[1.0.4] Development is up and running!

[bowser499]

Some short notes about the development I wanna show to the public.

TGM Team is sad about the death of Apheraz Lucent. She was a fighter. A strong fighter. And she will participate in the battle between the Oasis and the Desert.
Meet Lady Aphera: The Chronomancer - the hero that can manage the time and is very knowledgeable in this field of science! She can meke full time reverse, slow it down, speed it up or simply stop it/convert it to the gold. More details? Later!

IyD, TGM Team's game designer, added a lot of new items and removed some old ones making the overall gaming process more interesting. Some more spoilers:

• No more Strength, Agility and Intelligence! Meet the Magic Power, Attack Speed and Magic Resistance. These are now counted as 'stats' in game. I will get in details later.
• New item effects, for example, Gold per Second, Armor per Damage etc.
• Many hero skills will be reworked in different ways to achieve balance.

SSrunX, TGM Team's terrainer, is working on some terrain rework for the needs of the balancing, especially, balanced forest creeps placement.
Below you can find some screenshots of Oasis zone. It's still work in progress but requires your critique and suggestions aswell.

I like the terrain. Very good job!

But just one little thing.
The pathing between the hill and the water is a bit angled.
I think it could look better if it's a bit smoother.

example

 

[Nestharus]

Nice terrain, interesting new stats, good new hero concept, but this...

Armor per Damage

So if they have uber damage, they also have uber armor?... increasing attack increases defense? That just seems a bit op ; ).

This update sounds very promising. As always, I would be happy to do intensive testing, although I can only perform solo testing. Keep up the good work!

Smells like League of legends addiction. Anyway - LOL on WC3 is better than DOTA 1 in other case on WC3.

No doubt

According to SSrunX's words, Oasis seems pretty finished.
The screenshots are below.

Nice screenshots man
The environment is brilliant!

 

[Velgen]

Looks good, although it may be a little flat in some places but that may just be the camera angle. That's just me nitpicking though.

 

[David]

Terrain looks OK, you should get some better custom rock models ^^ Over all nice

 

[Tank-Commander]

I agree with Velgen about it looking a bit flat in places, but otherwise it looks great, quite like the ambience you've given it.

 

[Deolrin]

The terrain looks pretty nice. I think you could stick a few brown mushrooms here and there, though. Maybe some flowers too. ^^

 

[Rui]

Looks kewl, but somehow the ground tiles seem out of place. Maybe a little more variation? Good job nevertheless.

 

[SeriousEnemy]

The updated terrain looks very well!
Good job on it!
I wouldn't continue working on it too much now, the risk of making it bad is very high now!

nitpicker !!!

But since nothing is perfect I still want you to give advises on some very very small details


-Sometimes gras and plants pop out of rocks / rock tilesets
-On the first picture the sand got the same shape on each level of the stair.
A little bit variation would be good.
-The rock tileset is not seamless, you could try to change the model on it to improve that.

 

[Ralle]

According to SSrunX's words, Oasis seems pretty finished.
The screenshots are below.

Looks quite smooth

 

[Skycraft]

I can't really say many things that other people have already said.. ground is too flat, and I don't like how the trees are slammed into the ground. A bit more water would be good too - try use some more doodads like maybe put a ship in one of the pools of water or something. Experiment with it.

Other than that it looks pretty alright.
