Tauren Space Marine 3rd Person Shooter

[eisnerguy1]

So, after spending a few more days with the editor, I've got something to show off. It stars the Tauren Space Marine. You get a distress signal & you must venture through a dangerous canyon & eliminate all of the zerg & get to your transport. It's a bit bare right now but, I thought I had enough of it complete to show it off.

Some things I'm currently working on/trying to fix (some are currently disabled for now):

• Add a map small map for the player
• Implement a counter (as a objective) of how many zerg-related things are left (see THanson02.SC2Map/Outbreak map)
• Include getting back to your ship as an objective
• Change attack range?
• Using a custom loading screen (pretty sure this is a Mac-specific issue because, I've created both .DDS & .TGA images & the Editor's importer does not recognize them)
• Have only 1 attack sound play when clicking the left click.
• Fill out the rest of the map/make the journey more interesting/varried
• Add interactions with villages (and more of them as well)
• Have more uses for the Murloc Marine?
• Jump over zerglings?

The controls:
WASD for directional
Spacebar for jump
E for resetting camera
Left-click for attacking

Credits/inspiration (If I've forgotten to give credit to anyone, I apologize & please let me know so that I can add you to the list)

• World of StarCraft
• Mar Sara Outlaws
• Perdition
• Planetary Boss Minis - Valdar the Vindicator
• THanson02.SC2Map/Outbreak
• TRaynor03.SC2Map/Zero Hour
• New Space Marine Unit Found In StarCraft II (kotaku. It was the inspiration for the end of my map, if you watch the video, without having played my map first, it kinda spoils the end)

Attached are some screenshots (and the loading screen I plan on using at some point) and the current version of my map

Believe me, the textures are far from finished. I just wanted to get it to a point where the engine & win/loss functions were working. The next beta will definitely have varied textures

I had to be at point-blank range in order to shoot anyone

Also it would be kinda cool if you could jump over the zerglings

I need to modify the attack range. It's definitely on my to-do-list. Ooo, jumping over zerglings? Great idea I'll see if i can somehow implement that

Yeah, it was kinda annoying not being able to get out when zerglings as large as my hoof surrounded me

Very nice, warm welcome that makes thw look like such a nice place there.

Anyway great map, nice name on the word play, you'll have your work cut-out to match some of the other TPS/FPS coming out, but persist and I'm sure you'll do it, good job

Thanks for the comments guys I should have the 2nd beta finished by tomorrow. I want to try & implement the Objectives if I can. Quick question: I'll probably need to move the Health Bar (for the objectives list) , where would you like for me to put it?

• Top
• Top Right
• Left
• Center
• Right
• Bottom Left
• Bottom
• Bottom Right

 

[Hawkwing]

Top Right in my opinion.

This reminds me of the new valve free-to-play Alien Swarm

Wrong thread, thanks.

I'm working on Beta 3 now. I want to try & focus on making all of the features work before adding any new content. So, Beta 3 will pretty much be focused on fixing/ making things work.
