The Nightmare (Demo)

The Nightmare explores the story of the Emerald Nightmare's initial appearance, as experienced by the Night Elves. What is the Nightmare's purpose? Why does it target the elves?

Demo trailer:
The Nightmare is a fully voiced campaign featuring both real and AI voice actors, along with a wealth of custom assets and music.

This demo includes the story prologue and the first playable mission.

Co-created together with MedMapGuy

I've created a ton of portraits with custom lip sync, they are just plug and play so please use them if you wish but do give credit. There are also tons of WoW Night Elves doodads to use.

Quite a nice startup. Would be nice to see more scripted fights/gameplay mechanics. Approved. If you want more reviews, you should participate in the The Grand Review Exchange! R U L E S Site Rules Map Submission Rules M A P - D E S C R I P T...

Well, I have played it, and what I can say? I liked it from start-up to finish and waiting for a full campaign.
Some cinematic phrases have grammar mistakes, but that is not a big deal to check up on.
Good usage of music, a nice and smooth difficulty scale of gameplay, good simplified example of the boss fight directly from Vanilla WoW.
One question - why our enemies are Forces of Lethon, if he does not even figure in the demo? Maybe call them Green Dragonflight or Forces of T****r?

Which sentences have grammar mistakes exactly? The forces of Lethon will prob be renamed, Lethon is the leader of the all the invading green dragons but I might come up with something better.

Looks promising. Is this during Legion or is the story somewhere else on the timeline?
From what I see, it is loosely based on "Stormrage" by Richard Knaak (mostly only topic) and self-imagination. It's canonical that Fandral decided to create Teldrassil after WC3 and the whole motivation of Fandral is written in this book - IMO from what I see from the demo.
 
Wonderful, the map is really well made, wanna see more ! good continuation ! :thumbs_up:
(just the boss at the end, idk, all units are on it and there is not rly things to do during the fight or maybe it's me ^^)

Big thanks for music :ogre_kawaii:
And thank you for the amazing music :) :)
I probably chickened out making it a bit too easy 😅 it was much harder in earlier builds and you had to strategize to win but I didn't want to have too many lose in a demo. Maybe I will update it if people want to see the demo harder.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION
  • A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
  • A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
  • Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.

Realy liked the map, its well made and the story for now looks good, actually liked the new spells for malfurion and tyrande, never seen that aura from malfurion and the first spell from tyrande, the only thing i find weird is the boss fight maybe give us control of the allies idk
