Master of Magic mod for Elemental: War of Magic

[UltimateElemental]

Hello,

Just to let people know, there is now a team of people dedicated to making MoM live again through Stardock's Elemental engine.

If you are interested in joining us, please sign up and post about yourself and what you would like to work on.

Thanks!

Maybe they should wait (except for making resources like art) until version 1.1 is out, as it's supposed to significantly change some things.

It seems to me that 1.1 will just be a minor step in a vast journey towards the game being what many are hoping for.

Making a MoM mod at this point, seems like it would be a (potentially) wasted effort - because we have no idea what the end result will be for Elemental, now that they have a new guy in charge of future development.

Not that I wouldn't be curious to see such a mod, but I'd personally use another kind of foundation. Probably start all over and make a 2D game using XNA/C#/Photoshop - or at least I think that would end up being a much better "true" sequel to MoM.

This is great news I still have my original master of magic cd from the 90's.Hopefully they can make the game the way it was promised to be.

Well, if you remember, MoM as it came out was not nearly a finished product. It only became a masterpiece after like a year, so here's to hoping Elemental follows that (hopefully in less than a year)

I was curious about this and went there to see what was going on and came across this little nugget (http://www.ultimateelemental.com/forums/13-master-of-magic-mod/98-brain-storming-ideas-titleloading-screen-artwork.html):

I was one of the primary artists on the original Master of Magic. I designed the wizards and did a lot of the minor animation art. Some was scanned from drawings, but most was hand-rendered in Electronic Arts Deluxe Paint Animator for DOS in a very limited color palette.

I still have all the original sketches I did for the game. Let me know if you guys need any help putting this little project together.

If they get some of that artwork it will improve Elemental 10 fold. They could just drop the total conversion and put that into the game. :)

I agree with DArtagnan though. I think they should hold off until Derek gets a chance to work his magic.
