Eldroc

[Drunken_Jackal]

Well his model is the Beastmaster.
If he uses a normal model, what ERYFKRAD is saying makes sense.
Solid Punch could be something like Force Strike. Change its description to:
Dozer adds so much force to his weapons and strikes it at a target unit (continue with other stuff).

 

[Atticus]

Solid Punch will stay the same for now, I'll post screenshots so you get a better idea of what it will look like later this week. And as for Second Wind, a diminishing return really wouldn't matter; Second Wind is not an effective tool to return HP, its pure function is to allow the ability of 'resurrecting' yourself. The DR is there to prevent players from having it used every time they die. It might be changed to use quite a bit of mana, and no mana is returned when Dozer gets back up, making it impossible to use more than 1-3 times.

Another note about Second Wind, the abilities you are given during Second Wind aren't nearly as effective as the spells you would normally have, making it more difficult to get that kill during the 10 second window.

 

[Softmints]

Some very well-crafted and attentive terraining there, I really liked clever use of assets for the factory entrance. Good luck with the project!

 

[Atticus]

I need another person to help on systems. If you are interested please send me a message or post here.

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Well you have Berb right and Ciebron?
Berb is an awesome coder, so why not ask his help?

*cough* Border *cough* lands *cough*

Anyway, aside from that the terrain looks nice in certain places.

Uh oh. Glad you bumped the thread with the obvious.

Well, not much else is to be said at this time.

What is the scale of the map? I mean appearance, will it be a very high birds-eye view, or more like the standard WC3 view.

At this time, the camera is slightly higher than the WC3 view. To showcase some of the spells, as well as some of the terrain.

On another note, progress was slow last week, and again the same this week. I have finals at school, but will be done on Friday; after that progress on Eldroc dramatically increase.

 

[Atticus]

Finals for me are now over. Production on Eldroc has started back up. A list of new things planned for implementation for this week; all things completed in that list for the week will be announced at the end of the week with new screenshots of terrain as well as screenshots of systems and spells this time.

Thank You
-Atticus

 

[Arcisal]

A tid bit of advise.

Decrease the size of your screenshots. It's horrendous to simply see my scroller move halfway down the page by simply opening one hidden tag.

But other than that, love this. Especially the comic-book styled presentation!

 

[Atticus]

I'm in need of someone that knows there way around ground textures. Please send a message or leave a message here.

 

[Tutnitweh]

what exactly do you mean? does your map do any progress ?

 

[PROXY]

I don't know how I have overseen this so long :O

Anyway, aweeeesome project, continue like this, I like what you already made!

 

[Atticus]

Added progress bars. These bars are for Beta only right now. However systems and spells should transfer over very quickly to the other maps once they are completed.

@Proxy Thanks Proxy

 

[yogiman]

hei, when approximately is the beta playable man? cant wait for this awesome mappa. shizzle!

 

[sonofjay]

hows it going Atticus?

 

[HOooDy]

By The Way , I Like The Way You Present It .. Pretty Impressive +Rep Dude Keep On Working It ..

 

[Luorax]

I think I've seen those item-tier colours somewhere...

The main post looks great, we might finally have a decent single player map. Looking forward for more information, mostly gameplay-wise (I personally don't give a s**t about story and stuff like that, a fancy story won't entertain me, but a cool gameplay could possibly make me play it)

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

I would love to beta-test this, so here is a suggestion:
Since you don't seem to care too much about file size, why do you use Blizzard models? If you're not going to use custom models, at least re-skin and reanimate current ones.

 

[sonofjay]

Don't need to use custom one if blizz model serves it role, its still great to see a huge SRPG, while only using blizz models. Anyway, c'mon atticus, show us some life. :C

 

[Luorax]

I hate thos low-poly blizzard unit models as well. There are some cool ones, like Anub'Arak (or what it is called - the undead bug hero), the Goblin Alchemist or the Firelord, but not too many of them. For an SPRPG map I'd defitely like to see some better models, because I also think they're ugly.

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Me thinks Atticus wants to keep the WarCraft 3 feel.
Also, Atticus, we are all anxiously waiting for a response from you.

 

[Luorax]

Using some more detailed models will not ruin the WC3 feeling IMHO.

 

[sonofjay]

I'm dying to hear some progress..

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

even if he wants to keep wc3 look, there's no reason why he wouldn't have them reanimated. it's something that you don't see too often. it would be a great plus

 

[sonofjay]

The thing is, Atticus haven't updated this for a month now, haven't even post or something.

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

He hasnt been online at Skype either.
Also, some models here at the hive do have WarCraft feel at them.

 

[Kgg123]

Looks...so...Impossible...but so wonderfull!!

 

[zerg6006]

Is there anything new?Don't give up!

——from a Chinese war3map translator

 

[RiotZ]

How exactly do you have 9 256x256 maps? Is this single-player?

 

[sonofjay]

Single player, he is using the same technique on Rexxar's campaign, but damn, haven't heard for a while here, maybe Atticus abandoned this, damn, I just love this project but...

 

[Marsal]

Wow I love the entrance of the factory dungeon. It looks pretty cool with these eyes.

 

[neo_sluf]

This is just like the other RPG out there.

-New RPG says there are original but the truth is they just have the same CONCEPT the only thing is different is the WAY IT PLAYS
-Pls. No Offense i just tried of READING "NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN"
-Why just a UNIQUE STORY? Its just played on warcraft so i dont expect this rpg will be played on the other way

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Read it again to know how much different it is from the others.

 

[sonofjay]

@neo

you didn't know a damn thing about this project, specially when you haven't played it yet.

 

[HappyTauren]

This is really nice, I hope it gets released

Fairly blunt way to put it. Its unique in a way. But not completely raw. But that's no reason to smash someones gizards lol.

 

[neo_sluf]

Sorry Again....for what iv'e said....

 

[sengjung123]

this. is.
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!11!!11one!

is the assassin able to use a bow? cause long ranged assassinations are most of the preferred assassinations in the olden times.

 

[ExecutorWar]

alright i like this one its like dragon nest in wc3

 

[sonofjay]

Please, please let this thread rest. It will really be so nice to see this going but there has been no updates for 7 months.

 

[gorillabull]

[sonofjay]

You don't need to bump it.

 

[gorillabull]

sorry

 

[Binsu]

This thread looks attractive with the comic like picture you've put to it so I expect a great game on this. Good luck and +REP!

 

[Stylo]

This looks so promising! Going to put your SING. It will be commercial.

 

[gorillabull]
