About
This project is a fun, functional multi-player game public to all Roblox users where the character can go explore the Titanic ship with historic elements within the ship, like a board that would have actually been on it during the time period, for example. Players will be able to complete different tasks on the ship while trying to survive its sinking. This is an interactive, educational game.
Project Goal
The goal of this project is to make a historically educational Roblox game with various “in-the-time-period” elements and moments connected, for example, displayed on the Titanic ship that the player will delve into. Stepping away from the cinematized history of the Titanic, we want to be able to provide an authentic take.
