Sanity's Edge Campaign

[The World Is Flat]

Hola, back, hi Aes, good to see ya' and yes you are in, but I'm not updating the main page until i have more to update.

 

[SpankyDmonkey]

ZOMG... YOUR BACK! How come no one told me!! Also, I think the masteries deal is a great idea. Because, our hero is already a badass warrior, he should know atleast most of the awesome battle skills. Also, flat you know of the way the weapons revolve around the skills right? Like how most damaging/fighting skills can have different effects depending on the weapon the hero is holding. Did I tell you this already?

 

[The World Is Flat]

yezzz i read it.

 

[Vosty]

Time for concept mapping!!!!
Okay, so I need to make moves.
This map includes 4 tiers, and how you can move about them.
Only include the move and element information on this chart. If you want to include damage information. Do it off-chart. Notice that most or all of the moves will include a base damage + multipliers (Stat and Mastery based) damage system. Effects also willl benefit from that system.

Please try to use the concept map. It looks nice, and it clears up a lot of things.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Well lets get craaackin'

 

[Vosty]

One thing about the map is wrong (That tier 2 elemental is not connected to tier 3 elemental.) But it should be okay.
Also, try to make the elements like opposites, or sisters. It make it more interesting that random elements.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Is the map still on?

 

[Vosty]

Currently, I don't think so. I haven't seen any of the members on hive (except Asomath and Leet.Firefox) for a long time.

 

[The World Is Flat]

That ssucks, i'm moving to SC2 when it comes out, but do you want to work on a small project with me? i have some ideas...

 

[Asomath]

It would be a bad idea for a smaller project. It would be sad to see the voiceover work already done go to waste

~Asomath

 

[lightning brigade]

Ooh add my boss edwin arwin(rogue cop turned hero back from the grave) I posted him on the thread. Yes, it's probably too simple to use in a high end campaign map. Therefore I suggest you adapt his abilities and make them a little more...you know...JASSey

 

[The World Is Flat]

Hahaha, well we will see, maybe this will get finished after all, but we need to at least gets some proof-of-concept maps up before we write any more sweet bosses.

 

[Vosty]

If we make a smaller map, it should still have something to do with bosses.

 

[GnoobSauce]

This looks very cool! Amazingly unique boss fights, btw. This campaign should be win.

Hopefully.

SANITY'S EDGE UPDATE -

Alright, I am going to make a terrain, its going to have a village near the middle, built around a crossroads, then there will be a lake, a stream, a fair sized river, a canyon, several creep camps and another small village. I don't know what it will be for, but it is for Sanity's Edge, this campaign will not die! Vosty, would you take the map when I have finished it, and do somthing with it? Hopefully we can get some other people to work on it. In a day or two, I am going to take everyone off the team and all who want to rejoin, can.

Thanks,
TWIF

Hopefully we can get to work again.

And Asomath? I need those sounds again, I lost them when my computer crashed.

 

[noob134]

Why dont you guys release they campaign 3 or 4 chapters at a time so you can get feedback on the project and fix bugs and work on new chapters as well?

 

[The World Is Flat]

That is our eventual goal, but each different chapter will require an immense amout of work, right now, it will be easier to get a test map up and then try and build up to one of the chapters.

 

[Asomath]

How about we just release Chapter 1 as both the first chapter and as a Demo chapter. I could start code experimenting for the bandit lord?

~Asomath

 

[The World Is Flat]

Ok, but let me do the map Terrain first okay? Can you cut 'n' paste code? I'll try to be quick.

 

[Asomath]

Yes, yes I can. And that is why it is "experimenting" and not "implementing"


~Asomath

 

[Vosty]

Of course. Mu time on the internet is limited, but my time on my Warcraft computer is unlimited, so I can do anything you watn me too with the map.
I'm glad I didn't write all those small systems for nothing.
I got the cinematic map still, and I can finish it, but it might take some time.
It would be nice if you got chapter 1 (The one with the bandit) up for terrain.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Ok, I'm starting to do the terrain now, hopefully in a day or two i will be done!

 

[The World Is Flat]

UPDATE -

Map |||||||||| (75%) Completed

Anything that is need on the map? Anyone?

 

[DudeSpirit]

How long will it take to complete the map? I noticed you have one slot open for Terraining.
I would first have to finish my current terraining project; Glory of War though.

Is it too late to ask? And how's the terrain looking anyway? Shots?

 

[The World Is Flat]

Yes i do have a slot open, if you'd like to join... gtg..

 

[The World Is Flat]

Alright, Back.
DudeSpirit: I am almost done with the terrain, by tonight or early tomarrow for the first one. yes we do have a position for terrainer open, if you would like to join...

