Some of you might remember my map The Necromancer from way back. I've been working on a sequel for quite some time, and I'm really excited to share the pre-alpha with you. It's a simple test build that lets you and as many as three other players stomp around an arena filled with enemies.
What I desperately need at this stage in development is feedback. If you have an idea for a feature or a mechanic that should be in the game, tell me! If you notice a bug or a glitch, no matter how minor, tell me right away! I want to make the best map possible, and I can only do that with your help!
[FEATURES]
- Every player character has their own hero with unique abilities and minion types. You can summon up to 10 minions from the dead bodies of your enemies.
- 4 player co-op! Play alone or with friends and decimate your enemies! [NOTE: at this stage, all players can control all player units, so don't play with people who are dicks. In the final version, this will not be the case.]
- Upgradable minions! You can upgrade your minion's health and armor as well as unlock a special a unique special ability.
-All players share upgrades! Be the MVP of your team and supe up the whole gang's minions! This feature turned out to be impractical. Instead, every player now has their own upgrade Nexus.
- Endless enemies! After you've cleared the map of foes, player 1 may type in the code "-respawn" to create even more enemies for you to fight! Theoretically, you could play this map forever and ever!
- Gold coins drop cash for every player. Money made from kills or selling items will only affect one player.
[STUFF I WANT TO IMPLEMENT IN THE FINAL VERSION]
- Dynamic Difficulty. The game should get easier or harder depending on how many players are logged in. If a player quits prematurely, the players should get some kind of compensation, including control of their abandoned units.
- Players should possibly be able to choose which hero they play ala Dota. Alternatively, heroes could be locked to certain players but have full dynamic dialogue and interactions.
- Bosses. Much like my Scarlet Crusade map, the players would fight off tons of different bosses and eventually when all were dead a final, ultimate boss that, when defeated, ends the map or simply just gives the map a technial win condition.

Pre-Alpha V3.0 (Final) July 21st 2018
Previous Versions
Pre-Alpha V2.0 June 19th 2018
Pre-Alpha v1.0 June 15th 2018
The newest version is the final update of the test build (not counting hotfixes) and it includes more enemies! It also gives a little peak to who the main enemies in the final map will be. Demons, corrupt guards and mad cultists stand in your way, more than ever and stronger than ever before! You may need to use teamwork to take 'em down!
Also, heroes now have better icons and so do your abilities.
