Re: Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era unveiled at Gamescon

Wow.. looks like the towns are true 3D after all and not the 2D within a 3D plane diorama/parallax trick I was originally thinking.. although I do still wonder if there's some sort of diorama illusion and you can't go full 360 camera rotation.

Re: Silence of Siren

Looks like they've done another nice dev diary on day and night cycles that appear to change the city screen too which is cool. Some of those alien planets look really nice under darkness with lots of glowing plants and things. https://steamcommunity.com/games/2147380/announcements/detail/4262180872...

Well it did mostly work thanks to his mod.. past tense.. As Ubisoft have patched the game again.. my copy is currently downloading a big 6GB patch.

Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era Announced

Wow.. Ubisoft have just announced a new Heroes of Might & Magic game called Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era that is not their usual mobile pay to win shovelware and surprisingly even uses the original HoMM title instead of their usual Ubi style 'Might & Magic: Heroes' name system. It'...

Re: Songs of Conquest 1.0 Arrives with Final Barya Campaign and Console Version Announcement

Interesting to see that the Art Book has a forward from HoMM3 designer Gregory Fulton, wonder if it's because he really likes what they did or if they did a deal where he promotes his HoMM3 like game Fanstratics in there, or both! Looks like they've hit half a mil players and have already announced ...

Old campaign overhauls, new campaigns, maps, graphics, even a new main menu and GUI overhaul to support steam deck, new castle si...
