Great news! Any relation to this mod, or completely different project?

They stole the idea and resources from this mod, the true and original one which has been in development for over a decade.  The depravity of Roxanne and Within Amnesia knows no bounds...

[subtledoctor]

Waaaaaat.  That is seriously F'd up.  Anyway this looks amazing and I can't wait to try it out.

[Leeux]

This looks awesome! Looking forward to being able to play it when it releases! Amazing work

Got the news this morning thanks to Gwendoline, this mod looks great !

As far as I understand, it is compatible with BG 1 + TotSC alone ? Or does it need BGT or BG:EE ?

I see.. that was more grim than expected.

It is not compatible with original BG1. It is for BGT, BG:EE, or EET.

Thanks for the kind words everyone! So far, it's @Acifer 's promotion artwork that looks so great, now we'll work on delivering the actual mod.

[Mornagest]

OK, thank you for your answer ! I have BGEE but I prefer BG1. Maybe I'll try with BGT... wait & see !

Good game by the way, folks !

[jastey]

Thanks!

Some of my mods are BG1 compatible (most components of bgqe, bg1re, Ajantis BG1), but the limits of the engine are really troublesome if one wants to tell a good story. Especially the missing OR for variable checks is cumbersome. Also, Sam. and Acifer and all other involved with this project can tell a tale about the area format for water being different for all games - BG1, BGII, BG:EE, and EET - it's a nightmare. So, with regard to the small player group for original BG1 I made the decision not to support it with this mod, as well as it does not support Tutu.

Ahh, this is so exciting - great trailer as well! I'm looking forward to this

Actually, if you look, Rabain gives all permissions to use his work in this post. And should you know, things that effect copyright, which this would be, if it were to be judged in a court of law, have expiration dates. And I am pretty sure WA and Roxanne made their mod before this one was released. So, just leave it alone, there's plenty to spread around; guilt, it never ends.

[jastey]

Yovaneth dismissed Rabain's area and redid the main tower area. Last time I checked, the mod from Roxanne&WithinAmnesia used exactly Yovaneth's (and Cuv's) area art. So, no, "did their version before this one was released" is not a valid point here.

[Vlan]

Holy shit!

 

Also, thanks for BGT compatibility!
