Releasing concept art is better than releasing game in early access, like Songs of Conquest. Weshould learn from Duke Nukem Forever - game was perfect before release. And Star Citizen is in even better shape and doing financially well - beacause Chris Reynolds understands the Truth - releaseing the game only harms business.

Most interesting thing there was the fact that supposedly HoMM3 is top seller on GoG. Surprisingly HoMM4 is also doing pretty good, would have expected HoMM5 to be ahead of it.

you can buy HOMM 5 easily on Steam

the original HOMM 3 (not the shitty HD cashgrab) and HOMM 4 is only in GOG as far digital goes

I will say this once again in his defense; from the very beginning, this was posited as a "shooting for the moon" type project.
If you're expecting a game to be delivered in the next few years, prepare to be let down. I'm just enjoying following the development, while focusing on other things.

Fanstratics Question: Do you have a map of the world? Or at least tell us how it will look approximately.

Months ago, I rendered a first draft ‘map of the world’, but I wasn’t happy with it. How factions relate to one another geographically, is somewhat story sensitive, and the fine details of the overall story have yet to be finalized. When the time is right, I will tackle it again, but I suspect this will not occur until after the crowd funding campaign.

Vapourware status confirmed. It will not even reach prototype stage.

The 'big' finale to the pizza hut story as arrived lol... Man his stories really keep going and going don't they haha.. although he did successfully trigger a lot of nostalgia for me as much like him I remember getting my first 286 computer with no VGA card lol, all the hours I spent tinkering with stuff learning how to edit config sys and autoexec bat to eek out those extra bits of conventional memory some memory hog games like Master of Magic needed lol. Also reminded me of the first time I discovered Might & Magic 3 and then MM4&5 World of Xeen, however by then it was late 90s, so they were less technically amazing but I loved playing them nonetheless.

It has some inner music at least, alliteration and such. Idiotic, yes, but with some elusive charm. Fan-Stra-Tics is just a Lovecraftian monstrosity.

To be serious, the name is not the main reason I think it will end with silent empty fart.

Everything about this screams that it will be shit if it ever exists, but yeah, the name is just a special kind of retarded.
