercial use.

The free version includes enough content to create a good concept with. In fact, I believe you may use it to create small earning titles below â‚¬100.000,-

Btw, congrats on opening the 1000th page!

Either C# or a version of Javascript called "Unityscript". It also supports Boo,

Captain Cadet · « **Reply #24979 on:** December 03, 2013, 00:02:20 »

I have unity on my laptop for some odd reason...
No idea why?

Mr Robville · « **Reply #24980 on:** December 03, 2013, 00:14:45 »

It must be a sign.

Unity does indeed feature CSharp as well as Javascript and several other languages such as Boo. But for the most part only C# and JS are being used. I guess because they are simply most widely used/applicable.

Captain Cadet · « **Reply #24981 on:** December 03, 2013, 00:19:17 »

I can say hello world in C# and do basic console games
And that's about it
I do very basic HTML and CSS though

Just here to post on the 1000th page at last.

Rbsanford · « **Reply #24985 on:** December 03, 2013, 20:52:16 »

Wow, it actually feels like a new year. A new age...

The Ferry King · « **Reply #24986 on:** December 06, 2013, 09:26:35 »

Well off to 2000 pages then,
i guess judging by the rate at which new posts are added, we'll get there probably in the next decade

GeoP17 · « **Reply #24987 on:** December 06, 2013, 13:55:56 »

well, the first post was on September 08, 2009 so i believe that we'll get to 2000 page on April 3-9, 2017

Consequently, carry on guys

11/12/13 today!

Won't happen for another 100 years, around then we could be celebrating 15000 pages...?

GeoP17 · « **Reply #24991 on:** December 11, 2013, 19:14:35 »

I noticed that to...today 12/12 will be a year since the first ""world destruction""

(the other was considered to be on 21/12)

Captain Cadet · « **Reply #24992 on:** December 11, 2013, 20:31:45 »

Hopefully the world wont end in the next week or so as i just completed a 26 page assignment all about how the internals of a computer work while doing other 20 pages assignments! I have not lost a week of my social life for nothing

GeoP17 · « **Reply #24993 on:** December 11, 2013, 20:40:46 »

No, the world was considered to be destroyed a year before either at 12/12/12 or at 21/12/12 as mayas and "2012" movie said...I never believed in those predictions (faaakeee
