    Co8 is happy to announce the upcoming re-release of ToEE on Steam.

    https://store.steampowered.com/app/3843520/The_Temple_of_Elemental_Evil/

    Published by SNEG, this release will integrate both Temple+ and the Circle of Eight Standard modpack version 8.1.0 into a stable, comprehensive package suitable for running on modern systems.

    The planned release date is December 10, 2025.

    Additionally, Co8 is very happy to announce that SNEG has generously donated the amount of $10,000 USD in Co8's name to the Extra Life charity.

    https://www.extra-life.org/participants/564234#

    A big thank you goes out to SNEG, and to every Co8 modder who's ever contributed to the modpack. None of this would have been possible without each of you.

    ---

    Feel free to use this thread as a discussion board for the release, but bear in mind this is not a bug thread. ToEE will doubtless still have some legacy bugs, but Co8 is not going to be directly involved in any patching that's potentially done, outside of consultation.

    Lastly, thanks again to all the players of ToEE over the years who have used the modpack. Ultimately, this release would not have come about if it weren't for your continued interest in this great game. We hope you enjoy it in its newest form all over again. :)

    Thanks for the post and the info on Sneg's donation.

    I'll add my own thanks to all the modders and play testers who helped to keep this game alive.

    This is of course fantastic news!!!

    Question: C08 has generously shared their work with SNEG. Apart from perhaps asking consultation, will SNEG be offering to Co8 what they've been doing in terms of code/patches of their final product?
    As in, will future endeavors/content created by Co8 be able to function on whatever SNEG is putting out?

    Or phrased differently: will C08 be actively steering towards opening their future creations up to a larger audience by consciously designing content that also functions on the SNEG-base that the Steam-audience has running?

    Considering this is one of the few 3.x edition RPG-computer games out there (and a BANGER at that), this Steam-release could invigorate the modding scene for this version greatly! Might even lure local old-timers out of hiding, no? Sitra? anatoliy? gazra? Who knows?!? :)

    I certainly miss Anatoliy, and I even miss Gazra. Pretty sure Sitra is around.

    @anatoliy is in hiding, mostly from the government mandated Ukraine Army conscription, and with extended periods of electricity blackouts all through the country right now I can imagine that would make mod writing for ToEE challenging at best, I wish him well and for a speedy resolution of the conflict he's enduring.

    Yeah I'm around, but not really active anymore. Don't have much time and energy for that anymore with 4 kids and Mrs. Sitra doing hospital shifts :confused:

    this is cool. it also explains an item i noticed on steam a few minutes ago.
    on a screenshot from the fire elemental node i saw the chest that is picked up from the zombie jail cells under the moathouse.
    was pretty confident that chest is a Co8 item.
    when ToEE was announced on steam there was a thread here wondering if SNEG had contacted y'all.
    i am very happy they reached out to y'alls great group.
    much love and respect, kilraven.

    Edit; after rereading primary post now i'm really excited
    i no longer remember what content was in 8.1
    this is going to be so much fun!
    guess what i'll be playing for my 62nd birthday.
