Modern gamedev is such a limpdicked cuckfest

Valuable insights: game modding exists

I want this to be good but i'm a little nervous because Iratus: Lord of the Dead is a terrible game. In theory, it does so many things right, but there is simply very little challenge or strategy.

If the dev did a proper postmortem and learned from their mistakes this could be great.

Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era – Exclusive Hands-On Preview​

The first showcases of Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era weren't received with much optimism, and left fans of the series quite divided. The main culprit seemed to be the graphic design, which not everyone liked. CD-Action had the opportunity to be the first journalist in the world to check whether it is a worthy successor to Heroes III and V. So, let’s have a go at another round, shall we?
The reveal of Heroes: Olden Era at Gamescom in 2024 had a mixed reception. We were given a mere 40-second trailer interspersed with animated scenes that had nothing to do with the game. The great and anticipated return of the Heroes of Might and Magic series was reduced to just a dozen seconds of gameplay (with no interface shown). We’ve seen hundreds of comments around the web about the graphic style chosen by Unfrozen – mostly complaints that it looks like a mobile game. It was mainly the impressions of journalists, who had the opportunity to see extended gameplay and exchange a few words with the developers, that inspired optimism.

As we've clearly seen there is a huge potential in Olden Era, we prepared an “all we know about Heroes: Olden Era” article, gathering all the details scattered across the internet. Meanwhile, to our great surprise, Unfrozen Studio has visited Poland and CD-Action was invited to a closed presentation of Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era – we were able to spend a few hours to test new Heroes. And from this place I can assure you that while I had some doubts about the latest production of Unfrozen before the aforementioned meeting, I have now almost completely gotten rid of them.

Strong feminine vibes from the art direction.

Ironically enough, the artwork for HoMM 1 and 2 were made by women.

I assume it was JVC himself.

i do think the unit and spell art looks great tho
the world map aesthetic is OK not great not awful

but damn those town screens SUCK

 

[Storyfag]

Units are horribly overdesigned. That dark elf infiltrator sneak attack animation was too long by far.

Imagine rage of the guys playing HoMM3 for 20+ years waiting for those animations to finish.
They better have the switch to turn them off and break animators will to live by pointing how unimportant their work is for the game.

 

[Hydro]

BG3 is probably the only modern TB game that handles attack animations right

I need not imagine it, I can feel it perfectly fine, thank you.

Eh? I honestly think the world map with all the stuff on it and hero movement indicator/trail are 10/10. Like really, really good. Everything else is meh or mobile looking.

 

[Infinitron]

lol:

We've noted all of your feedback, this being one of the most requested changes. So there you go, no more blood for those pesky vampires!

Tune in tomorrow, December 22nd, to our livestream! We have many surprises in store for you!

[Infinitron]

As we wrap up 2024, we thought we would celebrate the last day of the year with a small token of our gratitude for the community that has been there for us the whole way.
In this video, we have compiled some of your feedback to showcase how your voice can make an impact in Olden Era! Joining are a few goodies of our own that we've been cooking in the background.

Enjoy our small present and Happy 2025 from our team at Unfrozen!
