Stick Ranger (new type RPG)

[Eldubs]

Intro
This map is going to be a little success, at least I think so. I got the idea from a internet flash game and it has pretty much similiar stat system as warcraft and i was playing the game and really enjoyed it. The link is here: Stick Ranger. I got very interested in the game, i was always thinking of a warcraft version and i thought it could be a pretty easy task, and a pretty good thing to do. But for that I need a team to develop with. All item icons will be taken from the actual internet game, and resized into Warcraft 3 icon size. All stats and things will be accurately taken from the game. In the future events there will be balancing changes from our side also, only after we finish everything that the game itself contains.

Specialty
System
-Custom type of hero management. Every player who will be playing this map will always have four heroes to use. These four heroes will not have any special skills, but the items will have the skills. The level up points will be distributed amongst important strategic stats, like health, agility, strenght and intelligence. Stages are another special thing. When you want to get experience you dont just go and kill monsters. Here you need to enter a stage and kill there. Completing stages will be a 1 player thing, there will probably be a few stages that reguire more than 2 team of players. (1 team 4 heroes).
Heroes
Starting from six different heroes, but you ca only pick 4 heroes. You can also pick multiple same heroes, for example boxer/boxer/boxer/boxer. When you level up you gain 2 Stat Points (SP) to waste on stats.

Boxer. High speed average damage, melee range.

Boxer

Boxer is the most high speed having character and a middle tank unit high damage dealer. With a good combination he can do crazy damages.

Stats

Gladiator. Average speed, high damage, low range.

Gladiator

Gladiator, is the best tank in the map. He has high damage and high health. Also has a cleaving attack around him for a low ammount of range.

Stats

Sniper. Average speed, high damage, high range.

Sniper

Sniper, also can be called as a ranger or archer. Is a high damage dealing unit with great range. Is a very useful part for the team.

Stats

Magician. Low speed, high damage, average range.

Magician

Magician, also is a damage dealer, who can dish out damage to many targets at once or slow the enemies for a more efficient defence.

Stats

Priest. Low speed, low damage, average range.

Priest

Priest is a buffer, offering valuable defence or attack aura. Also has a few staffs granting him spells that can benefit your team.

Stats

Whipper. Average speed, average damage, low range.

Whipper

Whipper is a great debuffer or a damage dealer. He can dish out great area damage in a small time.

Stats

Stages going to be included:

Stages

These stages are all made in the game, and i am going to name the stages in the map the same. Every stage has 1-5 different monsters. All monsters have different items dropped.

Currently Recruiting:

Triggerers
2D artist
Spell Makers

Current Team

Eldubs: Project leader

job

Does many things, makes the units. Balances the map. Works as the main betatester.

EternalWow2010: Terrainer

job

As the terrainer his job will be critical for the map quality. The terrain wont probably be anything special as the map is not about the terrain, its more about gameplay and the style.

Aslit Spell Maker

job

Aslit is one of the important persons, making the spells is vital to the map and needs to be made accurately.

We can always take more people to work on the map!

 

[Eldubs]

My friend told me that the pictures in the character descriptions does not work for him. If you have the same problem please tell me so i can find a solution.

 

[indomitable1319]

Do not double-post or you will be neg-repped.

 

[Eldubs]

I did not double post... And was waiting for a reply to my map. Not about rule breaching.

13 minutes after the first post.

Bump posts are only allowed after 48 hours after the last post. If the last post was yours.

 

[Eldubs]

Thread start does not count as a post. And i know about that rule. If you have nothing else to tell about the map please dont fill it out with useless chat. Thank you.

 

[RedClaw]

hmm i may help ya with terraining but tell me wat you want..

 

[Eldubs]

We need to gather the full team first. Atleast 1 terrainer, unit maker and the dude just does the map, and the triggerer who will do the most important job. Il set you up as a terrainer if you want?

 

[RedClaw]

ok il do it

 

[Eldubs]

Ok, welcome to the team, we just need a triggerer to start the map. But we will need the full team to complete the map and have it at full progress : )

 

[Chizume]

Truth been told the original game was really bad. No aspects of strategy or tactics or..no nothing. But I see how it could be developed into a neat wc3 game. Good luck.

 

[Eldubs]

Thanks for the encourage, i really like the flash game. You actually need a sence of strategy in it. As the way you assign your stats and combine them with the weapons you can make a decent pvp team that you can use in the game. Theres the pvp mode thing in the start.

 

[Chizume]

To me it felt like all you needed to do was spam hp on your melee tank and then spam dps on your ranged characters. Maybe, simply, I didn't give it enough time

 

[Eldubs]

The game is very long if you play it enough, can take you days to complete it.

 

[TV_Dinnah]

What about the dungeon of Eldubs?

 

[Eldubs]

Its my solo project what i am working on all the time.

 

[RedClaw]

pm me whene you want me to start terraining

 

[Eldubs]

I will, i am thinking of how will the map look like, maybe boxes? Or just a land.

Vital triggerer need.

 

[kevlamin]

I could try triggering, but i don't know JASS and i might not be very reliable at the moment, as i have exams coming up. On a side note, it's a java game not flash.

 

[Eldubs]

Doestn change the deal xP, i need a good triggerer and active so i cant recruit you.

