[Campaign] Rise of Deathsong

[iamxaxas]

Why yes, I'm focusing more on the story than the gameplay itself, although I'm trying to add some features that will make the experience a little bit more "realistic"... What they are will remain secret xD

About the terrain, I'm trying as best as I can to make a pleasant terrain, but I'm not very good at it imo, so in the end I might get a terrainer to give it a final touch... Still, I'll try my best!!

 

[iamxaxas]

Alright! First chapter is ALMOST good to go! Just adding some easter eggs, Abelhawk's videos inspired me. Any suggestions?

 

[WhiteFang]

No suggestions,but good luck!

 

[Chaosy]

I say scrap that and make more actual content instead.

 

[iamxaxas]

@Chaosy Do you have anything in mind?

 

[Chaosy]

Hard to say without playing, that's why I just said content.
Content could simple be chapter 2.

 

[iamxaxas]

Ok

I'll probably upload chapter 1 sometime this week or the next, call it a beta test if you will. It's easier than having to contact every tester, people can just download it, play it and say their opinion.

 

[Sclammerz]

Finally, I'm waiting for more progress. Good luck.

 

[Forsaken]

Yeah! Can't wait to play!

 

[Gottfried]

Me too... screenshots are promising!

 

[iamxaxas]

Alright fellows, chapter 1 is live for public testing! The cinematics are a bit bugged and kinda bad, but that's something I'll work on later... For now, I want to know bugs, suggestions, evaluations, all sort of feedback you can give!

You can download it here or in the main page.

EDIT: I've spotted a bug, the message telling you that Deathsong's base base is destroyed isn't showing. I'm working to fix that. Also changed a few minor problems with the units' sight to give more of an "exploration" feeling to the map.

Some News: The campaign itself is paused, but I'm making an alternate melee map to figure out the techtrees properly and get things settled regarding that matter, as I have tons of papers entitled "Tharaenor Techtree" spreaded through my room and nothing evolves ;-; So, I thought this should be the best way to do it. I'll upload it when I'm done to see what you fellows think on the Tharaenor race's balance and stuff like that.

Btw, I would really like some feedback on the chapter that I've uploaded already both in the comments and the main thread.

Sneak Peak on the Tharaenor Forests:

Chapters set in the Tharaenor Forests will have a style similar to this. What do you guys think? Is the terraining decent? What should I change?

 

[Mechanical Man]

Terraining is decent. I can't say what should you change, because I see only this fountain surrounded by woods.

 

[Chaosy]

I would swap the lumpy grass with the other ashenvale grass which is muuuuch nicer.

I only had that part when I uploaded that pic xD I'll upload some more later

Personally I prefer the lumpy one but I'll give it a try

 

[iamxaxas]

Here are the promised screenies:

This is the previous fountain, but a bit more worked:

This is the base area, I'm not planning on developing it a lot:

Two paths from the top-center and bot-center parts:

[Sclammerz]

Ooh, nice! Are those dinosaurs? 0_0?

 

[iamxaxas]

Sort of, yeah I liked the model, so I decided to include it xD
