Very good description and nice screenshoots , will test now ....( it is protected ? )For what ? Why do you think that ?Your map is incomplete ?

 

[Vengeancekael]

Not protected, but will be with the next version.

I'm expecting 10% positive comments and 90% negative ones.

 

[thekebecer]

it's look very nice, but I've some problem.

Good points
Nice use of effects

Bad points
I found the wolves, I kill them and nothing happen.
I have like 5 time the Wolves quest in the quests log.
I can pass in the forest and walk over the big empty area.
47MB....oO

EDIT: I will continue testing the map and give you another feedback

 

[Vengeancekael]

Oh yeah, that's a stupid bug, will fix it.

Edit: I forgot to say that the warcraft 3 save system works.

 

[Palooo3]

Downloading, gonna play will add result soon man

P.S. Love screenshots

Here it is

+ Nice loading screen
+ Tutorial
+ Good music
+ Voice acting ( But can't understand statue and dungeon keeper very well )
+ Good use of effects
+ Changeable camera view
÷ Way too much cinematic
÷ Attached camera
- You can take a lot of "spirit wolf killing" quests, and nothing happen after killing them
and same with those dragons or whatever it was in first dungeon
- You forgot to import Disabled icon
- Cinematic with high spirit in dungeon can be bugged, you fight a demon while speaking to it, if you didn't answer right.
- Pathing blockers miss in forest
- Lack of healing potions drops, must be more
- What does a bunch of monks do in middle of forest full of monsters?

Oh and added few screens of buggs:


2.5/5 for now
Well i died in first dungeon so i didnt see more of game, but enjoyed playing anyway

Palooo3

Screens

 

[Vengeancekael]

Attached camera

You're not allowed to be able to look at the whole map.

- You can take a lot of "spirit wolf killing" quests, and nothing happen after killing them
and same with those dragons or whatever it was in first dungeon

Already fixed in 1.1

- You forgot to import Disabled icon

Only for the move icon. Will be fixed later

- Lack of healing potions drops, must be more

Good point

- What does a bunch of monks do in middle of forest full of monsters?

Yes they're supposedly gathering money for the church, but you're in the starting area which still counts as a tutorial, so you're just playing around with the dialogue system.

- Cinematic with high spirit in dungeon can be bugged, you fight a demon while speaking to it, if you didn't answer right.

Will be fixed.

EDIT: 1.1 released.

KNOWN ISSUES

THE KILLING QUESTS ARE STILL BUGGED
FINAL MISSION HAS AN INFINITE REPEAT BUG

Edit: New Video

1.1b released.

 

[-Kobas-]

We will wait with moderation, is that ok buddy
Map has 2 many errors and need to be tested, after some time, month and 2 when you upload stable version we will test it properly

 

[Vengeancekael]

Sounds fair.

 

[-Kobas-]

I tested map and I must say that your terrain skills improved
But still those trees look horrible
If you already created custom planet use something like:
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/tree1azsha-49400/?prev=search=tree&r=20&d=list&page=2
or even better, make barrens like terrain (or lordareon fail tileset) and use this http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...e-160526/?prev=search=tree&r=20&d=list&page=2
You can import few grass models and make epic terrain landscapes

I usually like to see some special effects but you placed 2 many

Fire spell heal fire elemental?
That's cool idea but you should describe that, maybe create hints or help commands
Also that real numbers look so fail, use integers to remove .00

I like how you created dialog systems

Cinematic are good, but at some point camera is placed close to that demon girl (she move head trough my monitor so I needed to punch her into horns, damn I could lost my lunch, you should feed her well next time, before uploading map). Anyway you get the point

Quests are fail and totally random, honestly

Main story look cool

Hmm yes potions, cooldown is huge and potions don't stack
You miss items as well

That would be all for now ^^

 

[Vengeancekael]

Fire spell heal fire elemental?

Huh?

Also that real numbers look so fail, use integers to remove .00

What numbers are you talking about?

Quests are fail and totally random, honestly

The ones in the starting forest are just there to make the hero a bit stronger and to play around with his spells.

 

[-Kobas-]

Huh?

I throw fire ball at fire elemental and his hit points go up >.>

What numbers are you talking about?

Damage Show System

The ones in the starting forest are just there to make the hero a bit stronger and to play around with his spells.

I was speaking about:
Kill 4 wolves
Kill 3 demon monsters (sry forgot names)

 

[Vengeancekael]

Yeah 'kill 4 wolves' is the one in the starting forest.

And the other one... I'll see how I can modify it.

