Decode & Destroy - A VERY UNIQUE PROJECT

[Vicboy]

INTEL

Currently, I have 200 words as string variables.

All I really need to do are game modes.

The anti-virus is the viruses' target. You cannot continue without it. The anti-virus uses the "Phoenix Fire" ability to shoot down the enemies. The viruses won't die instantly, but take damage instead.

You have to upgrade the anti-virus with the free memory space you got from killing the viruses.

You can add additional "phoenix fire" abilities to give you additional shooters. The maximum (I guess) would be 12.

You can upgrade those 12 shooters with additional firepower. This will kill the viruses quicker and prevent them from hitting your base even if you have decrypted them.

Looks interesting. Keep work on it.

 

[Lancer1111]

Agree with Luckerguy, nice idea.

 

[Element of Water]

Hmm I'm not a great fan of typing games (mainly because I can't type fast), but this looks really unique for wc3 and I'm sure lots of people would play it.

With 6 players, I'm sure you won't have to worry.

 

[Element of Water]

As long as they can type fast...

There will be a lot of difficulty customizations, so, even one guy can play this game.

 

[Element of Water]

There had better be extreme difficulty levels.

Stage 1
HP: 150-300
Units: 50
Letters: 5-7
Speed: 160-200
Damage: 100
Bounty: 1
Length: 10 Minutes

Like that?

Very Interesting, Quite a unique idea there, Asteroids with a Twist! I like it.

Speed: 160-200
Damage: 100
Bounty: 1
Length: 10 Minutes

Like that?

No I mean like you can choose difficulty level at the beginning out of something like:

Super Slow
Slow
Normal
Fast
Super Fast

Try make more variety for it, you can view this map to have a little idea.

(1) Typo Shooter - Wc3campaigns

 

[Vicboy]

Yeah, its pretty much customizable.

I knew I'd have to change settings on the way to making this project, that's why if you look at my triggers, it's going to look like this.

(x = variable)

Stage x
HP: x1-x2
Units: x
Letters: x1-x2
Speed: x1-x2
Damage: x
Bounty: x
Length: x Minutes

So, all I have to do is change the x to something then presto, everything will be like that.

Damn, that game is good.

I haven't thought yet if I should lock the camera.

 

[Element of Water]

You probably should.

 

[Vicboy]

You probably should.

why?

 

[Element of Water]

It'd be a pain if you moved the camera by accident then you couldn't see the words which are right next to you and you lost a life (I assume you will have lives in this game) because of it.

 

[Vicboy]

Then I'll have 6 players on one screen. Nah, that doesn't sound good.

 

[Element of Water]

I'd make every player have the same cannon - they have to work together to keep the enemies at bay - but you score points based on the length of the word whenever you shoot something, to make it competitive.

 

[Luckerguy]

I'd make every player have the same cannon - they have to work together to keep the enemies at bay

and each player have his own corner where the enemies appear. You could lock the cam then for each player to his own corner.

Not really what I want.

I'll update the thread soon on how the cannon works.

EDIT:

I just did. It's called an Anti-virus btw.

There is a lot of good typing map genre out there. The one I link to you was just one of it. Better work hard on this map or else it would just be another brand of typing map.

 

[Element of Water]

So, what you have to do, is type the name of a virus to make it targetable by the cannon, then the cannon will shoot at the targetable viruses and eventually destroy them? Sounds good, except what can you do to make your cannon kill the viruses quicker other than add upgrades, which you get by killing them? It seems to me like this map will be easily completable up to a point where it is impossible to go any further...

What? I don't get it. But, right now, I have made two types of upgrades: additional shooter and increased damage on a shooter.

ofcourse, I'd be adding more, like increasing health of the Anti-Virus and repairing the health.

I never knew that much people (approx. 5 maps) got my idea first

 

[Vicboy]

UPDATE: I've decided to increase/decrease difficulty during game so that it will be challenging yet possible.

Also, I've made some bosses, including ones that damage more, creates clones, and requires sentences to be typed.
