ToJ - Tomb of Jarahcon Remake

[real138]

Tomb of Jarahcon
The Return

For those of you who don't know what ToJ is - Tomb of Jarahcon.
I am looking to assemble a team for this project. We are starting to work on the map already.


For the team I would prefer if you have more than one skill e.g. 2d artist and Modeling. I know this is a lot to ask for but I would like to keep the team to a minimum size. We especially need modelers since there are next to none models in Sc2 for a Wc3 themed map.

The UI will be going through a total makeover in the process of the remake along with other features that will be possible in Sc2 now. The team will use user feedback to change and customize the UI to their specifications. If a feature is extremely wanted we will do our best to implement it, so speak up!

Hey Real138! I said i might be able to help with this. I could go Scripting or Terraining.

 

[real138]

sounds great tell me if you can or not sometime. For now ill add you as maybe k?

 

[CyberDuelX16]

Actually, the above post meant i could =D

 

[real138]

oh sweet Ok approved as scripter and terrain?

 

[CyberDuelX16]

Correct.

 

[CHA_Owner]

Sign me up as a triggerer and UI design so i can help you with any ideas needed

 

[CyberDuelX16]

Hey CHA! How ya doin?

 

[real138]

ok ahaa I'm starting to love this project now we just need a modeler or 2 and we good

 

[CyberDuelX16]

Indeed!

 

[real138]

Guys know anyone?

EDIT: added you Cha

 

[CyberDuelX16]

Nope. XD

 

[CBX Entertainment]

I'm in

what about story and text writer and unit/ability creator

 

[real138]

I can write story and text
unit/ability creator... ah i forgot that in Sc2 its a b**ch to make them... :/ abilities will be made via triggers so np but units hmm I'm sure one of us can do that also?

EDIT: eh for now i added the position as open. we can discuss what we want.

 

[CyberDuelX16]

Indeed, Real get on Skype

 

[real138]

Btw Guys can we all get one chat service? I know cyber and Cha both have Skype how bout you Cbx?

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Good luck, never played the map myself... maybe in sc2 eh?

 

[CyberDuelX16]

Thanks ^^

 

[CHA_Owner]

I'm doing good cyber just working a lot of hours at work and have not had as much time as i would like to work on SC2 stuff even though i have made 3 core systems for my FPS already

 

[CyberDuelX16]

Sounds good =D

 

[real138]

ok cyber could you do unit/ability design? work with data editor and such? I dare not touch that beast. Actually abilities will all be Scripted so no need to do those. But the data editor still needs a tamer Also what else would you like to do? Boss fights? name your trade

CHA since you love UI design could you whip up a template of a UI to use? Add any features you think are necessary. We will then look at it see if everything is possible and useful/needed. You and I will be working on the UI coding.

CBX your leader also so you can give out orders too Since you know how the abilities like the back of your hand from the previous project you think you could do them?

Skill Tree would be SICK!

I tame the thing...heheheeeee. I plow that thing like a Cornfield...

 

[CBX Entertainment]

I guess i could do that^^

I already got some good ideas written down at work and stuff


orders will come soon

anyway, next step is probably a forum (real you wanted to do that?) and then planning what features we need, what are good to have and things like that

E: can anyone make some cool videos? like renders, animations or just plain pictures?

 

[Dinipants]

ummm I really don't know if you need this haha, but if you wanted to (later on) you could send me some gameplay footage and I could make a trailer for you? Like using a actual movie editor (probably sony vegas), not like an in-game movie. I mean this'd obviously be later on, once you'd gotten it well underway. Anyways, just putting it out there .

 

[real138]

Ah i said i was trying to arrange a forum section on a site

hmm a forum... well we should first get started then work on the forum.

Yes of ofc there will be a skill tree all parts of the UI. Hero Selection, Skill tree, Inventory, Minimap. I'll also try and draw something up as a concept.

Ok post those good ideas or send them to me i wanna look through them.