 

[-Kobas-]

I suggest you to create story for each one of them and make them optional quests.
If player decide to play them he can understand and learn more about word you created, story and so on...
At least I am doing that way

 

[Vengeancekael]

Coming soon:
New System: Item Stacking
New System: 'Damage Detection'
New System: Fishing
New System: Combo Attacks
New Area
New character 'Lost Man'
New character 'Doctor'
New character 'Shepard'
New character 'Town Keeper'
New character 'Teleport Master'
New Quest 'Lost Man'
New Quest 'Prepare For War'
New Quest 'Rescue Whores'
New Item 'Boots of Haste'
A lot of optimization changes
Modified Quest 'Spirit Wolves'
Reduced Health Potion Drop Chance
Added other potion drops

 

[Adiktuz]

[Orcnet]

Wow! this game looks promising! mind if I make a review for this?

 

[Vengeancekael]

Go ahead.

 

[Orcnet]

[Vengeancekael]

Shit:

KNOWN ISSUE
THE CAMERA WILL NOT STOP SHAKING AFTER THE ESCAPE EVENT

 

[Orcnet]

I'm Awake! with your map's nonsense! LOL!

Map Review

The Awakening v1.4

Grading System

General:

Originality-[10]
Triggering-[10]
Difficulty-[5]

Game Cosmetics:

Gameplay-[10]
Terraining-[10]
Synergy-[5]

Bugs-see information from below:

Map Score Overall-[50/50]

Overview:

[+] signs means there is something good within your work, this won't be part of the grading since this is just a good comment saying you made a good job
[-] signs means you must make something better or maybe an improvement of that part of your work
[bugs] won't deduct your score, however, will only show you some mishaps and low managing of some triggers,terrains,units etc.

General

Originality [10/10]
Note:
[+] The map was really good!, although It reminds me of the game "Sacrifice" and "Soul Reaver" at the same time, anyways, your originality is outstanding! which make this section perfect.
Triggering [8/10]
Note:
[+] The Triggers went well, although I find some scenes disturbing, which I will explain it at the bugs section.
Difficulty [4/5]
Note:
[+] Excellent role for this part man! but to my surprise, it ain't easy for beginners and slow handed people (no offense!) because their are some parts of the map were you have to micro your way to finish the game instead of simple moves and wait for the enemy to die with those colorful spells.

Game Cosmetics

Gameplay [10/10]
Note:
[+] Disturbing yet Funny, there is porn! what? huh? I mean LMAO! this is the first time I encountered a map were porno takes place as an entertainment, LOL! good one, but to all viewers right now, this map is not allowed to young players, really! beware!.
[+] The voice acting, LOL! is that you making all of those voices? anyways I want to congratulate them(or just you) for making such impressive, annoying, and funny voices just for this game, I declare this part perfect for such unique resources.
Terraining [10/10]
Note:
[+] Magically beautiful, so many effects and colors in your map, I found no bad terraining in my observations, pretty cool by the way, perfect!
Synergy [5/5]
Note:
[+] Every part of the map amazes me so much I played it another time, and maybe later for bedtime, just to master your game LOL! anyways, I see your still making some more changes, well good luck with that!

Bug/s

Bug #1: Daveth's skills aren't working! yeah that's right, when I cast all of my spells to the enemy it just heals them and nothing happens, no effects just healing every god-damn one of them, it took me hard times and daunting authentications before I reached Garglur (forgot that dragon's name) until I finished the game, so I'm guessing you could fix that as a main priority dude.

Bug #1: The lightings, about the quest for the worker to carve the red crystals, when I tick him to go into the dungeon without daveth, the lighting of the map turns to red!, and in vice-versa, it turns to green, without that horny mage around, if you do find that bug, try also to fix that buddy!

Score Statistics

Total Score [47/50] Grade [97%]

Overall, I just laughed so much and had a good time with these miscellaneous events that I appreciate it, well good job with your map, and I hope there are more changes for the next updates.

happy map-making!

 

[Vengeancekael]

before I reached Garglur (forgot that dragon's name) until I finished the game

Wait so you left the game after having killed Gaglur? (the dragon)

although It reminds me of the game "Sacrifice" and "Soul Reaver" at the same time

Never heard of these games.

Excellent role for this part man! but to my surprise, it ain't easy for beginners and slow handed people (no offense!) because their are some parts of the map were you have to micro your way to finish the game instead of simple moves and wait for the enemy to die with those colorful spells.

Perhaps I'll add multiple difficulties.

The voice acting, LOL! is that you making all of those voices?

Hmm that's weird. You mean you used Fiery Explosion on a creature in the dungeon for example and it healed him?

