Ascendency

[Ratherion]

Ok ok. So...

@Deathell- Thank you for being of top of, much appreciated.
@THE_END- I would really like a quality job on the chick in silver. She is one the main characters in the Lore, and will have a dominant role in the Cinamatic Movie, I really don't mind for the rest of the people, I will leave the creep decisions to kixer.
@Kixer- THANK YOU! I really did not think we could keep it under 2mb, I am happy that you decided to raise the size cap, I will do my absolute best to keep it under 3mb, promise.
@hit- I have not had a chance to open up the terrain yet, but I am sure you did everything that Kixer asked with perfect efficency without compromising the maze.

@Team TNG- I am really sorry about not being able to to much work with the Heroes, I just got out of the finals crunch time at school, and am spending this whole afternoon compiling and completing the Heroes that I/Kixer/Scyth have made, expect the main post to change by tommorrow.

That about covers it I think!

 

[Mini-Me]

Okay please stop the chatting. This is a forum. Post only relevant info about the map. Use the hive chat room for chatting. Thank you.

 

[Ratherion]

You beat me too it hit,
and btw it Acendency.

Uh, actualy, I looked it up in the dictionary, and had spelled it wrong at 1st, so I went back to fix it. Sorry.

Anyway:
Actualy I visited the link, thanks hit for upening that new forums for us. I think later I will make an entire website for the game.

Hey guys... I kinda have a question... when you say "Damage: Low" for 1 unit, and for another unit it also says "Damage: Low", than should they have similiar damage even though they are diffarent units??

I will adress that HERE: http://asendancy.forumonline.biz/index.htm

as to not anger Mini-me

 

[Deathell]

Uh... wtf? It says that my e-mail adress is already registered when I try to register, lol.

 

[Steel_Cold]

I may want to be the testing leader, Ill ask my freinds later today and see if they want to test it.

 

[Teh_Ephy]

hmm, tester requirements/registration/whatever should be posted on the front page. anyways, PM Scyth-Master about why you want to test, what you're good at, and he'll get back to you.

 

[Kixer]

I think anyone who wants to join in testing should register on the private forum, then we can disscuss it there.
Rath i havnt cheaked but could you put a link to the forum in the 1st post.
hit could you create a testers section in the forum?
Please lets keep all non-announcement orientated posts in the private forum.
Announcement
I have recently completed the first hero ( Palen, the Blood Savior ) and will be posting him here and in the private forum soon.

 

[hit]

The non-registrer can see
Registrer can post/edit
Menber of project can moderate
http://asendancy.forumonline.biz/index.htm
(Rath can add this url in the first post and very good job Kixer !)

 

[DoOs_101]

Btw how many heroes are you guys going to make? Its the only thing that bothers me, heroes... takes a long time to make one -_-

 

[Ratherion]

Well i'm doing the main hero development and right now I am looking at 35 on the charts, and those are the ones that will be released in the first version. but all in all we will probaly end up with 50 in later versions/patches

 

[Ratherion]

Yay! I think everyone is comming down off of the end of school, and the project has been taking a bit of a break. So just tell me when you are ready to get into full speed and I can start handing out assignments.

As it stands: [jobwise]
Kixer- Main triggerer for Hero Abillities.
Hit- Revisions of terrain due to creep AI perfections.
Death- Creation of Creeps and Passive Creeps {player controlled, so maybe [PCC]}
End- create new skin for Ecclesia and skin creeps
Scyth- hold on standby and keep the testing team informed.
Me- Basicly make sure everything keeps going untill I can secure a copy of Wc3, and give Kixer hero data if he needs it.

 

[Ratherion]

I was browsing this cleaned thread and realized just how much work we have done alread. Brilliant job guys.

Checkpoint A: Heroes. I have 25 heroes ready to be built. But they require custom moves. When kixer is done with his 3 I will start feeding him info to help me complete the others. I think we can continue in this fashion of me distributing Hero info to any of our JASS scripters (there are... 3 of you?) to get the Heroes done in an efficient time. Anyone else not triggering Hero moves can retrieve the Item Table from me [Have you guys reveiwed that yet?] and work on item combo/creation. And during that THE_END will need info for the skins.

Checkpoint B: Testing. Once the majority of the heroes are complete, the items and creeps should also be done. Leading us into the testing phase, I want people to get as creative as possible in this, we have some very specialized moves mapped out that allow for some incredible combos and very nice results (Ex. Lethal Kinetics + Time Skip, Dawn + Reconfigure)

 

[hit]

I don't understand what i must done on the terrain, I m really sorry :s

 

[Kixer]

Hit you dont really need to do anything yet, at the moment the both of us are waiting on Death to finish the spawn buildings. But once hes done i need you to make room for them on the left hand base.
Triggering Update
Ok I am about to start writting exams, which means i probably won't get much done in the next week or so, and immediatly after I finish exams I go on holiday ( Im still at home but i cant go to school to download/uploda files. )
During the holidays i will have plenty of time to work on Heros/systems but i need to have all the files ( hero ideas, terrain, creep maps ) by Thursday at the latest. So Death, could you please finish the buildings and give them hit ASAP.
On the subject of what i will be doing with regards to Triggering during my exams, in what time I have I will probably work on spells for my Spell Factory. The factory is a side project of mine to hone my skills so that I can create advanced spells for Ascendancy.
Thats about it from me atm, but I've been doing some research on item systems and spell books in preparation for our item combination system.

