Solo Mini-Mapping Contest #7 - Boss Fight

[bowser499]

Terrain can be a great part of the bossfight if you make use of it.
Example here.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

It can be, but still I think 25 is too much.

 

[SA Dashie]

I find the terrain in a map to be very important no mater what kind of map, so I support keeping it at 25.

 

[HammerFist132]

Bowser499 or Pharaon can answer me this questions:

Are WoW models/icons allowed for contest?
Can I do Boss fight with 3 bosses?
Are terrain textures from WoW allowed because there is no many terrain texturs on thw?
Do we need to kill first some mobs before bosses or we start instant from bosses or we can do how we want?

 

[Aeroblyctos]

I understood that because there must be phases... There can be many bosses if they are linked together somehow.

 

[-Kobas-]

Nice, I'm in for sure

 

[Codric]

I will see if I can make a map for this.

 

[-Kobas-]

I will see can I finish terrain in today, and post some screenshots.

 

[HammerFist132]

Terrain for one Day omg I want to be fast as u are

 

[bowser499]

@HammerFist132,

[Are WoW models/icons allowed for contest?] I think that using WoW models is a bad idea but you can use WoW icons and credit Blizzard.
[Can I do Boss fight with 3 bosses?] Of course, do your best
[Are terrain textures from WoW allowed because there is no many terrain texturs on thw?] Why not? But I insist you to use default tiles.
[Do we need to kill first some mobs before bosses or we start instant from bosses or we can do how we want?] Do how you want but keep it interesting

 

[DSanhueza]

I can't wait to see mine done, the terrain is coming out pretty cool, i am about to post a little preview of it and describe what I am doin' just so nobody else copies me ahahaha !

 

[PurgeandFire]

Great theme! =) Good luck to all participants.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Okay I guess I'll need to do a decent terrain too then. I just started doing my entry and here's first picture.

EDIT: Is it possible that I could after the contest use my entry for my other projects? Is this allowed? That way I could hit two birds with one stone and gives me immense motivation boost.

 

[HammerFist132]

Omg god u are killing bird with a stone. That's sad. We are killing two Flies with one strike xD. And stop doing to well I want chance in my first project xD

 

[bowser499]

@Aeroblyctos,

Your submission may not be started/made before the official launch of the contest.

 

[shinji]

Am I allowed to join this? Or I'll just get ignored because I'm a noob?

 

[Aeroblyctos]

@Aeroblyctos,

Yea of course. I was talking about after the contest not before.

 

[shinji]

Looks like I'm just going to be ignored like now....

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Everyone is allowed to join except judges.

 

[WerePhoenix]

@shinji

Don't feel like you are alone. I'm probably worse that you.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Heyyyy.

I've been working hard today. Here are some more pictures.

Also the basic structure of the map is now done and soon it's all about making the boss itself. Terrain is just 50%.

 

[Remixer]

Can I join? If I can I will.
And this is my first contest that I join into so could some one maybe write me some information what to do and how. Like do I have to upload the map just normally and so on. It would really help me =3

 

[-Kobas-]

Hmmm I created terrain as well but I'm not satisfied

Here you go, starting location, 2 champions and Guardian.
Another one show evil Boss (Warlock)!

I will finish everything related to terrain today and start working on short into cinematic

 

[PROXY]

The problem with the terrain of yours, are mainly the tiles Kobas. I suggest using differnt

teaser

Little teaser to show you what awaits you.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Uuh, nice skeletons.

I was at the beginning going to do a skeleton battle but then I changed to a whole new level!

I reduced quality to save some space
But I have different idea right now, will see

Oh nice skeletons for sure

 

[M0rbid]

I will try to get an entry done, though I doubt that my idea can be done in this short amount of time. (university, blablabla...)

 

[mckill2009]

Ok I have an idea, my boss will have different level of strength, if played on one player, it'll be 10x stronger, if 2 then 20x stronger and so on...
Im plannig it like an arcade game as well...
Hopefully I can make a screenshot by the weekend...

but a quick question, when talking about 'phase-by-phase' style, it means like this?
PH1 - boss's speed is 50%
PH2 - boss's speed is 75%
PH3 - boss's speed is 100%

 

[HammerFist132]

PH1 - boss's speed is 50%
PH2 - boss's speed is 75%
PH3 - boss's speed is 100%

Idea about phases are something like this:
Ph1- He is fighting on 100%-70%(hp) - With some spell lets say Fire breath and Bash
Ph2- He he enter phase 2 70%-25%(hp) - With gets inraged and has spell Fire nova and higher armor.
Ph3- He he enter phase 3 25%-0%(hp) - With gets mad and has spell Dying Breath.

So main things about phases are based on His HP but they. When he get low hp he gets stronger spell, attack, armor etc. But it cannot be always like this

Now about me xD. I have written work today but for weekend I will add some my pictures, but really I do not think to I am epic like -Kobas- or Aeroblactos

 

[shinji]

I wish I could join this but I'm too busy... Maybe I'm going to join some contests on my summer break. (Which is in August)

 

[Aeroblyctos]

I forgot to say good luck to everyone here.

So far here's my progress:

Terrain: 35%
Player heroes, abilities and items: 100%
Boss phase 1: 50%
Boss phase 2: 20%
Boss phase 3: 0%

Overall progress: 30%.

I'm doing great actually, with just two days and I'm this far. I'm a machine(well okay I admit I had yesterday free day)!

