The Future of WW2 Chronicles
Hello!

WW2 Chronicles was born in 2012 and was actively developed under my leading role until 2015. During this period we made some great innovation for the game in the creation of unique features, mechanics, visuals and gameplay aspects. There is no need to remind anyone that content of this mod especially so in the above respects are widespread to other mods and might have even inspired the developers of this game for their projects. A quick shout out to Chris Kramer 'Instinct', CEO of DMS who kindly gave me 2 keys for Call to Arms when he contacted me about the mod.

We all know as well, that the constant updates for the game brought many issues to the mod, namely bugs and visual errors. BurnTheDice and Uwo kindly have taken my position as active developers of the mod and are making a great effort. In addition, many parts of this mod have been borrowed in other community content as I have mentioned and the impact of WW2 Chronicles in the modding community of MoW has been remarkable and appreciated, and I am happy my work and now BurnTheDice's and Uwo's work is being played directly or indirectly by dozens of thousands of people.

I digress with respect to the previous point, I am terribly sorry for the periods of negative impact this mod has had to you, players, when the game was updated and the mod was left buggy as a result. The reality is, time flows and I have not had that 25th hour of the day to dedicate to WW2Chronicles. WW2 Chronicles isn't a 'new' project. The mod was first released in 2012 for MoWAS1. This means it has been running for a long time and few mods have accomplished that milestone. It has been the desire of you players who made the developers make that extra mile to update the mod.

So, what have I done since I stopped working on the mod? The mod received a 'finished' state in May 2015 and was released in summer 2015. At the same time since the beginning of 2015 I had been working on my larger project 'Gates of Hell' https://steamhost.cn/app/400750/

The work on GoH did not stop me from updating this mod several times over despite the shortage of time, with 'real' work schedule + GoH. I must say the arrival of my fellow friends that work on the mod nowadays have been a sigh of releif for me and I am confident you will also appreciate their work. WW2C means a lot to me and It has greately affected my appreciation for this game engine. I dedicate my time now almost exclusively to Gates of Hell but I do and always will remember my time making and playing this project.

To end this open letter, I thank all who have enjoyed this mod and gave it a thumbs-up, I wish you all a long and enjoyable time playing WW2 Chronicles and all the other mods who use my content. I hope one day you have a try at my bigger project and just like I have recently done with Strat29 and Shotter (MoWAS2 competitive players) I am helping them with their mods, feel free to contact me in an hour of need, all in all I want to ensure this family of Gem2 games and their community grow like I have witnessed through the past 12 years.

Tally ho!

I didn't realise the developer of this mod was the developer of Gates of Hell, I'm so damn keen for it. Well done, :D

I suppose with the mentioned bugs and issues that arose since summer '15 for the mod as it's parent game evolved, perhaps you think some issues or problems have been transfered to Gates of Hell :3

Don't worry since work on GoH is new from scratch ;)

I just want to buy and support you for your new game. I tried to play your mod WW2C but the enemy soldiers textures are bugged. If someone has an idea ;)

Can you replace Hungarian Reserve army and Italian reserve army skin?
they had similar uniform and helmet as German in WW2C mod gameplay!
