Any news on DOM-III

[WraithLord]

I wonder if there's new information wrt dominions-III.

I recall with yearning that the dev constantly updated dom-II progress. Occasionally they released a screenshot or two as well.

Anyway, I hereby make my plea for updates on dom-III

Hi,

Dom 3 work has been slowed by other work lately. My work at school has been taxing (the most disturbed months in my entire working career) and JK has recently changed employer. We have also been trapped in a Guild Wars spree and have used much of our spare time with that game.

But now I'm getting bored with GW and school's out for summer (still have some work, but no students anymore). I have a healthy dominions urge and will probably restart my aboleth project.

Screenshots will probably be sent to different magazines and not appear here until later.

We haven't written anything in the dev diary lately, but that will have change.

Today is the national day of Sweden. For the first time ever it's a 'non-work-day' or whatever you call it. So I intend to get some IW-work done.

Thanks for the interest. I think I needed some to get me going.

May I suggest using the Berserk spell to get some more interest? Or maybe Imprint Souls? That should solve any morale problem, I think, and being Mindless is quite nice really. Well, maybe not that nice, but you've got some nice perks when you are a Mindless. Not too good to be a Sorcerer and get all the girls, but still.

Thanks for the news about the development of Dom 3.

Bad devs! Don't make me administer spankings!

Some people like that kind of thing, so it might not speed up development.

Sure it will, "I'll only spank you after you finish the UI!"

Well. I'm sure there is interest in plenty.
Besides the fact that dominions is a great game, there's also a "vacum" in the market of fantasy TBS games.
Now that stardock has put MOM-II plans on hold and Triumph studios won't be continuing their AOW series (blend and boring imo but fantasy TBS nonetheless), there's really nothing for a fantasy TBS fan to look forward to besides dominions.

So here's for the dominions devs . for giving us such a great game.

The only other such game I can think of is the Heroes of Might and Magic series, but they are not exactly in the same market (the sequel is currently underway). There might be a sequel to Disciples too, but I am not sure on that.

I agree on both games. Both are simplified in many ways but have added value of great music and gfx (especially disciples!).
Ok, so there's also HOMM-V and Disciples 3? to wait for

It's scheduled by the editor (there's a dedicated page and you cans send disciples 3 postcards), but there's few about it (no screenshots yet). It's certainly very early in the game development.
