DarknessChasers III: to Soil the Purified

DarknessChasers III: to Soil the Purified

DarknessChasersIII is still in progress, many of the things you see in this thread are WIP.

Story

The story of DarknessChasersIII continues the story of DarknessChasersII. When the boss Death itself (the big boss in DarknessChasersII) was killed by the Heroes (which are controled by users/you), he was not killed entirely. While his body was slain, his mad and evil spirit still lived on. This spirit of Death itself had only one goal, taking revenge on the ones who slain them by horrifically tainting their names. To accomplish this, his spirit entered the bodies of the Heroes. Your job as a player in DarknessChasersIII is to take one of the Heroes who Death's spirit controls and to kill a high holy priest to complete Death's twisted plan.

nice job there, but the hero select area needs to be undead-ish. it looks too holy for these undead to be in

 

[ClanOOKARep]

, it is still in ~alpha so there's still a long way to go , terrain is WIP and I don't think it needs godlike terrain, I will try to make the best of it though.

, lol, tnx . I saw your mine, it was epic.

 

[Piwlady]

Thx The mine is my personal favourite
I can throw you some terraining tips at some place, when everything else is pretty much completed ^^ If you need ... just ask

, when I see the mine again, you probably could give me tips about every piece of my terrain ;D. It just doesn't even look like warcraft 3 engine anymore, more like a dungeon siege 2 engine. But of course, when I'm finished with it, be my quest ^^.

 

[[K40$]-Spectre]

bump
added 2 new terrain screenshots and added info about the 10 heroes.

 

[ACdestinydream]

ive done the helmet like this
edit: i tried putting on and it works. now onto textures.. maybe i will upload it onto thw. without ur permission i wont ofc.

 

[[K40$]-Spectre]

ive done the helmet like this

, looks good, does it fit on the priest's head?

 

[Catch_ya]

nice project! i like the use of small sfx models in the terrain. The terrain is also pretty well. Good luck on this project i wish you the best.

, thanks! Comments like these help us to keep working on the project!

, agreed

 

[ACdestinydream]

if u want it to, i can do that.

 

[DudeSpirit]

Horrible name for a map

 

[[K40$]-Spectre]

if u want it to, i can do that.

, but than the model/potrait of the unit has to be changed right?

Horrible name for a map

, I beg to differ, maybe the name sounds a bit dumb but it gives valuable information about the story of the map, they/you (as an user) is/are chasing (/hunting) darkness.

 

[ACdestinydream]

yep...

well for this version u dont chase darkness.... so u cant call it darkness chasers. but, since its a lore, it can be accepted.

 

[[K40$]-Spectre]

yep...

well for this version u dont chase darkness.... so u cant call it darkness chasers. but, since its a lore, it can be accepted.

, yeah that's true, maybe I will change the name someday for this one.

 

[ACdestinydream]

i got a good idea: darkness chasers:death returns instead of darkness chasers III

 

[[K40$]-Spectre]

i got a good idea: darkness chasers:death returns instead of darkness chasers III

, bit simple but you gave me an idea, what do think of this one: "Darkness Chasers: to Soil the Purified".

 

[ACdestinydream]

how about darkness chasers:breaking the light

 

[[K40$]-Spectre]

how about darkness chasers:breaking the light

, that's a good one, though I like to Soil the Purified more . Btw, how is your texturing working out? I still need to do 1 stage than the terrain is done (excluding optimizing and perfecting it).

 

[ACdestinydream]

not quite, cos i need to cut out all of the pics u want and then make them into textures, then properly fix them. haarrrd work.

 

[[K40$]-Spectre]

, you don't need to use all pictures, just the ones you may find usefull (they were suggestions). Good luck with it!

 

[[K40$]-Spectre]

Screenie update. The 2 added screenshots are from the second last stage, the fortress of the light worshippers. I'm still working on the terrain for the last stage, it's a bit a pain in the ass so it take awhile before I completed it.

 

[ACdestinydream]

i like ur screenies lol. i will be ur 1st player. (test map player)
oh ur helmets is going to be done. u can be ready to get it in 1~2day's time

 

[[K40$]-Spectre]

, I sure could use a someone who will test it, so yeah why not ^^. Take your time with the helmet, I still need to go pretty long way till it's finished.

 

[ACdestinydream]

from now onwards, i will be continuing darkness chasers 3. pls post what u would like for the map. any suggestions, any new heroes will be welcome.

 

[[K40$]-Spectre]

Important note

I'll no longer work on this map/project (at least not for now), I've given ACdestinydream the map so he can continue/work on it.
