Godfall 2 progress

[Em!]

Oh hi, long time no see.

If by any chance you are still waiting expectantly for Godfall 2 to come out i am pleased to tell you that we are almost complete.

Tech tree is 100%
Everything related object data is 100%
Models 100% done
Mostly everything 100% done
"cause only the campaign is left."

but dread not, we have already been working hard and swiftly on the campaign!!

There will be 5 maps to play and all races except 1/2 races will be available for play in the campaign.
2 and a half terrains are done.
1 campaign map is nearly done still just some quest description and some ai fixing needed to be done.

I´ll add some game play footage and videos in this thread here soon.

About the campaign "Why only 5 maps".

Well the game will be played in "ladder" mode.
You choose which race you wish to play at start, lets say drow.
Then 4 out of the 5 maps will be played, the one missing will be obviously the drow campaign map.
The final map will be against a boss race.

After which i do expect an expansion since i got mostly everything i need to finish 2 more races in a short amount of time. Then u can expect i would add 2 more maps to the campaign.

I also been under the impression that Mechanical Man plans to add some bonus maps which would be unrelated to the ladder mode maps but i am not sure.

Cheerio

You should update the thread more frequently so more people will comment.

 

[Em!]

[Em!]

Anganite drow campaign complete
Fort August empire campaign 90% complete, just have to run some more tests and add quests/req and desc.
and did some more terraining on wood elf.

Seriously though it irksome to test alone, need a tester.

Ps. Campaign was almost ruined when editor decided to rename everything to Trigstr.125 "random number". Lucky i had backups

Thought this one is dead, guess not <3, waiting for the release always love playing RTS map specially new races for war3 <3

Yah we were almost dead but we have done so much work on this, same to let it die.

 

[Em!]

Alrtie wood elven terrain is complete and i am setting up ai...Well technically i should be finished with the ai but having some difficulties and have to wait for the tech support which is mech to figure it out.

Fort August and Anganite should be complete, just some testing left to be done.

 

[sonofjay]

*tightens seat belt*

Waiting for the release

 

[Em!]

Ok
3 maps have been fully tested and are playable. Except for some lag in elven map, have to look into that.
4th map is almost done, terrain is complete, ai is prepped, gameplay is set just have to do some test runs to check difficulty and bugs.
Map options is also up were u choose the race you want to play.

Havent touched the fifth and final boss map yet and i still have to compile credit list but i´d wager i am gonna release before the end of this month

I´ll post screenshots soon once i am able to remove all debug messages and the like

 

[Em!]

Got some good news and some bad news.
Good news is i finished the Campaign, its fully playable except "heres comes the bad news" a bug was discovered in 1 of the maps which were trying to fix but seems like its gonna be difficult to patch.
Hope i can release soon though.

 

[sonofjay]

Awww, I hope it don't delay the release that much. Good luck guys!

 

[Em!]

Expect a release this week, on Wednesday if no more bugs/flaws are discovered.

Scratch above message, i forgot the tutorial map. Mechanical Man is gonna be adding that. So atleast release this week or the next

 

[Mechanical Man]

Hold your horses, I think that still many things should be done, I haven't even test fully, because there are still bugs and someone has to do a better quests and displaying info system. so I'd rather see in two weeks.

Stupid id2String bugs >.<

 

[Em!]

party pooper

 

[Em!]

Sorry for long delay, we have not stopped working on the campaign. Mechanical Man wants to patch up the system before release and he seems to be too busy to do it, but until he does my hands are tied and i cannot release.

 

[sonofjay]

Been a while since we heard any news about this mod, glad its not dead. Still waiting for this one.

Updates

After some redo-ing campaign style, there are finally new updates. All of 3 human chapters passed the test, only thing to do are general things like hero spells and global bug fixing. Some screens of the last chapters (don't mind the messages, debug features):

Before attack

After attack

 

[Mechanical Man]

Elven chapters now tested too, except for minor bugs that will be fixed quickly it went fine. I fixed also problem which occured when loading the game because of 2string functions. Some screenies of elves

Base

Fight

 

[Heinvers]

Awesome, yeah, terrains need improvement, but it's good.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Yeah, ironic to your signature, many of these maps have massive use of blizzard cliffs. Anyway, I finished test also Drow maps, now it's about hero spell fixin and finding other testers for these maps. Drow pics:

Army

Assault

 

[Heinvers]

I'll fix them if you require terrain help sometime. Anyway looking great so far.

 

[Mechanical Man]

I updated the hero spells, so now the maps should be fully playable, but they may contain many bugs and the story and text still needs to be reworked (along with terrain of course). Here is an example how the story parts will be presented instead of cinematics (may not be appealing to everyone):

Info pic

 

[Heinvers]

Hmm, everybody is different so opinions may differ of course. Well for me it seems quite good, I'm liking how you incorporated the undead into the story. You're making it sound like it's a real invasion.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Text and picture may change until the release, I was just showing the filters and to see if people can read the text from it or should I find more matching color.

 

[Heinvers]

Well you could make that text clearer.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Because I want to keep the font suitable to the race and keeping an image behind. I should find a suitable color which best contrasts with the background image.

 

[Heinvers]

Well that could work too I guess

 

[Mechanical Man]

Here is some pic of a map which may or not be included in the final version, to have some unconvetional race on a unconventional scenario, which includes also a bit of sea exploration and combat. Here are the Skardans

It's time to Parteeehhh. Looks sweet MM.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Orcs are also one of the important races of Godfall

Orcs with their Drow allies

 

[Radagast]

I read that as Orcs with their downs allies...

LOL. Still the drow are new around I think. It looks interesting.

 

[Em!]

LOL. Still the drow are new around I think. It looks interesting.

Actually it is the Orcs that are new, drow has been there since the beginning.

 

[Heinvers]

So what areas are you currently working on/ or systems at the moment?

 

[Em!]

Mech is doing cinematics, i am leisurely tinkering with heroes and upgrades, not a lot to do for me unless I want to do a new map but there are already 16 maps in that campaign.

 

[Heinvers]

What kind of heroes? Some examples would be good^^ MM is always busy as I've noticed

[Heinvers]

I've noticed that you've got to still decide the 2nd hero for the orcs. It looks pretty good overall.

I´m not sure whether I should have an orc shaman or orc nomad/archer unit. My previous lore was that orc like humans stayed away from magic. i´m not much of a fan of orcs and I really don´t know how to proceed with them but I tryed my best and I hope you guys will like the final version.


There is one more race though, well two....Vampires and Skardans are in the campaign. Way back I also did lizardmen building models so I may edit one map to include them.

Why would be always busy?
