Little tease. 
But indeed, that is the case. We are constantly working on DoR in order to actually complete the assets. We largely value deeds over words.
As for me, right now I am remaking the town's fortifications, which are one of the few last 3D models to finish for the town screen (to note: 3D model =/= materials and textures). Don't worry, the general snowflake-walls castle with towers design won't change. 
Really interesting piece

You're welcome! And indeed, that's right, it is a part of the town screen! Same goes for the gif with the modified building above.
@fiorin
Thank you! I have to give credit where it's due, and say that the author of that building's model is @Lord_Immortal (he has joined the team last year). Materials made by me and another member.

Awesome! Thanks for the insight.

This kind of news made my day
I have a few questions about these pictures, but probably this would go too far and you will share more information later.

Do you think maybe you made the announcement thread for DoR a year too early?

@Winston
It's a teaser announcement thread. This thread will be closed when the mod is announced in its entirety. At first, it seemed to have perhaps been made too early, but not long after that our team has started to grow significantly, and the growth still continues.

Just the usual
There isn't much new to really announce or show for now, at least not without spoiling too much. Even for the past month, I've been working on either town screen, nitpicking details or developing yet-unannounced content. Same goes for other team members, most of whom probably don't even have a Heroes Community account. =p
But yeah, despite the silence in here, there is progress every day. I too am very eager to show substantial things, but everything must be done properly and at the right moment.

FirePaladin, lets do a questions/answers spoilerless.
From the lineup, which is your favorite creature? Without revealing, why is that? Is too out of the curve?
In a scale of Inferno to Necropolis, how strong are those cold elves?
(I really like inferno as much necro)
The other town screen you have been working, the theme would be evil, good or neutral?

Alright!
From the Palace lineup, my favorite creature has to be either the default T6 or T7. Why? I am fan of both their concept and execution. And of course, VFX. I can say that both of them are creatures which I've seen the community ask for or theorize about, as well as concepts which NWC has touched. Might not be that hard to guess what they are, actually.
I do like both Inferno and Necro too! And the town themes (including the more x-files-y intro to Inferno) are quite atmospheric.
If by "Cold Elves" you mean "Snow Elves and High Elves", I'd say around Castle/Rampart-level (though it's still a bit of a rough reference for a creature)? Offensively and against ranged units, they are better than Magi, but they have lower defenses (at least with test stats), so a bit better than Tower. If you mean "Palace", case in which the scale makes more sense, I can't tell for sure so far. I am not a pro player, despite encouraging a fairly pro-PvP attitude myself. But it's definitely no Inferno haha! And there are some interesting traits to play with. I might be saying too much by telling you that Palace heroes have a certain time-related advantage....
The theme of the other town screen I'm working on is Evil.

As a Day of the Destroyer player, I feel obligated to put in a Frost Giant guess at that - as with the more Gigantes-leaning Tower Giants being high tier seems fitting, and while NWC didn't show frost giants, they did establish them as existing on Vori (and as being at least sufficiently sophisticated to be master cheesemakers, so certainly not mere brutes).

User avatar checks out =p
In fact, MM8 is not the only apparition of Frost Giants in the MM franchise either: there is such a monster in MM1 too, as well as a Frost Giant named "Yanmir" in MM9.
They are actually present in HoMM2 as well, albeit not visually:
And have a little, silly Frost Giant-related meme at the end (I assume MM8 players will get it):

Dear DoR-Team,
Four months have passed and of course you‘re working hard in the background. Maybe it‘s time for another hint, screenshot or something similar?

Hi, everyone! I apologize for the delay in writing a message to you all. These last weeks have been busy for me and other team members with summer time! Whatever free time I have is usually spent working on DoR, rather than anything else. In a similar vein, an esteemed community member has covered the "difficulties" of writing even smaller updates, on df2.
As far as Palace itself goes, the only remaining tasks are the siege screen (it has already been sketched, and awaits graphical implementation), some hero work, as well as the polishing of one creature and a few aspects of the town screen. We are also spending time on many other things such as map objects, various QoLs tweaks of older content, other creatures, etc.
As for sharing something more concrete, here is a screenshot which some of you might have previously seen in an AcidCave thread!
If you're wondering about the lack of base/upgrade of some of the creatures you have already seen, that is because we don't want to spoil those versions yet. A few of you might have also spotted a tease of the fortifications' model, in a Discord server!
Lastly, a full update is almost ready... stay tuned!
