Goblomania!!

[Mr.Goblin]

Hi ladys and gentleman.. i just had a brilliant idea for a new map..
an Rpg about Goblins!!! (again )

Its goblins on a Island that have to survive to every Creature..

heres my concepte...

and heres the model that have already been created by my friend Inico textured by me.. (btw .. this model is ME! mouhahah!) was an old request i'm sorry.. [Style have to add some attack animation] cause its based on the Tinker model..

So.. its a bunch of new Goblin race..(much smaller with bigger ears and cloth that are to bigg for them)that live in an island.. and they have to fight the critters and stuff to survive... like rabit, raccoon, etc...

living in a fearie world they will also have to kill some fearies and other small race like them...

--> Its only a concepte.. but if some is interested to help me.. well it my become a great and funny rpg...

Okay here's everything you should know about the map (models, screenshots.. etc..)

 

[SeRviLy]

I have been wanting to work with Goblins more, but havent concentrated on it enough. MORE!

 

[Artins the Great]

Hey! Map sounds fun! and Funny! (Get it?.... auuh) did u check out this site? because there are BUNCH goblin models (Both wc3 and WoW exports) in this site hope this helps. good luck.

 

[Artins the Great]

Sorry.... trying to help...

 

[Hero_Lief]

Damn dude, I'd love to help. All RPGs I'm working in don't need me right now and I LOVE goblins. I took over Goblin Exploration [in case you've heard of it] because rulerofiron99 didn't work with it anymore so now I'm apparently the owner. So I can give you models and systems used for that... For the map, I'll terrain, make quests, find models, give ideas, make a loading screen, storyline... Here's a full list.
-Icons
-Loading Screen
-Website
-Terrain
-Quests
-FIND models [I know a bunch of good ones on hard to find sites =p]
-Storyline
-Most GUI triggering

 

[SeRviLy]

I'd like to help, but not sure what with, maybe terrain Some triggers maybe =D

But really, it would be fun to work with Goblins, like i said ive been wanting to work with them more. There just isn't enough.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

WOW... all aboard!!! i need someone to make the icons... and the triggers.. and the quest.. etc.. i will make the terrain and write all the ideas down.. i was thinking of an island... where theres only 1 goblin village... and a Comics kind of graphic.. so nothing crazy...

monsters idea?!
--> Crazy rabit
--> Crazy cows
--> Crazy boar
--> Fearies
--> Leprechum ..etc..

(right now i have a virus so i dont want to start any new map .. incase i give you the virus... (just in case)

i will make the terrain... (i will take HERO LIEF and SERVILY aboard ^^)

now .. what we need...

--> A Story
--> Quest that goes with the Story
--> Items concepte
--> Creeps concepte (i can skin them)
--> Goblins models
--> A Nice world (i need ideas)

 

[Artins the Great]

There is Leprechum model in the site I mentioned. (There is one scary one and one realistic one)

 

[SeRviLy]

Well i dont know how much help i could be in the story heh. But ill try and brainstorm some ideas to fit your idea. There are some very nice goblin models in the models section her eon this site, but they aren't cartoony like you'd like. Be nice to figure out a concept that would have the goblins needing to go to all the places you have listed. I think Hero_Lief will be of more use than me hehe. Ill keep coming back though, and hopefully with some good input.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

I call for the terrain!! what about you?

 

[SeRviLy]

I call for looking at the terrain by Mr.Goblin and making minor tweaks, if not major! >.< But really if you are doing the terrain, which i think you should, i would like to see your layout and then maybe make some suggestions/improvements or something helpful.

And i just read the link in Hero_liefs's sig, that is one hilarious thread topic. Wow....

 

[Mr.Goblin]

well .. you could make a sketch of a island possibility.. i will make one too.. so we coudl decide and brainstorm about the terrain..

 

[SeRviLy]

Well im wondering now, how big or long would this RPG be. When i look at your sketch of the entire map i think, decently sized, fairly big.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

I dont want it to be a really awsome Rpg.. with like Jass spells and stuff .. that you can change what ever you want.. just the funyest rpg that have been ever made on warcraft3 also .. if you saw the size of the goblin compared to the humans.. it wont be really really big... and i can also create a small map but with lots of place.. (dont know if you understand) Like in Zelda for example... you have a forest... well it could have alot of small cavern and stuff that you can go into... with like secret passage and stuff...

so i think what we could need on the terrain is

--> a forest
--> a field
--> a beach
--> the village

and maybe an other forest.. kind of..

Edit: here the kind of terrain i will make ^^

*Teletubbies* Ftw!

 

[SeRviLy]

Hmmm. Yes i like the zelda setup. I understand you want funny. Terrain idea, i assume something more like zelda and less teletubbies haha. So i understand that design. And i did notice in your drawing how small the goblins are so the critters will be like bigger if not the same size haha. So every other race these goblins come across is pretty big to them. We need some kind of Dodongo Boss fight hehe. For quest stuff all i have on my mind now is make the quests very creative. Like having to step on runes or place stuff somewhere, puzzles, like zelda. And do you have a very basic story layed out or no? Or maybe even what their objectives are after the goblins defeat the critters on the island. And i am also assuming it will be linear gameplay, meaning you have to play the game in a certain order, and maybe some things you can do before or after other things...

