Welcome to hive! I will help you with teseting/feedback if you wish.

I can't download the file. It says not found.

I am currently experiencing technical difficulties with various websites.

I attached the beta release to this message. Please let me know what you think.

looks a bit hard for a first map

 

[Hetgrum]

I see no point in trying to impress people with something they had already seen numerous times. Therefore, I throw a player straight into the action. People play this game for glorious carnage anyway.

I can make it easier, but not by a lot. Do you want weaker waves? More time to spare in between waves? More time to deal with reinforcements? Maybe make Dark Recall cheaper to use? Or buff Invitation?

barely any time at the start to build your defenses

 

[Hetgrum]

I will make the computer enemies slightly weaker.

Looking for modeller: Pillar; Building model; Custom mesh, simple animations, standard textures.

Beta 10 attached to the thread.

Posted the campaign: Pit Lord

I got it to half the quality I wanted originally. I myself would rate it 3/5. Mediocre, but occasionally enjoyable, to sate nostalgia.

Version 3.
Changelog.

1. Replaced first three spells of Pit Lord with new ones.
2. Fixed bug with optional quest in second map. Now only civilians count as sacrifices. Changed the reward also.

---------
I am working on a new campaign. I am not sure if I should fix this one any more.

 

[Hetgrum]

Found a bug. Good thing I didn't submit it yet.

 

[Hetgrum]

I lost snippets for the spells I made for version 3. I inserted the spells into the campaign with "include" insctruction. So now they exist only in obfuscated form. This hinders me from updating the campaign.

Maybe I will overcome or write the spells from scratch.

I also think I found a way to actually program the wizards in the first map to defend the archmage, as was originally intended, and not have preset outposts.

 

[Mechanical Man]

that's unfortunate

 

[Hetgrum]

I managed to recover spells after all. Also updated the wizard's AI. First mission should now be a bit easier. If you find bugs, let me know here.
