New Wc3 Team

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Yes, I think most of us agree. While I do not tend to make you "warm" for one of the ideas I posted already, I think for example the space station idea is small enough while still having many possible extensions. In a certain way it's a mini-game, with the potential of growing into a big map.

Intentionally, I saw that concept as a space-themed map (as in: you're inside a station, there's security camera's; etc.) while still having many fantastic elements, mainly heroes like "pack of rats" or "Zombie" that have "less scientifical" abilities. It could ofcourse be transformed into a more fantasy oriented map. This could go from a gnomish laboratory with test animals that try to escape, to a giant spider lair with prisoners that need to escape before they get cocooned. I personally feel more for a space-theme because I think it fits the idea better though.

There is one thing I do find important though: it shouldn't be a "me too" map. If you decide the team should make a TD, you better come up with a good idea that would make this TD different from the others. By this I don't mean having more towers (although if they differ a lot that would be good too), but having a different way of playing it.

Totally agreed.

 

[THE_END]

I would favor changing it to something more WC3-esque, science fiction in this game just doesn't sit right with me

 

[Kwaliti]

Wrestling map

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Well,that would be nice and the hardest map ever.Imagine a Paladin doing some Sweet Chin Music!!

 

[Kwaliti]

SNAP SUPLEX! DDT! Oh my, WHAT'S UTHER DOING? He's taking a MALLET!

I can imagine it already!

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Yay!Now let's talk seriously once again!

 

[Kwaliti]

Hmm, a TD could be nice, but a party game would be even better!

 

[bbfreak]

ill join the team if you have any room i can do anything

 

[Modo]

"Skibi's TD style" TD. We can use all of our ideas at once.

 

[bbfreak]

a TD RPG would be really cool, like it saves your exp or something so you can get better towers and higher lvls

 

[Craka_J]

Team Names:

• Prodigy Productions
• Brimstone Entertainment
• Climax Studios
• Digizone

Meh.

I'm up for a TD.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Excellent idea, I support that.

 

[THE_END]

Prodigy Productions sounds siiick
I say that one

 

[frostwhisper]

I double that. The coolness of that name can almost match Vast Graphics's...

 

[Modo]

IMO, it sounds like we are Prodgidy Productions and our first map is a TD in the style of Skibi's TD.

ragingspeedhorn, give the word and I shall start right away.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Skibis TD is boring, I would not want to make some copy of that.

Prodigy Productions sounds fine to me, even though it is taken from the actuall band name then it sounds fine.

 

[Gausslander]

NAMES:

-Stinger Productions

-Shadow of the Apocalypse

-Everlasting Entertainment

-Virtual Gloom

-C. (Colossus) Eye Studios

-Shy Guy Studios (Start over again?)

-Hope

And I'm not doing a TD. It has to be something original. And we don't need a simple map to get our name out there. If we have all of these willing mappers who really want to make something spectacular (like Project Revolution) then why the hell shouldn't we? That'd get our name out to. Or something like Heart of the Storms, something cool, a real achievement. Think of the team as a team of cooks, why make junk food when we can make a timeless masterpiece?

 

[Modo]

Lets make a TO, tower offense. We have to send Hordes of creeps past towers that get harder on every level. For every creep we get past, we get gold and Spirit points(replaces lumber)

Decent critters need some Spirit Points to summon as well as gold and you have to get to level 40 (or whatever) to pass.

 

[Eleandor]

Then It'd be better to have a mix of both, having 1 team to assault a base (within 30 minutes) and the other one defending it.

The Attackers could have multiple techtrees, having fast but vulnerable units or slow tankers. A 3rd branch could actually be offensive, having its own attack against towers.
The Defenders could both have a wide range of towers and perhaps a Unit branch that allows you to perhaps start a counter-offensive. Obviously, the attacker's units should be much stronger.

Just another suggestion ofcourse.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Good suggestion Eleandor, I agree with most of your points.

