Saas and Enulaya: World of Warcraft Begins

[frostwhisper]

A troll, a tauren, and a wolf. All of them share one characteristic: they are soldiers in the newly recruited army of the Horde and are ready to take on the invading Alliance. The time? 3 years after Archimonde was gang raped by a buch o' whisps. The place? All around the world of Azeroth (terrained to look like it does in WoW)... These are the essentials of a campaign I'm doing solo for the past month. I intend to make this a long story filled with humor, tragedy and pure action. The production will probably halt during the school year, yet the long map one is already finished. Here are some screenshots of the environment as well as a couple of lame posters I did out of boredom.

Screenshots are as follows:
- A landscapy look over Mulgore
- Stranglethorn Vale and all its World-Tree-Sized trees
- Thunder Bluff (without the forth rise)
- Again Thunder Bluff from another angle
- Bloodhoof Village (yer starting position)
- A poster featuring the shaman Enulaya (one of the protagonists)
- A poster featuring the hunter Saas (the other protagonist)

Yay. Nice terraining. And I like the plot. I hope no undead involved- blight and their base looks so ugly, I prefer Human vs Orcs conflicts

 

[frostwhisper]

Well there will be Forsaken, since they have a large role in the events leading to WoW, but lets just say Sylvanas hates blight, and her buildings are too custom to have it

 

[Pandizzle]

that looks really good, i'm just wondering where u got those trees or if u made them urself.

 

[frostwhisper]

The Everwood trees (Mulgore): got them from wc3 campaigns, they are made by Chriz.
The Palm trees (Stragletorn): exported them form the ultimate terraining map, I don't remember who the creator is but I will be sure to find out when I make the credits section.

 

[Andriejj]

Ok. Now just one request- make at least one mission similiar to Rexxar's campaign- it's so well made, I loved this Blizzard-RPG. So a big map, many side quests, NPCs, etc...

 

[frostwhisper]

Aaah, I can't quite make those multy-map missions yet, but they are sure to have lots of quests in them ^^

 

[Hawkwing]

I love your Mulgore and Thunder Bluff.

 

[Gilles]

You need a fog in every picture. And blizzard cliffs are ugly, don't use them if you can help it. Not much like WoW, but still looks nice.

Oh and there is a doodad pack here or on WC3Campaigns that has all the WoW tauren building models.

 

[Andriejj]

No fog in 5th one needed imo

And this campaign seems to have a colourful style, making fogs, lights, dirt and so on would make it more serious, or dull, if you ask me. It would change the character.

 

[frostwhisper]

The map is done. I don't think I will add much changes to the terrain. As for the Blizz cliffs, I needed them to make the thing playable, but from the in-game perspective you don't notice their utter ugliness...

 

[Feanor_]

Looks really nice. When do you plan to finish it?

 

[frostwhisper]

Its far from finished I'm afraid. Thus far, only the first map is done, and there will be many. Plus, I have a lot of homework -.-"

 

[monchopim]

Answer

really this map have future (though), keep the work up, and i think this would be one of the best campaigns...

 

[frostwhisper]

For information on the campaign's progress check out the SaE:WoWB thread.

 

[WerBackIII]

OBI4AM GI!

One question: why saas is a dragon?

 

[frostwhisper]

Saas is the tauren hunting the dragon... Yeah the poster sucks, what can I say...

 

[Hawkwing]

I love your campaign it looks really cool. Saas and Enulaya look really cool and I think that when this is done it will be great!!!

 

[frostwhisper]

Thanks for your feedback. It is kind of arduous to make a good quality campaign all by myself, but thats the thrill in it.

(Map 2 is coming reeeeealy slowly...)

 

[WerBackIII]

Man, some things to say:

-The Kodo Crap after Saas is too big
-Change th models for the Tauren Mages
-The Pocket is too hard to find
-I waited for a hawk 15 minutes!!!
-Saas and Mli died in the cinematics while fighting with the infernal. It's not good.
-Maghata Grimtotem is alive


After all, a great campaign!!!

 

[frostwhisper]

You seriously should have posted that in the map development thread of the campaign. This is only about the pretty stuff I used/made in the campaign itself.

Otherwise:
- Kofti model (its a bad model and will be fixed).
- That model is the most appropriate model for a tauren "mage" I could find (I'm open to specific suggestions).
- Thats the thrill of the game
- There are two hawks, and they fly swiftly enough, so I guess you were just in the wrong section of the map at the wrong time...
- This is an issue I am working on.
- She has reincarnation...

 

[kebabmeat]

Really nice terrain you got there, yo!

 

[frostwhisper]

Why thank ye, fine sir

 

[Gilles]

I kind of want to play this, but you only have a single map released right? Hope you get more done soon! Also I hope you added fog!

 

[frostwhisper]

I released the first map as a beta in the map development forum. You're welcome to check it out.

 

[~Void~]

My god that tauren model's head is low. :\

 

[frostwhisper]

Oh dear... thought this thread died months ago. "

 

[NinjaDino]

well at least good terrain, as i can read there are alot of glitches
and some models suck or what???

 

[frostwhisper]

...what ?

 

[NinjaDino]

Man, some things to say:

-The Kodo Crap after Saas is too big
-Change th models for the Tauren Mages
-The Pocket is too hard to find
-I waited for a hawk 15 minutes!!!
-Saas and Mli died in the cinematics while fighting with the infernal. It's not good.
-Maghata Grimtotem is alive

you see????and only post 'what' is spam

 

[frostwhisper]

It's my thread, so whatever.
The project is on hold anyway (probably dead so meh...)

 

[NinjaDino]

OMG dead?!?! i think that pics look nice
anyway campaings are rare

 

[frostwhisper]

Yeah well, they are also tedious to make when working alone.
But thanks anyway.

 

[NinjaDino]

well its good project, im thinking to build one about dwarfs
and you got that right, its your thread
Edit 1
yeah its boring to make them alone, ive made three campaings about wolf but i use easy triggers and more cinematic then actual game
so i delete them

 

[frostwhisper]

Yeah, you might wanna merge those two posts and refrain from double posting.

 

[~Void~]

Those everwood trees are really odd. If you put one in a fogged area, the fog has no effect, so basically it's a SFX but shaped like a tree... 0.o

 

[frostwhisper]

Yeah, I've noticed.
It's a real pain having to use them in a fogged area...

 

[annoying]

Looks really nice. REALLY nice. Wish I could do something like that...

 

[Dr. Sniz]

like it, spicel the one before last

 

[Draelren]

A few critiques, in the introduction cinematic, if it won't be vocal - make sure that you have an editor go through and proofread what you have written. Make sure it's someone who won't ever let you use the word "newbie" when it comes to refering to a character.

If this is an RPG styled map, where would a tauren have come up with the word "newbie", it draws away from the plot, and would actually be counter-productive if you wanted the people to believe you were a tauren.

Also, the very beginning - it stretches out just a bit too long in my opinion. Could be boring to some people, not everyone will spend hours just looking at your terrain and go "OMFG THAT'S SO COOL!" - they will want to get into the gameplay.

That's all I got so far, pretty good.

 

[alonso]

i found a bug in the cinematic of the tauren mages... the cinematic repeats even if i have the quest item

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Woot for necroooooooo!

Wtf is with the terrain? Ye I know this is old, but still!!!!
