[Role Playing Game] Beyond Darkness: The Shadows

[Vengeancekael]

What do you mean "fusing together"?
Thanks for the feedback!


Also guys, would you appreciate puzzles and some escape parts?

edit: Ah yes, your settings need to be on highest to work.

 

[Saif]

it is ok to add something to the map
Extra features would not hurt

What do you mean "fusing together"?

I uploaded those photos to my album, you may want to take a look. Or you could edit my post and fix the problem on my codes so i may have an example for the future posts while you are being able to see them too.

Also guys, would you appreciate puzzles and some escape parts?

It is so rhetoric that i take it as a feature promise.

 

[Vengeancekael]

Ah yes, I see what the problem appears to be, easy to fix

And not quite rhetoric, no I would have added some escape and puzzle features in it like the previous map either way, just I was thinking if people would appreciate a whole level of escape/puzzles.

Voice Sets

Arutha (AI)

1# High Voice
2# Low Voice

Lemme know which one sounds better!
You're also welcome to do some voice acting, a female voice is still needed. (A GUY COULD STILL VOICE ACT ARTESIA ;D)

edit: I'm making some progress guys A boss has just been finished, 3 to go and then the final scenario will ensue.

 

[Saif]

wait for a while, Ill try to listen to the voices

Edit:
I would go for the high voice but I could not understand what he is pronouncing. Maybe make the voice a bit louder and make it more understandable
The low voice is more understandable than the high voice though

here is what I hear from the recording:
"Hey champion The captain ????? was also (I assume theres a word which I could not understand and i think it is willing) to help you get a choice by lending your heart

 

[Luorax]

That's "Hail champion, the captain of the outpost also #needs# to help you with the #constitution# by lending your heart" I think. The words wrapped in "#" are unclear for me, but that's how I heard them.

 

[Vengeancekael]

LOL NO! Not a heart, a hand! Oh you guys are so silly

I'll try to change my voice a little.

 

[Luorax]

Well, it's either we're silly or you have to speak more slowly and loudly

 

[Vengeancekael]

Hmm making some more progress, this is actually the first time in my life that I'm pleased with the progress I'm making.
I'm gonna focus on finishing the scenarios and then implement the rest of the items along with a few missing systems and the second class. (The final version will most likely have 2 heroes to choose from, along with the AI Arutha who you can control at some point as well)
Although I don't think the amount of classes is lacking, Artesia has 2 masteries and is getting at least 1 more. (3 are planned). And the second class that I'm gonna make is going to be even more complex, you can count on that.
I'm also drastically making the map harder.

 

[Saif]

waiting for your release then I hope to give you feedback and find some bugs for you

 

[LAYDK]

Why i can't play it??

 

[Saif]

Try to download the version on my signature and put it into your frozen throne maps folder.

 

[Vengeancekael]

If it won't show up in-game, make the file's name shorter.
Also thanks Saif <3

 

[Saif]

No problem. So when will the new version be released, I have been waiting for it since your last update

 

[Vengeancekael]

Today's the last day of my temporary job, then 2 weeks of vacation I'll probably finish up the entrance to the third scenario and then release it, so you guys can give me more feedback. Then I'll finish the last scenario and the items, etc. which should be v4.0. That'll probably be the last beta version, then off to release.
BEWARE THOUGH THAT I'VE BOUGHT DUNGEON SIEGE 1, 2, 3 AND KINGDOMS OF AMALUR, SO PROGRESS WILL BE A BIT SLOWER >
No but I'll try to release 3.0 soon.

 

[Saif]

Ok then, as long as we can play the game with more functions, we will be glad. I will give feedback as always and find bugs for you

I can't really decide which mastery I should add next for Artesia, so how about you guys just tell me. C: You can leave basic spell ideas as well.
In the meantime I'll be finishing up the alpha testing setup and then starting work on the second class. He should be available in the 3.0.

 

[drakexx]

Damn it, how could you reveal my secrets!

I play HoN so i know

 

[Saif]

4 more to go for the Le Amazing Finish.

 

[Vengeancekael]

Saif you may suggest Artesia's third mastery if you wish And some spell suggestions.

I'm currently working on the second class, Daedrius. He's gonna have a charge system, no mana, only cooldown.

 

[Saif]

Okay then, I shall try. So she has Fire and Arcane magic right? I'll think of something which would fit those 2 skills and how many spells needed for that mastery ?

So Daedrius would be something like a tank/dps type guy ??

 

[Vengeancekael]

Daedrius, no, he's an assassin who's melee, but his second stance makes him ranged and turns him into a demon. It's gonna be awesome ;P

As for Artesia, 4, with 1 skill that she has automatically that doesn't have 3 levels, but 1.
3 normals ones, 1 ulti.

 

[Saif]

ASSASSSIN. Will be waiting for that.

Okay I shall try to come up with spells for the mastery.

