[Strategy / Risk] War of the Clans

[Chaosy]

The right part of the second screenshot looks really unfinished and empty.

Otherwise, looks good.

I bet it will be amazing when finished. Btw 500 comments, hooray!

Still working on those bugs, but it seems we finally fixed that annoying lag.

yay, have a cookie

OT: the terrain reminds me of the Barrens.

 

[sonofjay]

Looking good strydy.

 

[kakuzu]

Great Argos , after all this years of darkness , we can see the sun now

 

[Vinz]

How'd you fix the lag if I may ask?

 

[sonofjay]

How'd you fix the lag if I may ask?

Probably cleaned the leaks.

 

[Argos]

Honestly, I don't even know, but after we remade mode-selection trigger lags were gone. I had no chance to test on the battle-net, so I'm not 100% sure yet.

Chaosy said there are no leaks, but i can send you the unprotected map for testing. I always appreciate friendly help.

 

[Vincent_Freeman]

Well, I played last released alpha and it seems strange to me that fps falls every 2-3 seconds. But that's a tech problem and i'm sure you'll fix it, so never mind.
Other problem is the options dialogue at the begging of the map. I wasr andomly chosing diffrent game types, but haven't noticed any difference. You gameplay lacks discription and small tips maybe? Maybe you could add an intro cinematic or something? Or even a small video on youtube, so players could appreciate your work?
Nevertheless, i'm following you project with great interest)

Thank you Vincent Freeman for your feedback. We are well aware of those issues and trying to fix them. I must agree with you that many new players might welcome some tips, though I thought we can wait with it for Beta. Alpha is just a very tiny bit, which will allow us to get more supporters. There will be big upgrades in future versions (as you could see our screenshots) and I hope we won't disappoint you.

Btw we fixed all modes. FPS still slowly increases, but nothing severe. Tower knockback is the last mystery.

 

[kakuzu]

So that means that Beta is coming soon ? How about to name your team STG ?

 

[Strydhaizer]

What's going on now is a trouble at the mountains
I did not remove the right mountain beside the Direfury because it will look bad if i did , it is not actually a mountain but only a small hill (Then after that hill is the desert).

I might show you WIP later showing the Desert and the Mountains (hopefully , coz there's f'kin trouble out there) .

Too lazy to upload WIP Images

---

Desert Biome , suggestions?
Yes it is empty , because it is a desert.



---

So i will leave the mountains first and focus on Spiritar's Camp
May i ask , where do these clans live? Swamp?

 

[Argos]

I don't mind that hill that much, I just need you to keep some space for AI hostile clans and monster camps. The map already seems too full for anything else to be added later. Don't take me wrong, I like how it looks right now, but gameplay is also very important.

Mountain don't have to be exactly on the mountain, it could be near the mountain. I really like the spiral thingy idea, just not going fully on top. We are going to add creatures similar to Gronns in WoW lurking in the corners around the mountain. There should be higher ground around the mountain.

Desert is fine, maybe I would add some skeletons/bones. Maybe huge ribbs of a dead monster with a control point in the middle. Also maybe you could expand it a bit more to the south-east and make it bigger. There's a big hight change in the north of the desert, but hard to say if it's good or bad.

Uff, that's hell a lot of text. So let's continue. Spiritar is in the middle of jungle-swampy area, which is called the Overgrowth. Here is a pic for better imagination: http://www.tumblr.com/photo/1280/ohyeahworldofwarcraft/1098117705/1/tumblr_l7rtobvoQb1qb8fy8

Good job my friend! I like the progress



@kakuzu No I'm afraid, Beta will take much time to be finished. Yeah sure we can give our team a name, but kinda out of ideas, suggestions? (please no Fluffy Unicorns and Tasty Hamburgers)

 

[Strydhaizer]

Great Idea!

There's a big hight change in the north of the desert, but hard to say if it's good or bad.

Well , seeing the reference image you sent me [http://www.tumblr.com/photo/1280/ohy...tobvoQb1qb8fy8] , you will also see tall mountains near or beside the desert , so i think it's fine.

So yeah , i'll drop another WIP Image on the mountains.
The defense seems a great advantage for the mountains clan.

We call ourselves "The Deadly Skeletons"

lol

 

[Argos]

Great Idea!

The Deadly Skeletons, lol.

Could you send me a map pls? Screenshots sometimes change the whole perspective.

 

[kakuzu]

STG -Suprem Team of Gorgal

 

[Strydhaizer]

Sent the map to ya.
Sadly there are only few changes, blame my laziness

 

[Heinvers]

Looks nice

 

[Chaosy]

Looks sweet.

Let's just hope the final gameplay will be worthy of the terrain ^^

 

[skelguardian]

Woah! Looks amazing!

Will definitely try out when i'm on my pc haha

 

[Vinz]

Looks awesome, Stryder.

 

[kakuzu]

How about to name your team WIB ; Warlords of the Iron Bones ?

 

[Chaosy]

You mean iron bond? right?

Either way, I don't think we need a name. Argos' slaves is fine by me.

 

[Argos]

Yeah, i would definitely go with "Slaves of Argos" as a team name

 

[kakuzu]

So you dont like WIB ?

 

[Argos]

So you dont like WIB ?

Warlords of Iron Bones?

Don't ask me, ask others what they think about it >.>

 

[Chaosy]

Meh, are you actually serious about a team name kakuzu? Personally I was just joking around.

 

[kakuzu]

@Chaosy . Yeah , why not ? What you think about it ?

 

[Vinz]

Is a team name needed? I mean, aside from the project name itself.

 

[Argos]

Is a team name needed? I mean, aside from the project name itself.

It's not, but we had a hard time giving all members of our team credits in the map description. One name would fit much easier.

Btw Mythi, have you looked on the map? We are kinda clueless about that glicth.

 

[Budiman]

Don't tell me it's dead? :c.

 

[Argos]

Don't tell me it's dead? :c.

Why would it be dead? We just don't have anything much to share and very little time for work. Real life is a tough job

 

[Shanghai]

nice terrain this was realy good!

 

[Argos]

nice terrain this was realy good!

Thanks! All credits to Stryderzero

 

[kakuzu]

So , Argos , how about the team name ?

 

[Strydhaizer]

"Argos and Friends"

 

[Chaosy]

"Argos and Friends"

We decided to write Argos and Friends instead of writing everyones names. Even though I would have written Argos and his team or something.

 

[Go'el]

Argos and the Argosers

 

[Chaosy]

Argos and the Argosers

Sounds about right.

 

[kakuzu]

How about WIB ?

 

[Argos]

How about WIB ?

Warlords of Iron Bones again? D

 

[kakuzu]

Yeah Argos . No one like it ?

 

[Argos]

I wouldn't say that it's bad kakuzu, but I doubt players will recognize us under such name. "Argos and Friends" sounds a bit gay, "Argos and Argosers" is too argosy and "Argos and Team" is weird D

How about Argos and Co. / Argos Co. = Argos and Company. Anyway it sounds too selfish

 

[kakuzu]

Maybe The Expandables ?

 

[Strydhaizer]

damn names , move on , we dont need names , just credit us one by one.

 

[Wolffman]

The Men who stare at boats..

 

[Argos]

Haha, still better love story than Twilight

 

[Heinvers]

Hello guys

kakuzu seems very pumped at giving you name