 

[Ratherion]

There are a huge pile of hero plans on my comp. Did you want all of them or a few of the more fleshed out ones so you know exactly what I am looking for in the hero abilities?

I also have completed the item table and will Email that to you along with the hero data.

Will PM Death about Creep Spawns

[post 400 ftw!]

 

[Teh_Ephy]

Hmm. I have an idea that seems novel enough to merit posting in this thread.

Perishable equipment. They would give stronger bonuses than permanent equipment of similar cost, but the bonus would be temporary (something like 120 seconds tops).

Possible ideas for them:

• Maybe give the higher tier perishable equipment nice passive effects, but lower-than-average amounts (IE: if the average perishable equipment has 10 charges, give these like 4) to give players the option of using for a nice bonus or keeping for a nice ability.
• Have ways to upgrade them to become non-perishable, but give the same bonuses. Obviously, the bonuses should be reduced for ones that give either nice attack/armour/whatever bonuses or a nice passive ability.
• Make creeps only drop perishable equipment (if equipment at all), making permanent items very nice, but somewhat of a hassle.
• Name one after each of the team members, have them cost 0 gold and do absolutely nothing . Give them cool effects and high charges. (What? I think it's a good idea.)

Please let me know what you guys think.

On a side note, discussion seems to have dwindled down quite a bit, so I'll post this on the Ascendency forums as well.

 

[Ratherion]

Disscussion has dwindled due to it being kept to just map updates, the real development is going on in the Ascendancy Forums.

The Item Decay system is being integrated everyone, just to let you know.

 

[PEONMASTER]

Hey guys, I'd be interested in joining the team if you have stuff to do. I can terrain and trigger/brainstorm spells fairly good, been doing it since TFT came out. Not to much into making whole units or modeling, but the rest I can do for sure.

 

[Ratherion]

I think the team is pretty much full atm. Try asking Scyth for tester positions.

 

[Ratherion]

1st post update. Just some development ratios and added Palin to tester list.

 

[Palin_Twinblade]

what is the 90% done "Palin" lol someone stealing my name =P

 

[Ratherion]

Hm? Kixer... did I just.... accidentaly missname your spellbreaker?

Yea it's:
Announcement
I have recently completed the first hero ( Palen, the Blood Savior ) and will be posting him here and in the private forum soon.

 

[Deathell]

Hey guys, I'm taking a break from World Editing for a bit, maybe a month or so. Is that okay? I'm definatly not quitting the team, just got a lot of stuff on my hands lately.

 

[Ratherion]

Hmm... Tell you what, do one more revision on the creeps to Kixer's specifications and it'll be fine, then they will be good enough for hero testing and be ready for more revisions when you get back.

OK KIXER! Sorry about the wait I was away from my house for a while, and did'nt have my Hero Sketches, but here are the 1st Three. I belive you had 3 fully fleshed as well? That makes 6!

The chart on the top is not yet accurate or complete btw.

 

[Palin_Twinblade]

[Ratherion]

Huh, I have a Hero with my whole fav theme as well, you will se him later.

 

[Palin_Twinblade]

[Kixer]

Triggering Update
Bad news guys, Im having major problems with my new pc. But Im taking it in for repairs today.
Death & Rath, death all i need from you is the creep buildings so that i can begin the creep system. And btw I've been doing quite a bit of balancing and editing to the creeps in your absence.

@Rath,
Ok I'll try to download those asap ( you know my predicament ).
Palen Update
Ok so I've redone Palen, and I'll upload it soon.

 

[Ratherion]

Status request:
Kixer - I realise you are having problems with your computer, but have you had a chance to acess those heroes I sent you?
Scyth- Could I please get a full list of all current testers to update the main post?

Is anyone besides Kixer good enough with JASS to help out with some of the hero abilities?

UPDATES
I have a few things to announce that we have decided to add to Ascendancy to clear up a few issues and add origionality.... and now I have to switch computers lol, give me 20 min.

 

[Gausslander]

Indeed I did, and you'll do us much good and all.
I want in least 9 testers until I make a list.
BTW, did you receive my PM?

 

[Ratherion]

DwafZealot, we have a forum for such discussion, and this thread is purely for the purposes of updates and resource posting.

If you could please go http://asendancy.forumonline.biz

That would be amazing.

 

[Gausslander]

Ahh, use GIMP.

 

[Ratherion]

People.... this thread is for Team Updates, and Project Updates....

Discussion goes in the OTHER forum ok?

 

[donut3.5]

Hello, Kixer sent me here to apply as an assistant triggerer to him.
I can also model, but not skin, and I am decent at making heroes.
--donut3.5--

 

[Ratherion]

Hello Donut, yes your main job is to be an assitant triggerer due to the massive workload in that area.

 

[DoOs_101]

What happened to this project? Is it still going on progress? Common update me Rath & Kixer.

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Yeah is this dead?

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

It is almost half a year since the last update, what do you think? Closed. If the author of the thread ever returns then he can request for this to be reopened by sending me an PM.
