Happy New Year!

Howdy folks,

From all of us at Realm Design I'd like to wish you a Happy New Year!

Now that that is over with - let's get to business! The Dawn of Chaos is a large project and as such is a bit hard to focus on for us - so to fix that problem we've chopped it up. Starting this February, we will be releasing Dawn of Chaos in chapters, each chapter consisting of 3 Orc and 3 Human levels, as well as an accompanying story cinematic for each race.

That's right, Dawn of Chaos is coming out this February!

Now to tide you over, here's some shots of the two new races. Some of this was released at some point and has been updated, some of it is new, and some of it is content from the DoC vault finally seeing the light of day.


Enjoy!

Great all great i wish this was hosted on the hive.

http://realmdesign.rampagingpolygons.com/
great web-site and some pages are broken link

Thank ye sir.

And, actually we have an even newer site that Archian is working on - I'll have it posted once I get in contact with him. I love making layouts - but I hate maintaining them. So, Archie is takin' over the reins.

that good news but,when you will have it hosted on the hiveworkshop.com

Just give it a chance and i sure they give you more rep than here.

wow, looks great drake... can't wait to see this!

Don't be delaying it's release now! :P

... Wow thats good... February can't wait

@link598: Why do you care about rep and hiveworkshop so badly, its just sites and rep is just to show that you've earned something right? Not fame

That least i come here to see my favorite mod.

its all nice but i rlly dont like square mark..

I kinda like the square mark... reminds me of the olden days of WC1!

Johnny, if you don't mind I do have a few question though; first about the DoC chapters, could you elaborate on how will these work? Will they be campaigns or a 'real' mod with a seperate .exe file required to install?
And after all the chapters are released will we see a complete version with all the chapters?

Now 'bout the units:
Firstly the Honour Gaurd units... awesome, don't care if I've seen 'em before, still awesome... any kind of criticism should not be tolerated.
The Honour Gaurd buildings are good, but is it possible to add some more detail to them? For example a few axes and shields in front of the forge, some hay or som'n for the pig farm.

On the outlaw outpost; this one seems a little too small to be the base of operations for a race: is it possible to add a few more thing to this? Like a small tower in a corner a couple of open crates in the other, etc.?
Ideal would be another tent, but I understand that you're working with limited space.

I do really love the ingame interface, simple but still showing the uniqueness/'characteristics' of the races.

All in all a great update: my congrats to the RD team!

Realm Design, the most determined ('stubborn') modding out there!

As I understand it, DoC uses a separate executable. As well, you need to swap out the Warcraft III patch with our DoC patch. As for the chaptered release, we'll definitely compile them all into one executable (we might do this in installments, such as having the first six all together once they're done, then the first nine, and finally all twelve, so newcomers don't have to download too many redundant things). Also, I imagine we'll rerelease chapters to fix mistakes down the road. This gives us greater flexibility and allows us to get feedback on what works and what doesn't.

seriously looking awesome guys. i cant wait, been awaiting it anxiously for how long now, 2 years? since i first decided to try making my own conversion, and it turned out to be crap, haha.

It never ceases to amaze us that ours isn't crap too. Playtesting DoC is one of the most bizarre experiences I have ever had.

I practically had to wipe the drool off your chin when we tested this weekend.

We're not gay.

Well, maybe a little.
