[Defense / Survival] My first (major) project...

[Girl-Stalk3r]

So i came up with the ideea a couple of weeks ago (not that original i know) to make a zombie town survival thingy... The map is still in early alpha (i think) so most things are not completed or started (like zombie types, all building types, triggers and so on).... I used the Ultimate Terrain map thingy to build the terrain. Custom pathing map for most of the doodads are made by me. No credits have been accorded yet since the map is still under construction.

I hope i can get some intel on the terrain,triggers, maybe enemy types... I don't know... Looking forward to your reviews. DO YOUR WORST !

Here are some screenshots :







If the glowy thingy is too much just say it...

And the download to the map :

Ive tested your map and here's my opinion:

Good things:
Terrain looks nice
Map has potential

Things that could use change:
More types of zombies
Various Hero classes

Things that need change:
There's a tree stuck in the building to the northwest of the central town hall building

There's not a lot else to comment on so far as the map is still in early development. I have only taken a quick look at the terrain so there may be some more stuff that needs fixing.

Hmm wasn't expecting such a possitive review

Ok so a friend told me to add multiple heroes from with to chose. Like class hunter/mage etc. What do you think about that ?

 

[Awsan]

You could add all the classes from WoW (excluding Death Knight, that would be ironic), and give them all fancy abilities from WoW.

 

[Girl-Stalk3r]

That could be kind of hard since i'm not good with vjass coding...

 

[Awsan]

i am neither, but there's probably someone out here that is, you could ask them in the Project Recruitment thread.

 

[Girl-Stalk3r]

Cool, thanks for all the sugestions, i owe you big time.

 

[Girl-Stalk3r]

Ok so i finished the terrain and added some types of zombies: Regular,Fast,Wolf,Shield.

The shield zombie didn't work out as i expected i guess i would have to request that model.

Can you tell me if the zombie stats are allright ? I mean i don't want too big of a number for the hp/dmg/armor/attackspeed/ms values.

You can use the

iseedeadpeople

to see all the types at each of the entrances and afterwards type in

attack

in the chat to see them "perform" in combat.

Really, bro? Really? He actually has a good chance of finishing a map, and you suggest making something so massive it is not fu*king possible!?

Girl Stalk3r, first thing: what's with the creepy name?
Secondly, I think you might wanna use this model. It has a variety of animations and is great for all shooting maps, and I am sure you could come up with skills to fit him.

If you need any further help, feel free to contact me

 

[Girl-Stalk3r]

The name for the map is not quite invented yet if you know what i mean... just a proxy.

This project looks damn good for a starter. The terrain looks ok but I would suggest some more environmental dodads such as tocks which should always be in the part of nature. Also, the the fog for me looks good and resembles a plague or something so maybe for the name of the map: I would suggest either... "The Plague Arises" or "Rise of Terror".

And for my zombie suggestions (based from L4D2 concept):

Zombies!

Zombie
-Easy
-a normal zombie with decent attack, armor and movespeed.

Risen Pack
-Normal
-Zombies that comes in a group. THey would be dangerous to engage when you are alone!

Zombie of the Plague
-Hard
-Zombies with low attacks but poisons the enemy, low armor but poisons the attacking unit and poisons enemy that made contact with it(applies to melee enemies only). This zombies would be hard to engage when you are a melee unit and when it gets near you!

More ideas coming For now, have my +4 REP for this interesting project of yours!

 

[Girl-Stalk3r]

I hope i'm not being rude by asking this but... whats a tocks ?

I would suggest some more environmental dodads such as tocks

. Also thanks for the rep and suggestions, there will be more info on the progress of the map underway !

 

[Binsu]

rokcs I mean. BTW, good luck on this. I would support you on this one !

 

[Girl-Stalk3r]

Oh, thanks, if you want to contribute to this project il pm you the latest version and you can work on whatever you think would be best to improve, like the enviroment if you will.

 

[Binsu]

Mostly the terrain I can do some little improvements. Only little because I also have a project map that I am working with sadly.
