I created this thread to see if there are still people here who are still playing mods and waiting for new mods to come out.
Work on this project began in January 2020.
During half a year I was actively working on mechanics, game world, lore, characters, etc.
Then I had a daughter and stopped development.
After 4 years, I decided to continue!
And so, another half a year passed and the mod began to take shape.
This mod is inspired by such works as:
Eye of the Atlantis
Xeen's cronicles
The Guardians
Final Adventure
What is planned in the release of the first version:
Approximately 40 varied levels.
A huge city with a castle, NPS and merchants.
Over 70 secrets and riddles.
Lots of buried treasures.
More than 20 battles with bosses.
More than a hundred rounds in the arena.
New alchemy system.
New spell system.
System of crafting and improving items.
Added to the mod:
Grimrock 2 GUI Toolkit by John Wordsworth
Andak Rainor's spell pack
Andak Rainor's alchemy
Zimber's assets
Germanny's Dungeon Master Resource
MinAssets by Minmay
The Winter Tileset by Skuggasveinn
Vanblam Utility Set
and many, many others.
The mod is scheduled for release in early 2025
For now, you can check out the short trailer.
