Solo Mini-Mapping Contest #7 - Boss Fight

[TheWhiteWolf]

Just this once, I am taking a break from my retirement.
This contest is too... made for me. I just can't miss it. I can't help the fact that 90% of bossfights, even here on Hive, are depressing, for they make me sad while I play them. I wanted to make one myself a long time ago and now, I will.

So, the idea is: killing undead people

I tend to make this dungeon/bossfight as less Warcraft3 or WoW as I can.
So, you have 3 players and 3 really basic characters: Knight, Assassin and Wizard.
The spells will be original, un-warcrafty, and I will try to make them not to remind the player of any MMO/RPG.

Game will also have quests and will be divided into several parts:
Beginning, in which you spend stat and ability points, for there will be no leveling.
Prologue, in which you just test abilities.
Chapter One, in which you fight creeps and escape traps. It climaxes with a bossfight.
Chapter Two, in which you kill some more creeps. It climaxes with THE bossfight.

There is a wide variety of creeps, traps, quests...
Terrain is very detailed and, I hope, realistic.


That is all from me for now

 

[-Kobas-]

So far:

• Damage system
• 21 hero abilities
• 3 boss abilities
• Terrain, game setup and other shits

 

[Aeroblyctos]

I'm not focusing on the gameplay itself. My focus will definitely be the boss fight and I hope judges will judge the boss fight, not some quickly made Blizzard spells.

 

[Garfield1337]

Well, the gameplay revolves around boss fight lol D;

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Oh noes, then I'll will definitely lose some points.

 

[BeTaGod-]

Sup guys! I have been working on terraining quite a bit. Also i decided i will keep the boss's current model.

WIP4

BTW. The arcade kind of thing is pretty cool!

 

[Pharaoh_]

Awww, that looks interesting :>

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

Hello there. A smart thing to do is to download some sound package from another game, or rip it out by yourself. Remember to credit, though.

 

[bowser499]

Whoa... This will be kinda mix between terraining and mapping contest D:
I extremely like all the work here! Can't wait to test THEM ALL! Continue your greeeat work!

When testing entries, will you have multiple players or will you test only by yourself? Just asking because of multiplayer entries.

 

[bowser499]

As you choose and as the boss will require.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

I'll be joining as long as I can finish it before the 18th (when I leave the country)

I have 1 last exam on Tuesday that I need to study for, but I'm aching to do some modding.

Good luck to all the entrants.

 

[mckill2009]

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

that's what I planned to do, make doodads and ground units small, melee AI
fighting on background, etc...
one problem I have is I want to make the camera as high as possible but it'll
be dark perhaps it's got somethin to do with the fog or camera field of view...

 

[Jazztastic]

Zzz looks like its time to do some warcraft modding. With all the UDK work I was almost beginning to miss the good ol' world editor.

Hopefully WiP coming soon, unless I procrastinate.

 

[Pharaoh_]

Work in Progress (hope I can make it)

WiP

 

[sonofjay]

@Pharaoh
I love the dark environment of your WiP, also the UI looks perfect on it.

 

[HammerFist132]

Terrain Start Beta 1

I forgot to post picture(no I do not I have made it now ). I am noobish terrainer and this is best from myself. Pls tell me suggestions etc. Ofc this is only beta and its start location. First half of game is outside and other half in castle.

Looks excellent. You're not a noob terrainer at all. I've been doing this for like 10 years and yours still surpasses mine.

Edit - here's my first WIP (About 2 hours I guess) http://i.imgur.com/CrwGb.jpg

 

[HammerFist132]

Thanks dude that's mean me a lot. U are good to. We are opossites xD. Btw I can give u some custom MoltenCore textures for terrain if you want. I also planning custom terrains xD.

No thanks, man. I want to use imports in my map but only my own work I think. Thanks anyway though!

 

[bowser499]

@Pharaoh_
Nice one you have there!

This contest seems to be really flashy and beautiful

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Oh, one thing. Can I import a knockback system made by someone else? Is this allowed?

 

[mckill2009]

Ofc, as long as you give credits ...
one thing cant be done is to use somebody's terrain...

