Despite my many criticisms (and to be sure, I will continue to criticize in the future =P), I deeply respect you and the whole team and what you're trying to accomplish. Being a professional open-source software developer myself, I know how hard it is to cater to clients' (fans') expectations.

Respect ;) And lucky !
PS : I really like the interface of the screenshot ...

To be honest I almost like the fake Screenshot more than the current screens. Reason for that is it hasn't an uberdimensional 2D bottom area. It looks cleaner and there is more space to look around. While the bottom area of the actual screens may have nice artwork, I think it's just too big. Also it doesn't need to be stretched over the whole width of the screen. It might look better if the bottom area was a bit smaller and centered like the Diablo3 GUI, with free space left and right.

What was your favourite Might and Magic game? Personally Might and Magic 6 was my favourite and then 7 and 8. MM9 was poor. What made MM6-8 great was the variety of monsters, the quests, the PAPERDOLLS and the overall enjoyment.
Thank you, Limbic and Ubisoft for reviving a brilliant series!!

Only yours? I had MMX.doc and Fallout3.doc since forever and believe me unlike MMX.doc, Fallout3.doc is staying there for good...

I've been a Might and Magic fan since the early 90's, and I've seen the game as it developed. I sicnerely hope you guys stay true to the original formula. I hope it all works out. And do please let me know whrn the game is ready so i can buy a copy from you guys.

I'm so glad that you got this game started, and am happy that it is an old school game and not another first person single player action rpg with the name Might and Magic tacked on. I also think that a lot of us who are posting "I would like this" or "I would do this differently" still have great hopes for this game and believe in general in what you are doing.

I love it, I love you, and I love everything to do with this new MM project. The more you release these golden gems to us, the more I see that you are truly on the right path. This game is going to be a classic crpg, I can just feel it. Since MM happens to be my favorite series of games ever, I am just so pleased at all this. I was really starting to lose hope that there would ever be another awesome classic crpg again. Thank you , for your vision and determination to see our DREAM come true.

What a great story, Julien. I'm convinced the title got in the right hands. As a big fan of MM6 I'm following every bit of news you guys release and wish your team the best in these final stages of development.
Can't wait to test out the tilebased movement, it will be a new experience to me. Would like to be wandering around in Karthal already

It was clear from the beginning that MMX derived from HOMM and not MM. The fake screenshots affirms that it was intended to be HOMM6 just from a 1st person party perspective. That's why I don't get people wanted so desperately features from MM3 etc. Now I'm a little bit afraid we get a mixture that is neither one. Also what one can see from the fake screenshot: a tile based movement was never intended in first place, but a 360 degree freedom movement... damn :(

@Maomor: I think you are overinterpreting and extrapolating a lot of things here. The fake screenshot was done in the Heroes VI editor primarily because it was the simplest way for me to put a Might & Magic environment together and take some fake first-person screenshots in it, that's all. I was working on these pitches on my spare time, remember? :)

Regarding free-movement vs. tile-based, as explained in a previous article we experimented with both gameplays before deciding to go for tile-based. However, I wonder how you can see 360° movement in this fake screenshot :) After all, Heroes VI is technically tile-based... ^^
For those who haven't read it, the explanation of why we went for tile-based movement is here: https://mightandmagicx-legacy.ubi.com/opendev/blog/post/view/51c9af34888ef6f23c000000

Great story Marzhin93. I was afraid the Might and Magic CRPG series was dead and gone after 3DO and MM9, but you had its back along with the backs of all its fans, and it's finally returning from the ashes likec a defeated Phoenix. Here, here to Marzhin93 and MM may they both live long and prosper!

Any chance you'll ever return to finish up LotA? I played the first chapter and loved it. MMX looks awesome, and I wish you all the best!
