There's tons of planned, half-baked and abandoned mods to DH, but few complete. (Come to think of it, I only know one mod who offers a complete new revamped story, with more than just new gfx, new countries, etc.)

Most of these are the creations of one sole creator, who have given up the mods (some really promising!) because of real life, no more passion, no interest from others, etc. It's a pity.

I have but one request: If you make a mod, and lose interest in it, just release it the way it is. There's hundreds of modern warfare mods for HoI/DH, and the authors all lose interest in it because the sheer amount of stuff that needs doing to replace the WW2 setting for a modern one, new ministers, leaders, TT's, technology tree, etc, etc, and they all have to start from scratch. If those who had started a new mw mod just uploaded whatever they've got when they dropped the project, we would probably have some finished mw mods.

So please, don't wait until you're 100% finished.
 
It's interesting to see the different standards modders and professional gaming industry people are held to today. In the Sword of the Stars II thread, the players are begging the devs to not release half baked alphas as "full" versions (incidentally, kudos to AoD/IC/DH devs for releasing fully functional games on release and adding features in patches instead of fixing game brokeness) while here modders are being asked to release what they have. .....Just noting it.

On a more related note, I always release what I have whenever possible. Don't get a ton of feedback as I would like for an open alpha though.

New mod is Kaiserreich, is it not?

RDD is new
 
This really needs to be done. I know a lot of modders that would take these mods up.

I'm fairly sure if the choice was between "we will never release this patch/game" and "we will release an unfinished one", players would choose the latter. In the case of mods, this thread is about abandoned mods that never saw the light of day - and asking those teams to release them so others can finish them.
 
Yeah seriously just because it doesn't have all leaders/tech teams for Uganda or Indonesian Empire it doesn't mean it is unreleasable...
