 Definitely
  
 This is what I get after running Forge in latest vcmi build with more meaningful output:

 Some of these are minor warning but some are obvious bugs that should be fixed.

| Well... kinda? He said he'd be happy to do it! Does it get any better? Judging form his response, I don't think that those five are his at all... if he really composed them, would he forget about them altogether? Anyway, I suggest you send him those five just in case, but other than that, forget about them and focus on getting him to compose a new one if he can manage. 
 LOL at the modding comunity being "half-dead", but such things are better left unsaid
  You'll ruin what little initiative they do have   |

 Don't like this Forge - don't play it. That's all.

| Anyways, I send him another e-mail (which contained the dubious 5 soundtracks - but given the e-mail in which he confirmed the tracks being his work having very similar writing style or however you call it, he might've just forgotten about them). 
 Also, you can always call "half-dead" "half-alive" instead.
 I dunno.
 
 All I know is that another e-mail is due in relatively short order. (despite me having to wait 3 weeks for the first response, and a further week to realize it)

 Actually there is a hell of bugs. I just don't get them all after a hour-two.
 How you check it?
 
 1) index of icons for creatures and for heroes is the same (from 300 on...) It's very very bad. Use different indexs for you fraction. For example, town icon index from 53000, creatures index from 53100 and heroes index from 53200
 
 2) There are a lot of misspellings in name of abilities, and syntax errors.
 I use this online tool for checking jsons:
 
 http://jsonlint.com/
 
 Just open json in Notepad, Ctrl+A, then Ctrl-V info form, and press Validate. And fix error until there is a green colour.

 I actually didn't. I'm not the tester, just artist, and I'm not really into VCMI technical aspects.

 It was based on Preserve, so that's probably why. It definitely would be changed in the future if there were any further versions. Now it's just for fun.

 Quote:Hello.
 I've been lurking here for a while but now that some kind of beta of the forge is out I thought I'd join and try it out. So far it looks pretty good.
 For Pellish and anyone else interested, some screenshots:
 
 
  First hero I got
 
 
  Partially built town
 
 
  Non-upgraded creatures
 
 
  Mostly upgraded town
 
 
  Upgraded creatures
 
 It's probably not everything but it's something.
 There's definitely some bugs to work out (mostly graphical, but the game crashes a lot too) and I think some of the units look a little out of place. Otherwise it's quite cool. Minotaurs are especially great, whoever made them deserves an award.