 

[Lord_Earthfire]

Ahhhh, the contest already begun? I'm not sure if i can do this in time, count me in, but i can't say that i can create soemthing finished in time

Work In Progress #2

WiP2

 

[BeTaGod-]

Hey! @Pharaoh_ ! Stop trying or i will be forced to kick your ass!

Haha, looking good mate, but i think the statues are not compatible at all.. use one model for both of them! I don't know if i will be fighting some sort of egiptian boss or a moon-styled girl. Keep it up!

 

[Pharaoh_]

There will be a cinematic of how that place was created. Thanks for the feedback, might consider your suggestion ;]

 

[Remixer]

So can I be a judge? I would like to.

- Pharaoh - you should give others chance. Love that blue glowing.

 

[Pharaoh_]

@Remixer, you have to be tested for that, unless you already have a proof of past experience.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

Not gonna be working on this any more tonight, hoping I'll have something playable before I have to leave anyway.

Here's a WIP (Another 2 hours of work I guess)

http://www.xfire.com/video/56ec88/

 

[Remixer]

@Remixer, you have to be tested for that, unless you already have a proof of past experience.

And the proof is? Uber map made by myself or?

 

[Aeroblyctos]

I just tested my boss fight and I've have to say it's fucking awesome and very hard to beat(fucking hectic boss fight).

I'll create four difficulties so that it will suit for everyone.

I don't want to reveal the boss itself just yet. However, I'll put soon some screenshots.

 

[Remixer]

Then when judging your map... Comment : HOW THE HELL YOU THINK THAT SOME ONE COULD PLAY THIS MAP?!?!?!? oh sorry forgot whosyourdaddy >,<

 

[Vengeancekael]

And the proof is? Uber map made by myself or?

You usually get asked to review a map uploaded in the maps section.

 

[Remixer]

Ahaa thank you, though no one is uploading maps at the time ;D

 

[Vengeancekael]

Well I always asked potential judges to review popular maps like tkok, diablo 3, etc.
You'll have to see what bowser will ask of you

 

[HammerFist132]

I am so proud on myself xD. I have never been working so good like now (terrain). I want to upload Wip but how to remove fog xC

 

[Pharaoh_]

If it's an editor screenshot, hit "F". If it's in-game,

• Environment - Set fog to style Linear, z-start 0.00, z-end 1000000000.00, density 0.00 and color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%)

for testing.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

Pharaoh_, I think you misunderstand how linear fog works.

Fog will be invisible until z-start, at which point it will scale linearly to full density at z-end.

Those values represent the distance from the camera in game units. Assuming the maximum map size is 480x480, then the diagonal from the bottom left to the top right is 86,888.96 game units. With a maximum camera height of 2,000 game units, the maximum target distance is therefore 86,890.74.

Rounding, we can use 100,000 game units. Therefore the GUI action should be

• Environment - Set fog to style Linear, z-start 100000., z-end 100000., density 0.00 and color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%)

Jesus I'm drunk -_-

 

[mckill2009]

Hopefully I can post a video with the first phase of the fight tonight, it's 6 drone space
ships protecting a mother ship, the mother ship will be the 3rd phase of the fight...

 

[Pharaoh_]

New WiP (probably the final of the terrain):

In game

In editor

(And yes, I'll most probably fix the Light from Above model), because its edges are visible and not smooth)

 

[SA Dashie]

I guess that I should post a wip or something.
I shall provide you with a pretty waterfall that I made that is apart of the terrain that I am making so far. Enjoy :J

edit: ahh I forgot to enable the fog, oh well.

Hmm... I like the idea I think it is pretty unique and interesting.

 

[bowser499]

@Remixer, you can be judge ofc.

@Remixer, you can be judge ofc.

Thank you! =333333

 

[HammerFist132]

Today I am working on spells xD. Problem with fog isn't fixed. When I view in game with big distance then sky is showed.
Terrain 40%
Other 0%.
And one more thing. Judging is not affected by reputation. I think those with lesser rep has same chance like with huge.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

My progress:

Terrain - 50%
Player - 100%
Boss - 90%
Gameplay - 95%
Testing - 80%

 

[-Kobas-]

That is more or less first stage.
I play solo and it's hard to control 3 heroes after few games, so Boss defeated me easily
I still need to balance some spells and fix some minor problems related to gameplay
