Ent Seed: Life of the Forest

[Eccho]

cheers. Now Gimme that picture ^^

 

[varsaigen]

lol. I'll pastebin it to you.

 

[Eccho]

Hm... Is there a problem with gamersisle? My computer is having a hard time loading it, and can only display 10% of the whole site like it was a frozen picture...

 

[varsaigen]

Nope. It's me too. Except it won't finish connecting to the site. I don't even see any part of the site (not even the black background. :/

EDIT: 999 Posts! =D

 

[Darkholme]

you guys still having problems connecting? it's working fine for me.

 

[Eccho]

Nah now it is working

 

[Marshmalo]

I just want to say this looks great, can't wait for it to come out! I'd love to see some screen shots when they come available.

 

[Eccho]

I believe my new update of the resource system is done soon.
Since I'm going to a cottage with out family next week, I had to pass the Mini-Contest due to the lack of time :l

The resource system however will probably be ready before I leave =)

 

[pyropk95]

hmmm this is my first post in this thread...but about my 5th time looking at this game...and it seems pretty coool i cant wait until its done...any info on when its gonna come out??!!

 

[Darkholme]

were maybe 50% done.

i typed a whole bunch of info, but im not gonna type it all a 2nd time, hive is fucking with me again.

ill be able to work on this more sunday. ive been busy this week.

 

[varsaigen]

50%? =D That sounds great! (As far as large games go)

 

[NearbyHermit]

Hey Dark,can you make a status of ES:LoTF ?

In what percent are all materials completed?

 

[Darkholme]

Game Wide Design: 100%
Game Wide Scripts: 85%
Unit Design: 80%
Unit Implementation: 0%
Unit Spells: 0%
Hero Design: 0%
Hero Implementation:0%
Hero Spells: 0%
Terrain: 0-50%
(I don't know if we should use this terrain with changes or make a new one, but we can always ask a terrainer)
Graphics: 10% - we have some, but we don't know what we will need.

that looks like less than 50% butthe first three are the biggest. the next biggest is the unit implementation.

 

[varsaigen]

ok. Sounds fair. At least we kow what needs to be finished and started now.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Hehe,things are going well for Ent Seed,good job Dark ,Eccho and Var!

 

[varsaigen]

=D It is! And I look forward to it's completion! And, thanks for the compliment Nearby!

 

[pyropk95]

wtf is hero implentaion and unit implentation>??

 

[Eccho]

OKay guys, Im going on my vacation for a week within 10 hours now... If I dont see you before that, good luck with everything... I have done my resource scripting update part now, but I will ofc struggle to find some ideas when I am away.

/regards

 

[Darkholme]

just checked. your account is still there. I dunno why you can't find it.

 

[varsaigen]

I tried logging in. :/ And it said it didn't exist. D:

EDIT: Yeah, now I'm *still* logged in... Maybe it was a different site by the same name and design? Oo

 

[Darkholme]

there's a Gamerisle.com, but it looks totally different. I've gone there a few times by accident, but I could tell right away.

maybe you spelld your name with a capital V. I think they might be case sensitive.

 

[varsaigen]

nope. I don't press shift when spelling my name. lol but, it may have been a simple glitch. The login works now. =)

 

[JanSze]

hi guys im here again! Back from norway great holiday, great land
I will check stat at gisle. Looked for new ideas in my holiday. In norway they believe in trolls which live in the moountains and eat stones maybe you can use this in Oak as a nature spirit (stone cracker)^^

 

[varsaigen]

Trolls eat stone?!?! Oo Who knew? Anyway, sounds like a good idea.

