Journey

[TheFairfield]

Journey

The Kingdom of Lordaeron has fallen.
King Terenas is dead, killed by his own son, Arthas, and the Undead Scourge ravages the land. All hope seems lost.

Yet, despite the chaos surrounding it, the village of Ambermill continues it's day to day existence.
Corinthus is a Gilnean veteran of the Second War, who defected to Lordaeron before the closing of the Greymane Wall. He spends his time with his friend Derakos, a senior member of the Kirin Tor. Together they have made the best of their lives.

But now that is all about to change...

Information
Journey is a single player campaign focused around strategy and logic, not unlike the campaigns created by OutsiderXE.
As you play through the campaign, you will venture through several familiar areas of the Eastern Kingdoms, from the Plaguelands to the Elwynn Forest, and will also meet several colourful characters that will help you on your quest.

Features

• Six unique playable heroes.
• A strategic and sometimes challenging approach to combat.
• Levels designed to incorporate puzzles and obstacles that you must use logic to surpass.
• More features coming soon.

[Phoonix]

as i said on skype, it's a very good early stage setup, i love the fact that it will be something to break your had about from time to time, not the mindless massacre that many maps out there have.

 

[TheFairfield]

The puzzles in the campaign will often require collaboration between two or more heroes. I'm planning on designing the heroes abilities to be meant mainly for the obstacles instead of just for combat.

 

[Kino]

Very intresting, its almost exactly lie an idea i had once.

What genre is this anyway?

 

[TheFairfield]

I can't really put a name to it's genre. Maybe someone else can.

 

[indomitable1319]

Terrainer, Triggerer.

So what happened to WotH?

People Needed

* Terrainers

If you're not looking for "very complicated" terrains then I'm here.. Also me and my cousins are here to beta test the map..

 

[TheFairfield]

Terrainer, Triggerer.

So what happened to WotH?

Well, my computer broke (not crashed, BROKE). Besides, I decided the project too big of an undertaking for a relatively new map maker like my self.

Anyways, glad to have you on the team!

Great! Thanks for joining!

 

[Vengeancekael]

I hope the blizzard cliffs will be gone in the final version, because the lower/... tools are better.

As for the content, I'm waiting for some more screenshots or videos.
I could perhaps help you with some things triggering things, because I'm very busy right now and I can only work in the weekends. What I could help you with would be cinematics maybe(if not I could just give you some tips) and if you need a multiboard, just tell me.
Good luck.


----
Also, don't post too many map updates here, keep working on the map so that you don't lose the motivation to actually continue working on it. And don't get distracted by other users saying that Warcraft 3 is dead, if you're having fun making it, then make it and I'm sure there will be people playing it afterwards.

 

[TheFairfield]

Thanks for the advice! And I'd be glad to have you on the team!

 

[indomitable1319]

Yes, Blizzard Cliffs are not necessary because you can replace them with good use of the Raise and Lower tools.

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Id be glad to join as a triggerer or a terrainer. This project sounds good. Good luck on it.

 

[RaijinSpark]

Blizzard cliff don't suck it depends to the person who uses it.. his skills.. I can give you a map who uses blizzard cliff but the terrain is still good (atleast not crappy ) try FotN (Founders of The North)

TheFairfield,

I'm glad I made it into the team, doing something atm I will be back lurking on this thread later just tell me the details and such when I come back..

 

[indomitable1319]

Cliffs look good if they are covered up with doodads. Doodads that look good, at least.

 

[TheFairfield]

Id be glad to join as a triggerer or a terrainer. This project sounds good. Good luck on it.

Glad to have you on board!

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Np Fairfield

 

[RaijinSpark]

ok back, now.. where do we start

 

[TheFairfield]

Well, I'm currently working on the opening cinematic. When I'm done with that, I'll call in the team for the rest of the campaign.

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Around when will it be done?

 

[TheFairfield]

Today if everything goes according to plan...

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Well we all (I think so...) will be waiting.

 

[TheFairfield]

I've only got to do the triggers now.

