About The Map
hr-line-2-png.323209

ss1-jpg.323200
EmberCraft is a total conversion isometric ARPG. It is heavily influenced by the infamous Torchlight 2 and Diablo 3 as inspiration for the dark atmosphere but takes place in an entirely new world with custom plot and storyline. It features enjoyable monster massacre with challenging and amazing boss fights. It revolves around a cluster of powerful random content generation systems (for item stats, dungeon, shop, etc), to always deliver new experience on each go, and to provide incredible amount of item variations (6,000+ and counting).

Storyline
hr-line-2-png.323209

The world was once a peaceful place. That's until unidentified beasts began to invade and wreak havoc everywhere. They seemingly appear out of nowhere, as if they came from other reality. After years of calamity with no resolution, a mysterious figure came to us and offered a solution. He claimed to be able to facilitate teleportation across multiple realms. We then called him The Mercenary, for a reason. He avouched that the very same phenomenon is also occurring in other worlds simultaneously and asked for cooperation to resolve the nodus. He then told us everything, about the Netherflame and The False Goddess, the root of this chaos...

ss3-png.323246
Verraje, the false goddess, is a self-proclaimed deity who desires chaos and total destruction. To achieve her ambition, she created the Netherflame, undying dark flame, to disrupt the balance in nature by uncontrollably producing vicious monsters all across the multiverse, creating endless conflicts, with the ultimate goal to wipe out all kind of life form and send everything back to nothingness. After years of struggle, we finally found a way to reach the celestial palace and we started numerous clashes with the goddess. But many strong heroes have fallen under her otherworldly might...
But it was not all in vain. We noticed that the beasts stopped appearing when we were clashing against the goddess. We then speculate that the Netherflame, the once thought eternal and infinite, can be extinguished by defeating the goddess...

Being aware of the struggle, the goddess started to gave birth to some of the most frightening beasts in existence from her own flesh and blood. They guard every gateway to the sacred palace. Since then, no one has ever managed to reach the palace. Those guardian beasts are frighteningly powerful. But we, yet again, speculate that for her to achieve such feat, it must have weakened her in some way. This can be our chance to defeat her and put an end to this centuries-long calamity.

We have lost many times and many lives. But we can not afford to give up after all the sacrifice of our ancestors and many great heroes. We need the bravest warriors like you to continue our struggle and keep fighting in the front line. Our fate, our world's fate, now lies in your hands, warrior.
* the story is still under development.

Ok it runs only on 1.31.1, tried all other versions nothing visible. I dont know if they're bugs but no NPCs had any dialogue and using the Talk button did nothing. Apart from hacking monsters in the dungeon, I didn't understand what to do, where to follow the storyline or progress to next dungeon. There seems to be only 2 sorts of scrolls, and you need to be Level 10 to access the 2nd type didn't play that far.

Overall, the system in place is impressive and brilliant, but gameplay didnt hold much interest.

Thank you for feedback. At this point it has no storyline, whatsoever. The project was supposed to expand from there, we worked on storyline and NPC interactions, super cool story telling and cinematic job, more classes and item variations, boss fights, etc. But now I have little to no free time for modding so the project is on hold for the time being.

Hey there!
Spent some time playing EmberCraft and I've gotta say, Beautiful Map! I love the art style of it all! You guys have really been putting in some great work, it's a whole new game!
EmberCraft Feedback:
  • First thing I noticed is the main health bar and icon display needs to be adjusted lower for better visibility. But you're probably aware.

  • Music stops playing after a while, not sure if this is intended or not. But worth mentioning. Perhaps add a chat trigger command to manually restart it, or loop it?

  • Skill system looks great and I admire the attribute system! Good work!

  • Awesome how you get those flying healing missiles from slain enemies! I wish I could do that lol. Maybe I'll experiment with that next, in object editor.

  • I like the idea of changing Item Visibility for picking up items. But I don't think it's necessary when we can already pick items up with the Spacebar. Although, I suppose it may have a purpose I'm not yet aware of. But I think it's bugged, because I can't click on Gold or health potions. I can only pick them up with Space, regardless if Item Visibility is toggled On or Off. The toggle itself seems broken besides showing texts above items, thus making it only an Item Text toggle, as far as I can tell.

  • I feel like the portals offset sound needs to be adjusted. It doesn't sound smooth enough when getting closer or farther in my opinion, but this is very minor. It sounds wicked besides that!
This is all the feedback I have so far, I may send more later when I've played through it more. Cheers! :peasant-cheers-back:

Hi. I will probably drop an update (maybe) soon. Including some hotfixes regarding resolution issues, it's now expected to work on any resolution; some camera adjustments; and the map will be open source!

Updated to v1.2b:
  • Fixed most UI & resolution related issues. The map is now expected to look correct in any resolution (16 : 9 aspect ratio still recommended).
  • Improved/adjusted camera & most UI element positions.
  • Optimized minimap to use new UI natives (UI Utils).
  • Minor updates & improvements.
  • The map file is now open source (no protection).

This is a long delayed update so there maybe some other changes that I've forgot. And keep in mind that the map was designed to be played in SD mode.
