Blades 'n Gore II v0.99h

[Ken-E]

Played it on Garena and its awesome, fast paced sword battle indeed! I think it deserves a DC but what the hell. Love this map!

 

[UndeadImmortal]

This map is cool, we play it with Ken-E. I'll create my full review if I have time

 

[Meepo-]

This game is fun and easy to play, I'm play it once in single player for about 2 minutes and I already understand it.

5/5

[Kitabatake]

Update!

Version 0.64c

[TD]

• Custom font imported
  • You'll be reading those tooltips again just because the text is so sexy!
• "-name" command implemented
  • type "-name newname" to set your name to newname
• Lunge and Tumble are now less affected by the heaviest armor
  • Range penalties reduced
  • Self damage from tumble is no reduced if armor mobility is low
• Hit markers are now located slightly lower for improved accuracy

[/TD]

---

nice i like it, nice idea to decrease the tumble with more armor, but if i take most defensive armor, the tumble is useless, dont decrease it like that, thats just a tip

Been planning to revise BnG1 for a long time; but never seems to get it to work; anyway, awesome work Kita! 5/5.

But; there's always room to improvements:

- You should lower the damage AOE indicator circle to about... 20 or 25; because right now it is right above the "hero" making it a bit off compared to the actual AOE (which is on the ground).
- Tumble on heavy armor feels weird. Although armor should lower speed and it's working as intended, since we spent energy to tumble and lunge it should be less affected than normal walking, say... only 50%.

That's it for now. I'll be hosting tonight and get some more feedback; didn't try 12p FFA DM yet.

Thanks for the suggestions and feedback!
The problems have now been addressed in the newest version.

This map is cool, we play it with Ken-E. I'll create my full review if I have time

I'll be looking forward to the review then!

 

[Zenerik]

Glad I can be of help!

Looking forward to CTF mode and equipment purchasing system.

Oh btw; the Kick doesn't have level-up text as of 63h (the "Lower energy cost" or "Increase damage" text); I didn't try new version yet but if it still doesn't you should add it next patch.

 

[Kitabatake]

Big Update!

Version 0.65g

[TD]

• New Game Mode - Battle Zone
  • New massive terrain area
  • Fixed spawn locations for both teams
  • Players can buy new equipment at the circles north from their spawn
  • There are 5 control point locations
    • Team that controls more locations gains points over time
    • Kills also give points
    • The team that reaches score limit first wins
  • You can purchase new weapons and armor
• One new armor added
• Recommended game mode is now automatically set at game start
  • 2 players - Duel Arena
  • 3-5 players - Deathmatch
  • 6-12 players - Battle Zone
  • The host can still of course change the game mode.

[/TD]

The terrain will be improved in future versions.
If you notice any bugs in the new game mode (or the previous ones), let me know!

[Cicija16]

Luv dis map looks fun is fun 5/5... Anyhow i think u should add some ranged skills, like knife trowing or shuriken trowing... Depends which style u made this map like japanese,chinese etc since u got katanas and japanese armors

 

[Tanasren]

I prefered the models from vers 0.59

the combat system was great
but it becomes boring when u get used to (in normal deathmatch mode)

 

[Kitabatake]

Another Big Update!

Version 0.66i

[TD]

• Battle Zone fixes
  • Point income from control points significantly slowed down
  • Control points now regenerate faster
  • Capturing a control point now gives gold that is divided amongst the capturing team
  • Merchants moved closer to spawn
  • Merchants actually visible in terrain now
• New weapons and armor added to the game
  • Greatsword, Claymore, Steel Plate Armor
• Players will now have a default weapon that functions similar to default armor.
  You always have it, and equipping another weapon will cause it to "disappear".
  Unequipping a weapon will automatically equip you with the default weapon.
• Abuse fix: You can no longer queue tumble ability to launch yourself at light speed across the map
• Knockback system max index doubled from 50 to 100. Knockback should no longer randomly "not happen".
• "You have slain X" - texts now appear correctly in deathmatch / team deathmatch modes
• Being the last player / team alive (enemies have left the game) will now end the game correctly.

[/TD]

Throwing/ranged weapons are in consideration and may appear in later versions

Go play the Battle Zone mode. There's more room for actual teamplay, character development and buying new weapons & armor.
However, that game mode is best played with 6-12 players.

 

[CafeSaiGon]

Good map...my rate 5/5.....
Why this map update fast ???

 

[xorkatoss]

Good map...my rate 5/5.....
Why this map update fast ???

bcz the creator has free time to make changes and add stuff often
also you said that like it was a bad thing...in fact updating your maps often is good;p

 

[Maverik Léon]

Good map...my rate 5/5.....
Why this map update fast ???

Because Kitabatake supports his project like it has to be.. and he gains much positive feedback - this is inspiring.

 

[Kitabatake]

Update!

Version 0.67g

[TD]

• Fixed a bug that caused all players to end up in the same team
• Battle Zone fixes
  • Control Points are now captured by channeling instead of attacking
    (right click a hostile/neutral point to start capturing it)
    (you can heal a friendly point by right clicking it)
  • The amount of health a freshly captured point has depends on how many points the team already controls
    • More points already controlled => weaker new points
  • Player kill messages are now team coloured
• Game start is slightly smoother now
  • Battle Zone start no longer spams a wall of text and pings
• Weapons and armor are now automatically equipped after purchase

[/TD]

Things are getting smoother!

