Hey guys, been a while since the last project update again as I've been continuing work on my huge Civ2 search & rescue preservation project (which is why Civ2 mods dominate below) which is in its final stretch now as soon I'll be moving onto to Test of Time, Civ3 & newer Civ games. I also took time away to finally start releasing my video

Just noticed they made this funny retro commercial for it: [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KegcdKgAOmg[/video] Some more cool gifs too.. <img title="" src="https://img.itch.zone/aW1hZ2UvMTg5NzA5LzI0ODg3NTIuZ2lm/original/8bX7xZ.gif" alt="8bX7xZ.gif" width
To finish catching up here's the next 3 Civilization 2 - Heroes of Might & Magic 2 mod dev diaries... In the fourth dev diary we look at changing Civ2’s throne room with a HoMM2 castle jigsaw while completely replacing the title screen plus intro, diplomacy herald and wonder videos with cool HoMM2 content. HoMM2 Dev Diary 04 – New Throne Room, Intro, Dip & Wonder Videos For The Civ2 Heroes Of Might & Magic 2 Mod: <a href="htt
Looks like they've since done a cool gameplay video that's been making the rounds in the console forums: [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oU7b8NJVaDI[/video] Same footage but without all the VHS effects: [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mi6mQtPEtOk[/video]
Hey guys! While I usually post about other peoples mods and indie projects etc that interest me I figured I'd start with a thread about all the retro stuff I'm working on these days... Back in the 90s I used to muck around with Doom 2 and Civilization 2 modding but never finished any of my projects. Well in recent years I've been getting back into it (call it can early midlife crisis lol) and released a GZDoom enhanced version of my old <a href="https://blakessanctum.wordpress
Just when you think you've seen everything lol.. these Russian fellows have been working on a Resident Evil 1 game on the good old SEGA Genesis / Mega drive and it looks pretty awesome! Obviously not 3D but a very cool 2.5D isometric retro conversion of all the rooms, monsters, and characters. I tried out the demo on the Itch page and sadly its waaaaaaay older than the stuff they've been posting over the last few years. I still collect games for my Mega Drive so I hope they get it done before
Yup JMS has been posting about the reboot on his twitter. He's writer and showrunner for the reboot. Considering the toll the original show took on him I hope the reboot doesn't send him to an early grave!
Yeah discord is not the best for file sharing unless everyones on the same channel. Cloud storage is prob the easiest way to exchange files.. eg most people have a google account either due to an android phone account, a youtube account or a chrome account which all comes under google and if you've got a google account then that means you've got an unused google drive account with like 5-10 gig on it which you can drag and drop files into and then share with others. If you hav
MuHa appear to be doing monthly (or at least trying to do monthly lol) developer diaries for the official Master of Magic remake... looks pretty good so far, but fans have had a few gripes with things. First dev diary http://muhagames.com/dev-diary-1-june-2021/ <img src="https://i0.wp.com/muhagames.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Map2-1.png?resize=1024%
Well here we are 3 years on and unfortunately there hasn't been another attempt at a Starflight 3 game crowdfund or a new demo. However recently the first ever Starflight Anthology book was relea
[quote who="gypsy2299" reply="4" id="3809967"] If you have the Civ2 complete edition then my favorite was the Atlantis scenario. [/quote] Yup I have that one but don't think I ever played it properly sadly. Think I found some enhanced fan remakes of it too that I'll have to upload to the collections. Anyway, time for a big update as it's been a while! I've been busy doing lots of searching and tracking down long lost mo
Elemental was heavily inspired by Master of Magic back in the day (hence why Brad tried to get the rights), and MuHa are using their existing 3D fantasy strategy Thea 1 & 2 engine with a Master of Magic coat of paint thrown on top of it.. so yeah there's gonna be similarities when you make a Master of Magic themed 3D game.
A little late to the party with this news but OMG lol.. After 25 years of nothing it really is an amazing time for us diehard Master of Magic fans! There I was a few weeks ago getting excited about Seravy’s new Caster of Magic 2 for Windows release and then something even more amazing got officially announced, as we finally have confirmation of the Slitherine mystery MoM p
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="9" id="3805214"] MOM is one of my favorite games but after Star Control, I'd never want to do a game that involves a hard-core established fanbase. While most fans of these classic games (which I'm one of) are great people, experience has shown that there's enough dedicated crazies to make the experience miserable. Someone recently pointed me to some of the Wikipedia articles involving the Star Control dispute and how the super-fans had effect
Seravy's new Caster of Magic 2 (or Caster of Magic for Windows as Slitherine are calling it) has been officially released on Steam , GoG & Slitherine's&nbs
Oh dear lol... Yeah I can't add you back in either... Presumably you've been speaking directly with a admin there when you retook control of the mod pages so have you messaged that person? Probably much quicker that any official request system or forum thread. If there's any troubles I can try messaging the admin that helped me in the past to help you. While it makes pefect sense not giving me member management access I've recommend that when you get back in you share
[quote who="TobiWahn_Kenobi" reply="5307" id="3801194"] gave you extensive rights (all except member management for now [e digicons]:sun:[/e] ) had a look at your personal site - nice retro feeling. You really did lots of stuff. also remastered really looks nice [/quote] Cheers mate, nah that makes perfect sense setting my rights that way. I'm new to this project and I didn't volunteer to manage project members anyway so good
Got mine and accepted. Yeah I really need to get my hands on the remastered version too. Looks cool! [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4HS5K3MdMY[/video]
Big news! Looks like Seravy's Caster of Magic 2 (possibly renamed to 'C
[quote who="TobiWahn_Kenobi" reply="5293" id="3800912"] OK guys, I've now got access to both of the Babylon 5 Mods on Moddb using our assets. Please send me your handles/usernames or emails for moddb so i can add you. I would like you to keep https://www.moddb.com/mods/sins-of-the-younger-races and use <a href="https://www.moddb.com/mods/babylon-5"
Wow that ship is gorgeous! :) [quote who="TobiWahn_Kenobi" reply="5287" id="3800652"] Thanks, will try to make time to find the email from moddb and get access again. Thanks for the roses, minbari titan is my work, made after the mongoose model, slightly adapted. As for screenshots - we had quite a lot over the years but feel free to make new ones as ours are very old indeed. Yes, the mod is alpha still (because there are still basic features and models miss
[quote who="TobiWahn_Kenobi" reply="5282" id="3792810"]Thanks for the offer. Somebody once tried to establish a modDB presence using our mod which I shot down with the help of modDB. I then said I would put it on modDB when I feel like it is no longer alpha state. Long time has passed and while I still consider it alpha I will leave it up to Hael-sose to decide if he wants to have the moddb presence or not. The moderators then told me that they would give me access to the moddb pag
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="6" id="3793038"] I can honestly say I think about Elemental every day. [e digicons]:)[/e] Richard Garriott, of Ultima fame, wants to know when we're doing more too. We have plans and one of those plans is to actually try to release Elemental: War of Magic onto Steam and help update the branding on the other titles (Elemental: Fallen Enchantress and Elemental: Sorcerer King). But then Covid hit which threw a big wrench in
[quote who="admiralWillyWilber" reply="9" id="3792021"] Is there a Linux version of these games. They need a Linux version. [/quote] No idea.. probably not though haha! Ooooh just heard about another MOO like project called [b] Alliance of the Sacred Suns [/b] (that seems to have been doing public betas for years under the name Imperia5x) when I saw it's
Now there's one in my city nowhere near you guys lol. Adelaide, South Australia!