 

[DudeSpirit]

Ok, but if the terrain is pretty much done soon, what would be the point? And i would like to see some shots then

 

[The World Is Flat]

Well, we have to do 13 maps I am doing 1 :/ so your help would be appreciated, and I will send screen shots, but only when I get my computer back. (sister).

 

[DudeSpirit]

Ohh, then sure, i'll join, but as i said, I've got to finish my current project first.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Alright, no big deal, i'll add you to the list... tomarrow i'm purging the people list...

 

[Vosty]

Can you reserve an area for me to create the move selection place?
It is for the start of the level. It doesn't have to big, or even be accessable*.
I'm gonna pick up my cinematic map, I just got to get a few more skins/models.
*It would be good if in some random area.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Alright, done in a few min....

 

[The World Is Flat]

http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/pastebin.php?id=nkxrd2 Here it is, first version, what needs changing?

 

[Vosty]

Let's check this out.....

 

[Vosty]

Ok, my review...

Very nice. There is lots of variety to the landscape, making it seem more interesting. You left plent of paths open, so we can set up many things in the map.

Is the village in the middle the one form the cinematic, or some other village? Yours looks much nicer and it much bigger, however it looks much different than mine (In the screens mine has lots of houses and a large castle.)

I'll give you a better cathedral texture. That gray one always looks shabby. I got a nice white one for you.

I could say there is several places in which you could host the bandit boss fight. We're gonna have to figure out which one we will use, and how we can make it required so you beat the level.
I see how you set up the ogre's lair. As long as we put some kind of barrier so they can't see the rest of the map while inside the cave, we are ok.
We also need a small part with a bunch or ruins where the mage's (I forget his name) tower was before it was destroyed. The trees should be sorta incinerated around the area.

Very lush, and even though it is relatively flat in some area, it is not an area the player will be looking at for the most part.
=D

 

[The World Is Flat]

if you want to do the cinimatic, shure, but this is just for the first level, you should take it and make whateve modifications you want to it

 

[The World Is Flat]

UPDATE -

Positions Purge has Been enacted and Main Page has been updated.

 

[Fussiler1]

Why am I removed from the credits? D:.

 

[The World Is Flat]

I Did a purge, all non-active people have been purged from the list, your credits are still there, what positions do you want?

 

[Vosty]

So, I'm workin on some spels and stuff.
Spells: 1/20
Selection systems: .3/1
chapter detail triggers: 0/???

So you see I'm not far. I started the selection system, and made a spell called Deep Cut. It also has two elemental paths with the normal one called Vampiric Cut and Cold cut.
It is a DoT melee attack, with the cold one adding slows, the dark one adding life steal, and the normal one just doing more damage.

 

[The World Is Flat]

ok, our hero isn't a good guy, he is more of lesser of two evils right? so try this:

Hellblast: (our hero) pulls the chaos of his spirit into one devestating blow, knocking back and stunning advisaries. (in a cone in front of him) it has the elemental paths Glacialblast (Slows for a long period of time, but less damage)
Normal Hellblast
Infernoblast (adds DoT and higher damage, but no stun and less knockback.)

 

[Fussiler1]

Hellblast?

Not Angus?
By the way, I'm inactive because I don't have anything to edit anymore.

 

[Vosty]

I also thought our hero's name was Angus, and that is what I called him in the map.

I'll try taht spell. I'm trying to keep five categories where you get one of each:
Defensive
Offensive
Passive
Ranged
Misc. (Like summons and stuff)


Yeah, its been awhile since I've had to do any story.

Btw, when I get to triggering the bandit boss, I was wondering if Asomath would like to do that part instead. I just gotta finish the rest first.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Sounds good to me, you can let him know. hopefully the first chapter will be nice.

Anyway i think we should have a short (or long) Cinimatic between each chapter, to keep the storyline flowing. and that way Fussiler1 will have somthing to do.

PS. His Name is: Angus Battleharrow

 

[Rowboat]

This sounds interresting. If you could provide some pictures of the gameplay or atleast a picture of terrain, and some information about how the progress is, then i would like to join as a Storywriter (if thats the correct spot) or Boss Editor.

I am average in anything (Terrain, GUI or lets just say map making).
Also i have some ideas for a interresting boss fight.

 

[The World Is Flat]

You could be a brainstormer, and as far as pics and progress, ask vosty

 

[Rowboat]

Brainstormer huh... well ok. Just tell me what to brainstorm about.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Anything really, bosses, abilities, items, story etc.

 

[Vosty]

I have some pics earlier in this thread for the opening cinematic. I didn't finish that yet because I'm current;y trying to get chapter 1 working. So far I still only got one spell done. I'm adding more elements to it though. I didn't get too much time this week, so bear with me. I got a empty weekend on the rise.

 

[zolga]

nice map and bosses really are epic
i could brainstorm a bit if needed
just pm me
