heXen:Edge of Chaos will be a new and free game, based on the original Hexen game that was developed by id Software and Raven Software. In order to play this game you will need to own the fantastic game called Doom3 installed, which was released end of 2004 by id Software. The Doom3 engine (also called IDTech 4) is still a great engine that can compete with the latest games coming out today. It was with this in mind that we began, over 4 years ago, the development of heXen:Edge of Chaos. Edge of Chaos is being developed by a team of fans who have always loved the original Hexen since it came out. In fact, most of us spent countless hours with the entire series. When id Software released Doom3, we immediately saw immense potential in the engine itself; the 'Hell' maps gave us the inspiration to make a hack-and-slash game based, primarily, on the original Hexen. You'll even be able to visit some places that you've seen before in the course of your previous adventures. Our story ties into the expansion packs and also touches upon the Heretic narrative; especially the incredible atmosphere painted into these rich worlds and their darkling journeys. We are still looking for talented teammembers, so if you have some work to show and think you might be able to help us, make sure to drop us a line!

4 comments by HexenEdgeOfChaos on Nov 3rd, 2009 digg this super bookmark Let us peer over the shoulder of our level designer Michael Richardson (Ruckus) today and discover how he approaches cartography digital-style. No outdated blueprints and paper drafting for this one! Just a mouse, a monitor, a computer (we assume) and perhaps a highly-caffeinated crystal vial to nurse him through the late mapping twilight hours.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! this is the thing i have waited for, YEEEES! DEEEMO!
Hell I would love to map for this mod.. i have been following since its beginnings and always wished i could be on the team.. only thing is i highly doubt i would map for this mod since i don't like gtkradiant.. and people will think i am weird for that.. but i like quark much better! too bad that mapping for doom 3 in quark kinda well......... sucks.. because its lacking certain things.. etc.. not only that but its a pain in the ass adding mods to quark. Oh well... hope you guys find some mappers!
Disappointing, but understandable. Mapping is very important, better not rush into it.
wow didnt sound good at all...guess longer waiting then :(
see you in 6 months, then :p
Yay! finally some news!
Still no update? :-(
be patient..will come surley soon...whaa i cant wait either GIVE US THE TRAILER!!! XD
I just think it's a bit silly when there's no news or updates for over 6 months, and when the announcements finally come, they don't deliver... it's not like there hasnt been plenty of time to get it together by now.
Alas, I am but a humble consumer of mods, so I'll stfu until further notice.
Did you even read the post? Give them a break, they're having to deal with a lot of jackassery from mappers.
