Does gamesas still hold the rights for this engine? Does it still have the software data of project Jefferson (Baldur's Gate 3: the black hound) stored somewhere?

I wonder if it would be possible to ressurect the ex-Baldur's Gate 3 project that was canned a few years ago even if this was done as a non-lucrative module/game. I know a few people who would be interested in buying the project.

They don't have the license for any further DnD related games, so the material in likely unusable. Theres currently a Baldurs Gate 3 module being worked on for NWN2 if I'm not mistaken. Although that could be something I dreamt.

J.E. Sawyer, the lead designer of Jefferson, is working on recreating it as a free NWN2 module. The Vault - Fallout Wiki * Fallout Online * Fallout IRC Channel * Fallout: New Vegas

Are you serious? I mean, I know nothing of this Jefferson Project but if it's related to the old baldurs and free... I'm interested.

No, it's not really related to the old Baldurs aside from also being set in the Forgotten Realms setting and (originally) having a similar style of gameplay. The real title of the game was "The Black Hound", but it had to be named "Baldur's Gate 3: The Black Hound" because at that time "Baldur's Gate" was the only D&D title gamesas had the rights to.

J.E. Sawyer is working on it in his free time, and he's pretty busy working on other games for a living, so I wouldn't expect it to come out soon.

Anyway, here's more info:

Oh well. It's good J.E. Sawyer is still interested. Anyway, thanks for the info.

They might still have the engine. However, some of the art assets were supposedly sold to Obsidian Entertainment.

Isn't that project pretty much dead?

Seems not.

I wonder if Sammael's Jefferson archive is still around? That thing was huge.
