    [​IMG] Some Might and Magic fans have gotten together and are creating a new M&M game based on the engine and world from MM6-8. Looks pretty spiffy to me! For now, they've just got forums, no oficial website, but you can download a small demo there. http://www.mmt.34sp.com/

    Virne, I'm following their production and it is looking really promising.

    Well the demo looked great enough with the graphics of MMIX but with the interface of MMVIII. Weather included and they are now working on interior levels which look really good. They have even a soundtrack for downloading available which took me straight back MMVI. They have a team of over 15 people if I'm not mistaken.

    Oh, God. Just what the world needs: ANOTHER Might & Magic game. I wish a meteor would strike the New World Computing offices. Those guys just don't know when to quit.

    Oh God YES you mean! I can't wait for this, I was so sad when 3D0 bit the big one and took New World Computing down with it, NWC, Sir-Tech, the old-school Interplay *sniff* -An era of gaming has dissappeared.

    Well, I have to say, I haven't downloaded the demo, but the screens are mouth-watering, the interior graphics are almost like morrowind, the exterior is crisper than MMVIII, maybe even MMIX, The portraits and sprites bring back a lot of good memories, and the music composer is a genius.

    This said, I have high hopes for this, I have also been looking in to Devil Whisky - a tribute of Bard's Tale - and while ok, I think this one has been handled much better.

    Eh cross New World Computing went bankrupt, so that meteor wouldn't really have a big impact. That's why they're making the demo.

    Well... checked the site. Looks good; at least the graphics look sharp. :) Hopefully the plot and characters are as sharp too.