 

[indomitable1319]

TF, if you want, I will take a good screenshot and make a logo of the project.
A screenshot of the Prologue.
Or something else.

 

[TheFairfield]

Already got one on the waiting list for a Bladetitan Signature.

 

[indomitable1319]

I may have to ask mine to be resized. My standard is 215x37 pixels.

 

[TheFairfield]

Sorry guys, can't get the map to you today. Me and Wolfe have some serious story work to get done.

 

[Eldubs]

Your sig made me thing your map was as good as your sig :/

 

[indomitable1319]

Eldubs, that is not a good thing to say.
You wouldn't know if it was bad or not.

 

[TheFairfield]

When you followed my signature's link, you were on the Hive's Times thread, weren't you?

 

[TheFairfield]

Intro cinematic triggers finished. Wolfe is currently working on the terrain now.

 

[Legion_King]

Seems to be interesting, might be a perfect campaign with such people's teamwork.
To me the name Drakku sounds more like a troll name at least to me.

 

[TheFairfield]

Really? I never imagined it to be a troll name. Also, it's pronounced Drar-koo, not Dra-koo.

 

[Legion_King]

You know, because I've heard and seen like Zul'Drak, Drakkari, Drakuru or something, that's why it seemed like that to me.
And is it going to be based on warcraft lore or it was only the past story?

 

[TheFairfield]

What do you mean by "past story"?

 

[Legion_King]

Story
In the village of Ambermill in Silverpine Forest, Corinthus, and his friend Derakos often go to the local inn to talk about fighting and magic with the other patrons. One night, on their way home from the inn, they are knocked unconcious by a huge explosion. Rescued by the dwarf Korrathin, they make their way to Dalaran, only to discover it has been destroyed. They decide that the only remaining safe place in Lordaeron is Hearthglen, and begin the journey north...

Didn't know what better sentence to use for that. This one I meant, except for the character names, the places, lore, etc.

 

[TheFairfield]

It will be based on WarCraft lore.

 

[Eldubs]

Eldubs, that is not a good thing to say.
You wouldn't know if it was bad or not.

Never said this looks bad, but doesnt look as good as his signature

 

[TheFairfield]

Oh, I see. My mistake. Thanks for the signature compliment! I'm actually on Dragonson's waiting list for his Bladetitan signatures. I'm hoping he does a good job (which he always has so far)!

 

[Eldubs]

If warcraft was like in his signature i would never stop gaming

 

[TheFairfield]

Same here. Hell, that's a lie. I'll always be a gamer.

 

[Windu]

So from now on I will take part in the development of the campaign "Journey" (or try my best to xD).

 

[TheFairfield]

Yep. I've added you to the credits as a triggerer and a terrainer.

 

[Tleno]

Intresting project... I might give you some ideas sometimes... you know, if I'll come up with any...

 

[TheFairfield]

That's promising.

 

[Windu]

I am posting some screenshots from the intro cinematic.
I will appreciate comments/suggestions etc.

Screens:

 

[indomitable1319]

Stop right there!
That variation of grass does not fit with that grass tile.
Is the one they used in Gaia's Retaliation, the thin, fine ones. I think it was called Grass Animated (1).

 

[TheFairfield]

Indomitable, as it says in the screenshots, not all screenshots are of the final product.

 

[Vengeancekael]

Love the screenshots actually and yeah they're not completely polished, but it's still work in progress.
Also could you maybe tell us what kind of stuff you want the triggerers to make?

 

[TheFairfield]

At the moment, Wolfe and I are still working on the story of the campaign. What we're discussing now is different abilities for each of the heroes. We'll definitely need some spells to be made. And we also have things such as the Scourge's assault on Stromgarde, which will require lots of triggering. Bossfights will likely need triggering help and we have plans for a one on one battle at a major location in the Eastern Kingdoms, which will require lots of work.

 

[Windu]

Well, I guess Vengeancekael as well as me will be ready to do what we can for that, no ? ^^
