Do note that I was sick and tired of creating a huge campaign all by myself without being able to release it to public even after doing so much work just because it wasn't finished (and most modders know that people can REALLY bitch about unfinished mods). So RR is a one map compilation of a whole Wc3 TC (or campaign) and intends to have what you won't even find in majority of full fledged campaigns out there (hopefully).

Random Reasons (RR) is based on my own theory of 'fictional realism'. In the frozen fictional world of RR you will fight for survival by taking the most 'logical' and 'realistic' steps. In RR you will learn to survive out in the cold, you will learn to use heat to your advantage, you will learn to make friends and then betray them (if you want) and you will also learn that your actions WILL have consequences that you must face.

RR is also inspired by random cliches you find in other mods or games out there. This RPG doesn't take itself seriously because I am bored to death with all the 'save our world' and 'destroy their world' storylines in other.. places. Not only cliches but almost every time you restart the map you will find random changes like different enemies, different quests, different results to same quests, etc.

Instead of working on this map for ages I intend to release it every now and then with added content to the public until the end of the story. You comments on story and ideas on characters (or everything) will make their way into the game in every update one way or another.

In this RPG, what you get is what you should (WYGIWYS). Here's a short list:

  • Package contains new models, environments that are alive, high-res textures, detailed level design and other misc. stuff you can't live without in a mod.
  • Unlike other RPG's, you can carry like 2-3 items at a time. You can only increase your inventory size if you buy the 'right' upgrade (read = backpack) from a merchant, but that won't come cheap.
  • You can use weapons and shields. You can buy stuff or steal it.. or just kill the one holding something you want.
  • You can kill main characters and the game will continue.. but of course be prepared to face the new challenges ahead of you.
  • You don't magically regenerate or heal, sort of. If you are freezing to death then find a heat source to regenerate slowly. If you are dying of hunger, find food (you can always hunt wild animals and cook their meat). There are no potions.
  • You can enter exit various dungeons (if you can). You don't have to worry about cold inside a dungeon.
  • Everything mentioned above is almost already functioning in-game so you don't have to wait for ages to play this.

There's a lot of stuff I intend to add in the updates if I get good feedback from the community.

I haven't worked on my mods for Wc3 for sometime now. So before I pack-up my modding tools and thow away the key, I have decided to finish some of the mods that I really enjoyed working on all this time..

Skeletal Rage 2: Sequel to SR: Extremities, SR2 pretty much achieves what I wanted to achieve with SR in the first place. A dark gory battlefield with skeletons and their captured slaves duking it out mindlessly. Win by numbers, through speed, using epic heroes and vehicles, or good old strategy.

Gameplay video from SR2 and the Screenshots collection.


I know, it's not the best demonstration considering that most Wc3 players are used to the massively detailed maps like Dota and AOS, but still, I hope it's more than enough for some people to give this map a try and then give some feedback. I have already started work on the standalone version of this game based on another project I have been busy with sometime for now (which will be posted here as well, Indie category). So feedback will help a lot with the standalone version as well as the mod.

UNDERWORLD: The Legend of Nephthys: "HDD crash.", "Recovery.", "Not quite dead.", that's basically the story of this project and the reason behind any activity AT ALL for a long time. I ended up chucking a big part of the project (mostly, pre-rendered cinematics) out of the window because of the loss of work that included the story and elements supporting the cinematics in the first place. What I will now do is to release what I have recovered as an unifinished campaign and a gameplay video (coming soon). Here's the last shot from the cinematic :(

That's pretty much it. I am looking forward to any feedback on SR2 primarily, except for the types that go "you suck", "this sucks", "I will suck".. and on..
