I forgot to post about 1.4.0 release which was a WAY bigger update but this is just as good opportunity to post about this project. Play HOMM3 y’all.
Loved this game. Used to play with my bro. Always XL map, hours until we even found each other.
A year or so ago he showed me: https://goblinzstudio.com/game/heros-hour/
Very similar but a hilarious battle system that actually renders ALL of your creatures. Love it
