Ice Rangers Beta v0.48

Background
Battle in various game modes using complex movement and weapon abilities.
The game is heavily focused on ice and projectile mechanics, forcing the player to use their grapple hook to move around.

The game can be a bit difficult at first but highly satisfying if mastered. Please give it a try!

Roadmap: The game is starting to get more and more finished now. Here is a small roadmap of what to do before it I consider it complete:
  • Thorough bug testing
  • Addition of new heroes (preferably 4 more)
  • Rework of certain spells (If they are not satisfying to play, they need a rework)

Gameplay
At game start, the host (lowest player number) selects the gamemode and game settings.
Each player chooses the hero they want to play, which all have a unique set of abilities.
All abilities in the game are focused on either manipulating the unique movement or projectile mechanics of this custom game.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION
  • A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
  • A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
  • Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.
