Wendigo Horn

Wendigo Skin

Spoiler: Functioning

These two treasures will be marked in your inventory with green letters referring to their importance, along with the materials that can be easily obtained by exploring the world (shown in the heptagon).

Once you obtain an object with the green letters, then it only remains to join it with the Wendigo Treasure and the hunter's scroll.

I always love an interesting campaign. You might want to have a moderator move this to the Map Development forum unless you are specifically asking for ideas. Chances are more people will see your project that way.

[Tryce09]

Hi everyone,
We found that a few structures and npc allies/enemies lack translate, thats was my mistake and sorry for that, we already fix it but the next version will be come late with a minor change of enemies between chapters 5 and 6.

 

[tulee]

Can I ask how many chapters you two guys plan? In the description it said 6 playable and 2 cinematic were already done. To be honest, it sounds like the campaign can be posted in the map section soon, since 8 is already a lot.

Can I ask how many chapters you two guys plan? In the description it said 6 playable and 2 cinematic were already done. To be honest, it sounds like the campaign can be posted in the map section soon, since 8 is already a lot.

Good afternoon, we plan to do the campaign with this content:

Introduction / Prologue
3 playable chapters
Interlude
3 playable chapters
Interlude
3 playable chapters
Interlude
3 final chapters
Epilogue

Considering what the 6 chapters not yet made contain, we are 40% of total progress,also we do not test each chapter an appropriate amount of times, it is possible that we rewrite some small things, but in general the process of creating is only continuing .
In a short time, I will upload updated images and a correction of the text of the current version

 

[Nimajneb]

dead?

 

[Tryce09]

dead?

Hi! i can blame you for think that. We suffer a creative block actually.

But don't worry the proyect is still alive, i working on rework the script(change dialogue, add new characters, rework some olds) and @Nubelial is working in new skins/models. We already have the new scripts for chapter 1 and 2.

With lucky we will update with a new version "soon" which add, new units, new heroes, new enemies and new maps! Also that version on the first post is now NO canon(LOL). but we will appreciate to play it for testing purpose.

Spoiler

If Nubelial don't forget his password again, he will show up a new model for a basic unit.

 

[Nubelial]

Hello, the project had a considerable delay, because almost all the chapters are undergoing drastic modifications, an increase in main characters, new models, new secrets, optimization in the endless text and new levels. Our priority is worldbuilding, there are many intertwined stories to tell and all of them will be correctly implemented.
I will upload screenshots of some level modifications,new chapters, also a suitable warrior to the lore.

Spoiler

We not only edit some chapters, we also have the continuation, the following images are for those who finished the small demo that we uploaded

Spoiler

 

[Tryce09]

Hi everyone! In these months we were working in the campaign, and because storywise there is two orcs faction that travel to the mysterious land of Kathmaral we decide to make both playable, so in every melee chapter you can choose what faction will be used this will change some dialogue to know more about the heroes, also we add new heroes to the orc team.

You already now this faction, because is the core of the actual campaign but we change some of their skill sets and upgrades.

Garabolg Faction: The mighty orcs from the forests of Garabolg are the oldest faction of orcs, their time living in hardship places allow them to understand the magic that surrounded and use a bond of brotherhood to face the enemies whatever their are.

Spoiler

PROS
-High HP units
-High melee damage
-Good resistance againts magic and spell damage
-Ofensive spellcasters

CONS
-Most unit has expensive cost.
-Low Ranged damage
-Low resistances againts physical damage.
-Basic defensive capabilities

Heroes who command the garabolg's armies.

Sahrena, the Chieftain

Spoiler

The leader of the orcs from Garabolg, a former disciple of Mognul and an old friend to Marak, She was the last orc chieftain that survive the purge of the Empire against the orcs and one of the few that despite their differences allied with her brethren from the east, the valorian orcs despite her "weird" rivalry with Kajiro. A powerful sorceress that call upon the benevolent magic from the earth to heal her companions or unleash powerful sand storms to vanquish foes.