 

[JanSze]

hrhr yeeah. A bit like golems maybe, too. In german you call them "Steinbeißer" which maybe means sth like "stonecracker" in english. I dont know the english word for this, sry^^ I will google for it.

off topic: congrats for your cat! Glad shes/hes back

- Need 0 more units - done
- Oak is almost all slow. it doesn't have 'fast' units - reworked
- Soilshaper sounds like an ent unit. maybe it should be - its more a caster, thought this would be more spirit-ish
than ent-ish
- Wolves are a core unit in Willow, let's only put them in one place. - reworked

The following are unit types that would fit well in oak:
Furbolg - used
Centaur -used
Bear - used
Druid Bear - not used
Maybe the Spirit of Sequoia could be a giant bear. - good idea, reworked

 

[varsaigen]

Wow. That looks cool! I can see this being used ingame. :3

[JanSze]

yeah i would like to use it, but i think darkholme will find fault with this because "mysterious" is more willow-ish than swamp-ish. ;D wouldnt you darkholme?!^^

txt file

 

[varsaigen]

ah. yeah, your correct. But I'e always thought that swamps were more in the spooky catagory. Florida has lots of swamps and in areas it can be pretty dark during a sunny day.

 

[JanSze]

yeah theyre really spooky In norway there were swamps, too. It was awesome but there were a lot of sheeps so it wasnt so spooky x) Those sheeps were so sweet well i could talk about this vacation for hours

But on topic: Where's darkholme and what do you think about my swamp techtree?!

 

[varsaigen]

But what do you think the sheep do at night? They haunt the swamps of course! And they act nice during the day to fool people.

[X-maul]

sounds like an nice map, but personally i'm more looking forward to see the Dungeon Keeper map, that sounds more like a new concept

 

[Darkholme]

I like both techtrees. I've been gone for a couple days. I'll comment more in detail when i get a chance over the next 1-3 days.

 

[Volvox]

Greetings from Bosnia and Herzegovina, i finnaly got my hands onto a computer so i logged in for a few minutes to let ya all know that i'm alive I see the techtrees are doing great and that makes me happy. Soon i should get a more permanent access to the internet but not WE so i'll get back to work, sort off... Eccho, i hope you're not downed by this, the hommw project is still running, you know.

 

[JanSze]

the progress is really slow atm... I can't do anything because Darkholme is busy and can't check my techtrees... (no offense!)
Hope you're here again, soon!
Greetings to mr.Bosnia and ms.Herzegovina

I see the techtrees are doing great

thanks

 

[Eccho]

Yeah indeed. Volvox, I have not slouched yet You could as an alternative use JassCraft i think, since it does not require We (however alittle hard to work if you dont have something with you)...

Darkholme seems to be off pretty often nowadays. But well, this is still running (I hope ). I can start implenting finished techtrees soon I think. If Darkholme approve ofcourse.

 

[JanSze]

Umph if this wouldnt be running I would be really sad I put so much work into those techtrees :&

I hope they will get approved^^

 

[NearbyHermit]

Hehe,as I said,it will be a total waste if they arent approved!

 

[JanSze]

yeah a total waste of my damn time *look to darkholme* so goddamn approve them

 

[varsaigen]

hi guys. a little check-in. XD Those techtrees are looking great! And Darkholme shuld check in. >< Dunno why he isn't... D:

 

[JanSze]

he said he was busy for the next 1-3 days... I think that was 3 days ago so he should be here the next days (I hope so!)

 

[varsaigen]

ah. ok. Well, I hope he comes back today. (for your sake) =P

 

[JanSze]

it gets later... Still no sign from Darkholme... What happened?! Maybe he went into a swamp to research it... and a SHEEP suddenly appeared in his back and killed him slowly and terribly...





Or he is just too busy

 

[Eccho]

The expression is otherwise; When pigs fly ^^

 

[NearbyHermit]

Any words from the Darkholme?

 

[JanSze]

nope. Nothing. I worry about him :/ I will send him an email.

Last Activity: Today 06:09 AM

hrhr he IS here...

 

[Eccho]

Well yes I spoke to him yesterday. And I did inform about the replies here.

Currently he is studying for examins (I think it was) for some kind of university thingy (lost it already). But well that explains why he is only dropping by for a moment of time.

 

[JanSze]

Ok. Thats ok School > Wc3

 

[Darkholme]

sorry about my gone-ness.
I entered the texcomp but had no time and didnt finish IT either.

double courseload.

exam in the morning, than another on tuesday.

Then I'll have time to breate again for 3 weeks.

after that 3 weeks are over ill have summer vacation for another couple weeks..

If it's any consolation I don't have time for a personal life either. I work, I do class work, I study, I eat, and I sleep. that's it lately.