EDIT:
Here it is

Artesia - Wind Mastery

Wind Mastery[r] Abilities: Windy Presence (Starting Ability) Artesia gets an extra boost on movement speed with her mastering the power of Air. She also has the ability to slow down the attackspeed of any nearby opponent for up to 35%. Hurricane Storm - No Target Artesia calls forth Deadly hurricanes to be sent out on every angle. Any units who collides with the hurricane will receive damage. Wind Form - Artesia calls forth Deadly hurricanes to be sent out on every angle. Any unit who collides with the hurricane will be dragged with it to its final destination. Any units who collides with the hurricane will also receive damage. Wind Mastery - Passive Artesia has a 20% chance to send out a tornado which will send any enemy unit who gets caught in it up into the air for a short duration on every attack she makes. Wind Form - Artesia has a 20% chance to send out hurricane waves which will charge onto an enemy unit. The enemy unit will then be pushed back and will be slowed for a brief duration. Ultimate: Wind Form - No Target Artesia turns into her windy form for a brief duration. While in wind form, the abilities she usually casts will have a different and stronger effect. While in wind form, she also has the chance to evade an attack by 30%, have an attackspeed boost and receive 200% bonus damage from spells.

[Saif]

Any progress ???? DDDD

 

[Vengeancekael]

Oooh didn't see your edit up there Me gusta
No, sadly, school has restarted, so I'll be working on the map this weekend.

 

[Saif]

Ok then, good luck DD

 

[gorillabull]

what are all these undead doing in the green lush forest btw nice sorceress

 

[PUVer]

Version 2.1 does not run in the gamе. What is the problem?

 

[Vengeancekael]

It doesn't show up in the list?

 

[PUVer]

Show. But when I try to run, not run.

 

[Vengeancekael]

Do you have the latest version of warcraft?

 

[-Kobas-]

It's unplayable with locked camera, also I was able to refresh all my abilities with selecting same mastery again.

My UI was disabled I wasn't be able to see tooltips or unit portraits...

 

[Vengeancekael]

Lolol all of those things have been reported before, I'm working on them. (kind of)
I think I'll resume working on the next version soon, I just need to get this news batch off my back first.

 

[PUVer]

Do you have the latest version of warcraft?

Yes, ofk

 

[Vengeancekael]

You'll have to wait for the next version then, or just download an older version. (Under changelog)

 

[sonofjay]

I tried and its pretty fun but just like kobas said changing the mastery from arcane to fire and reverse, can refresh your spells, and sometimes the potion don't work it says my health is full even I only have 800 hp.

Also when I tried the lock camera I can barely see the view due to the huge doodads.

But I must say that the terrain looks very nice. +rep for that

 

[Vengeancekael]

The mastery thing can't exactly be fixed, I just need to tweak the system's concept a bit.
As for the pots, it's not a bug, your hp actually is full, it's a bug with the updating, for some reason the unit's HP count won't update on screen.

And the locked camera is just a placeholder right now, an actual system is going to be used.

 

[Luorax]

Either enabling/disabling the spells for the player or changing them via Engineering Upgrade would work.

I think they all need more spells tho', so yea, changing the concept is also an option.

 

[Vengeancekael]

That would be a possibility, but fixing that bug is not high priority right now, I'm just trying to finish up the second class' second stance and get version 3.0 out.

 

[Luorax]

That's a 5 minute work But it's surely your call, I'm just trying to give you ideas.

 

[Vengeancekael]

Seeing how my motivation meter is at 0%, a 5 minute work is a lot
I'm slowly getting back into it, so expect the new version in the near future.
edit: Note how I said 'in the near future', yet once I've finished up the second class I'll notice that I'll have to make other things connected to the new class, one thing being the item sets.

 

[sonofjay]

I hope you get your motivation up I'll keep my eye on this for future updates.

EDIT:
Added on my advertisement sig.

 

[Grievous1]

Why the hell I haven't seen this project before... it looks fantastic! +rep

 

[Vengeancekael]

---

Normal Hidden (Q) Shadow Strike Daedrius uses his shadow arts to find a weakness in his opponent, dealing extremely high damage and restoring some of Daedrius' health. Hidden (W) Dark Blade Daedrius embraces the dark powers of the universe, increasing his critical chance and healing him for every nearby corpse. Hidden (E) Phantom Bolt Daedrius fires a large bolt with 2 smaller ones attached to it towards the target location, damaging the first enemy unit that comes into contact with it. The 2 smaller ones will circle around until they hit someone. Hidden (R) Omnislash Daedrius lets out his inner rage, slashing 20 targets close to the target unit, dealing 150 damage.

Demon Hidden (Q) Sinister Blast The sins of the target fly out of its body, flying into the air, powering themselves and finally going back into the target, dealing 100 damage per sin. Hidden (W) Dark Beam Daedrius channels 2 beams of dark energy, damaging enemy units at the target location. Hidden (E) Dark Transformation Daedrius marks the target and transfers dark powers into it, transforming it into a dark minion of Hell. Also deals [500+INT]damage to enemy units close to the target. Hidden (R) Dark Grapple Daedrius lifts the enemy units at the targeted point using Mind Levitation and after some time, smashes them back on the ground, dealing damage.

(There's also his passive skill Power Accumulation which basically charges up his vortex charges, allowing him to cast his normal spells.
