Why are we making Son of Argan?
The idea of creating Son of Argan started during the course "Create a Game" during our Communication and Multimedia Design training at the Hogeschool van Arnhem en Nijmegen. Because we needed to do a minor to obtain our Bachelor's degree we decided that we want to further advance our knowledge of creating computer games. Because the small size of our project team we needed to find a way to create a high quality playable game which contains enough content to be interesting for a couple of hours. After some tests and discussions we believed it would be possible with the help of available community tools to export assets like textures and basic 3d models from World of Warcraft. This way we could advance and prove our skills in creating a game without the need to create everything ourselves.
Will Son of Argan ever be released?
Due to copyrights on the used assets it is most unlikely that we will ever release a fully playable version of the game. Expect to see some screenshots and movies, but without the permission of Blizzard Entertainment we are not allowed to distribute any other files.