 

[Sacrimo]

For the TD idea, we start at a city, we are lvl 1, we only have starting abilitys like, poison tower, ice tower, siege tower, etc.

Then when we go to a arena or something the abilitys open up and we can build to stop enemys from passing. 3+ needed in arena or something

Towers can be upgraded when you level, for example, ice lvl 1 turns ice lvl 2 when you level up and put a point into that ability.

When you are a high enough level you go into the wilderness or something and kill baddies without towers for quick exp.

For the complicated complaints, we are a team, we have many people, we want to make a map that is complicated. If we make a old school TD what did we accomplish? Anyone can make a TD, now if we upgrade it to my idea, it will destroy all the other TDs if we work hard on it.

This is just a suggestion, but it would be a pretty decent map.

 

[HINDYhat]

I think TD's are lame... we should INNOVATE, not make a friggin' TD, however original it is, the concept of a TD is overused...

I want a challenge, not some microwaved leftover shiz that will 'put us on the map'. We have all of the talent to create something completely new, why not exploit that?

 

[Eleandor]

I count 16 team members. If we're making a large map, each one of them could be useful. However, as we should perhaps start small, I think it's hard to come up with an idea everybody in the team likes. For instance, some people already said they do not like TD's. It's not at all my favourite either, but I can live with it. Perhaps, considering the fact it's a large team, if we're starting small, we should have 2 separate projects? I know it'll be hard, especially because we haven't accomplished anything, but as things look like now, it's going to take a while before everyone agrees on a concept.

HINDYhat, while I agree you think TD's are lame, do you have any innovative idea? Anyone else? I have given some, including the space themed idea, the TD variant (I don't fully consider that idea TD as it has different mechanics), and ofcourse the Altered Melee concept (although that idea is not new, I haven't seen a good (original - unless you call 10 different Naga races original) implementation of it in a warcraft 3 map). I mainly agree with you on the point that our maps should be innovative.

I feel that it's time to start selecting some ideas, and pick 1 or 2 of them and choose which one you want to work on...

 

[Kwaliti]

WRESTLING! (joke)

Party map! Something connected to the snow, since it's winter.

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

News:

Our name is Prodigy Productions now!(I don't like the band though)

I think we should start with a space themed map were you have to battle with your spacecrafts to win the enemy.Something like this.Or make it a Hero Defense.

 

[Modo]

Please, no space themed maps. If you want a space them, wait for SCII. You could battle with Zeppelins or Boats. Hero Defenses... I don't know if I have ever played one. I don't think we should make one though.

So, are we going to WarCraft III a map or are we going to go with a WarCraft III style? Do you want me to come up with a new genre? I will if I have to but it will take a bit of focussed thought.

low_kwaliti, if you think it is winter, come to Australia. It is summer. We are already getting 34*degrees*C (I dont know what that is in farenheight, but it is a lot. I think it is about 100 but I have no idea)

 

[THE_END]

Yea honestly, if we do a space themed map, I will be extremely pissed
...but will still make skins...

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Make our own campaign, go!

We can just make it a small campaign if people are so focused on starting small

 

[Sacrimo]

Very true, I agree with raging, we should start small then get bigger and bigger.

 

[Bob27]

Ok, a small campaign sounds nice to me. I think we should do one of those RPG campaigns, because we should be able to keep it small, and they are usually the funnest campaigns.

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

So,let's start a campaign!Let's wait for one of our story writers to make a story!

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

We should not just have them "write a story", we should first decide on the premise of it, so they know what to aim for and so on.

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Yay,very true.So,what's the story.Maybe a little boy born poor in a village that saves the mankind?

EDIT:I can't edit the poll.Doh

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

That sounds like a really poor idea

I am more thinking like something that interacts with the Warcraft storyline.

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Can you add a paragraph or what you think of?

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Alternate events happening at the same time of the Wc3 campaigns and the characters then come across the same areas and events at some points as what the Wc3 characters did. As a randome example: You are a bunch of soldiers that randomly finds out something important and you need to deliver the info to arthas and so you embark on a quest to find him and deliver the info etc. etc.

