Moving towards CORE for Hearts of Iron III

[Hagar]

With the imminent arrival of Hearts of Iron III the CORE team as a whole feels that a move towards CORE3 is the only, realistic option in the medium and longer term. As such we will be winding down our CORE2 development, unless unexpectedly Hearts of Iron III fails to deliver what it promises. That means we'll do another maintenance release or two for CORE2, before aiming for CORE3. With that comes learning the new engine and coding, and migrating all our thoughts and ideas towards HoI3.

Given the massive task that CORE3 will imply we're thrilled to be able to announce that two old members have rejoined the CORE ranks after a year of two of absence, Baylox and MateDow. Both have been instrumental in the development of CORE2, with MateDow already participating in CORE1. Their knowledge and skills give us an enormous boost in CORE3 development.
But that's not all... Three Betas have proven themselves more than enough to be upgraded to full CORE dev status: xt828, el alamein and Denniss, and the last two pleasant surprises are Tegetthoff, who has contributed to the 1914 mod in the past, and Radu, who worked on the Modern Day Scenario before, but from today onwards will be joining the CORE dev team. Welcome aboard guys, we're looking forward to making CORE3 even greater!

Woooo! Nice to see the team up and running.


I know nothing about modding, but if you need a beta tester I'm on it.

Oh, if you post a list of things you need (info about something, pictures, that sort of thing) to the public, I would provide a lot of help. I'm sure others would too.

If you're willing to sign up as a beta please PM Ghost_dk. I'm not sure we're having a waiting list as of now though.

Events, ideas and discussion are always welcome, and usually a public debate (mostly on the terranova forums). As to source imagery, well we already have more than 2GB lying around, so we're pretty well stocked. One of the plus sides of having a stable mod team. But if we need something specific we'll ask for some help. Though it's amazing what you can find using Google...

So....when is it going to be released? :rofl:

But seriously, glad to hear that you are planning to do CORE3. The new (increased) modding possibilities will make this even more interesting than before...although it could be both a blessing and a curse I suppose (hopefully more of the former )

Maybe after the game is released. But just maybe.
I hope there is still a chance it can be released before HOI3 comes out.

You certainly may hope. Chances that the first CORE3 will be out that fast are basically zero though. We do have to do this in our spare time, you know.