But thanks for the review, +3 rep.
Maybe you could rate the map here on the hive?

 

[Orcnet]

"Wait so you left the game after having killed Gaglur? (the dragon)"
nope, I finished the entire game with that healing bug that took all over my spells.

"Never heard of these games."
here is a quick for those really old games:
Sacrifice
Soul Reaver

"Hmm that's weird. You mean you used Fiery Explosion on a creature in the dungeon for example and it healed him?"
yes I really don't know what happened back then, its a bad bug dude

and your welcome! thanks for the rep, and sure, hope this map gets better!

 

[Vengeancekael]

What's with you guys healing the enemy units, but when I test it, it works properly.
Bah guess I'll have to rewrite everything.

Edit: You give the map 97 out of 100 in your review but you rate it 2/5?

 

[baassee]

Time to test this my friend. Haven't had the time until now. Let's see.

 

[ncommand-]

ya says map size is too big..

 

[MagiC_AntO.]

"Map size is too big " and what ? its for one player , Where is a problem ?

 

[XPQJ]

only suggestion I have is to change the voice's they sound as choppy as ventrilo binds

 

[Vengeancekael]

ya says map size is too big..

SPRPG - Single Player Role Playing Game

 

[Orcnet]

sorry with the low rating, the moment I make it higher it goes to negative so that's the only highest score I can give, sorry dude

 

[dead-man-walking]

Holy macarena phoney explodey pow pow ballooney. 51 freaking megabytes. This better worth the download and pagestretch or I'm gonna eat your newborns.

 

[Vengeancekael]

Did I mention that this map is 18+?

 

[dead-man-walking]

Did I mention that this map is 18+?

I guess not.

Who gives a rat's ass anyway?

Yep. Pretty certain you don't mention it anywhere. Prime Matron counted.

 

[Vengeancekael]

Ohohoho, porn scene in it.

 

[Orcnet]

^Vengeancekael
you really made a very, very disturbing game dude LOL!
^dead-man-walking
if you do play this, then your ears and eyes will never be the same anymore!

 

[-Kobas-]

I still expect to see some badass version
We will soon come to this map and once when we moderate it I would really like to rate it above 3/5

 

[Vengeancekael]

'we'? lol
Hmm maybe I should update this then.

 

[-Kobas-]

Map reviews group is alive once again, barathum or should I say ironside reported around 20 maps today

Oh and I deleted few posts above, please guys do not advertise other maps in people map threads, name will do, link NO.

 

[Vengeancekael]

There, some fixes, I don't have anything else to add.
edit: Offgraphic reported some bugs, map updated.

 

[Paliouras]

Nice map but 2 things:
the holy spell learnt before we enter vanaras seems to be bugged as it kills me instantly.
and i randomly died about 5 times when i entered the castle.so it's 4/5

Editlayed the new version now it's a 5/5

 

[Vengeancekael]

Oh
GOD DANG IT
Thanks for playing.
edit:

the holy spell learnt before we enter vanaras seems to be bugged as it kills me instantly.

Ah yes that was because of the bugged spell power system, which was bugged before v1.7, but it's fixed now, so I assume you had the old version.

 

[Paliouras]

oh ok.Thank you it was a great map anyway.

 

[rachter]

Hey my warcraft says this map file is TOO FUCKING BIG. please choose another one!......................uuuuuuuuuuuum what should i do to play it?

 

[Vengeancekael]

This is a single-player map, it cannot be hosted on battle.net or played on LAN.
If it still doesn't work in single-player, rename the file to something shorter.

K i removed the "P" from "TA1.7P" and somehow it worked thanx for the help

 

[defiled]

havent read previous comments.
Map weight is over 50 (!) mb and what have i found: 3 (only three!) items to buy, i dont count potions as useful items with these overpowered abilities, a couple of quests, a couple of spells with no option to choose, lots of unused terrain. ive completeed this map in about hour.
improve your ideas, spend some more time in we and youll get a much better map to play.

 

[Vengeancekael]

Woah people are still testing this
As for the 3 items, I didn't let the player buy too many items, because I wanted him to explore for secrets and find items in the world. There are at least 2 hidden items. And there's even 2 in the camp, right in the center.
As for quests, no, I did not make that many side quests, because I wanted to make a more story driven RPG and mostly focus on the main quest.
Yes the abilities may be ovepowered with the special orbs, but I seriously thought it was still a challenge against the bosses
Thanks for testing!

 

[The General]

i watch a video and it reminded me of what happened in fable 3 at the end

 

[Vengeancekael]

And what exactly happened?