Ironmask, the champion

Spoiler

A warrior of uncertain origin, Marak the stone warden found him in a forgotten mountain and convinced him that rally to his people, and since then he become the champion of garabolg's orcs and right hand of Sahrena, sadly he was openly discomfort about the alliance with the valorian orcs and this cause a clash with their leader, but despite this he always put aside his own prejuices for the sake of all orcs no matter where they come from. Under his brute guise lies a born leader and fearless warrior, whose mystery origin only is surpass for his might worthy of a legend.

I want to add that the character section from the OP is outdated now, but don't worry, we will update it soon(i hope).

Spoiler

And don't worry, Marak and Mognul are still important despite they are no longer the faces of garabolg

A lovely campaign!
Played and enjoyed every part of it.

Thanks for taking the time to test the campaign and comment again, currently much of the content of the campaign is being modified and updated, we removed a lot of text but in return there is much more worldbuiling, I think it is win and win.
Soon I will update the main post with the updated campaign, new chapters, mechanics that we are going to test and as my partner mentioned, also new characters and we will further differentiate the orc factions.

Hello everyone! Today I have other sneak speak, as I said before we are working in two playable factions that you can choose in every melee chapter, this day i will proudly present:

Kajiro, The Lord

Spoiler

Son of the former bodyguards and royal advisors of the king of Valorian, his parents died protecting the king of a assasination plot. In gratitude the king adopt him and his baby sister in the valorian royal family and treat like his true sons.
As an adult, Kajiro heired the marcial skills of his parents and learn the art of war and tactics to become a born leader. Hi was send in an important mission in the Argaham's temple where meet his rivals Marak and Sahrena, Disciples of the Sage Mognul, despite their initials clash, the three becomed in best friends and together defeat a dangerous cult of renegade orc that threaten the garabolg's forests.

Yazgrim, The Renegade Maiden

Spoiler

Youngest sister of Kajiro and member of the Valorian royal family, she was a born with red hair, an inheritance from the matriarchs of the extinct northern clans, who were more fierce than their southern cousins, her parents before their tragic death knew that she was destined to greatness, they tasked to Kajiro that protect her no matter what.
As a young women Yazgrim learned alongside her brothers the art of leadership and war, but in the nights she escape from the castle without notice and enjoy the company of the citizen of valorian, meawhile her brothers faced the enemies outside the kingdom she done the same with the enemies inside the kingdom, thieves, criminal, and corrupt nobles who abuse of their autorithy, along with citizens concerned for the welfare of the kingdom, she gain the loved of the people, but the royal family, especially her brother, who was concerned about her reckless undercover acts because she suffered many injuries and some of her companions died in the line of duty. Regarless this, she gain the command of local militia when her brother become a Lord. Like her brother, she suffered by the Nimaru's conflict and saw how many good people died for old hatreds, but she never lost her positive and friendly attitude, the one who stick together a many orcs in these dark times and despite being overprotected by her brother and his friends, her hard working winning many supporters, and to surprise of everyone even winning the support from the Mighty and dreadful IronMask himself.

Personal note

Spoiler

I really enjoy writed this update and the story of those brothers, i remenber whe kajiro was just the "yes man" of the story, and thanks to the improved models of @Nubelial i can write a female orc that will be funny and crazy in her dialogues

BTW soon my friend @Nubelial will announce a new mechanic regarding the items, that our heroes will be found in their adventure.

 

[Nubelial]

Hello again, here Nubelial, at the end of this month (Yes June) I will update the post with the updated content, there is too much we want to show you.
The campaign has many shades and as @trycex mentioned, I will talk a bit about the items.

I will place an example of three (there are many more) of our hostile inhabitants of Kathmaral, a bear, a boar and a Water Elemental.

The loot obtained from the animals is perfect to advance in the game, they will not only be useful for their base statistics, when the items come into contact with each other they will merge into unique and powerful objects.

The amount of animals and items is high, and the drop is random, but all items interact with each other, each story will be unique, each time a player starts a new game he will receive new objects, throughout the entire campaign.


The gods of randomness reward explorers.

 

[Tryce09]

Hi everyone! Today we update the OP and add a new demo version.

This version contain:

1. A new hero for the story, Sahrena.

Spoiler

I hope that you never love chapter 3 because will be suffer a heavy rework

 

[VastanX]

I REALLY love it. Is Fresh, new and is a new type of Orcs!
I really enjoy it and the characters are very likeable.

