We present to you a project based on the renowned Age Of Heroes game series. Some may remember this legendary MMORPG with turn-based battles, while others are just starting their journey through the vast lands of Aivail.
Stalkers have managed to obtain hidden files containing gameplay recordings:
Our team, PerfectMod, is porting the entire gameplay of the original game to a modern engine. While expanding the original storyline and enhancing player capabilities, we also pay attention to the graphics, preserving the essence of the iconic pixel art.
The company QPlaze (the developer of the original Age of Heroes) has recognized our efforts and supports us on our path to a new beginning for the Age of Heroes! We have been provided with a complete range of files from the original game: graphics, texts, databases, graphics editors from the Revival server, game admin information, and other materials.
The main goal of the project is to realize the full potential of AoHO, operational until the official updates of the Revival server, on the new modern Unity engine. We aim to create a game product that closely resembles the original while utilizing a current game development engine.
Our confidence to push forward is supported not only by the trust of the majority of players and the backing of the publisher of the classic game but also by the irreversible nature of the development process. Our team has invested about 300,000 rubles into this project over a period of 8 months (at the time of writing this article), which is a significant reason to continue. Losing such an amount by stopping halfway would be the path of the Mad Druid.
The project's objectives include:
- Implementing all game mechanics that function identically to the classic game.
- Filling all graphical gaps. Adding animations for abilities and effects that lacked them.
- Developing a clear classification of Aivail magic and an understandable gameplay (damage, attribute summation, etc.).
- Enhancing interface usability, introducing game events, and rewards to update the project.
- Gathering players who enjoyed the classic parts of the franchise and attracting a new audience.
- Systematizing all information regarding quests, artifacts, game lore, magic, and other essential components.
And of course, the most exciting part—after completing all the above tasks, we plan to introduce a completely new race for the world of Aivail: the Oceanids. We have already prepared the graphical elements for this block (buildings, units, heroes, character avatars).
Our funds are primarily directed towards hiring a professional programmer with good game development experience. Additional resources are allocated for acquiring graphics, new animations, and, of course, promoting our channels (VK, Discord).
As we approach the game's release, attracting additional financial support will play a crucial role in our progress. As indie developers, we greatly appreciate any help. Therefore, to speed up development, we provide our details for donations. Your contributions will not go unrecognized!
