There isn't really much info released yet. You should at least show some story ideas or at least some early WIP screenshot to attract people.

I actually wasn't gonna comment when I saw that there isn't much going on on this project but decided to subscribe just because of this Class:

Bard

RO rocks. .\,,/


Good luck. I'll follow this one.

 

[GIMLI_2]

[kakuzu]

It look intesting !

 

[Heinvers]

I haven't expected to see a bard in there tbh

Well, not much to comment so far

 

[Argos]

I know that song from Two Steps From Hell

Pretty cool!

 

[bethmachine]

It look intesting !

There's really nothing to look at maybe add some more info...
But from the classes I read this looks promising and will be supporting.

 

[GIMLI_2]

Pretty cool!

yeah, two steps is awesome!


thanks for your comments.
what i've planned/already finished for this day:
-some new items (finished)
-equipment system (nearly finished)
-backpack system (not finished)
-some fixes (not finished)

 

[Argos]

Can you show us some screens already?

 

[kakuzu]

Yeah , some screenshots will be good !

 

[GIMLI_2]

there's still no terrain made in my map, but i'll try to post some screenshots asap

 

[GIMLI_2]

Added a terrain screenshot. i think it looks very empty until now, i'll try my best to improve it and i hope you can give me some basic tips about terraining and what i could improve

Update

02.10.2014
-Added Equipment System
-Created some Items
-Added Backpack System
-Minor Changes

 

[sonofjay]

Not bad for starters. Best way to improve your terraining skill is to take a look on other terrains and just keep practicing.

thanks, i will try to take a look on other terraineirs


updated my first post. showing stats now

 

[kakuzu]

It is good for start , good luck with it !

 

[GIMLI_2]

It is good for start , good luck with it !

thank you.

i imported some terraining stuff into my map so i can finally start to expand the area and show you some screenshots soon.

 

[GIMLI_2]

finished some more things today, like changing animations depending on your item. i also made some terrain and i think it looks not that bad
i also made the first ability for the cleric

 

[GIMLI_2]

Added a new screenshot! i'm open for suggestions

hey gimli you want help with your project?

 

[GIMLI_2]

hey gimli you want help with your project?

i'd really like to get some help with the terraining stuff. but you are already busy with your own project and i would need someone who does the whole terrain. it would look stupid to have a mixture of my bad terrain and yours
if you want, you can do some indoor areas for me, it looks strange if i do it on my own.

 

[GIMLI_2]

i created the full drop list of the first area in the text editor. i just have to create them in the world editor.
just a small overview what i still have to do.
-make all the items (as mentioned above)
-terrain (this will take the most time i think)
-create 2 abilities for each class
-add casting bar system (this is done in about 10 minutes)
-finish item/stat system
-create boss abilities
-gold/experience system (not that much work)
-quests

 

[galactcus]

well i will see what i can do... send me your map

 

[GIMLI_2]

i'll send you the map as soon as i finished all my stuff

 

[galactcus]

i'll send you the map as soon as i finished all my stuff

sure! but i really want that we work together in a project T>T

 

[GIMLI_2]

i created all the creeps that are necessary for the first alpha release, i also started thinking about the 2 base abilities for each class

 

[GIMLI_2]

added a new screenshot of the ingame combat.

 

[GIMLI_2]

finished some other things.
i am also open for suggestions of the hero abilities. i already got some but maybe you guys have some awesome ideas
there will be a talent system, so you can think about an ability and its "upgrade"

 

[Gwy]

Talent System - just 1 formal suggestion:
- make more Talent Points then the highest possible level. Else (as in tkok) in the late game all chars are becoming more and more similar.

 

[GIMLI_2]

make more Talent Points then the highest possible level

i dont get it :O

 

[Gwy]

ok, second trial:
In tkok you have a talent system.
In Lvl 1-20 this system is relevant, because you cab specify your character. But Lvl 20+ its getting more and more irrelevant: your left points fill up the rest of the talents. So you end with an charakter what reached all talents, but has no specification.
Better?

