You mean this one? I posted in it, which is what lead me to create this one
Which is why this would be a gradual long term project. The point is to get things done, not to do 'em fast.
That is a conservative notion at best. There is no general “HoMM feel”, as the graphic style changes with every new game. Besides the point of the project would not be to fully replace the HoMM3 assets, but rather to provide a free alternative. Anyone who wishes could obviously still use the original HoMM3 graphics. And it’s not a matter of VCMI being in alpha either. This would certainly be a project to go along with VCMI, but the graphic resources could be used by anyone else.
I believe crowdsourcing might be the answer for that. I know a few decent artists that might be persudaded to help this cause for a fairly accessible price or even maybe for free. At this point, the initial goals for this project would simply be to simply set up a discussion forum or arrange a few joint chat sessions in order decide the general artstyle to use and which specific characteristics to employ. After making a decision we would contact a concept artist to produce several black and white sketches for creatures, menu art and battlescapes. Finally we would hire animators and 2d artists to produce the final assets.
So at this point, all I would like to ask from you is your cooperation and your opinion on how these future art assets should look like. I mean, even if this eventually fails, we won’t lose anything just by talking to each other right?
