- An important Royalist city during the war of the three kingdoms faithfully recreated from the year 1642. Herefordians should recognise parts of this video and should serve as a great tool for educators and people that are passionate about history. The project will see an eventual release on steam and will be available to anyone world wide.
Please let me know what you think, I am happy to hear from you and I answer the comments.

Made with Unreal Engine 5 by Jack Hodges from Burghill Hereford.
So impressive and worthwhile. What a great use of technology to bring history to life. It may be none of my/our business but there would be many people that would be interested in understanding your personal journey. Your motivations, what keeps you going etc as an example of how incredible things are made. I doubt there's a living soul that wouldn't love to create something of their own as impressive as this but are at a loss to know where to begin their journey and how to keep going or even what specifically is so important to them that they would be willing to go down the rabbit hole head first.
I continue to be awe struck with what you're doing with this. I work in the Black and White House Museum, and it's literally like being transported into our 3d diorama, which has entranced generations of visitors. You've brought it all to life. Thank-you so much!!
Keep up the good work man!
Wahaaay, its looking really great, really coming together visually now. Can't wait to try it out.
Hey I will keep people informed as to when they can try it. Thanks for the kind comment.
Damn Jack, incredible work! Can only imagine how much energy & hours you've put into researching, developing & creating this! Really look forward to playing this one day. Cheers, Ed
Hey Ed so glad you like it, still quite a long way to go but the main parts are in place now. Its has taken a lot of time, I am in my fourth year now. I enjoy working on it very much. Yes I hope you get to play it.
Genuinely incredible what you've done 👏 👏 👏
Thats very kind of you thank you. Hope to make it the best i can. All the best.
This is looking really good! Its clear that you have a detailed knowledge of Hereford and have gone to great lengths to replicate real life in this experience. Good for you! The scale of the world youve created is really impressive. You've got alot of potential for a variety of experiences that could use this - VR, cultural heritage, narrative games, exploration games, augmented reality trails using some of the buildings you’ve built. Keep up the good work!
Thank you, its got the foundation to build upon now, Lots of ideas about game mechanics and gameplay related things on lists that I do after play testing. Not going to aim for the stars but if it has some quality playability I will be happy. I could go down several roads with it as you pointed out. If it slowly evolves it could be good. Cheers
This is awesome. So calming environment. You should integrate MonadGPT with the NPCs so that we could talk to them in old English language!
Looking good jack, lots of progress since last update. Keep it going!
Thanks for the kind words. Will keep on going, there is life left in me yet.
Had a peek at your channel and found this. Really cool idea and I wish you all the best with it.
Q. Why don't you just make a walking simulator with a modern tourist and triggered events?
Started off as an Art/Historical project but then started adding some gameplay elements for interest. Not quite sure what it will end up being.
3 years in so far and still so many things it would be nice to add.
Glad you like it.
@@Hereford1642 It works as a historical project, you just want a twist. Use it as an foundation, why not? And make money in the interim. Anywho, I wish you all the best of luck, it's genuinely impressive what you and your old man have done.
What did you use as reference for Hereford Castle? It would have been nice to see more of it.
I used a couple of different sources mainly maps and then I was given a drawing that was made by a local artist used in museums. It was only then I saw that it had a large main gate house with bridge. I think further research and work is needed as I didnt know that the castle would be such a big attraction for people.
@@Hereford1642 There's a lot to research there. According to Leland, it was comparable to Windsor at its peak. As far as I can recall it would have been in disrepair by 1642. Trying to find accurate drawings is really difficult. There was an idea that it was built by William I, but it's also very possible that it pre-dates the Norman Conquest, but was still constructed in that style.
