SC2 - Shooter - In Progress

[Anachron]

Hey guys, I've started a full featured Egoshooter for SC II.
So far the movement (for all players) works.

Next steps are

• Attack Engine
• Finishing the first map

It'll be amazing.

Some features

• AutoTarget mode
• Bots
• 3D world and engine

Any ideas?

Wow thats awesome *.*

 

[Anachron]

I'll just remove the UI.
Add some custom menus.
Finish the shoot engine.

People seems to like the FPS map genre in SC2 Gotta be great

 

[LordDz]

Will there only be auto target or will there be actual aiming with the mouse in it?

 

[Anachron]

Aiming with mouse of course.

Some features

3D world and engine

I should hope so D:

People like shooters in sc2, because mouse movement and WASD are now fully supported, so such maps can be done, people want to see how it turns out.
sadly I fear it'll be one of those clone-prone genre's on sc2.

Let's hope this one's unique and stands out from the crowd, best of luck

I'd go for the "basics" first. That is, the different classic game modes of most shooters, like team-deathmatch, capture the flag and so on.

The second thing I'd focus on would be the "combat system". I'd either go for a system that's focusing on the players' choice of weapons (similar to Call of Duty) or a system focusing on the players' picked classes (similar to Battlefield; or to name a more interesting example in terms of classes Aliens vs. Predator 2 <- that's not the new one, it's from around 2001 and is a lot better).
Or you can go for some completely new system which might turn out a lot better than the standard versions.

From then on it's a matter of feedback. I'd try around adding some more unique elements (such as an objective bases game mode where one team spawns via parachutes etc.) and look how the players like it.

I wish you best of luck with this project and am eager to play the map

Looks interesting.
Juding by those screenshots, you might want to zoom the camera in a bit. That's kind of far, even for third-person.

3D world and engine, what the? really!? no more sprites? omg!

 

[Slaydon]

Wow, this looks epic, but explain 3d world =)

 

[Anachron]

Another screenshot arrived.

About the 3d world:
Jump, walk above roofs, climb ladders or such.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

It might be worth putting the graphics on ultra (just for the screen shots) if your computer can handle it.

 

[Hero_Lief]

I have a question. Will you make the moving system available for others to use? I'd love to use it in my map, Installation Infestation (A four floor installation third person shooter).

 

[Anachron]

It will be open-source but I really want others to give credits when you use my engines.

 

[Hero_Lief]

I always give credits, and my StarCraft II maps won't be an exception. ^_^

 

[Anachron]

Fine, I'll just finish the attack system then I'll release the first demo.

 

[Hero_Lief]

That'd be awesome.
Don't think I'm trying to rush you with this 'cause I want the thing, lol. I can't even USE the editor well until I get Windows reinstalled.

 

[Anachron]

Lol, I have 20% of the movement engine, 1% of the shooting engine and about 10% of the first map^^

 

[Rispetto]

OH MY GOD
You have TREES in your map!
I'm sorry this is a little random but all I can seem to find is foliage!! How do you add trees? Jesus that would improve my maps so much (LOL)
Send me a PM or just respond here <.< I'll check back.
+Rep if you tellz me? =D

 

[Anachron]

Thanks, glad you like it.

 

[Slaydon]

This is awesome =), Maybe if you got time later u can help me MUI my map if i would need any help, but this is so awesome