 

[kevlamin]

Alright then. Hopefully it gets finished as it looks like it would make a fun game

 

[Eldubs]

We did not start yet, and the map wont be ready for another few months.

 

[kevlamin]

Eh still hope it gets finished

 

[defskull]

Warcraft Editor can make a F$%^& boring game, to a wonderful, epic-ly game, believe me ;D
Even Mario in Warcraft III Frozen Throne, people would enjoy it ;D

Super Mario is fun.

0.o Mario has been made into a map

 

[Aslit]

seems interesting, i coul make unit and/or spells

 

[Eldubs]

Pretty good that your interested. I can assign you as a spell maker, because i am going to make the units. But everybody can suggest models for the units. If i set you as a spellmaker that will be very good we will just need a triggerer.

 

[Aslit]

ok, count me in

 

[Chizume]

I do fancy the project too.

My thing is overall game aesthetics. I would be happy to support as a semi-member or something.

 

[Eldubs]

I will see when we start the project, i am at the moment thinking of the layout of the terrain and how will the stages be, any suggestions are welcome.

 

[Chizume]

Is it going to be viewed from the side?

 

[Eldubs]

No i dont think so, that would be a good idea. I was thinking of making it a warcraft style map. With the stages and things. Because if it would be viewed from the side, why wouldnt you just play it on the web?

 

[xFiReFoXx]

i WOULD like to help on this project...im pretty good at triggering, but i dont know jass, nor do i really want to =|. the only thing so far that i haven't been able to do is a save/load system which basically requires Jass anyways. but if not i would atleast like to send you some of my systems i have so you guys can atleast get started.

 

[Eldubs]

Well, i am a ass in triggering. That your telling you dont know jass tells me nothing. Thats why i need people in the project. What kind of systems you have?

 

[Chizume]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I doubt this project need very advanced triggering. Even I as an intermediately skilled GUI triggerer could do this. As long as they're efficient and don't leak, simple GUI should be fine.

Question #1: Will there be any Save/Load?
Question #2: Have you gotten allowance to use the original game art/icons?
Statement #1: A cool addition would be to get your hands on a classic Stickman 3d model and attach class-specific weapons.

 

[Eldubs]

Question #1 answer: Yes there will be a save load, you cant complete a big game within a few hours.
Question #2 answer: No, but is this important? I can get the allowance i think. Will be contacting now.
Statement #1 answer: I am not sure yet, either i will get a stick model, and when you pick up a new weapon you get it as a model on your character, either i will make ready models (not stick). This is still undecided.

 

[Chizume]

@ Question #1 answer: I guess you have a point. It would indeed suit PvP well. Load your teams and unleash your stickmen in an epic duel!
@ Question #2 answer: I do think it is important. Especially if you plan on uploading it here.
@ Statement #1 answer: It sounds like you've got it figured out. Time will tell

 

[Eldubs]

So shizume, do you want to join the team? I am working on the terrain template, how will the stages look like, here is a picture what i am imaginating for now. I did not start anything yet.

Stick Ranger terrain template

 

[Chizume]

I believe other are more suited for the task as a triggerer, my skills lay in the art section. Plus I have some projects of my own right now. See me more as a devoted supporter. Also, please spell my name correctly.

Yours,
Chizume

 

[Eldubs]

I am sorry that i mispelled s with c, just that i hear that name before in a anime and i remembered it from there. But what do you think about the picture, would that be a good layout for terrain?

 

[Chizume]

About the terrain, I'm not sure what you are after. It's just squares on a plain map, but I guess it's a good draft for the stages. Depending on what atmosphere the game should have you should consider what tileset you're using. Lordaeron Summer is Very playful, while Ashenvale would be the more serious choice. Don't forget to eventually mix other aesthetically compatible tiles and possibly imported tiles with each other.

 

[Aslit]

any idea so, we start when full team?

 

[Eldubs]

i think lordaeron summer suits the best, as the java game has grassy lands and water, also we will need to import sand or something. Its all still undecided and suggestions are welcome.

any idea so, we start when full team?

First of all we need to decide what kind of terrain template we are going to use for the stages, theres a picture i made thats 1 of the things we MIGHT use, no sure deal yet.

 

[Eldubs]

Still waiting for some feedback about my terrain template.

 

[Chizume]

First of all we need to decide what kind of terrain template we are going to use for the stages, theres a picture i made thats 1 of the things we MIGHT use, no sure deal yet.

First, there is a Sand tile. Modify Tileset > Use custom tileset > Additional Textures > Sunken Ruins > The fifth tile from the left is Sand.

Second, you should put those zones further away from each other. Then add boundaries around them. As for the gameplay, you can use fade in/out filter and write a game message like "Act 1; Stage 2", for instance, to get an epic atmosphere.

 

[Eldubs]

That can be added, and dont worry, there will be cliffs between those ares, i am not stupid : )

I just want to be sure what kind of terrain template we are going to use before we start making the map, because if we will need to change the thing in the middle all done terrain will be useless.

 

[Chizume]

By boundaries I did not mean cliffs, I mean boundaries.

Yours,
Chizume

 

[Eldubs]

Like the black area you cant walk through?
