Might & Magic 10: Artists & Writers Wanted!

Hey there fellow die hard M&M fans. On your journeys across the Internet, you may have heard of a fan project being developed called Might & Magic 10. But was this project rumor or real?

The Might & Magic 10 project is quite real, and our developers have made tremendous progress as of recently. One of the main reasons why it's taken so long is that we've completely scrapped the original game ideas. About 3 or 4 years ago, MM10 was titled "The Anduran Saga", and was supposed to take place on a hidden chain of Islands Southwest of Enroth called Glorennes. One version of the storyline reached over 14 pages long, and everything from maps and dungeons, to quests and items were being developed through the Horizon engine, which powered Might and Magic games 6 through 8.

Over time, we decided to take them game into the context of it's predecessor, Might & Magic 9 (The Writ of Fate), and all of the previous years of work we had done became obsolete. Thus, almost an entire game was made only to fade away into nothingness. We also had the game undergo a name change from "The Anduran Saga" to "Children of the Void."

This catastrophe will not happen again, because we have made some incredible breakthroughs on the original storyline planned for Might & Magic 10. Tim Lang has disclosed his original plans to us, and we have taken the game to the world of Axeoth, where (again) the series left off in Might & Magic IX (The Writ of Fate), as well as Heroes of Might & Magic IV (Also the Gathering Storm and Winds of War), and even Legends of Might & Magic, which was originally staged to take place on Axeoth's Southern continent of Lodwar. We are including the whole world of Axeoth in Might & Magic 10: Children of the Void.

We have many developmental processes going on with the game, and it will not become like Might & Magic Tribute turned out (much respect due to Ribannah for her noble endeavors.) On the Internet, everything from a regularly updated Facebook page to a brand new website is being developed, and behind the scenes there is much work being done on the game itself, including a brand new game engine in the works.

As we're growing and expanding, we need the help of our most important contributors - you, the fans of Might & Magic. Since this is a fan based operation, we are always looking towards our fans for assistance and feedback.

So the project is still running? That is great news!
I, presonally, won't be of much use to you, though.

Do you have plans for translations in foreign languages ? It could help expand your fan base even more. I for example could help to translate from english to french (my native tongue).

Except from that, I might not have enough time to write quests or dialogues, but item descriptions could be okay.

This is really a great surprise, didn't know about this project. Best luck with it, looking forward to it. :)

nice as might and magic fanboy i hope its gonna work im not a programmer tough so im not very useful tough.

Thanks for the replies guys!

We probably will translate the game into foreign languages at some point, the first of which would be Russian because of the large amount of people in the Russian Might & Magic community.

Just tried it, it worked!

Is this the same project as Might & Magic tribute ?

Not to dampen your enthusiasm, but Ubi Soft seems keen on making Might & Magic a big brand name right now. They might even want to do M&M 10 themselves.

Have you actually gotten their permission for this? It would be a shame to lose months or years of work to a C&D letter.

Nope.

If UBI are being all precious about the title (and not seeing fit to release a decent M&M game), then it's a good point about M&M 10 infringing copyright.

I would suggest a subtle change in the name now," Mighty Magic " or " The Might of Magic" or something along those lines. It would be a real shame to see a project such as this fall under Ubisofts banhammer and slapped with a legal writ.

Good luck with the project, please keep the GOG forums updated.

If Ubi gets up in arms, you can always do what games like Arx Fatalis, Metal Black, and Risen did and just change some names around and presto; it's a new IP.

i havent seen ubi soft working on a might and magic tought it died long ago and they were just focusing on heroes of might and magic franchise since 6 is coming
