[redscores]

The Darkness is rising...

2000 years ago: A proud king named Leorin built a kingdom with a majestic castle in a blooming land, they lived all in peace for some time, but the king got more and more greedy and attacked nearby lands to rob them. He heard, like many other kings, from the necronomicon, a book which would make the bearer the master over the world, Leorin slaughtered all those who could have the necronomicon. His eyes got a dark and empty tinting after so many painful deaths caused by him... However, leorin could never find the legendary necronomicon, he got old and died, but he got a son, his son, Leorin the Second got the same attitudes as his father he searched even in the Dead Hills, a forbidden and forgotten country, covered with everlasting frost, there he found 1 of the sites of the necronomicon, the site emitted a weird power.... Leorin fell in a trance like state of dreaming... he saw black shadows which tried to seduce him, with success... those shadows guided him to the old "Arcanum", a hall of dark magic and mystery... there found Leorin the necronomicon... he was at the state of becoming insane... but as he read the ancient book of the dead he understood everything.... he took the necronomicon to his kingdom... slayed his mother and cut her head off.... slayed all the wardens to make them his slaves... a dark energy empowered him... in his insanity he used the necronomicon to become immortal in the world of the undead…… he gave himself the name: Demonias..... His hate, and the dark magic drowned his lands and his castle in frost and darkness.. he destroyed his old castle, and built on the mass grave of his old castle a castle of frost, the ICE FORGE! Now he sits in his castle and controls the dead bodies of his old comrades....to drown the whole world in darkness and decay... And YOU take the role of the heroes which want to cleanse the world from this plague!

HAVE FUN AND GL! And tell me balance issues and such!

0.01 FIXINGS: Knock back bug, skirmisher tooltip fixed, improved typos and mind control bug fixed , changed the room-to-room cam change.

0.02 FIXINGS: Reduced the difficult by weakening boss attacks and mobs. And tried to fix the stuff with the knocked bosses. Additionally I prevented the desync's by changing to a new part of the Ice Forge through not using loops.

0.03 ADDITIONS: DPS system, Damage Show System (player-coloured damage), all shown on the multiboard.

UNFIXABLE BUG: the damage show system works not on the first boss, but you can see your dps on the multiboard, it has something to do with the "overhead" attachment point for the floating text.

I like Ice Forge and i'm glad you're still working on it. IMO you deserved second place in that contest, but that's just me. So anyways, it's a really good map and I find it somewhat special, I especially like the abilities of the heroes.

Not to be an ass but creds would be nice in the thread but if not its alright.

As far as working on the map you could always add more bosses in. Or more heroes/abilities. You dont always need feedback to improve something. just introduce something new.

I love this game, nice concept, good models and spells. I know this is for 4 players but it will be nice if you give difficulty selection so people can test his in singleplayer.
The only thing I hate from this game is the camera. For the beginning, its seem good, but, it's make me dizzy and confuse. The rotating camera make it hard to move especially when I turn back.

It would be nice you conclude some screenshots in the thread. Other than that I like the concept, I will try playing it more later.

 

[redscores]

Well, I will add some screenshots, and btw Famous, the credits are under the link (you are still written in as a creator).

 

[bestoboy]

wow sounds nice But I'll probably won't be able to play it until a few days, my computer really sucks

Good luck with it though!
Oh, and the screens look good too

Why are there trees inside the dungeon...?

 

[redscores]

Because the third screen is from the entrance of the ice forge, and the ice forge is somekind of an castle, so theres a courtyard with frozen trees.