 

[-Kobas-]

I made progress as well, I imported large number of libraries as well as resources.
Terrain is recreated as well.
I already created 3 heroes (1 for each player, if there is no player you gain control over hero).
And I created boss as well.

I tested basic attack and shits works awesome.
Will create spells after school

 

[Remixer]

I am not going to join neither. I am too busy at the moment.

 

[BeTaGod-]

Okay here's my work in progress so far.

I have an idea where the boss is a freaking huge giant beast (demon) of fire that fights right from a sort of lava pit. Dunno if i explained myself.

My map will be played by 1 player only and with a fixed character (maybe some sort of barbarian, wizard or warrior), but he will be able to fully customize his skillset. I am still looking for some best boss model with more animations.

Some images from terrain so far (still lots of work to do):

Terrain WIPs

(Overall terrain scratch)

(Boss's lava pit)

Lava pit almost done from WE. (Ingame looks MUCH better with glow and particles and shit).

Also i alredy got most of the sound and SFX stuff, i just have to pick a theme song suited for battle against the very same hell.

I have not done much thinking on boss phase or boss model itself. If you have some ideas, please share!

OMG! my idea is very similar, is a lava-boss I guess I am goin' to change it a little... Imma make it lava-skeleton kind of a boss ahahaha

Mine is about a dwarven mine that has been attacked by necromancers that believe that there are demon corpes on the mines and they want to bring him back to life, it is a 1 player game with only 1 hero and the player needs to stop the necromancers from bringin' him back to life (which they do and then u have to kill him). There will be a little path before the boss fight just so u know your hero's power and to give the map a little bit more magic and suspense. So my idea is basicly a dwarven mine attacked by necromancers that bring back to life a skeleton god or demon or whatever and a dwarf hero (player) comes to kill him and save the mine.

I can't post pictures because I am not at my house but as soon as I get home I will post some pictures and shizz

btw gl to everybody!

Oh great... I was on a similar idea. Anyway I'm not certain I can finish it.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Hmm, nice idea there.

 

[eubz]

I'll join if a good idea comes.

 

[mckill2009]

Oh great... I was on a similar idea. Anyway I'm not certain I can finish it.

Me either coz I have to trigger ALL attacks and unit movements, means no auto engage and movement since arrow keys are used, plus my terraining is very bad...

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Ok I've now fully thought my boss fight. Now I must do it which can be really, really hard.

Let's see how I'll succeed... I don't want to reveal much yet but all I can say that the boss has three phases and everything will be done with GUI!

 

[HammerFist132]

I have finished everything on my mind now and I have gathered all model( I use wow models ). Now the easiest part is to make spell, terrain, boss, phases, items, and all other gui thing and that's xD

 

[Remixer]

I can be a judge if I just can. Are there any requires?

 

[WerePhoenix]

I think, perhaps coding knowledge.

 

[mckill2009]

Yehey!, I've finally created my WIP, it's still 10% done though ...as you can see it resembles arcade thingy, after 1 minutes the boss will appear...

EDIT:
Progress:
Terrain - 5%
Spells - 5%
Gameplay - 0%
AI Enemies - 0%

 

[-Kobas-]

When we finish this contest I would like to contribute and improve terrain a lot, I can work with destructibles instead doodads so we can "set graphic" with triggers, or even change environment (blasts, explosions etc etc).

Nice idea, I had same but I can't help myself creating something like that will take 2 much time and it will never be completed for me because I always seek perfection

Good job

 

[mckill2009]

sure and thanks, terrain of this is still 5% complete though, I'll try my best for it coz like I
said Im very bad in terraining, good luck to everyone!...

 

[DSanhueza]

You got an awesome idea right there dude u sure will make it to the finals if u can pull it off the right way. I have some terrain feedback for u i hope u dont mind uhmmm i loved the idea and dude like if u make all the trees and stuff like that small and the fliying things lil smaller too it will give it a feelin that u flying very high and that will make it look waaaay better if u know what i am tryin to say ahaha gl

btw my map status is:
Terrain 95%
Triggers 75%
Units 85%
Sound 95%
Descriptions 65%

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Oh, you're pretty ready there.

I got some problems with doing all the coding but I think I'll handle this.

 

[HammerFist132]

My status

Terrain 0%
Hero 0%
Triggers 0%
Mobs 0%
Items 0%
Idea 65%
That is pure true but don't warry I will work hard on terrain for about two hourses and then upload pictures of it. I have epic idea for terrain xD for about 3,5 hours I will upload pictures and all feedbacs mean for me much xD. I am creating game with two bosses and I am hoping to I will finishh it in time.xD

 

[DSanhueza]

Yeaaah ahahaha the past 3 days its been rainignand I had to work until 12 only so the rest of the day i been mappin' i dont really get to do this very often so i am really enjoying it ahahah

Here are some pictures of my work so far

I want to point out that I want the map to look like u are very deep in a mine and theres lava everywhere, in-game it does not look this bright, for some reason when i took the picture the glowing effects raised a lot but then you in-game it looks perfect, not much glowing and not too little either... First one is when u start the game, second one is your first encounter with a necromancer, third one is about a lava giant and some elementals fliying from the lava into the path, fourth one is the gate to the boss fight site and the last one is just a random pic from a spot on the boss fight site... i know the last one looks really bright but in-game it does not... trust me

feedback is very welcome!
