Do you want to work on a map together?

Well, I've got mine to finish and am pretty slow with it...
BlackEnvyX
BlackEnvyX
Which is your map?
deepstrasz
deepstrasz
Which of which?
I am trying to make a campaign. I have yet to finish the first chapter which is near completion.
BlackEnvyX
BlackEnvyX
Oh nice! What kind of campaign is it? I've been working on my Survive the Night map and updating it constantly + working on a few other maps including one based off of one of my albums.

A continuation of The Frozen Throne unrelated to WoW.

By the way, why the rep? I mean, there was no reason.
BlackEnvyX
BlackEnvyX
I mean you took the time to reply to the thread and provide some needed clarification, and I value your input. I figured that was worth the rep!

Ah, forgot to fully answer the question. It's mostly melee oriented but I'm implementing puzzles and varied gameplay. So the melee is just there not to feel like playing an entirely different game than Warcraft III.
BlackEnvyX
BlackEnvyX
That's pretty cool! Sounds like a lot of fun actually, I'm totally down to try it or help test it.
deepstrasz
deepstrasz
Heh, yeah, I want to implement a way not to have to start the campaign from scratch each time I add a chapter. I'll be making a dummy map that loads the game cache which will make the unplayed chapters visible.
BlackEnvyX
BlackEnvyX
Yeah I'd imagine that might be useful lol. How many chapters do you plan on having?
deepstrasz
deepstrasz
Around 8. Freaking crazy considering the details I want to implement. Of course, I'm gonna cut on some stuff like impressive terrain and original music. There's simply too much to do besides that anyway, story, triggering, importing, map layout, whatnot.

You can use some of my music for the map if you want. I've got over 200 songs, what kinda music were you thinking?
deepstrasz
deepstrasz
Well, since it's Warcraft, I'll just use those from Warcraft III+WoW.
At first, I wanted to make specific music but it'll take forever.
BlackEnvyX
BlackEnvyX
I feel, I'm making a single player map that's gonna use some of my music. It's a short map but it'll be a ton of fun, story based.
deepstrasz
deepstrasz
What genre? Already done music or new?
BlackEnvyX
BlackEnvyX
It's based off of that album I just released. It's gonna be using all the music from the Oblivion of Reality album.
deepstrasz
deepstrasz
Oh. And the map's gameplay style?
BlackEnvyX
BlackEnvyX
Story / Psychological Horror

You play as the "lost girl" from the album, and essentially have to survive waves of these creatures and do some quests. It's not too long of a map, only about an hour or so. It's gonna take me a while to make just myself though, I'm not the best at triggering.

Oh, another survival map :D? Well, you don't have to hurry.