 

[Ghost765]

you should make like a small human town on the island, and make really strong humans there. that would be intresting.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

shure..... we could also do a farm.. that we can go in... like only during the knight when the dog is sleeping and the farmer also..

 

[SeRviLy]

Maybe the humans are the ones that have been forcing the goblins to minimize their race by putting them on this island in order to control them. And the goblins decide they are just not going to deal with it anymore so they need to take over the island in stealth or loudly. If done loudly then there will be a bunch of humans to fight off the shore/beach on the other side of the river/ocean. But generally the whole story could be that the goblins are tired of the humans forcing them on this small island and want revenge and in order to do so properly they have to go through a bunch of other quests. And eventually lead up to the high and might Human Mountain hehe, which would then be where they kill off the humans or some kind of silly revenge. Doesn't sound so funny or cartoony lol.

 

[Ghost765]

i dont understand how shin-high goblins can dominate full plate footmen :\
its more like the footmen are gonna stomp on em and kill em.

 

[SeRviLy]

well i dont see how link was able to do all that he did as a kid. Shrug.

 

[Hero_Lief]

It's simple that they can pwn a footman... Goblin are explosive! Look at the sapper! And they use their inventions for weapons!

Sorry for not talking much, was playing StarCraft ALL DAY LONG with a friend.

I also forgot to mention: I do concept artwork...

I'll link you to my goblin drawings- Ahh crap. I just remembered I uploaded my goblin sketchbook to a different computer. >_< And it's Mac. Crap. This is PC. Oh well I'll upload onto photobucket.

 

[SeRviLy]

well i hope you read everything since your last post Lief! hehe. Upload them drawings!

 

[Mr.Goblin]

its not a bad idea.. but i have a good one also... the humans... connolized the island where the goblins live... so they force them to run away.. and build a village in a hidden place... so the goblins.. are trying to get back their island.. by scarying the humans with Shadow effects.. and by stealing things.. etc... bla bla bla..

 

[SeRviLy]

Well we are getting somewhere now. That idea would be better in a way that you are in a safe zone at the start of the game and not where the humans are at the same time. So it could start out at the goblins new place, and things are under construction and a group of goblins are being recruited to get gear together and get in a boat to go to the island and take back the island.

 

[Hero_Lief]

Holy shit... I finally found a thread where the 3 that have the best ideas are all active at once for more than 2 minutes! XD

Okay I can't upload now I will tomorrow tonight my Dad is on the Mac see it's his mac I don't know why I uploaded the images there =\

Hmm... How about this...
...By the time I finish there will be a new message to reply to, I'll write it in word then paste it in a few posts =\

 

[Mr.Goblin]

Or... we could say.. that once upon a time.. a wizard made a mistake and created a new short of creatures.. based on a fearie and a frog.. and that created the goblins... a new race incroyably intelligent that jump really high.. but dont know how to fly.. (instead of the fearies) so behing rejected from their creator and the Fearies.. they want revenge and take back the control and show to the other fearie creatures.. that they are nothing but a trash and non evoluate race... so

The goblins start in a swamp.. they could ride frogs and stuff.. and they will explore the world.. till the final boss = the wizard..

(an other idea)

 

[Hero_Lief]

Nah I don't really like that idea... Opening word.

 

[SeRviLy]

I like it. Its funny, and he wanted funny. lol. I love the riding frogs. Would be great if we could get some goblins riding frogs models hehe. I also like the goblins starting in a swamp. Could be good location for them. They could have all sorts of pumps in the swamp doing pumping stuff.

 

[Hero_Lief]

Okay, after some thought, here is the storyline so far.

A small goblin settlement located on a small, swamp-like island is having troubles. Humans are moving in from the south, and the numbers of the larger wildlife are constantly growing. Help was sent from Tinker Fort, a nearby fortress, to aid the settlement. You are the apprentices sent out. And by the time the threats have been neutralized, you will be the masters.

However, you later discover that these threats are not just happening at the same time by coincidence: The Gnomes are causing rapid genetical mutation with their new weapons being tested. It turns out they are the ones moving in from the south, not humans.

Threats are not the only things happening, though. Recent researches have been made in the village and it has been discovered that it is possible to tame the environment. The stable masters of the village have gained new pets and mounts. New pets include baby wolves the size of a Goblin, and new mounts include swamp turtles and giant frogs.

 

[SeRviLy]

I freaking love it dude lol. CLAP! lets do it!

 

[Hero_Lief]

There's proof I can write stories! Now for the full thing.

Starting from humble beginnings, you must save the village and harness the threats coming at you. Are you a true Goblin Apprentice?

I'm going to make a terrain screenshot for like the loading screen or whatever. I'll upload it to photobucket and show you guys so you can see if you like it.