 

[GIMLI_2]

yeah, got it now. i didnt know that you can skill every talent in tkok, but i think that's exactly the opposite what a talent system should be like. you should be able to go different directions, like an offensive or heal build on a priest

 

[GIMLI_2]

i remade some parts of the terrain, i will show you some screenshots as soon as possible

 

[GIMLI_2]

New screenshots of the reworked village! it's not 100% finished, some details are missing and there need to be some villagers. you can find them on the front page or here. i am open for suggestions!

New Village

 

[neven1]

Looks great.

 

[Chaosy]

Avengers assemble!

edit: On topic though, the terrain looks sweet. Sadly I dislike the title since it makes me think it's a super hero map with the avengers or something like that.

 

[GIMLI_2]

Looks great.

thanks

EDIT: thanks for your comment chaosy. i chose the name because of a song from "two steps from hell" that inspired me. it is called like my map - "protectors of the earth", check it out if you dont know it

 

[GIMLI_2]

Here is a list what i thought about all the classes, how they will work.

Cleric: Obviously the main tank in the game, he got a shield as offhand so he has a high amount of armor / block rate, but also many defensive abilities. he will get his threat with some of his abilities that will create extra threat. he got some supportive abilities, spells based on strenght or attackpower, but also some spellpower abilities.

Barbarian: A melee fighter with a very high strength and attack power. his ability to use mail armor and his high strength growth makes him tough. he can hold aggro with his AoE spells which are mainly based on attackpower.

Commander: A bowman which can hold mail armor, which makes him a bit tanky, but not that much. he is supposed to be a supporter who increase his team's power with offensive buffs. he also has some decent damage output.

Hunter: Range attacker with high attack power and many offensive abilities.

Rogue: Melee assassin who deals high amount of damage to enemies. he can go invisible and tries to backstab enemies.

Bard: Other than the Commander, he has defensive buffs and even low healing output. he can wear instruments which also have an aura.

Druid: One of two main healers. he got strong heal over time abilities but also a good damage output with nature spells.

Arcanist: He deals magical damage with his strong AoE and target spells.

Shadow Priest: The second main healer, he has strong damage over time abilities, but also can heal his allies. he has a higher attack power than the other intelligence classes, which makes his auto attacks more effective.

 

[sonofjay]

Bard: Other than the Commander, he has defensive buffs and even low healing output. he can wear instruments which also have an aura.

Please make him as an a little above average offensive class too!

Oh and the terrain is nice.

 

[GIMLI_2]

every class will have some damage output, i'll try my best to make him as offensive as possible but his buffs are still defensive

Oh and the terrain is nice.

thanks

About the item drops:

Normal creeps can drop 4 different white items and to a lower chance the 4 items of the weaker creep (that means if you kill a lvl 5 enemy you also can get items from the lvl 4 creep, but the chances are lower)
high leveled creeps (in an area) can drop one green item but only 3 white items.
the boss of the area can drop 2 new green items, the 2 green items from the high level creep and 2 blue items.
dungeon bosses can drop purple items.
dungeon end bosses can drop orange items.

 

[sonofjay]

I like that the items have different colors depending on its rarity but I will also prefer if it will have rarity names like normal, rare, artifact, legendary and so on since its faster to memorize the item rarity that way.

good idea! should i do it more like this: SomeItem (Rare) or: Rare SomeItem?

 

[sonofjay]

Either is actually fine but for readability sake go for the first one. Or you can just put the rarity on the description. If you want some tooltip example then I can show you one.

until now my tooltip looks like that:

Screen

 

[sonofjay]

That is good enough. But maybe you can also put the "Accessory Level 5" in a category. It looks awkward up there.

 

[Heinvers]

Looking good.

 

[GIMLI_2]

Looking good.

thanks
i made some more terrain today, i'll post some screenshots tomorrow

 

[GIMLI_2]

sorry for uploading no screenshots i'll do it soon, i promise.
i made some more items today. i also decided to make the map content that is needed to reach level and then i'll release the first alpha, so you guys can try it out. after that i'll do the level caps step by step

 

[robizeratul]
