Whats this?

It is a WarCraft III Modification Project that will re-create the alpha 1999 version. Entire campaigns and story will be taken from Reign of Chaos with some unused extras.

What's the point of recreating WarCraft III?

Because really no-one ever realizes what if the alpha 1999 version was released rather than retail current, the point is to experience the whole gameplay, environment from a whole different perspective.

Just another wasted project?

No, this one has a lot of potential to furnish and complete it, we will however require your assistance.

Where can I sign in?

Where can I see how War3 Alpha 1999 looked?

Is this project dead or alive? ~New

This project has undergone various and serious changes from time to time, due to the developers decisions, tactics and ideas. This project was inactive and dead for a time when I announced a stressful announcement about moving to other engine. When time came, we decided that we have energy and free time to continue making this. This has been resurrected and is still active to this day.

Is this going to be like Warlords? ~New

Well, actually I wouldn't characterize it like that at all. There are some elements that are similar to Warlords, and you'll probably see some elements that are similar to let's say, Heroes of Might and Magic, but there's really no game out there that's doing what I can say that we're taking a turn based game and turning it into a real time game.

Is it going to be like Myth? ~New

Well first of all, Myth actually isn't 3d - they have 3d terrain but the characters are not. These are fully 3d polygonal characters. And any time you see a 2d shot the first thing you want to do is compare it. The only thing I can say is that when you actually get a chance to see the game demo, it really isn't like Myth.

Have any suggestions? Want to ask a question? Want to become a developer and help me make this project complete? Feel free to comment.

 

[Heinvers]

Now that sounds interesting! So your going to remake an alpha wc3 mod?
Back then the game looked waayyy more intriguing:>
I wish you the best then

 

[A Void]

Thank You, yes it looked amazing!

 

[pred1980]

Cool Idea. I wanne play it - What do you think you're rdy to release it?

 

[A Void]

I have no estimated release date yet. If only I work alone then its gonna take I think a whole month or a year. If someone joins me then its according the amount of members who work at this modification.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Interesting stuff. Good luck.

 

[A Void]

Thank You.

 

[pred1980]

yeah, you need members or you'll need year(s). I worked since 5 years on our mod and we release it in 2 weeks - So, my tip: Find people!!!!

 

[A Void]

Find people? Its not so easy as you say. But while right now I do not have any members who wanted to join in development.

You know they should be ashamed of themselves!( Such a good project and no volunteers? Frankly if i weren't working in 2 projects i'd openly join you! But it seems that just a few of us care about promising projects(

I volunteer as a tribute!

 

[Heinvers]

Well then, he needs more men like you who are willing to help

 

[TaShadan]

Nice idea. Good luck.

 

[A Void]

New Human building!

 

[SMBComix]

I really like the sounds of this project -- always wondered how the game would have played if it kept its original gameplay and such.

I'm afraid my skills are limited to brainstorming concepts with regard to projects like this, so I don't really have much to offer your team. Otherwise I would. Good luck to you guys, though, and I hope to see this when it's finished!

EDIT: Do you actually have the alpha client/models, or are you using recreations?

 

[A Void]

We are using brand new, non-blizzard models, we are recreating them.

 

[Heinvers]

That's a great fact. Keep going

 

[A Void]

Some random artwork from our models!

 

[Heinvers]

Will you remake the human knight too.

 

[TaShadan]

Will you remake the human knight too.

That would be awesome. Liked the Alpha Knight.

 

[Heinvers]

I liked that unit too. It's much more well executed than the current crippled on

 

[A Void]

We need a second modeler because Blood Raven is already busy doing all the models. Human Knight will only be recreated if we find a suitable modeler for units and animation.

 

[gorillabull]

what happened to the interface? is this frozen throne?

 

[Rheiko]

this is awesome :3

It is a WarCraft III Modification Project that will re-create the alpha 1999 version. Entire campaigns and story will be taken from Reign of Chaos with some unused extras.

so this is a mod?

 

[A Void]

It is a complete WarCraft 3 TfT modification

PS: "Alpha Screenshots" show orginal Blizzard WarCraft III. Its not our, we are only recreating it.

 

[Rheiko]

It is a complete WarCraft 3 TfT modification

cool :3

Good luck ^^
i'm looking forward to this

 

[A Void]

 

[Heinvers]

WoW! Great replica's! I like the new name of this mod I wonder what comes next?

 

[Deleted member 219079]

Good thing you have access to alpha models
Good luck with the project!

 

[TaShadan]

Cool buildings.

 

[Gekigengar]

This is one of the most interesting projects out there o.o

I highly support this to be completed..!

 

[Heinvers]

Hopefully this will have some time consuming battles. Anyway good luck

 

[A Void]

Please go to MODB to see full resolution picture.

 

[Heinvers]

Interesting. I see that it's a placeholder for now. Anyway looks ok. Any new team members? And i see that you serve under an Anonymus leader? Why?

 

[A Void]

I'm sorry I wont discuss about the "leader". What do you mean that u see its a placeholder, what is a placeholder? Grunt, Warlord & Sizes are placeholder.Terrain Tiles also temporary.

 

[Heinvers]

No not that i meant this is a promotional image right? the empty terrain behind the trees that's what i meant. Don't worry it looks awesome anyway XD

 

[A Void]

Oh, yes. This is just for showing how pretty much the terrain will be on Lordaeron Summer. I havent added anything behind the trees because map ends there (boundries). PS: The camera is zoomed out to show entire view. Don't worry you can configure camera.

 

[A Void]

Updated: Added official promotional site.

 

[A Void]

New Models, to keep people updated and in touch with us. To see higher resolution screenshot then just go to MOD DB.

 

[Heinvers]

Looks good Ingame textures? hmm

 

[A Void]

Some uses in-game. Some we make.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Ooh, I like that guy-on-stick, as well the cool mini-spider-crystal ziggurat-thing. That's also a neat Barracks.

 

[A Void]

Update: You will see a few characters from WarCraft 1, 2 in our Project (Legends). I will not spoil anything, but to tell you that they will come back. They will have an important/ minor roles to fulfill. We are changing the whole lore of Reign of Chaos. So you will see some unused / cut content from it. For now We wont spoil anything untill the actual demo or release.

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Ooooh that Orc woman, can't remember her name, I'm assuming she's from "The Last Guardian" or am I getting things mixed up?

 

[Heinvers]

Can't u see that's Garona Halforcen? I'm sure u played The Last Guardian by OutsiderXE! There u can meet her for the first time in warcraft 3.
Anyway it's good to see some familiar faces added to your project

 

[A Void]

Orc Forge (Version 1)

 

[knight26]

WELL THIS IS INTERESTING, SORRY FOR CAPS LOCK I'M SO EXCITED.
awsum. keep up the good work guys!.

 

[Chen]

Garona! She is originally a main orc character in Warcraft III, but Blizzard removed her.

 

[A Void]

Thrall was main orc character. Garona was supposed to be in campaign as a major character but not the main.

 

[Burningreaver]

Greetings and good day to you.

I am intrigued and want to ask: Is this going to be the very first version of Warcraft III with role-playing strategy/real-time tactics gameplay?

I am looking forward to your answer.