I also love that is not in the WOW universe. Like Arkain.

Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed the demo, thanks for your time and for testing the campaign, we are currently redoing chapter 3 (the map got out of hand).
I hope that this month we will be presenting one more faction and in August presenting 3 more chapters and an interlude.

Spoiler

The new chapter 3 will be more compact and simple.

 

[Tryce09]

Hi everyone! I hope that all you alright,
Today I come with news the first one is, that we update the OP

-Update the backstory about Garabolg and their leader Sahrena
-We add a new mini-faction that helps the orc in their quest and a new character

The seconds new is that the new chapter 3 is done and tested but we decide that it will release with the new chapters 4 and 5.

The old chapter 3 was a mess because was one of the first map that we made, it was too big for a early chapter, lack of variety of enemies, the optional objective was a joke, and was a total nightmare to balanced, it was or too easy or become too hard and slow(Nubelial always kill around 450-600 wendigos everytime that he play in hard mode LOL)

Meme

Spoiler

The new chapter 3 is a lot more friendly, faster and enjoyable, where you can test in a real battle the orc units.

Spoiler

If you played the demo version, you saw that the orc spellcasters (Earth caller from garabolg and Wind caller from valorian) lack of new models, so here are the new ones!

Spoiler

The Valorians were adjusted, because they were a little weak.
Finally but no less important we are working in the new chapter 4, the terrain is done, the new units too, we only need to the the new IAs and the balance.

 

[Nubelial]

Hello lieutenants, we really wanted to present 2 chapters and a cinematic even clues for the next arc. But it seems that it will take us longer.
We were customizing each character and adding effects.

Spoiler

Also to enemies

We added a variety of items, update icons for the factions, the following image is just a fraction of what we did.

Spoiler

Edited particles for a suitable immersion and pleasing to the eye

Spoiler

We spent several nights fighting and testing each chapter, to preserve the balance and improve the characters.

Spoiler

The progress will serve to accelerate the rest of the chapters, my partner had a brilliant idea regarding the design. We estimate that next month we will bring the next chapters, thanks you for your time.

 

[Tryce09]

[Navy45]

A very well made campaign !
I played through the first level and the beginning of the second on the 2.0 Demo on 1.29.2 on hard mode(didn't play since the first version, the one without the 2 orc factions)
I really like the new hero and units !

Bugs found:
1st level :
When the Valorian grunt is introduced, he is described as good against piercing damage but his passive just reduces all damage received by 4.

2nd level :
In the opening cinematic, there is a group of valorian orcs just standing in the middle of the native village before the orcs even arrive.
In the Marak segment, I obtained 2 horns of wendigoos (6 damage for the cermonial scroll) but not the other material. Is this intended ?
After the Marak segment, I gained control of Kajiro and Sahrena but not of the other Garabolg units. (I'm pretty sure it's not possible to solo the rest of the mission with 2 heroes so I think it's a bug)

Also, not a bug but a suggestion. I don't know if this is possible but it would be really useful for the orc units to have a backpack to store consummables to use against bosses or to keep items to combine later when the hero's inventory is full (especially when Marak is alone, you are forced to leave behind some usefull items.

Overall the campaign is really fun ! I think you could reduce a little the amount of runes after fights because the consumables are really cool but are not really needed.

 

[Tryce09]

Hi Navy! Thanks for test and comment the campaign we really appreciate any kind the feedback

1st level :
When the Valorian grunt is introduced, he is described as good against piercing damage but his passive just reduces all damage received by 4.

I complety forget this lol

2nd level :
In the opening cinematic, there is a group of valorian orcs just standing in the middle of the native village before the orcs even arrive.
In the Marak segment, I obtained 2 horns of wendigoos (6 damage for the cermonial scroll) but not the other material. Is this intended ?
After the Marak segment, I gained control of Kajiro and Sahrena but not of the other Garabolg units. (I'm pretty sure it's not possible to solo the rest of the mission with 2 heroes so I think it's a bug)

1-Bug, in chapter 2 in hard mode kajiro and sahrena's group replace with the strong version of their respective faction but looks like not test this much.
2-About the wendigos horn, you only need a special material + tier2 item + special recipe to create a tier3 item, with those 2 wendigo horn you can create 2 offensive tier 3 item and, there is rng factor some you were lucky to pick 2 two horns.

