Are there plans to create new free assets?

• SXX 3y ago
  There is a big problem with creating actually free assets: * If everything will look completely different from original game majority of fans not gonna like it even if quality gonna be really high. As you can guess fans of old games are really opinionated and hard to pleasure. * If they looks too similar to original game then Ubisoft can righfully claim copyright infrigement so it will be impossible to distribute assets in Debian, Google Play and other stores. Actually same problem is valid for any open source game reimplementations except simulators where you can claim that you copying some original and not someone else commercial game. It's very much possible to just take VCMI and HoMM3 mechanics and create completely different game on top of it. Engine was intentionally designed for modding after all, but again it's unlikely that many fans will play it.