 

[Kwaliti]

Hmm, you might as well try and do campaigns by novels, such as Cycle of Hatred, Of Blood and Honor, The Last Guardian...

 

[frostwhisper]

Just give me a theme, and I'll set up the lore

EDIT: Hold on! I got it... War of the Ancients. It's hip, it's now, it's awesome and no one has done it before. And the wc3 universe needs a good campaign about that war.

 

[Sacrimo]

Sounds to much like dota >.<

I think the hole lore starts when Arthas is Lich King. You are on a journey to reach Arthas and kill him for killing your friends and family from Strat village(the first village from the human campaign)

We go on and on, following Arthas's foot steps until we reach Icecrown. But since this is going to be a short campaign, we start at the village, head north, run into hordies, kill them, set up a camp for a horde attack. Then we head to the undead area where they are repairing Thrall's ships that landed in Kalimdor. You kill those undead, steal the ships and go on...then there should be a level where you are on your ship sailing around islands.

Then we go on to Northrend, meet the country, go into Icecrown, go through the traps, then we fight Arthas.

I don't know how short this campaign will be, but this is a good idea for the campaign.

 

[frostwhisper]

Sounds to much like dota >.<

Erm.. what?
The war of the ancients was an actual war in the wc universe. It has nothing to do with Defense of the Ancients (DoTA).

 

[THE_END]

Hmm...
How bout
Rogue Death Knight
Start off in Icecrown Glacier, you've just realized everything you have done and decide to escape. Lich King senses this, you run, he sends mad guys after you. You land somewhere, either Kalimdor, Eastern Kingdoms, Maelstrom..something
You ally yourself with a bunch of rebels consisting of all differant races. Travel the world trying to find atrifacts trying to beat the Lich King, while his assassins are pursuing you, etc. You fight the Lich King...but die
Tragic ending

[Nudl9]

I could be the sidekick supporting u guys with ideas, as its to many terrainers now and im kinda busy with own projects.

ragingspeedhorn --- Awesome All-around guy

Lol, usual raging ^^

Yay!Usual raging!

 

[THE_END]

So that Death Knight idea sound good?

 

[Modo]

I would rather go with a Death Squire, who is generally quite average i.e. Not exceptional at anything, not a chosen one, not really gifted. He is chosen by the Great Dragon Spirit to perform a quest to bring back the Death Knight because he is the squire of the Death Knight and he is pretty much expendable.

I don't really like the idea of another Undead campaign. So many people do them. I will write story, make icons as best I can and give many ideas if we do this though.

Please at least consider my idea. A Death Squire... it is unique, and we all want to do something different don't we?

 

[frostwhisper]

It's not bad, but we need to think of the details for the story.
Like add some twists and turns at some points.

 

[monchopim]

im very good for ideas and AoS only T_T, if i can help...

 

[Modo]

The Squire starts in a training camp, 8 days from the last know location of the Lich King. He has dreams of the ancient dragon, but assumes he has been reading too much lore.

One night, he wakes up and leaves his tent. In the distance, he sees a pyre of fire. Against his better judgement, he goes out to investigate. It turns out it was a Inquisition ambush. They take him to their base camp and start interrogation with psyckers. It is at this time a commotion is heard outside. The door blasts in and a ghostly dragon is there. It saves him and takes him to a generic pond. It is here that he is told of his master's plight and gets the quest to save him.

On is journey, he has to fight many foes ad overcome many challenges.

He has to be careful. If he is too reckless in his acts, the Inquisition will come and kill him with a mass of Paladins. If he is too pious, the dragon will disown him and he will lose his place in the world. (incorporate a good/evil indicator.)

I think it should either end with the destruction of the dragon, saving of the Death Knight or both. I have an idea for a really good ending, but I don't want it to be open to the public.

Twist and Turns: Depends on the script. Is the character ruthless, misguided, good at heart?

What race is the character? Human, Orc, Penguin, etc.?

The twists and turns also depend on the ending.
