The Story of Van Eastmore

[sonofjay]

ADP made it, a friend from underground, its not really made for the project, but meh I can request to him anytime

 

[Situ]

Thats Great i am very exited of the quests, hopefully there will be some interesting one *G*

 

[sonofjay]

There will, my friend, bloodelf and the others made a good job on doing some interesting side quests and others, and I'm sure that the main story will also be good.

 

[Codric]

This is a great Idea.
Suporting...

 

[FRENGERS]

Terrain are so @.@ aMEWzing

 

[sonofjay]

Well, that was f*cking depressing, so the 1 month of silent progress ends because of you bumping the thread. Now I need to update it with the progress I made for the 1 month of silence.(Yes thread is silent but the progress was not)

Hows the game... waiting for it!

 

[sonofjay]

Well looks like I need to spoil it, well wait till I update the main post, everything that we worked on will be posted there.

 

[-Kobas-]

sonofjay you made nice map there. I can't wait to check map script and object data.
Care about imports, it's true that map size don't mater but if you can present almost same effects, with 50 MB less, why not...

Thanks for looking on the thread, but no worries, I'm compressing all the imports to bring down the filesize. might get it down to 20-30mb min-max.

 

[Chaosy]

thought you quit this project but seems not .

will be fun to see the map finished afterall

 

[sonofjay]

Nah we didn't quit, we keep progressing while not updating the thread. Hahaha, well bad luck that the *supposed to be new main character model* will not be use since the UV mapping was broken badly. Oh well, Krad is making his best to get something for the main character.

Again:

Sorry for not updating you guys, I was supposed to surprise you guys with a very long list of updates, but someone bumped the thread.

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Heya, can i be a beta tester?

 

[sonofjay]

You want?

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Yes!

 

[shinji]

When is this released?

 

[sonofjay]

Not yet, I'm currently working on a swamp terrain if you wanna know what I'm currently working on, I'm gonna update the OP anytime soon with a very huge update.

But the swamp terrain(no name yet) contains hostile mobs from lvl 15-25

 

[FRENGERS]

I like swamp!! Never thing to make swamp Nice ideas you got it

 

[Arcisal]

Is there any more news on the storyline? Right now, it seems pretty vague other than your family slain by this [insert series of complicated vowels to form a ridiculous "fantasy" name] Empire and you simply rise to the "top"?

 

[FRENGERS]

The Story are 6/5
Go to his website SonofJay.wix.com

Went there. Led me to another bunch of random links. Finally got this. which is the exact same thing on the first post.

If that really is your overarching story, you should reconsider the direction of this project.

 

[sonofjay]

I believe we know the direction of this project, I just don't know why we need to reveal more of the story, isn't that suppose to be discovered in the game? But if you insist then I might reveal a small thing of it.

The thing that we put on the thread might too simple and over used but are you sure that it is all we have in our pocket?

 

[Arcisal]

And you are sure your story is even moderately good? You wouldn't want to revamp the entire thing if you suddenly receive a bad response from players about the story. That's exactly why you should release at least a considerable amount of story before releasing the map itself. From what I read, I only know you have barely any family left and you want to reach the "top"?

If you've already developed your map to the point of no return, then I'll simply say good luck and pray that you've centered your map around a good story. The least you could do right now is give a better description for each of the other characters.

Okay, I'll post the story of the map, but its hard to revamp at this point, thanks and I hope to see your feedback when we reveal the story. I'm pretty confident on this though, and the only thing I can tell at this moment is, the game is not driven by the story of the main character, but the events happening on the world.

 

[Arcisal]

So...

Where did you post it?

 

[FRENGERS]

But you still work on this ?? Not cancel it??
OT: Oh NO!! Underground are dead Y.Y!! SO sad

 

[sonofjay]

About the Underground, well yeah.. Brett decided to close it, thing got rough to use after the Alpha hacking shit.

@Arcisal, updated the thread, just look under The Lore.

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

I see no information about the Devantia and Vexta Empire. Its like they come out of the blue. All I saw in the start was Gourlan and Dehouthar. The story for me is very broad and unclear. No info of the previous events that took place.

Widen it up, would you?

 

[sonofjay]

... mind checking Prince Helvin's Info? and Vexta is the continent its not an empire. Somehow, this still follows the old story of the old TSoVE(if you know its old story and its old title is, Van Eastmore: Battle for Vexta).

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

You should elaborate on that on the story part.
To make it more clearer and such.

Dont expect lazy people like me to read those info *evil laugh*

 

[sonofjay]

so basically, this is how the swamp looks like. Of course any suggestion is welcome since i'm having a hard time making the swamp good.

Here is a in-game screenshot.

EDIT:

About the tree. does it fit?

 

[FRENGERS]

That Trees are so ugly!!
Use high resolution
Well nice for it!!
It just the tree!!

 

[sonofjay]

So, yeah, I should change it to another, but there are no real fitting for a swamp terrain, gonna find some though, its the light green tree right?

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

High resolution doesnt fix everything.
Make it a bit more flooded and wrecked-ish.

 

[FRENGERS]

It should use Beringin Tree

Beringin Tree

 

[shinji]

When do I get to play the beta version of this?
