Fanstratics - A Spiritual Successor from the lead game designer of Heroes of Might and Magic III
- by HeroOfPunk
Fanstratics is a work in progress from Gregory W. Fulton (lead designer of HoMM 3).
Scouting the website of the so far quite mysterious project we can spot a mighty cavalier (as depicted in the picture in this article) with arrows piercing the ground around it.
While not much is known about the project so far (except it being in pre-alpha production) it seems to be combining fantasy, strategy and tactics, much like what we see in the Heroes of Might and Magic-series. That in combination with the fact that Gregory Fulton himself calls it "A Spiritual Successor" to the classic Heroes of Might and Magic 3 is enough to get our hearts racing.
Signing up to the newsletter on the website does give us something of a road map, stating that Pre-alpha is next, followed by financing, then going on to Alpha and after that heading into mid-alpha (with possible early access) and so forth.
To receive news from the project, there's a newsletter to sign up to which is found here!
In case you are struck with Greg Fulton fever just like we are, you can check out this interview
What do you think Gregory W Fulton is up to? Will we see something similiar to Heroes of Might and Magic, or maybe something completely new?
Can you spot any more references or any hidden easter eggs in the picture? Let us know in the comments!

Tim Lang joins Sybernethy's M&M Twitch Stream
- by Sibernethy/Super Goober and Pol
UPDATE:
Due to massive state-wide internet outage in Idaho, this stream was re-scheduled to Friday June 26th.
We're getting ready to do a Might and Magic stream at June 19th and people are welcome to send us questions about either Might and Magic or the new game that Tim is working on, called Aeolwyn's Legacy. :)
Does that sound good?
https://www.dungeonbyte.com/post/tim-joins-sibernethy-on-twitch
Come join us on Friday, June 19 at 7PM Eastern/4PM (ie 11PM UTC+0 or 1AM UTC+2)
Important info! Tim's site changed, now you will find everything, on his new site dungeonbyte.com. Including his latest demo update.
If you would like to speak with Tim about Aeolwyn's Legacy, you are invited to join him at Discord.
At this moment itch.io wasn't accesbile but I'm too excited. Check the demo download link, let see excerpt below.
There's a new build of the demo up that fixes some bugs. It will probably be the last of the demo build for a while as I'm building out the world terrain for Chapter One! Here's a preview video: (don't mind getting stuck on the roof of the tavern
There's some pretty exciting stuff about the new world map. Firstly, it's huge. the full size is 16km x 8km. Secondly, it will be a seamless world. You'll be able to walk from one end of the world to the other without a single level load (though you may get a hiccup once in a while). I didn't think I was going to be able to support that, but I've got some tech from Procedural Worlds that's working great.

Euthia: Torments of Ressurection, Tabletop game on Kickstarter
- by CH - Administrator
"An Epic Competitive Board Game Inspired by RPG Video Game Classics. For 1-4 Players."
The game is already funded at Kickstarter 
Of course, you can still join. Check in following videos what is that about.
Need to say, that game was first released a year ago, at our small CZ market. So it's well playtested. And now it's being released again, worldwide.
If you would like to test it, you can check it at Tabletopia, see links at the bottom.
Maps are random, pick your hero, and in the end, if you survive, you have the honour to fight the dragon. This will take you time to learn ;)
The game looks great, for US$ 95+ (6kg) box you can get also figurines to paint, for a bit more they offer a STL files to print them yourself at 3D printer. And you can't die here, which comes with a price.
Euthia: Torment of Resurrection is a competitive strategic role-playing board game set in an open fantasy world. Players choose one of five heroes and uncover a modular map full of quests, precious natural resources, and dangerous enemies. The heroes gain experience, learn unique skills, obtain new equipment and treasure, and explore places of elemental power.
