Suggestion for presenting a Rpg/oRpg/Adventure:

Create a slide show of subtitled pictures that show you travelling through the first steps of the game, demonstrating the gameplay, main line, hinting side features only where it is fitting, making your path up to the first boss to finalize in epicness and hooking the player how it continues. As an ending, you can still flash through various additional contents that enhance the scope.

Throwing random systems that one cannot know what they are and how they fit into the game does not help and were stated a thousand times before in other rpg threads. Although this is an epic-styled genre, you tell nothing of the world, why there are heroes, which/why there are enemies, what is the plot, only the standard gameplay mechanics are implied.

edit: My bad, not seen that the story presentation is under development.

The terrain looks amazing. But I think you should expand a bit on your classes. Give them some of your own flare.

So.. I know people will hit me for this, but I want to know this so that I know whether or not I'll want to play this map ^)^. What save/load system will you guys be using? I hate long codes, so I don't end up playing maps with codes bigger than they have to be since they end up irritating me ; p.


Otherwise the terrain looks pretty ok and the map appears to have a lot of features =). The rooms in second last screenshot should probably be reworked a bit and some of the stuff in the last screenshot should probably be reworked. Like, on the hill, what's up with the random dead person with a spear through them as well as all of the poles. That just doesn't seem to fit in with the scene at all. The random corpse doesn't seem to fit in either. It looks more like a bandit type hideout given the supplies (like bandits in an abandoned mine). Also, don't you think you might have gone just a little overboard with the crystal?

In screenshot 2, you have 3 styles of buildings. The stone and wood style seem ok, but the brick style seems out of place. Also, I think that you should emphasize wooden stadium seats for the gladiator arena, otherwise it'll seem off with the wooden theater. Ancient cultures used stone seats in its various major structures whereas later civilizations had wooden seats. The civilization you are portraying doesn't look ancient, and this fact is further accentuated by the wooden theater ; ).

The left side of your desert screenshot also looks very bare. In screenshot 3, the way you used arches makes the terrain look contrived rather than natural.

I'm a pretty harsh critic :\

Also, what is Mark of heroism?

huh... the desert isn't finished yet, the mines are full of kobolds that are mining the gold and the crystals and killing any human that want to pass.
In the city, there are only 2 types of buildings - stone and wooden. the wooden arena is the PvP arena, where you can challenge your teammate to a duel, and the biggest stone arena is dungeon,
about the castle, this is the second dungeon (the room full of bones) and is a castle of darkness and satan. And no units are placed anywhere and not everywhere the terrain is finished.
well, dont be so quick to give critique for the terrain...

Also, marks of heroism are emblems that are hardly relicived from the most hardest dungeons and challenegs in beta (they take the place of lumber) With them you can buy epic and unique armors and weapons.

So concerning my first question

What save/load system? : P


How long will the code sizes be D:


Will it be like FF Epic RPG with massive codes? Or like 20 chars or what? : )



And yea, I know I was pretty critical of terrain etc ;p. What really just didn't seem to fit in the city was the roofs and the layout of theater and arena ;p.


also, what's up with that random dead tree in castle gate screenshot?

Actually im triggerer so Blood Raven have to answer that question... Well i dont know how long codes will be :)
But if you are lazy to write code, dont even play map, cause it requies attention and brain for bossfights

EDIT:

Wooden arena is PVP arena
Stone arena is Instance with 4 bosses, one of them is random choosen from 12 bosses.

Playing is different from writing a long tedious code that could possibly be half of its size depending on the save/load system used ;P. I like intriguing/creative boss fights, monster fights, puzzles, mini games etc. If it's mindless grinding/farming, then that's a whole other issue ;p. 0 gameplay makes for a boring/tedious game =).


And if you only know GUI then I have a feeling that you'll be using Acehart's or CodeGen D:, and at that point we can be talking about 60 char codes instead of 30 char codes /sad face.



Anyways, good luck with your map I suppose

edit

Click to expand...

That wasn't the point. I was talking about how the city looked in relation to arena/stone arena ;p


Also, it doesn't make sense to have a wooden arena and a stone arena ; ). Typically, the base of an arena is stone ;p. I just assumed that it was a theater because it was wooden ^)^.

Maybe I'm just being too critical heh. It's a wc3 map after all, can't expect the same quality as like a top RPG or MMORPG :\.

Fix your typos in last screenshot ; )


I also think for quests that you should have a bar in a multiboard at the top right of the screen that shows quest progress. It slows turns from red to green (red being 0% and green being 100%). On this multiboard, you could see bars for progress of all of your active quests.

Now on to the bandit camp terrain. It doesn't look all that bad ;o. I am sad that I don't have any super critical things to say about it : (.

So when the story coming that seams everything neatly together? And cannot believe Nestharus's advertising :crazz: Yeah, of course, the first thing when looking into a RPG is how long the save code will be, which makes up 0.25% of gametime/adds nothing to gameplay. Don't say to make it annoying uncomfortable but the choice of save system can be performed afterwards.