I am thinking of changing the game font to something better but I can't seem to find a good one. I'm open for suggestions!

---

Good map...my rate 5/5.....

Because I have interest in developing the map and I also have good beta testers.

If you want to join the tester group, contact me on Garena or directly join the garena group 31617.
This invitation applies to everyone interested.

[Kitabatake]

Hmh I thought I had fixed that already.

Update!

Version 0.69b

[TD]

• More fixes to Battle Zone mode
  • Control points now have a new model
  • Capture range is shorter now (you must be closer to capture)
  • Capturing a point now gives the correct gold bonuses
• Units will no longer respawn in a wrong game area

[/TD]

EDIT: After some testing it appears that the respawn regions are still bugged in team deathmatch.
I'll have them fixed for the next update.

 

[k13k]

i think the normal attack should be disable.

cus sometimes I use E or W to attack someone, and I end up death by the auto-normal attack.

u can add one skill for normal attack instead of right-mouse clicking.

 

[k13k]

and the bug of respawning in wrong place still alive

but anyway, this is a awosome map!!!

 

[Kitabatake]

Update!

Version 0.70d

[TD]

• Player names in victory announcements are now player coloured
• You will now slowly regenerate mana also while capturing a point
• Units will no longer actually respawn in wrong game areas
• Minimap improved

[/TD]

The respawn now works correctly in all game modes.

 

[k13k]

some projection weapon can be added in the game, ex crossbow bows, with longer casting time and more mp cost, for catching the runner.

 

[Kitabatake]

Big Update!

Version 0.71f

[TD]

• The entire knockback system has been fully remade
  • The new system is 100% reliable; knockback effects will no longer "occasionally not happen"
  • The new system is far more optimized; Even if you are playing the map on an ancient toaster it should not lag.
• All swords now have correct ranges (previously all swords incorrectly had the default 100 range)
• Claymore has a new passive ability
• Bastard Sword model shortened to match it's range
• Hero model fixed
  • Holds sword more upright; longer blades no longer clip into terrain
  • Weapon ribbon effect is now grayish and less flashy

• Autoattack is slower now
• Score limit dialog for battle zone mode is now titled score limit instead of kill limit.
• Items now have descriptions in the merchant menu.
• Fixed minor glitches in host game settings dialog that could happen if host switched options in certain ways.

[/TD]

You may have noticed in earlier versions that if you played full house, sometimes lunge or tumble might not have worked (no knockback).
Well that shouldn't happen again since the whole system has been redone in a much better way.

Projectile weapons are planned.
My plan is to add throwing weapons to the map in the near future.
However, they will serve a support role. Melee weapons will remain as the main tool for killing, but throwing weapons will be used to distract and disrupt the enemy.

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Maybe ranged weapons can give boosts or abilities.
Say when thrown, they activate spells once they hit the ground.
Or maybe it heals nearby people.

 

[sonofjay]

I really love this game since the Blade and Gore I, and now it have alot of changes happening. I have a feeling that someday this will be more popular that Icefrog's Dota

Anyway 5/5 for alot of changes that was happening.

 

[k13k]

[Aeroblyctos]

Hey I played the map and you should check the landing point of normal attacks. Also I feel like the normal attack should deal more damage. I like to use it when I'm going to kill a near dead target.

Also I feel like the normal attack should deal more damage. I like to use it when I'm going to kill a near dead target.

[alelil]

i think it would be great, if u can add some other weapon type, ex. bow like the one used by archer in boss mode, or sword shield, dagger, etc
other type need another set of skill

 

[clockwork2]

AI attacks players aswell as enemies, and only seems to work for boss mode..

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Also, make the boss arena bigger.
I need more space to move around.

 

[clockwork2]

also in battlegrounds mode shops don't work, and Ai doesn't start for battlegrounds or dueling arena or the like...

 

[Kitabatake]

i think it would be great, if u can add some other weapon type, ex. bow like the one used by archer in boss mode, or sword shield, dagger, etc

Yeah I have been thinking of that.
I'm starting to run low on animation names on the player character model but maybe I can squeeze in one or two sets of attack types...

AI attacks players aswell as enemies

Huh? What do you mean? I have never seen that happen.

and only seems to work for boss mode..

Just like it reads in the map description.
AI is currently implemented only for Boss Mode. After I have improved it a bit I might add it for other modes as well.

also in battlegrounds mode shops don't work,

Huh? Shops work fine in Battle Zone gamemode.
If you are referring to Deathmatch or Duel Arena then yes, shops are disabled since the modes are too fast paced for shopping.

and Ai doesn't start for battlegrounds or dueling arena or the like...

Just like said in the map description.

Also, make the boss arena bigger.
I need more space to move around.

Yes, I'm planning to add more boss arena terrains in later updates​

Thanks for the feedback!

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Well, I wasnt planning more, but sure.
Bigger stadium couldve been fine.

Even though, I really enjoy playing this with my friends.
A great boredum buster.

Also, any plans on projectiled weapons?
How about also adding magoc or spells?

 

[Khanh]

AI attacks players aswell as enemies

I think he means computer slots...
There is a bug in boss mode. When I put in computer slots (instead of "Open"), after the first round in boss mode (defeated), those "Computers" appeared and attacked one another...
