Seth's Model Progress by PROXY (COMPLETED)

 

[Arcisal]

God damn, these are good.

 

[APproject]

Thank you.

 

[Sverkerman]

Interesting artistic style you got going there with the egyptian terraining.

 

[APproject]

Thanks. Not really much resources designed for egypt, so I have to go with an interpretation.

 

[Chaosy]

Very nice terain you got there, would like to know more but I can't force you to tell.

If you need help with triggers in some way feel free to send a PM

 

[Striker21]

Oh my, original and superb is what suit the best with the images
Woo, guess "Pharaoh's tomb" is in the 3rd picture
Lol, hope Pharaoh_ in hive forgive me =}

 

[APproject]

If you need help with triggers in some way feel free to send a PM

Thank you, I'll keep it in mind.

Thanks.

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Pretty neat terrain, gj!

 

[sonofjay]

Neat terrain as always AP,

 

[APproject]

Thanks guys.

By Rah and the other gods of egypt, what filesize do these pictures have? :O

Thaha, they look really awesome and I like the theme, gonna have an eye on this

 

[HOooDy]

Subscribing.

 

[Tickles]

You took huge risks mixing such different things together (bright/dark colors; Moria/ruins doodads), but it turned out extremely well. I love the bright and vivid colors of the outside area. Definitely looking forward to seeing the gameplay in action

 

[PROXY]

Oh and hey, if you need some models, or maybe 1 or 2 big ones (meaning in time of work) on't worry to contact me, I will tell you if I have time!

 

[yuvixadun]

Awesome!

Thank you. Well that's only 1/3 of map terrains, currently I am moving forward to another third of map and I may try making something different, already came up with some ideas.

Awesome!

Thanks.

Really? I could really use a modeler just for one model - Seth. There are no models that would look like Seth, except for HappyCockroach's Son of Anubis and yet it is four-handed and with swords. I asked eubz about it but he seemed to refuse it as he would not reply to me anymore. Let me know if you would be interested, I have some pictures.

Edit: Quick terrain update.

Screenie

 

[Sverkerman]

DAT egyptian terrain.

Still tho, you need to add more detail. See those rocks on the ground? Duplicate them and use brown "Shore Grass" everywhere.

 

[APproject]

I'd love to add more detail, but map is rather big and I am already at 3k doodads when only 1/3 of terrain is done. And what is shore grass?

Edit: Terrain update.

Screenie

 

[Sverkerman]

APproject I really like your egyptian looking terrain.

 

[APproject]

Thank you. It means a much to me, especially to hear it from the developer of Dualism.
Map is already at progress of 1/2 or maybe even more. 8-12 hours of World Editing is really exhausting, but my goal is to finish it this month.

 

[Sverkerman]

@APproject
I'm sorry to tell you that that's not true.

I was feeling the exact same way when I was working on Dualism. The terrain seems to be a much bigger part of the project than what it actually was. What is going to take most of your time is your main systems and most of all your content.

Anyhow, I'd love to see this getting finished so I'll type something here every day to keep you motivated.

 

[ThisPOT]

This is a bomb little area, good eye candy!...

Great theme application!

 

[APproject]

Hehe, there is no need to post here by force though.

The map is actually simple, no complex systems installed, so it goes sligthly faster than in any other project I think. The most time consuming I believe will be balancing, as there will be now 18 abilities and 729 (3^6) hero ability combinations, all unique style and it gonna be pain the butt to balance these. Terrain / environment at some point is pleasure for me.

This is a bomb little area, good eye candy!...

Great theme application!

Thanks.

 

[ndh]

Beta testers *hint* *hint* *cough* *cough*

 

[APproject]

It's alright, I don't really need testers, but I may surely send the map to preview for people like ndh who took an important part in the development of map. And not only him.

Edit: Terrain Update.

[Chaosy]

the joker face! nice terain

 

[APproject]

Haha, yeah, statue seem to have a clown's face, but it is supposed to be Sobi mask. But face fit the headdress I think. Thanks.

Edit: A short preview cinematic have been uploaded. Seth's image by HappyCockroach may be replaced with PROXY's one which is currently under development. Hope you guys would like this short cinematic.

 

[Allain55X]

Wow! Another project from AP! Oh and its in TOP! Cool looking forward to this game....

 

[ndh]

Got a sneak peek at it today, it is very well done, and can't wait for the completed version

Good job APproject! I have no doubt that this will be a top map for a very long time.

