heXen:Edge of Chaos will be a new and free game, based on the original Hexen game which was developed by ID Software and Raven Software.
In order to play this game you will need to have 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 started, over 4 years ago, with the development of Hexen:Edge of Chaos.
Edge of Chaos is being developed by a team of fans who have always liked the original Hexen when it came out. In fact, most of us spent many hours with the original Hexen game. When ID Software released Doom3, we all immediately saw immense potential for a Hexen game developed on the engine by ID Software, it's 'Hell' maps gave us the inspiration to make a hack and slash game based, primarily based on Hexen 1 gameplay, you'll even be able to visit some places that you've seen in other Hexen adventures.
Our story ties into the expansion packs and also touches upon the story in the Heretic games, these worlds and stories are full of legend and lore.
Currently we have all assets (sounds, textures, models) in place. With the exception of some creatures and monsters that need more work, our main focus at this point lies in actually creating the content of the game, also called 'mapping'.
We are still looking for talented mappers, so if you have some wok to show and think you might be able to help us, make sure to drop us a line!
But before we release, take a dive with us into the world of magic, lore and strife : Read the Journal of Roden. (coming 25th of March)