Also, not a bug but a suggestion. I don't know if this is possible but it would be really useful for the orc units to have a backpack to store consummables to use against bosses or to keep items to combine later when the hero's inventory is full (especially when Marak is alone, you are forced to leave behind some usefull items.

We studied that but I discarted because in the adveture/micro chapter the unit with backpack and item maybe screw up the sub group of units and because are normal units they will lost the gear in the next chapter, still maybe we study add some stash like rexxar's campaign.

Overall the campaign is really fun ! I think you could reduce a little the amount of runes after fights because the consumables are really cool but are not really needed.

We will study this or change some runes, is knew to us that the orcs have a lot of sustain to keep advance through the adventures.

I invite you to test chapter 2 in normal to finish it, before the day end we will upload the fix of chapter 2 in hardmode.

Overall the campaign is really fun ! I think you could reduce a little the amount of runes after fights because the consumables are really cool but are not really needed.

Thanks for coming back to comment after your adventure.

The reason for the existence of so many runes and consumables that keep troops very healthy for combat, is that these levels were created on top of the old versions where the orcs twist their ankle every 3 steps, we will adjust the sustain for future versions . Thank you for reminding us.

I just uploaded a DEMO 2.1, correcting those errors and also updated the post with some information regarding the objects.
Your suggestion is precise, we will place it in future versions, I will also detail the list of objects better ,for the moment just remember to keep the green texts and The hunter's scroll.

By the way those two horns that you obtained prove that luck smiles at you haha , I usually only obtain consumables by turning heroes into alchemists.

Don't worry about which of these you carry, they are all useful and each one makes a unique combination (14 hunting objects for the ceremony)

Greetings Fighters, I just updated the demo to version 2.3

-2 cinematics were added
-an adjustment in the troops to differentiate the factions
-the enemies and natives received some equipment, I will not leave my boys in prehistory

Spoiler: IMAGES

The inner walls of the kingdom of Valorian, the first thing one observes when traveling to the kingdom, are the statues of the noble kings.

Being a watchman at the gates of Occeriana, a city of merchants, sailors and fishermen is usually quite a heavy job, stopping piracy and the internal troubles of the kingdom ends anyone's patience.

The lighthouse stands on the northern shores, pirates are usually a problem from here to the lands of the EASSSSSSSSSSSSST, but the merchant king goblins, often swindle pirates.

The natives of Kathmaral do not waste resources, it is normal to see them use weapons of bones and equipment of skins. Hunting and moderate gathering kept them alive for generations.

Kathmaral is hostile and cold, but it's easy to find calm once hunter and survivor training is complemented.

"The Kharyan, despite the fierce behavior mentioned in the zoology book "White Death", my studies on them made me conclude that they form more of a bond of friendship and loyalty with the orc hunters, it is not a master-beast relationship, but a Companion-Companion." - Erudin

Among the most important characteristics we have to mention:

-We will review how the campaign progresses by freeing all the heroes from objects, now they all have 6 slots for objects.
-To keep the detail, we update all the heroes so that they have more synergies in their spells.
-All heroes have 4 skills that can be improved (we will no longer contemplate a "lvl 6 ultimate")
I hope you enjoy the campaign, we will currently make slight changes to this first arc (we consider that it already has everything we had in mind), now we will focus on the next arc.

Spoiler: SPOILER

Keep fighting.

Hello again!

Sadly I have barely news about the project, we become a little lazy, but don't worry! We still working in it!

I'm testing the next demo just to fix some bugs that the testers find and improved some stuffs.

Also here is a little sneak peak of the chapter 6

Spoiler

Meanwhile the Crasherwave crew make alliance and fight against unknown foes, someones in the west try to survive.

You can use an underwater passage to some place but strange noises come from below.

The surface path may be safer, but something is watching from the sky.

They both called Gasha?

Hi!

They both called Gasha?

That is a mistake, actually this is a old version and we asked for help to improved the dialogues and overall EVERY TEXT from the campaign, but because we were busy we couldn't update the post.

To tomorrow we will upload a new version with some rebalance, fix and grammar fix.

 

[VastanX]

Awesome
