Heart of Storms: Resurrection

[Kyrbi0]

I used to think that way, too, but at this point, the Hive will probably go on forever. 'Can't kill the Undead'...

 

[Venkolm]

Oh? Then he can take his time.

 

[Em!]

Cool I kept close tabs on Hos awhile back, when it went quiet I seriously felt like the days of modding was dead. Glad to see it revived

 

[Hetgrum]

I remember seeing the trailer many years ago. @Mogulkhan is right. Just do this, if you are serious. There is russian mod called Way of Others that took five years to develop. It introduces new race in multiplayer, new units for old races, new campaign with about a dozen missions, that has even more custom races, complete voice acting, custom made graphics for each new unit.

People said "Joe's Quest is better!".

Take your very best ideas and make a single good map with a couple of custom art is better than a ton of assets just lying on the forum.

 

[MogulKahn]

Hey, I am curious what units and abilities they added for old races?

 

[Rommel]

Thanks for being around, friends ^^ The work is going a tad slower than expected, they again, we're not 20 y.o. as in 2004. Still HoS is progressing and ingame footage an dev info are on their way, a cumulative update to make up for almost a month of wait. And regarding wait time in general... In 2009, we really worried that SC2 would make Warcraft 3 an outdated piece of trash, now it appears War3 is gonna outlive it. Not like we're gonna make you wait 5 years more, but, honestly, HoS is done when it's done.

Here's for the taste of things to come, HoS title screen featuring all 4 main heroes:

No 'old races' are left, ALL races (4 main ones + naga) are being reworked, and most of the creeps too.

Fantastic piece of art, totally hyped! *-*

 

[The_Warchief]

Seeing this just... Makes my goddamn day! Despite the youth of this account, I've been a huge fan and follower of Warcraft modding for ages, and I was so blown away and inspired by all I had seen for Heart of Storms, back then... Seeing it rise up from the ashes just leaves me with a huge grin on my face, haha. Great piece of artwork there, and great news to bring! I will be watching this with bated breath!

 

[Heinvers]

Totally

My current opinon is, that Rommel should rebiuld a new team of volunteers willing to spent their time on helping with the scripting, modeling and other unfinished work etc. I think a bigger team ( about 5-10 people) could be menaged quite easily and coordinated, and as such could finish the project faster. Anyway looking forward to it (since 2008)

This is an excellent idea

 

[Tauer]

Awesum! That is some high quality art! I too would like to know who the author is

Seeing as these are the campaign heroes, dare I hope for a confirmation that you are planning on finishing the campaigns?

A very agreeable suggestion. I believe hiveworkshop site has the number of modellers and texturers who can add up to HoS:R team.
It was good to hear, one of my youth's awaited mod would ever be coming again.

To be a part of one of the biggest mods of Wc3 is a powerful motivating force for those who almost stopped artists and modellers we truly adore. By the way, I would like to come into contact with our dearest old good friends ShiiK and PhoenixIV and see if they would want to be in this.

 

[Lord Siler]

So is there any progress as of late, or it this gonna going like the old hos campaign?

 

[Colonel Aster]

I remember looking at the old project and thinking how exciting it'll be to play when its finally finish, I sincerely hope you guys finish this one

 

[Spellbound]

@OP Not sure how you intend to/are coordinating development, but creating a discord server for the project would be a good place to start. Good luck with the project

 

[orc01rus]

What now? Maybe, someone news?

 

[Ether]

Any news @Rommel?

 

[MogulKahn]

Any news @Rommel?

Surprise, surprise!

 

[Raytheon Thunder]

is this dead again?

 

[Into The Earth]

Maybe not dead, but at least in some kind of dormant state. I like to imagine that Rommel is still chugging away at this now and then in what little free time he has, but that's bound to mean pretty slow progress. Granted, that's just an inference I'm making from my own experiences with modding.
Too bad, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that Rommel had decided to resurrect this after all.

Same, honestly.

We've still got two years, boys!

...now it appears War3 is gonna outlive it.

... no one tell him. x/

 

[Royalpimp]

Anyone know if the info from the old site is still around somewhere? I liked the story bits quite a lot.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Well there's always the Internet Web Archive (or whatever it's called). Also, if you check the link in my signature, there's a Compendium post I made with a bunch of stuff attached to it (some of the links are dead, but all the uploads should still be intact).

 

[The_Warchief]

7 months left...
Keep the faith!!!

 

[BoneyJuvy]

Is this mod dead again?

 

[Stefan.K]

Is this mod dead again?

Actually quite the opposite.

[Campaign] - Heart of Storms: Dusk of Draenor

We bet you didn't see this coming! So, what is the Heart of Storms? The Heart of Storms: Dusk of Draenor is the first part of a massive campaign set across past and present Draenor, Azeroth, Argus and other, more exotic worlds. Carefully recreated according to the Chronicles canon, it shows...

what the heck... holy smokes, this is great news. But why not post it on this thread??

 

[Rommel]

Sorry for keeping it silent all these years ^^
Well we decided a new thread is more fitting!

Oh no, I understand keeping things discreet, and a new thread is perfect for something this big. I just mean, you've got a bunch of dedicated follows Subscribed to the earlier thread; might as well use the built-in notification/loudspeaker, right? ^_^

 

[Loki18]

Hope this could really be done! Im really interested on this mod since i saw the old trailer back then.
