Thanks :3

Thanks I was annoyed it didn't work

 

[-Kobas-]

Game looks cool and funny, maybe you can add more areas and improve terrain a little, this green is killing my eyes

 

[H4MM3R_T1M3]

Yeah... the terrain totally blows but since the terrain changes all the time maybe i should do like you said, different areas and random them instead? ^^ but im going to sleep now, will answer anything when i get back from school tomorrow :3

 

[Cweener]

Yes, this has definitely improved, congrats, it still feels like it's missing something...add more tile variations, don't get lazy there.
Maybe add hills and stuff to the generator as well.

Do those two simple things, and I can approve this.

 

[x3GlikE]

Yeah good work on improving your map give you full report on it soon !

 

[Crave.]

Wayyy better than that other version. Try finding a suitable minimap image for it too. It attracts pplz

 

[Darkzealot_128]

Well improved as said before.

 

[H4MM3R_T1M3]

I have just made 2 arenas with improved terrain. Though I'm not really a great terrainer so... Tell me if you want it up or wait for me to finish all 12.

Also added a drop item system, and a system so that you cannot buy 2 of one item, since it gives only one next round.

EDIT: I decided to put the map up now before I go to bed so I have some CC to read when I get home tomorrow :3
One "Hell" looking arena, One raided by undead arena (Not really done yet.) and one barrens area. Gnight

 

[-Kobas-]

I used to post this in hidden tag in my reviews, maybe it can help you a little!

Various Terraining Tips! [17 Sep 2009 21:59]Revolve

Well I attached links to few tut here on THW and to their Authors!
Some are easy some are for advanced users!

Some have little to do with terrain some much more!
Pls at least scroll down each one just to check pictures!

If you really want to learn how to terrain, check also other sites like
http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/
http://www.wc3c.net/
and others...

open maps, check terrain contest etc etc, check terrain board and people showcases, explore user albums, search Hive... You can always ask some user for help, join to Chat room sometimes (http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/apps.php?p=gochat)

2 Much work to do right...

 

[Cweener]

So have you added height deformations and tile variations yet?
(don't want to download if they haven't been added)

EDIT: Well, I went and checked it out anyways and wow.
The terrain is much worse now.
Use the generator still just add height, doodads, and that stuff to it.
It's not hard.
If you want to do it manually then get better at terraining.

 

[H4MM3R_T1M3]

Well yeah, I figured you would say that. I'm currently trying to absorb as much information as possible from the threads that -Kobas- posted.

 

[Cweener]

Alrighty.
Just PM/VM whenever you think you've finished.

 

[H4MM3R_T1M3]

A terrainer

It would be great if I could find a terrainer for this map though... As it will probably take some time to learn acceptable terrain

 

[Crave.]

I could help, but ONLY if my minimum wage is $0/h. Deal?

Oh and include a changelog too.

 

[H4MM3R_T1M3]

Well, by 0$/h you mean free I hope :3 Because I'm only 13.

I'm gonna add that changelog right now.

EDIT: Download the map again since I redid some terrain parts, (btw, check the START trigger to see which arenas tile type changes in-game, (arena 7 and 1)

 

[Crave.]

Of course I mean free!
And since the quality of this map is quite low (no offence), I doubt anyone would want to steal it and thus its not protected rite?

EDIT:
Tested a few minutes ago. Unfortunately the game doesnt end if you are playing alone with a computer grunt. Cant try being the grunt, no one wants to play.

 

[oldmilk]

Your avatar seems to be suitable for the map's preview image.

 

[H4MM3R_T1M3]

@oldmilk: actually I'm going to use my avatar for the preview picture, though I can't get it to work properly. Though I hope that Crave. won't have a problem helping me with that.

@Crave.: I could fix so that you can play singleplayer as soon as get on the computer.

Scary Grunt v0.04c Review

Scary Grunt v0.04c is a mini-game, in which you control a weak unit that is being chased by a unit that kills you with one hit. The goal is to avoid getting killed by getting others like you get killed first.

The terrain is bad, but isn't horrid. The variety of templates helps the game a lot, although some of them are quite plain. If you could get someone to terrain it, it would be quite good.

The peasants could have more abilities, and you could set the idle icon to the peasant, not the peon one. Also, while in game menu, the grunt spot is free. Shouldn't it be occupied by a computer?

The map also lacks in originality, but which one doesn't. We have seen pretty much everything that could be seen. This isn't anything new.

The map surprised me a bit. I expected a very bad map, and I just got a bad map. Needs huge terrain improvements, more options then just setting lives, add game modes. Because if you can't be original, you must have a variety of gameplay options. So please, work more on this, this is still a 1/5 but could easily get a 2/5 in near future.

Defend Your Castle?

uhm... Where the heck did you get the name Defend Your Castle from? EDIT: goodie goodie

Well as far as the terrain goes, Crave. is currently my terrainer so I am not gonna do anything until he have fixed the terrain. But I will surely add more game modes, like Team mode and ZOMFG mode (All spells from the start, and maybe no cooldowns. Random events perhaps.). And after that I will take as many ideas as possible.

 

[bounty hunter2]

Oh God I was reviewing a couple of maps at the same time so it got mixed up. Fixed.

 

[Cweener]

Just to make sure nobody downloads this, I'll needs fix it.
(once you update it with a new version, it will be pending again)
