Apocalypse Survival RPG

Apocalypse Survival RPG
Paused! Because of the lack of interrest and the lack of triggering experience
I will first try to learn triggers a bit more! Sorry..
Meanwhile entertain yourself with this:

Hello! This map is the first project that I decided to share with everyone on hives workshop. I'm also a not very skilled terrainer, modelmaker or skinner. this is why all the models and skins I imported are not mine! But here's the idea of the map:

Story & a bit of the gameplay: (so far)
The game starts in a town somewhere in this world, when suddenly a reign of crystal like comets come falling from the sky. As a civilian of this town you must try to survive this reign of terror. After a while the crystals stop falling from the sky and everything turns very quiet. Now you must find other survivors and building material for a camp.

While you walk through the ruins you will encounter lots of creatures. From mutated and brain dead humans (The Mindless) 'till hulking half rat half bear creatures. You will also find some items you can use. Like baseball bats and knifes and maybe even a gun. You must also pick up wood and thins like tinder, to start a fire somewhere and set up your tent.

After you have constructed a small base you can start looking for survivors (players or AI) or try to make weapons and become stronger.

Every few minutes (10 or 15) all creatures will mutate further becoming stronger and sometimes smarter. This forces you to keep looking for better weapons and also to become stronger.

The rest of the story depends on all the players their actions. Example: if you all decide to kill all Afflicted (mutated humans, but they are still very conscious and actually still human only a bit ugly) eventually they will band together and start killing YOU! Yes you! They will function as a normal RTS race (like the races from warcraft).

Also you must discover the secrets of the crystals. Through them you can achieve great powers. Or become an Afflicted or just a horribly mutated and mindless rampaging creature.

Progress:
This is what I have in mind and I'm trying to get it like this. In my opinion the progress of the map goes very well. The terrain is almost finished and I have a lot of the items ready. Soon I will start triggering and creating foes and skills.

The goal:
The goal is pretty simple. SURVIVE, because the game gets tougher every minute. You can also try to eradicate all survivors or "cleanse" the town from all mutants (which will probably be impossible, but you can try!)

And some pictures:

LOOK!

About the Crystals:
There will be 6 different types of crystals.

The Crystals:

Red
Blue
Green
Brown
White
Black

and there will be a lot of different combinations. For example: one red and one blue will turn you into some sort of fire throwing man with some minor psychic skills. But the other way around (first blue than red) will make you some sort of Arcane Mage with the ability to set himself afire.

Also you can infuse some items with the crystals. Like a red crystal and a black crystal with a baseball bat will make a blazing baseball bat of doom

I don't know if these examples will be like this in the game, but it's my intention. Only I will work on the crystals later. Right now I'm creating some basic triggers and the terrain.

The terrain goes really really fast, mainly because I'm recreating my home town so I know where to put everything.

NOTE:
Also, I would like to know what EVERYBODY thinks of it . And when it's ready there will be an open beta.

Do you have much mapping experience? Because RPG's are very large projects, most RPG's never gets finiished because of lack of time, intrest what ever.

Now onto the map, it has really good potential and you will learn a lot if you decide to get serious with this. What will it feature? And will it be hero/builder style?

I have made a few maps but I have never put them on hives. About the RPG, it's not going to be like a real RPG, it will feature some role playing components. Like choosing a hero and creating you're own story. Now I do not know if you can still call it a RPG but I would like to think of it as a RPG

I do not know about the lack of time. Everything goes really well, soon I'll even try to post a video.

Also I do not know what you exactly mean with hero/builder style. But I think I can explain: It is just like Island Troll Tribes. You pick up items in some order and create an item (fire, spear etc.) only everyone starts as an survivor. Eventually you will be able to experiment with the crystals and gain powers. You can like infuse a red crystal in you're body and this will transform you into a flame spewing human. There will be a lot of combinations possible and all unknown so you must discover it for yourself.

Can I combine maybe a red crystal with a blue crystal to make me a purple human?

And here is a picture of a random crystal:

I've put the information about the crystal in the first post and I think I'll just upload a beta map in here so everybody can play it if they want.

edit: and I've added some new pictures!!!
