Ardent Heroes - ORPG

[Craka_J]

It has been a week, so I feel the double post is necessary. (plus, it's my thread!)

Terrain and coding progress has been going really well. The talent system for DPS should be finished next week, along with other systems like the combat system. Millbrow is closing in on it's final completion. The story and lore of the RPG will be closely focused on probably throughout this week.

 

[SanD3R]

good news
very well
i want beta testing

 

[x3GlikE]

I can be a 2D Artist aka signatures mini map ect. ect. Just check out my profile pictures -.-

 

[Yabooer]

x3GlikE, we would appreciate if you could make a very low in size loading screen, we have had 3 before, yet none have gone completely through with it yet.

 

[x3GlikE]

Just give me more info on the project on hand and I will get it done as soon as possible.I can also make systems and find bugs in scripts..

 

[Yabooer]

I'll bring up your other talents up with our team, see if anything is needed, though outside opinions can always be helpful, as to the loading screen.

Just some scenery, calming things, such as a forest or something to that extent.

 

[Yabooer]

There are two polls up, please vote! We need YOUR opinions!!

Wow that really is good, I definitely approve of it. But the main concern is how big is the actual file size? Any way to make it smaller than it already is?

 

[Deleted member 177737]

Can't wait to see this finished, GL.

Its not that big 1.3 mb but I can make it smaller once I am finished.

Very nice work x3GlikeE, link us the even further compressed loading screen if you can do that.

Also, to update everyone, expect some pretty big updates soon, I have yet to make a new update until this next thing is done, we are so close to beta hang in there guys, and thanks for following!

 

[Oohforf]

Ahh, everything looks great. ^^ Can't wait to sink my teeth into this

i wait 8month ^^

 

[Craka_J]

Do not be discouraged by the lack of active posts. We're actually getting a lot done - especially the coding portion - so our next update is guaranteed to report very good news; and quite a bit of it as we will be posting updates in bundles instead of small portions.

 

[Yabooer]

Sorry for the very very long absence but trust me it was well worth it, we have covered so much ground it is ridiculous.

Our coders have been working very hard and we are amazed at how much work they have gotten done, and show some gratitude to all their hard work!

First off we have the combat system, which is...

Stay active on our forums guys, as progress is going to just flow soon, we would also appreciate some input on ideas, etc... That are already put in as a thread, and of course if you haven't signed up, sign up at our website at ardentheroes.freeforums.org

Also, we will be needing 3-4 more beta testers as we have lost our old ones due to inactivity, more may open if we do not receive word from them.

 

[Yabooer]

Show us some loving boys and girls, we could really use the fans at this point =)

Also, we have just added a new thing that will make our dungeons a bit more unique. More on this will be shown in a week as we would like to compile a little mini update of our work.

 

[CloudMax]

Okay, okay. I LOVE YOU
This project is awesome as hell, and I check this thread more than once a day.

As far as I know this is the only existing project at the moment that would make me go back and try warcraft 3 once again. I quit playing it entierly about a year ago.

 

[indomitable1319]

Me too! I'm awaiting this, and I'm one of the first that supported it from the start.

 

[Craka_J]

I'm not sure if Yabooer included it in the latest update (because I didn't really read it that much), but I've been revamping Khar'got Palace, which is the first instanced dungeon players will experience early-on in the RPG around level 9 or 10.

On top of that, I'm also finalizing the playability of Millbrow. The zone is pretty small, but the reason it's taking me so long is because my time is very limited and I've been redoing details and pathing in that area over and over. So in the BETA, if it looks plain in or whatever, it's probably because it isn't COMPLETED yet but I would still like the tips about it anyway so that I can improve it.

PS: Thanks for teh luvz.

 

[indomitable1319]

Looking forward to the beta.

 

[x3GlikE]

Got an idea make an admin chat system , like you can mute ppl ect and save load dsnt show up.(When typing it.)
Also I can help with anything at this point with the map.
P.S I made a watermark so anything you want me to add with it just tell me".

 

[Craka_J]

I'm pretty sure there already is a Battle.Net command to mute a player, but only so that YOU don't see what they type. As for this watermark you speak of, mind showing us it?

 

[Yabooer]

Great news from all of us here, we had our first meeting where all 6 of us met up at a specified time and talked/worked for 3 hours, which is a first seeing how we have conflicting schedules.

From the designing side, Wolfe and myself have worked on fixing up the boss fights for the release of the closed beta which might I add is very very near...

[indomitable1319]

Okay, I failed.
I tried to log in but I exceeded the maximum number of attempts. It was then when I remembered that I had a different password in the forum. Oh well. I'll just wait.

Anyway, I want to apply for the beta, but the problem is I can't play online or on multiplayer. But if I play on single-player, I should be able to see more bugs and errors since I'll take my time and inspect almost every aspect of the game.

 

[Palooo3]

Looking as high qualitty project ... last time i had a great feeling of playing was on Gaias ORPG ... hope this will bring me a same or better feeling too man looking forward to this

 

[Craka_J]

Updated the first post of the thread to change the filesize of the map from 7MB to 5.6MB due to the recent optimizations being made by Purgeandfire.

 

[Yabooer]

Glad we could capture that for you palooo3, be sure to follow, we are expecting bursts of progress now that all the coders are set in place doing their work.

 

[Yabooer]

Sorry for the absence work has consumed me for the last couple of weeks, but do not worry we have an update in the works and we are confident you guys will enjoy this one!

Continue following we need all the followers and popularity we can get, we surely won't disappoint!