 

[AL0NE]

This project looks very promising. Looking forward to play it. Since I have a little free time, I made a banner and a sig for the project. I'm sure it'll add some eye-candy to the thread. But if you think it's not suitable, it's okay. Maybe you can give me some details and I'll make it next time when I'm free. Good luck with the project.

Hey, the banner is so cool! APproject will really like it but Can I ask a question. How do you create a banner? Where did you get those font style for writing the word "SETH's REIGN" cuz it looks cool. I know this is not the time to ask cuz it has no relation with the project but pls... answer my quesion... pls...

Woah, this looks amazing, great job, I love it. I may surely use it, this banner would be a great preview image. Credits goes for you, AL0NE, and I didn't even need to make a request, thank you.

I may also update the thread with more info about the gameplay, more screenshots and perhaps I'll give a description focusing on abilities, items and quests when I'll have free time.

Thank you for all your support, guys, it means much to me.

 

[AL0NE]

I'm glad you like it. =) having difficulty finding a suitable symbol. but the horus-like symbol looks fit to me. (Not really understand the mythology, so I apologize for any mistake I said. ^^" ) Good luck with the project. Hope to see more screenies to keep me drooling.

 

[APproject]

Horus sign is perfect, as Horus will be one of the Good characters going against Seth. It can be understood like the light of Horus (The yellow bright) may banish the the shadows and chaos of Seth, so *Seth's Reign* is in shiny egyptish yellow. It is really well done.

 

[WerBackIII]

Woah, is the desert tile that you're using the one that I created? If so, I'm pretty glad it found use for SUCH a bad-ass project.

On the topic - if you need a voice actor, I am willing to try. I haven't voice-acted for games before, and I haven't voice-acted in English (that is, for an audience, though I've practised), but I'm sure I can pull it off.

I have a slight Balkan accent (Bulgarian), and I'm currently living in Scotland. I speak English quite fluently, so I guess I can be of use.

 

[APproject]

Thank you. Yes, it was your tile, great tile for the deserts.

Alright, I may ask for you to voice act only if you are not making me wait for weeks, hehe. Fresh voice with a slight accent would be great.

 

[PROXY]

Just to tell everyone, the new model for Seth goes very well, gonna post a few screenshots here (by permission of APproject lol ) when I'm further.

Oh and, AP, you have done something weird with your signature, it isn't transparent.

 

[APproject]

Of course, you can send me the pictures and I may edit first post adding the pictures. You may also post them with a post to notice visitors. I am really looking forward the new model, it gonna look epic.

Yes, it is not, it is probably because I saved picture and uploaded it into imageshack and used it from there. How to make it transpirant?

 

[AL0NE]

You can upload it somewhere to your album. =) that way u can ensure the sig won't be deleted or something like that.
and thanks for the explanation of the banner. Didn't thought it would fit so well.

 

[Illidan_Hunter]

Quite a titanic project. I am amazed by the work so far. Subscribing and wishing you the best.

 

[APproject]

Thank you, Mads.

 

[PROXY]

So, here are a few work in progress pictures. The upper part is more or less finished, now are the feet on turn

Everything red is teamcolour. Any suggestions for teamcolour?

 

[APproject]

Model looks outstanding in my opinion. It also could have slightly longer arms for more realistic look I think, what do you think, PROXY?

Updated first post with Seth's images.

Team color spots are good.

Edit: Quick terrain update.

[AL0NE]

Wow! Amazing screenie! @@ the light ray is from UTM rite? Looks familiar. But overall its very good. The models looks wonderful. Loving the terrain. Hope to see its release by the end of the month.

 

[PROXY]

Awesome screenshot indeed

Gonna check that thing with the arms when I continue on it.

 

[APproject]

Thanks. Rays are called Ceiling Rays by Tranquil. Well, project itself goes slightly slow even though I work 8-10 hours per day, I even usually forget to eat, hehe. I may finish the project by the end of this month if I am not going to the vacation to Latvia this month. If I am, more than a week goes away and it might be finished on september.

[Maestros]

cant wait to check this out! very interesting terraining indeed!

 

[APproject]

Thanks.

I was mapping and when I pushed Save File, window appeared representing saving progress bars and electricity went out, I thought it would ruin the file but luckily it was alright.

Yesturday accidently PC fell onto ground, breaking screen's plug and electricity flow plug / unite, PC went out, I was afraid it would not be all the damage and hard drive would lose all its memory because of hard crash into the ground, but luckily it was alright.

I don't know if I am lucky person or not, probably both. This one scared me.
