We are working hard on getting a very early beta map ready, but I can't say when that'll happen.

All terrain is done and 3 spells has been made. Also most of the core mechanics are done, so we only need to make the levels, make more spells and balance it all, which is the shitty part that none of us like

Totally agreed,same problem in my map too Ok then,just let us know when you release the beta version,looks interesting map!

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Will do, if we pull ourselves together we should be able to give you a taste of what the game will be like relatively soon. Perhaps a 5 levels demo or something of the sort.

However we still need good spell ideas, so everybody start up your brains!

 

[reason 3]

I want to ask one last thing,cause i'm a bit confused right now...This map is gonna be a mini-game?(when i say mini-game i also mean low map size file)
Or gonna make it normal?Cause if you actually gonna make all the stuff mentioned here,you need much space

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

We will do all that we can to keep the map under 1mb, which I think is an appropriate size. With all the imports that we currently have (which is about as many as we need besides from a few more spell-effects) the map is about 700kb.

The maps concept is still subject to change, but as it is currently I guess you could call it a mini-game, though the game length can be anything from a few minutes to half an hour if you beat the game.

However I got the idea from Fulla to change the map around a bit to make it more competitive, making it 8 players instead and having 2 teams battling versus each other on each their own space, sort of like Hero Line Wars or more so like Enfos, so that when one team clears a wave the next wave automatically spawns for both teams so that you can try and destroy your opponent by clearing out the waves faster. So we might change it into that, or we might not. We still don't know. Do come with input on the matter though, what would you like to see?

 

[reason 3]

Personally talking...i'd like it as a mini game.We have a tone of competitive games!When you have little time to play,you want to play a small/funny map to keep you entertainment for about 15 min?Small size helps to fill up the lobby fast cause of faster downloads.You can start it as a mini game,and if develops good and people want more competiton,then change it?

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

That was what I was thinking. But then again the game could easily be made to support both types of game play. Like you could just fill up only the first team if you wish to have it non-competitive.

 

[reason 3]

I said"Personally talking" so this was about me ,but you are right.You can make it possible for the host to pick some modes in the begining which would affect gametime/game difficulty and stuff.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Exactly. Several game modes or sorta games within the game could easily be made

If you have any ideas for these then I would also love to hear them. The more ideas, feedback and such the better

 

[reason 3]

Hmm..I'd like to see a version of it before suggesting something,but the main modes should be something like:Easy/Medium/Hard creeps,in which mode spawned creatures should have armor/regen/attack damage and number of spawns according to the mode e.x. Easy mode 10 creeps,Medium mode 20 creeps...,also another mode should be for selecting something for the number of waves of creeps spawned like 30/50/80 waves?(this would help in making the game last exactly as much as you like)And a last one could be according to players preferences...make spells for example deal 50%/100%/200% damage?
These are just random ideas,seeing a map would help me making better suggestions

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Crucification: (add whatever you want for the ability, I just think the name implies something awesome).

 

[Jirinal]

Dont forget to set the spawns to the amounts of people playing...
Else you aint be able to play it alone.

A good wave would be P.hD Zombies, which can cat spells and got this funny quadratic hat on their head XD
Also Stalker zombies that are invisible.
Oh ya and Priest Zombies, that are immune to Holyspells or something.
Female zombies would also be awesome, maybe some kind of cheerleader XD
Oh and ofcourse black zombies^^
Maybe Zombie Dogs or something
You get the idea

Maybe make a mode without damaging abilitys. If you can keep the zombies away with pushing, stunning, slowing. They will die after uh i dont know lets say 2-3minutes?

Super speedy speed round, all zombies moves twice as fast.
Maybe we could include a hopping bonus, oh wait ive been bamoozled...
Back to topic~

Ya i guess thats it for now need to recharge my batterys

 

[Linaze]

Some of these zombie ideas are quite interesting, I'm rather confident that there's at least one of 'em that'll make it to the game, no promises though.
And yeah, Crucifiction does sound awesome.

 

[Callahan]

I got a spell idea too:

Levitation : Jesus levitate making him unreachable by zombies attack for few sec.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Giant. Zombie. Crabs.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Callahan: A nice spin on the good ol' invulnerability spell. If done right this could look very cool. Thanks for the idea!

WILLTHEALMIGHTY: Make me a zombie crap that doesn't take up very many kb's and you've got it

 

[Velmarshal]

This... *drool* is... *drool* *chokes* *drool* awsome...
Keep up the good work.

Offensive Spells:

Smite:

Blasts a single unit with a divine energies dealing heavy damage. If the blast causes an instant death the target explodes damaging surrounding enemy units.

Flame Burst:

Ignites the ground at target point, continuously igniting all enemy units who walk over the flames lasting a further few seconds upon exiting. Deals damage per second which increases overtime.

Electrify:

Enchants a unit with electrical properties, causing sparks to continuously be unleashed upon surrounidng enemy units dealing medium damage.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Hehe, we actually already have a spell called Smite, which does the exact same thing minus the exploding part

All in all 3 excellent spell ideas, I especially like Electrify.

 

[.Ragnaros]

Looks funny

 

[Linaze]

We got a team update, Fulla has joined the development team of ZvJ!

 

[Fulla]

Are we thinking of having 2 teams then or at least the possibility ?

 

[Mulgrim]

hmmm madness combat

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

I think we should go for the 2 teams idea, it would add more replay value + it wouldn't be much extra work for us.