EDIT: oo thanks for the offer we will keep it in mind but first we need to actually make the map ill add you and contact you if need be.

 

[CyberDuelX16]

Well i like the direction we're going in =D

 

[Dinipants]

EDIT: oo thanks for the offer we will keep it in mind but first we need to actually make the map ill add you and contact you if need be.

Haha no problem . Yes of course, I realise it won't be until you've actually made it but that's ok. When you get to a stage where you've made a majority of the map and can record some gameplay footage, I can use it to make a trailer which will give the fans and people waiting something to enjoy and hopefully peak everyone's interest in the map in the few days/weeks where you're making the final adjustments before release . And if you want teasers along the way I'd be glad to do them too

When you're at that stage PM or email me and we'll work it out, I'm PMing you my email address now (that'll probably be a better way to contact me, since I always check my hotmail email)

Best of luck guys!!

 

[real138]

Ok we'll see how it goes probably gonna be making teasers for each part

 

[CyberDuelX16]

Sounds awesome

 

[CBX Entertainment]

Don't tease too much

videos with ingame material are easy to make then, but i thought about something more .... cinematic
not the actual gameplay or systems

 

[real138]

ah like just glimpses of it and the rest is like words talking about it? something like early game trailers?

 

[CBX Entertainment]

more like just some slashing and slaying with some possible characters and abilitys

maybe you have seen the first trailer for world of warcraft^^ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYK_Gqyf48Y) something like that

but talking about words

sounds and music anyone? narrator (would need a totally awesome voice)
i doubt we can just use only the sc2 music and sounds

 

[real138]

hmm there is a 10mb limit you know... We could make a single player version and then a multiplayer version. I would love to add he custom music and narration but i doubt we could fit it. We will see once the game is released if they add to the limit or something.

Also guys I just started on the UI layout gonna post it once its done. And CBX get on icq

Also guys i think if we get started quick we could submit the map for the TDG mapping contest. So lets get cracking the prize money is $390

EDIT: also we need a sequal name like ToJ: The Return. Something like that. We also have to decide how far into the future this will be If we want it to be as far as Sc2 modern or just a few years.

 

[CyberDuelX16]

Big boy has Big Plans =D

 

[Dinipants]

Was gonna make a post here but I decided to PM it to you guys rather than explain it all in public in the forum

 

[CBX Entertainment]

 

[Vengeancekael]

Then why not make an actual scII cinematic? xD

 

[real138]

eh harder too do easier to edit in frames

lol you can't even see the skull XD how bout making the II in the backround and same color as the skull

[real138]

[CyberDuelX16]

Rofl. Skull Must Live.

 

[real138]

Updated first post

 

[CyberDuelX16]

Looks good.

 

[CHA_Owner]

Alright im posting here to see what you guys would like to have in this map i have already made 2 fully functional systems for my own project but im willing to implement them into this one also they are as follows;

-W.A.S.D Movement with instant turn/strafing/jumping/dashing

-Minimap much like Cloudmax's except this one has much more functionality and has descriptions for every object on it.

just let me know and if these systems are not needed then i will start developing new ones for this project alone

 

[real138]

WASD movement isn't needed we will be keeping it unlocked and mouse clicking. But the minmap we will probably need to make a custom one to show the specific stage your in.

 

[CyberDuelX16]

Sounds easy enough.

 

[real138]

cyber why not try to do some terrain a lush forest. just a small beginning area.

Also guys we need to decide what time period this map shall be. So vote now.

few years after original
100-200 years ahead.
around sc2 tech area.

 

[CHA_Owner]

Sounds good to me but check all the stuff i said and sent you on skype.

 

[CyberDuelX16]

Few Years. GET ON SKYPE ><.

 

[CHA_Owner]

WASD movement isn't needed we will be keeping it unlocked and mouse clicking. But the minmap we will probably need to make a custom one to show the specific stage your in.

Working on it now and do you want me to make it so each area has a separate minimap image or just 1 minimap image with whole map on it?
