Last Hope campaign- unfinished?
Recently I've started playing H3 again (as it'd be possible to stop), so I decided to try maps I was unable to tackle at first time. Of course first in mind came Last Hope- H2 campaign recreated for WoG purposes. Obviously it's one of best campaigns I've ever seen. Sadly, even though readme file states that campaign has 7 maps (and originally it does), I was unable to find last three:"Cave of Dreams" "Retribution" and "Abode of Evil".
I know that it was unfinished few years ago, but I wasn't tracking H3 news recently, so I'm asking: what's current state of remake? Is it suspended? Cancelled? In development? Or maybe it was released and I simply couldn't find it? It'd be a shame if such an excellent campaign would be abandoned

The mapmaker suffered serious injures while being pecked to death by chickens. Not sure he will recover.

I appreciate the interest. You haven't missed it. It is in development currently. I will make some kind of official announcement when it is nearing testing phase. There will be significant updates to the first four maps as well. These are actually already finished, but I'm holding back on them again until map 5 nears completion. Probably this would have happened already some time ago, but I lost half my team to attrition, so I am doing all the design work and writing myself now. Two years and still going. One day it will get done, provided I don't die of old age first.

It's great to know it hasn't been abandoned. I'm currently trying to beat THUNK (both map and hero) and it's quite hard. Still, I enjoy it 
BTW- Are You planning to bundle these maps to single campaign file? Would be nice to have hero moved with all his skills.

We have considered that option. It is still on the table but the priority is to finish all of the maps first. Which at the current rate of progress should be around the year 2025 or so. Part of the difficulty of converting to a campaign is that the existing maps are not balanced for carry-over of experience for the main levels.

They can be packed into a campaign, but without stats/artefacts/spells connection. Means 7 independent maps, to play in a given order and save as campaign.
To get the connections working, every map should be redesigned from scratch, taking in consideration new parameters. Unfeasible.
