The Cania Believe It Works team would like to thank everyone who actively shared their feedback over the past few weeks. At the same time, they are opening recruitment and inviting creative minds to collaborate on the creation of future acts!

Who is needed?

A key decision made by the team at the very beginning of development was the rejection of AI-assisted tools in their creative work (except as a coding aid). If you would like to apply to co-create this project, we kindly ask you to respect this established workflow. This project is all about human craftsmanship.

• Voice Actors – upcoming acts of Blizzard in Baator need the right-sounding voices. Can you strike the stoically calm tone of a githzerai or deliver lines with the ruthless arrogance of a fiend? Send in your sample!
• 3D Artists – the team is looking for asset designers (the game engine accepts models in .glb format) able to create animated characters and monsters; assistance with rendering 2D animation frames according to provided instructions.
• 2D Artists – the team is looking for artists with a passion for creating in-game illustrations, as well as experienced cartographers (world and location maps).
• Scripters – technical minds with good knowledge of WeiDU and the Infinity Engine environment (including NearInfinity). Practical experience in creating and modifying game assets (.cre, .itm, .spl, .are, .2da) is required.

The writing team is virtually complete. However, if you have exceptional writing skills and know Planescape lore inside out, there is still a possibility to welcome an additional writer aboard.

If you are interested, please contact the team at: cania.believe.it@gmail.com (you can also find them on Discord).

The Cania Believe It Works team asks that you include a sample of your skills (voice recording, 3d models, writing sample, etc.) right along with your application.

Note: The Blizzard in Baator mod is a project created by fans, for fans. It is distributed for free and receives no funding whatsoever. By choosing to collaborate, please keep in mind that this is a non-commercial project.

Blizzard in Baator update

We would also like to inform you that two patches for the demo version have recently been released on GitHub. These updates fix, among other things, bugs that prevented the doors to the Great Foundry from opening, issues with displaying certain dialogue options (including Alviro’s) and glitches in Kabatum’s shop. They also introduce better support for Linux operating systems.

You can find the latest release of the mod here.

How to start the Adventure?

You can start the expansion using an old save file (provided you have already returned from Carceri), or by speaking to a special zombie in the Mortuary. This zombie will teleport you to the appropriate stage of the game, allowing you to choose your companions, faction, and character class. You will also receive an experience boost to match the mod’s difficulty level.

What is Blizzard in Baator about?

Blizzard in Baator begins when the Nameless One receives a request to meet with a fiend named Tergush’tekhn. The Abishai will reawaken the memories of one of your past incarnations and task you with finding your former companion, Fury-Vehement, who went missing in Cania, the eighth layer of Hell. To begin, you will head to the Ditch – a wide, foul-smelling sewer on the border of the Lower Ward and the Hive – where you will start your search for a portal to the frozen wastes.

The Ditch, like every corner of Sigil, hides numerous secrets. Along the banks of its murky waters, you will find a bustling settlement and several taverns. You will also witness the brewing conflict between two factions.

The mod features:

• Over 20 new locations to explore.
• More than 100 new characters to meet.
• An entirely original soundtrack composed specifically for the mod.
• Over a dozen new cutscenes.

All graphic assets, music, voice acting, and dialogues were created without the use of AI.

A Note from the Authors

To all past and future Planewalkers! After more than two years of hard work that would put Lady’s dabuses to shame, we can finally share with you the first act of Blizzard in Baator – the biggest expansion to Planescape: Torment ever. We estimate that to beat act 1 you’d need about 10+ hours.

We’re very proud of what we’ve prepared, but we don’t intend to rest on our laurels. The work on act 2 is going full steam ahead, but in the meantime we’d love to get some feedback from you – you can tell us at cania.believe.it@gmail.com what you’ve enjoyed and what we can still improve. Each message gives you good karma points, we have that on good authority from our contact in Elysium.

We just want to wish you a lot of fun, awesome loot, and many unforgettable memories that only traversing the planes can give you.
