so what's the problem? you're not the only one! at least try! we need to start, I think like-minded people will be found, and no producer has ever resisted commercially successful projects...

First, you need to write a book :) Or a script...
Plus, it's unlikely that a producer would take on the task of staging a fan-made book, even if it's VERY good. You know, there's the issue of licensing, and potential lawsuits with Ubisoft (and they have good lawyers).

That’s exactly what I want to do! So, if you have any ideas, please share them!

But why jump through hoops with Ubisoft when you can take advantage of their greed?
Every company dreams of getting that kind of publicity!
After the release of Silent Hill, sales of ALL parts of the series increased sharply!
I wouldn't be surprised if Ubisoft is already thinking about it:cool:

You see, fantasy is a product of imagination and no one will say anything to me, of course, as long as I don't use their name.

Does that mean we are all stealing Tolkien's idea? Of course not; he developed our imagination, made us immerse ourselves in this world, freed the frozen mind—he saw this world himself and believed in it himself! (by the way, Frodo and Sam are images of his sons)! And that is wonderful!!!!!!!! That's why I want to work on a book!

By the way, Tolkien decided to write "The Hobbit" after reading about an underground city in the heart of the Australian desert, Coober Pedy (which translates to "white man's burrow").

As for the heroes, I am convinced that the heroes of the book (or movie) should be recognizable!

Regarding the heroes: how should they be created? As demigods and heroes, or as ordinary soldiers and sorcerers who, through their actions (of course, not at the very beginning of the book), are capable of defeating these gods?

I wouldn't be surprised if Ubisoft is already considering this:cool:

But, I agree, it's unlikely that the sales of the third game increased after the awful movie.

I think the topic of CINEMA should be discussed separately.
As for Duma, those are purely directorial flaws.

By the way, about the problem of writing a book:
We already tried, but somewhere in the second chapter, we felt such a strong urge to play our own scenario that the work simply stopped...
Authors, if you're listening! Don't succumb to this temptation! Ideally, don't play while you're writing! Write, guided by one inner feeling!

Oh! It would be relevant to read Yuri Nikitin's book "The Great Mage"!
It's about books and games...

I started writing a book about Heroes, with a plot revolving around a revival. But so far, I haven't made much progress, only getting through about one and a half chapters. I simply don't have enough time. But I'm always ready to help if I can!

Have you seen anyone's creation based on "Armageddon's Blade"? :D But it's just a big joke.

I really hope you will support me and help with this, as soon as I finish my exams, I will immediately start working on it (and then we can create a large campaign based on all of this)!

Thank you to everyone who participated in this discussion!

I'd be happy to help! If you need to come up with a name for someone or a city, feel free to ask!;)

By the way, Ubisoft has no right to sue, because the world of Might and Magic is not their idea, but NWC's and specifically Van Cannegham's, and I think Van Cannegham would be happy to know that his world has been immortalized on paper.

But Ubisoft bought the rights to the Might and Magic series and Heroes, so sorry about that:)
