Pve maps are always good.

Choose one of the eight Heroes to rise up against the cruel dictator Death itself. Fight through 7 unique and different different levels, collect legendary items and kill dozens of hordes of undead creatures with up to 4 players!

sounds pretty funny actually my current project is nearly using same idea, but there is 12 heroes, its up to 3 players but there is just "only" one castle what is damn big and your quest is to fight for your life trough damn castle until you face the Death God
I gotta say you could imporve your terrain bit... Good luck this project

Please check my project too! Just press the link in my sign.

sounds pretty funny

, it actually was meant to be serious, oh well

actually my current project is nearly using same idea, but there is 12 heroes, its up to 3 players but there is just "only" one castle what is damn big and your quest is to fight for your life trough damn castle until you face the Death God /QUOTE], lol, what a coincidence. The idea of one massive castle is cool, are you making it linear or open?

I gotta say you could imporve your terrain bit... Good luck this project

, thanks for the tip, will work on it.

Please check my project too! Just press the link in my sign.

, your terrain looks good and detailed, you could work more on some of the textures of the heroes (e.g. ghoul, hero bloodelf, sylvannes?), the wolf and faceless guy look already cool. It looks though that your map will have a fairly large filesize (custom doodads, skins), be careful with that when your making it multiplayer. We could give each other reviews if you want. By the way, how do you add those images in the [hidden = titel] [/hidden]?

As for the file size. We are all the time watching that is the size of the map going too high. But as for now.. It is and stays as not too big. I could possibly check the skin stuffs as i've been working on most of them. Thanks for your comment. Even though it's not our projects discussion going in here . U have to ask that image thing from Piwlady.. I have no idea.
Though anyways talking about your map. I agree with Piwlady about the terrain it should be worked on. But otherwise it sounds great. Keep on working

 

[Piwlady]

That

Hidden

-tag images are easy to make just add image to your album and from there you can copy the "bb code" into your hidden tag like this

Example

The skins of the map are bit old but because garshilan is our skinner, he is gonna what he wants to do, i'm can't say what he should do They maybe could be better but it's not problem to me otherwise.

I guess the file size WILL be even bigger when we add those damn icons what I have made for it but with Widgetizer program or something like that it can be lowered. We will see.

If you need any tips or info or something just ask.

Update 2

Verion 0.2 is now available! Small update, but makes the terrain significantly look better.

* Map more detailed.
* A few units are changed a bit.

 

[Piwlady]

Could you please upload screenshots from new terrain?

 

[[K40$]-Spectre]

Could you please upload screenshots from new terrain?

, I've uploaded 3 screenshots of the improved terrain, they give you the basic idea. I still need to improve the terrain a lot though before this goes out beta.

 

[Piwlady]

Goodie. But use doodads as walls and that kind of stuff, standard cliffs are just so ugly

, thanks for the tip, now that you mention it, standard warcraft 3 cliffs are ugly indeed

 

[[K40$]-Spectre]

Update 3

Verion 0.3 is now available! And another terrain update.

* Even more detailed terrain, e.g. better looking walls like you see in "The Arena" and "Jail" pictures.

Also, I'm thinking about adding 1 extra hero ability to each hero. At the moment each hero has 4 hero abilities and 1 unit ability. If you have any ideas, please spit it out .

 

[[K40$]-Spectre]

Any feedback?, what could be improved of the map?

 

[Bernkastel]

Improve da terrainnnnnnnnn...

 

[[K40$]-Spectre]

Improve da terrainnnnnnnnn...

, I'll always try to improve that, but does something else needs to be improved or added?

 

[Piwlady]

Use custom skins, take a look of Ultimate terraining map and get doodads from there. I feel sorry to say that your atm terrains are damn poor. Make walls taller and that kind of stuff, so you get that EPIC feeling.

 

[[K40$]-Spectre]

update 4

This update adds attachments for weapon & shield items, e.g. see screenshot below in the hidden tag.

ItemAttachments

 

[[K40$]-Spectre]

I'm working on a very important update which will remove a lot of item ability bugs, expect it to be released in a few days.

 

[[K40$]-Spectre]

DarknessChasers it out of Beta now!

Changes

*New stackable item system for items that use charges.
*Changed the interface a bit.
*Added nice looking models for potions and recipes.
*Improved the terrain a little.
*And most important, fixed many bugs that occurred when using abilities from items.

I also added this map in the "Maps" section from Hiveworkshop.

Enjoy and have fun!

 

[[K40$]-Spectre]

Update

Changes

I've decreased the filesize severely, changed the Felhound Rider to Felguard which is slower but tougher, fixed an arena bug a little, fixed the Radiation Cloud bugs and added Hero glows for the Heroes who first didn't have one. And now only skeletons are marked as undead.
