Short News 23' Feb 17

Unread postby {CH}ArticleBot » 17 Feb 2023, 11:45

Fat Thursday is over and we can focus back on the gaming world.

fheroes2 version 1.0.1

With various fixes of animations, shadows, AI and so forth there comes Android version, playable on phones (certainly like 6.5") or tablets. Check for the full annoucement here.

The game is mature now and goes toward new campaigns and new maps features, including new map format to escape possible license issues in the feature. So, as I see it, it will be closer to h3-wog designing but saved in some open map format?

Anyway, now when you will be bored you can pack it with yourself, same as with VCMI and play just the most best comforting maps. Image

New Games are coming
  • Age of Wonders 4 is going to be released at May 2 2023, seems more and more like 4X strategical steampunk game
  • Songs of Silence, not much I see about it, this sentence resonated for me the most: "Our goal for you: complete a whole map in a single evening!"
  • Civilisation VII in development! Ed Beach will continue as creative director. A very short annoucement comes from the twitter

Pls note, that this news was a bit belated, so at 23.2 some of these things would be served pretty fresh. But RL happens, so it's pushed out now. :libra:

Thanks mighty EvilP, for noticing the games!

Newsletter 32: No HoMM3 stories this time as Greg is still unwell. Interestingly he tackles the scam accusation some have thrown his way.

Newsletter 34 is here. This time Greg tells the story of his first time discovering WinAmp & MP3s and how 3DO being cheap forced NWC to develop their own MP3 decoder for Heroes 3 so they could get the whole thing on one disc.

Newsletter 36 is here. This time Greg talks about the whole lost Heroes of Might & Magic 3 Complete source code situation mentioning how it has actually been found and given to Ubisoft in 2019 (wow I missed the news on that) to fix up their HD remake yet nothing has occurred. Also noticed people seem to be voting for it in this steam thread and getting the usual PR marketing responses from Ubisoft lol.