Damn I hope the ultimate terraining map has swamps in it.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

yeah! this is a really good idea.. but .i dont like the wolf idea.. goblins should have funy beast to ride.. like frogs .. turtel.. RABITTTTtss! and chicken..

 

[SeRviLy]

I say they only ride Swamp Toads. Maybe turtles. really depends how much effort we really want into this. And if we are going to put quite a bit in then it should be a fairly big map/game. But not to big =P

And for that Ultimate terrain map having swamp well you could make a swamp with regular brown water in the editor, or something of the sort. As for models around the swamp ummm. Dead trees, brown trees. brown plants etc.

 

[Hero_Lief]

Augh just a moment you guys I have to reboot my comp.

 

[SeRviLy]

As far as i know it doesnt have tiles. Id just use some fall tiles. maybe edit them make it dark brown or so.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

let me do it.. i can .. its really really easy to make a swamp.. just dont worry about the terrain.. i have it in my hand.. ^^

 

[SeRviLy]

Well you are terraining it =P. We are here for support and ideas! At least thats all im good for at the moment. And beta testing! maybe even alpha testing!

 

[Mr.Goblin]

i must go to bed now.. i will be back around 4h p.m tomorow.. (now its 10:27 p.m)

and will have to wait abit till i could show you some screenshots... cause i have to fix a thing (i just removed a big virus from my computer)

 

[Hero_Lief]

I'll take that as an angry yes.

Second most [merged]: Hmm, it would seem as though I cannot fix my little WE bug. Augh. D:

EDIT: WTF?!!!! It wants my Warcraft 3 disc! Wasn't that fixed a few patches back? Crap, looks like I have to repatch ><

 

[Mr.Goblin]

Oky i'm back... now lets talk about the classes that the goblin could have ... i subjest.. instead of classes... will say proffession..

Alchemist
->he can transforme some plants into a fighting unit...
->He can blind creatures
->he can heal his team-mates
->*He Drinks a potion and become a crazy goblin (he became furry and jumps averywhere [Dr.Jenkyll and Mst.Hyde])*

Engeneer
-->He create small control vehicules that drops bombs, mine etc.. (Controlled Tank, and Controlled Helicopter)
-->He create bombs...
-->He make fighting robots
-->*He create a mount (Big robot) and control it)*

Fisherman
-->He trow a net at you
-->He use is pole to bring the enemy to him. with a critical strike
-->He summon a muloc and he can ride it.
-->*He catch an other enemis and can throw it to the other enemis face.. and the two enemis are getting mad at each other and attack the other*

Entertainner
-->He sings and that scares the enemis or make them sleep
-->He can make a magic trick that confuse the enemis (stunt) for 5 secondes
-->He spit fire...
-->*He fire fireworks that make masive damage in a ''X'' area*

and i dont have any other idea.. for now

 

[SeRviLy]

some of those sound complex, thought you didn't want complex spells haha. But i do like the fishermen idea. And the engineer, i dont quite understand why he can summon vehicles and robots, its basically the samething to me. And as for summoning units that you can ride, meaning optional, sounds kinda neat, but not sure how it would be useful. So i think rethinking mounts may need to be done to see how it will work and whats the purpose of being able to ride it.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

for example = if your murloc have much more life than you..
well you could go and ride it.. to be protected from other attack...

 

[Hero_Lief]

Crap dude I really like those ideas! I'm also thinking a thief [black text]. Maybe has an ability to steal from guards and can pick locks and such. Also has shadowmeld etc.

 

[SeRviLy]

Those are some really good ideas guys. I hope i can get the chance to think of my own -.-. Im still at work so ill be on and off.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

well... its not really a profession ... cause i love proffession cause its a new idea... and we can came out with really awsome and funny ideas... like

Cook
->He create a Fire with a cooking fish on it.. and all the unit on a yard of ''x'' are attracked by the Firepit... and dont do anything for 20 seconds... but their life regeneration is increase abit during the spell (can be use to get ride of enemis or heal your group)
->Discusting meal! You throw your worse recipe to the enemi and make him throwing up and hes poisonned...
->Fryan Pan Hit.. you stunt an enemis for a while.
->*Special Spice* You throw them at an enemis and all the enemis on it jump on it and eat him alive..

 

[SeRviLy]

Mr. Goblin sure has excellent ideas for classes to choose from. Sounds fun.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

now.. what we need.. is a modeler... D: to make a female version of the goblin and to animate the one we already have .. (if you like it) + the mount (if we use some) cause some of the unit like the turtel.. can already be mounted if we use -chest attachment with auras..

 

[Hero_Lief]

I know of this model.

Let's all go on B.Net sometime and share ideas.

 

[SeRviLy]

Well what realm would you guys like, im always on USWest, channel name, might as well call its "GOBLINS!"

 

[Mr.Goblin]

Hum i cant open warcraft 3 right now.. cause i have lost my DirectX connection .. will try to fix it dont worry... why not on Msn?
