Song of Spring v1.1b

This bundle is marked as high quality. It exceeds standards and is highly desirable.

full


Two lost children find themselves abandoned,
seemingly forgotten amidst the chaos of wavering seasons,
as the Cold slowly approaches to cover all things...


Entry for the 17th Mini-Mapping Contest.


FOR AN OPTIMAL EXPERIENCE:
- Enable in-game music and sound.
- Turn on environmental effects and enable fog.
- Turn off v-sync, as it can affect cinematics.


Please note:
The map is locked to standard graphics, meaning that anyone running the latest patch of WC3 can play it.



PROLOGUE


gameplay2-png.366535

This map is designed for two players, and revolves around one big boss battle.

Green controls Blossom, the Child of Summer.
Orange controls Wither, the Child of Autumn.

Co-operation between players is required to beat the map. I would personally recommend using voice chat for communication, such as discord.

Below you will find a preview of all hero abilities:

- Stuck in the tutorial? Each message given by the Distant Song is saved under F9.
Communicate with the other player, and experiment with the abilities so that you may understand the instructions in each message.


- Does the task seem insurmountable? Sometimes the answer lies within the failure itself.

CHANGELOG

Version 1.1

Fixed a bug that was preventing players from starting the game correctly. Instead of showing a menu, the camera would show the hero unit and the map logo at the same time.

Version 1.1b
Fixed a bug where you could still navigate the camera during the first menu screen.

Do you happen to have any screenshots? There should be two wisps underneath the title, one for watching the prologue, and one for skipping the prologue. I'll download the map again and see if it happens to me.

EDIT: Well, this really sucks. I have no idea why it does that.

Yeah, I saw how it looked on your stream, and it's currently the same for me. We'll see if I can correct this bug and still remain in the contest, but nevertheless, it really needs to be fixed.

EDIT: The bug is fixed. I'm currently waiting for the go ahead to update the map

Hello, has the upload been fixed? Or are you still awaiting approval? I can delay my judgement on it for a time if you are still waiting.

@deepstrasz Sadly, no. I've actually been thinking about how it could be implemented without affecting the intense, fluid and precise gameplay that you get with two players. Sadly, I don't think it can be done without changing the entire bossfight.

Maybe down the line I'll create a singleplayer version of the bossfight with a heavier focus on puzzle elements, which would give you enough time to control two units

Pretty nice and challenging map for 2. The co-op is real. SPOILER: Apart from one reoccurring bug where the spider kept summoning icy spikes in P2, it was flawless.
