Quick Note: First of all - do not fret those who are wondering what im doing about Era of Ninja having seen this post, i am still working on it, just wanted to mix it up a bit.
So what is Orks, IN SPACE?: Orks, IN SPACE is a traditional survival map where you play as a squad of marines fighting off hordes of aliens, except this time, you're Orks.
Back Story: You play as a special unit of Ork marines that have been given the mission to retrieve or destroy a super weapon recently developed by the Federation of Mankind. The marines board the Federation's space craft 01-Alpha only to find that the place is deserted, getting a bad feeling the crew decide to grab the warhead fast and get out of there. Once the warhead is returned to the space craft they are suddenly overrun by a horde of aliens and their shuttle makes an emergency escape, leaving you and your team to fight off the horde of aliens until a rescue shuttle can arrive!
It's pretty unoriginal and cliché but it serves its purpose.
Features:
-The game is for 3-9 players (you can have less but suggested atleast 3).
-The games difficulty will scale to the number of players (including those that have died, the aliens won't let up just because one of your team mates died!)
-Very difficult, this game is not ment to be completed by a random group on B.net, not that you can't get far that way. Hopefully this will entice people to play it multiple times and eventually get a team of friends to try and complete it with.
-Reload system, it uses a reload system that can be quite punishing with a reload time of 2 seconds, clips don't last long either so ammo management (and a Support class in your squad) is a must!
-Interactive, the map will be covered with doors, security cameras, robotic guards, consoles and other things you can interact with. The Mechanic can hack alot of electronic equipment and the Demolitions can even use his Haywire Bomb interactively (blow doors open).
-The Medic's basic heal is no longer an ability like other survival games, in Orks, IN SPACE, the medic heals his team mates by attacking them.
Recruting Help: The main reason I'm posting all this is because I think i could use some help! As i do have Era of Ninja aswell so don't want to do this solo, however alot of the ideas etc I have already come up with, there is ofc room for others ideas but largely it will be for people who like this idea and want to be a part of it.
Skills i need are:
-Basic Ability Editing: some abilities are triggered some are not, to save me time anyone who wants to make some simple non-triggered abilities can help
-Advanced Ability Editing: Other abilities are triggered and I could use some people with Jass/vJass knowledge to help me
-Icon Maker: Not a totally huge problem, but theres a serious lack of icons to represent some of the things i want in this game, so someone willing to do some icons would be great, it would also look really good if all the icons were in the same style.
-Ship Layout/Idea etc: Ok this is probably the most important part as I have yet to decide on all the special rooms you can visit, I have no idea how it will be layed out exactly and I'm not sure where to start. I think we first need all the ideas for what should be on the ship and then move on from there, eg Med Lab and Control Room (only things i could come up with so far).
-General Ideas: well this isnt really a job but people who are interested can fire away with ideas, got some missing skills for some characters etc, maybe some boss ideas (all bosses scripted)
Note: I do not need testers yet, when that time comes I will tell you and then you can apply for that
Skills and Class base stats:
Please leave some comments on this section, ideas for needed skills etc and ideas on balancing / different skills that would suit a role better etc
Well I hope people like this idea and want to have a go at it with me!
If you have any questions feel free to ask here or pm me!
