Starcraft: New Galaxy

[Gyrosphinx]

I gor an idea for a new project that i'll start after Evolution, it's called Sc:NG. its about a terran expedition travelling to another galaxy were they colonize a quite large desert planet. it contains none of the normally used resources, but vast amounts of oil, but they meet a new danger, a sporebred greenskinned creature designed for war, Da Orks. (oh i love that smiley) i want to know what u think is going to be the other resource than oil, and what u think of the idea

As long you will be comitted and finish it is good.

I'll doas best as I can, but I'll appreciate somebody helping me with triggers, not so good at that stuff.

I'll add some simple self made enviromental doodads and creeps so thaat i can tailor it to fit my ideas.

Apart from your post, that does look extremely unprofessional, this could have some potential, but that's mainly because I know next to nothing about your map. Basically Terrains going to a desert planet which has a vast amount of oil where they fight Space Orcs? Okay, judging from that, it could turn out great, awful, and anywhere between that. I suggest posting more information on this idea, so that other people actually got anything to comment.

hey, its still on scratch, i've figured it all out this evening. but costructive critism is accepted so I'll post some details:
-the planet enviroment is quite hostile, with extreme heat and powerful flaywinds (trigger so that nonmech units is damaged)
-it is quite few trees, but many cacti-like plants, most of the lifeforms is insectoid and primitive humanoids.
-the landscape is quite rocky, with monoliths and mesaes, resembling thousand needles somewhat, but still quite different.
-the oil is mostly found in the seas, and often surrounded by schools of giant baracuda.
-in the northern hemisphere there exist some small swamps around in the canyons, inhabited by small red fishpeople.

Thanks for that geographical lesson on how the planet looks. Now, why don't you tell us something about the maps storyline, systems, gameplay, or anything that I can actually comment?

 

[Handycombinder]

Hmm, it can turn out good

 

[Gyrosphinx]

The storyline is still only basics, so ideas are 100% welcome. the campaign will be sentered around both Terran and ork, mostly Terran in the start, then Ork around the end. It will contain a lot of custom models, skins, icons and spells (who can be without it), and i'll add a variety of new models, mixing up some starcraft and 40k elements.
The resource othar than oil can be:
-Uranium
-Thorium
-Waaaahgium (something orkish)
-Scrap Metal (most likely)
-Feel free to add other ideas
Name is now Starcraft: New Generation

So it's a campaign?

 

[Gyrosphinx]

Yeah sure, i'm doing one mission at a time, so the first Beta or Alpha will just be mission 1, planning to make about 8-11 missions.

First Mission story line: The Expedition space craft is shot down by unknown AA guns when entering the atmosphere of the planet fp:any name ideas). U and your team need to search the wreck site for survivors, and find a way to survive in the hostile and harsh enviroments. The first objective is simple, find shelter for the flaywinds and locate remaining survivors. some time after the crash, Ork scouts come searching for u, and u need to take care of them in some way.

Your main character wil be Jack Bolton (might change the name), a scout leutenant, and the only surviving senior officer, but I'll need some ideas for my secondary ofiicer, Gray Johnson, wich is a Toxic Warrior/Zergicide Agent. Other hero and name ideas is welcome aswell.

Ork Idea is kinda off, almean Starcraft and 40K gets compared all the time. Placing orks into starcraft just tipps off the originality of the starcraft. At least that's what I think.

Edit: You can always drop the starcraft name and make your own world based on terrans and space orks.

 

[Gyrosphinx]

Thats an alternative, Thanks

Still no ideas for planet name etc.

Well, it was blizzard that was toying with space orks (and tauren), so it makes a little sense.

 

[Gyrosphinx]

The thing is that 40k Orks rock, but i like terrans better than imperial troops (too much dictature, gothic, death, skulls, negative signs, extreme lawfulness etc.)

 

[Artins the Great]

gotta agree, blizzard orcs are sissies, the 40k orcs are some real enemies to mass around with.

 

[Gyrosphinx]

after all, they got war bikes and trashcan robots

And the Terrans DOES travel to a new galaxy they never have been in before, so theoretically, it could be full of anything from space murlocs to giantic space travelling dragons
