Posts from MIght and Magic Tribute

First of all, the project was started by fans of the game and is dedicated to the Might And Magic series. The game will be made in the style of Might And Magic 6 - Might And Magic 8, but the fans naturally decided to improve the graphics using their own 3D engine and taking into account the failure of the 9th part in terms of implementation.
This is by no means Might And Magic 10 - it is called Tribute. That is, it is dedicated to the old days when all fans enjoyed Might And Magic 6, 7, and played 8.

In Might And Magic Tribute, the development team wants to try to combine the best traditions of MM6-7 with good elements from MM8 and MM9. And most importantly, the project is currently completely freeware, and the developers are not refusing help and suggestions from fans.

This is the first brief overview, which briefly describes the idea.
Read the next review for details on gameplay and plot.

Here is the link to the official website dedicated to the game http://www.mmtribute.castlegobs.nl/news.shtml
Game highlights:
- a non-linear plot tied together as a whole
- 15 huge maps with dungeons
- more than 50 different quests
- the ability to choose a party of 1 to 6 people
- various classes and 6 different races. Moreover, there is a dependency between classes and races; some find it easier, others harder.
- Dialogues like in 9
- Reputation strongly affects NPCs
- Alchemy will be present
- new skills, such as Music and Grey Magic
- The magic system does not differ much from parts 6-8
- Obelisks will be present
- there will be a tavern game, but not same as own Arcomage
- There will be something like a personal Castle, only even cooler.
- release date - when it is ready.
- it will be free and only in English.

Here is a map of the setting.:)
The action takes place on another continent of Xeen, Karigor.

Karigor is located north of Jadame; together, they form one of the three continents of the Colony (the other continents are Enroth and Antagarich).

Elves, Djinns, Humans, Vampires, Trolls, Ogres.

Might & Magic Tribute begins in 1083 AS. This is 81 years after the start of the events in Might and Magic VI. The Churches of the Sun and Moon still hold power, and the Ainophist dynasty has not yet consolidated its power in these lands.

When will there be new information about the game? I don't know English very well.

Currently, v.0.3 is available for download.

Hooray, version 0.4 is out! It seems they are still active...

This looks like something. Here's a direct link to the download from the German mirror. You need to go through about 6 pages to get to the links.

Damn, it would be interesting to play this tribute! There's no lag, and it downloads quickly. But it's okay, I'll wait! I'm just a huge fan of Might and Magic 7, 8, and 9. After that, I'll play Might and Magic 6.

Are they even still alive? There hasn't been any news from them for over a year.

They're still twitching :)
No news yet, I need to check the forum to see what people are writing.

Hey everyone, in case anyone didn't know, beta 5 is coming out very soon, and beta 6 will be released by the end of the year, which will be a fully-fledged game. :cool:

http://www.castlegobs.nl/forums/index.php?showtopic=1690&st=0&#entry15720 - looks like something's going on there..

So, folks, Tribood is alive and kicking, as I mentioned before, demo 0.5 has been released, and it seems the project isn't going to die out. If there are still those who care about the project, this is for you:
http://rapidshare.com/files/226082460/MMTribute_setup.rar - demo 0.5
Some information as of now:
- The engine's graphical and physics capabilities are already in the final stages. Work on the scripting system is also ongoing.
- A level editor has been created; those who wish can download it (~129 MB).
- A lot of dialogues and quests have been written, which will be used in the game.

However, the creators are most concerned about the lack of 2D and 3D artists. For now, they are focusing on this problem as the main one. The human model in the demo is a model from Microsoft's XNA and will not be used in the game; it only demonstrates the possibility of animation and dynamic shadows. Don't forget to install .NET 3.5.


Besides Tribood, I know of two more projects in the style of Might and Magic. The first is WoX2; I think many have heard of it. The second one I came across relatively recently; it's called Might and Magic 10. Here's the link: http://www.freewebs.com/mm10/

Looks good=)))) I guess these are screenshots from version 0.5, right? YAY=))) Well, it's really cool, I thought they had already done that=))))) and they're working on it, good job=)

there is also a short video:

It's already looking amazing! I'm looking forward to the full version being released.
