Quest for Might and Magic - a Point&Click Adventure game/movie

You know, I've been a diehard fan of HoMM2 and Space Quest games at the same time. I still value the adventures of Roger Wilco the most, and I recently came up with an idea of a short movie dedicated to Heroes of Might and Magic in pixel art, illustrating the adventures of some Enrothian characters in a humorous style, mocking on the current generation of HoMM games and a lot of other stuff.

I got inspired by Space Quest interface and general concepts, and also this video by Bowz who decently implemented an idea I was bearing too. So that I would like to make something like this in future.

The only graphics I managed to do for now is the speech animation for Thundax. Still rough, but okay for demonstration. This is the panel for speaking characters.



The main plot was supposed to feature Thundax the Barbarian and Carlawn the Sorceress (due to their similarity with Heroes 2 classes) and their various dialogs where  they encounter various things and comment on them.

The heroes are planned to be based on their class mini-versions with somewhat high-res versions reworked into full-height figures with animation.

Who knows, perhaps when I'll be more free, I will try to bring this to life. Yet, I realize that there is a real lot of work to handle alone.

You know, making a point and click spin-off of this series is a pretty interesting idea. It would take a lot of work to mess with an all, but that does sound neat. Or, a first person dungeon RPG(I don't know what the genre is called) where you have to travel through a maze and fight along the way. I think there were a handful if DOS games like that, I can't really remember what some of them were called.

Might & Magic 1-5?

Precisely.

I have to say, I've never once played Might and Magic, so I didn't know it was that kind of game. I'll have to check to see if they have that one on GoG. The cheesy old screenshots were pretty interesting.

If you like Heroes 3, you should start with MM7. Otherwise, it's MM6 which is set in Enroth continent and complements to its story after the SW.

Older parts (MM1-5) are harder to get used to, but in MM3-5 you'll be able to see a lot of familiar names and faces.
