"Jumanji. A game for those who seek to find a way to leave their world behind.
You roll the dice to move your token, doubles get another turn.
The first player to reach the end wins."



Jumanji

Well pretty much the aim of the game is to finish the gameboard and type "-JUMANJI" While having different things to run from or gather or kill etc etc i will be making up different things that arent from the movie into the map and idea's will be appreciated.

So far i have made the board which ive placed in the center of the map for reasons ill explain later. There is a total of 30 squares from the outside to the center so theres noone having headstarts and etc. All given a different colour of terrian to tell them apart. Terrian paths that are crossed have the center of them coloured to tell which one is going which way.

The Jungle which may look small but only one person per game will end up in here as you may be in there for awhile or sometimes not long at all. The top left is the jungle (if any of u havent seen the movie alan rolls the dice and a message appears saying "In the jungle u must wait til the dice read 5 or 8" and if you get that message u will be sent to the jungle until the dice read 5 or 8 (i was going to set a new hero there which levels every 20-40 seconds or so representing how many years you have been in the jungle (level 1 = 1 year, level 2 = 2 years and so on) But if the years reach a certain number like 60 you will die of old age or something. You are able to die from lions Van Pelt and other things once i start making them all in the jungle.

I've also started on a small village type thing i havent done much of the insides ive building's yet but will get around to it soon. The white is the footpath and the grey is the road fences around the houses bushes flowers shrubs as the gardens house in teh middle some / most of them you wont be able to enter as they are jsut there for show for example alan's house which will be enterable has 3 seperate levels since its a huge house and ive made a park where alan's parents are buried and a car park / shop where everyone is looting and alan crashes in with the police car which is found bloew the water.

A poor attempt but ive added the river where the pelican drops the game which leads to a long long drop where the game will drop here and have it float down this river unless someone grabs it before it goes into the deep water.

UPDATES July 11th

Sorry for the delay in making progress ive been sick with the flu.
But ive started making the heroes Alan, Sarah, Judy, Peter, Sam, Carol, Nora and Carl which will be the main players heroes throughout the game. Im not sure what skills each should get yet. Ive made all the BTN 'sand DISBTN's which may need to be changed due to visual problems if needed. Ive also started making Van Pelt, the lion which comes out of the game and a zebra which has the model of a white striped tiger which was the only thing i could get that looks anything like a zebra (for the stampede) the bats mosquito's rhino's and elephants. Some models i havent been able to get for certain units so i may need to use basic models until my map is worthy enough for me to request the creation of some models.

Ive just finished making a simple minimap preview which says Jumanji and a loadingscreen ill post a screenie of the loadingscreen soonish.


END OF UPDATES July 11th

Ah its in here now! I burrowed the movie from my friend and watched it! Though, if your making a cinematic You wont need the jungle. 'Cause you never see the jungle in the movie...

And can I see a closer screenshot of the game (the board game itself) and a screenshot of alans house...

MMmmm... curious... my secret project is a board game XD i's actually very weird xD (I've no idea what that has to do with your project XD)

I suggest you change the name, just to let you be more creative, and try not to just recreate the movie in a map... I suggest something like Jucrafty or Warmanji XD or well... things like that. That way you could add trolls or Orcs or Tauren, or some other creepy units that does not appear on the movie (Yes, I know, you already said that you're going to add things that doesn't appear on the movie, but mythical creatures and stuff like that could seem a little weird... but... that kind of things appear on the cartoon... so, maybe there's no much trouble then... but is based on the movie...) it's just a suggestion that come a little late xD.

Wish you luck in your project, looks awesome.

I wish you good luck on your project, it looks good.

your suggestion isnt to late :D

Theres always time to add new features / a name change.
At least everyone knows i got my ideas from the movie to start with.

prehaps my first release can be just movie based (not using the entire span of the map) then seeing how it goes etc and if everything goes good and its liked / played i can add and change things.

With the map name prehaps something simplier ? like Jumungle or Warmanji which sounds pretty good as well.

though its not really a main thing at the moment since im barely anywhere through finishing :p

Thanks for the suggestions if i use any of the ideas given it'll be thrown into the credits/help section ^^


Updated

Ive uploaded the loadingscreen screenie and ive done the BTN's and DISBTN's for the main heroes. which may need fixing up in the future ^^
