Vigilance - Terrains

[Celaquil]

Ahoy, it's been a while since I made anything, at all really.

And since I love shocking all your little hearts, I'm here to tell you that I am making maps.
Yes, plural. In fact, I plan on making an entire campaign, which will be playable, and hopefully
beautiful. I'll give you all a moment to catch your breath.

The campaign I aim to make is a tower defence campaign, inspired by one of my favourite TD
games ever to be released on mobile devices, and now also on steam: Kingdom Rush. It will
borrow many gameplay mechanics from this game, but I'll do my very best to make my own
campaign stand apart from it as much as possible. I will be using this thread to upload WIPs
of the terrains as I make them, for feedback and such. (I will eventually make a thread in the
map development forum as well).

Link to the map development thread:

Subbed and marked!

 

[PrinceYaser]

I love the terrain. I will support this campaign as far as I can!

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

Keiji so special that he gets to post his map dev thread in Terrain Board!

Oh yeah, subba dubbed dubbed for first ever TD campaign in WC3 (with epic terrain).

 

[Kyrbi0]

You make things? Pffah.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

THIS... this is brilliant.... now your map and your screenshot on the other hand, they are pretty fantastic ;D

 

[Edge45]

Oh shi* from Kingdom RUSH! I frickin love that game!
I hope this one had ridiculous easters waitin'

Once again - thank you facebook. Almost missed this as well. Damn, I really am not as active as I used to be :/

Anyhow - this looks lovely - cannot wait to try it out. Really like the feel and aesthetics.

 

[Krakenn99]

Sweet!!! This is going to be awesome.

 

[Misha]

this is interesting I mentioned a few words of this to my bro, since he was playing kingdom rush a lot, and he said 'heck yeah'

hope you got enough time and will to make it, keiji

TD Campaign? That alone would be interesting enough, but you managed to pull out such a cool terrain for a TD - now it is even cooler.

So, it already looks beautiful. I'd go for another fog colour if I were you, as the current one is kind of boring and brings down the verdant beauty of the kingdom IMO. However that might be your intention, depending on the storyline.

Thanks for all the support so far guys, I haven't gotten too much time to work on this the last couple days due to holiday stuff.

But I imagine I will be able to work a little ore on it soon, I've already started terraining another level: VanCleef's Hideout (Westfall).

I agree about the fog, and I've already changed it for a pale yellow to bring out the happy go lucky style this first level is all about,
I've also added some few more details, but nothing enough to warrent another update. I will include some updated shots of the first
map when I post the next batch of WIPs

 

[fladdermasken]

Fuckshitjesus. This is a pretty cool idea.

Would probably never be able to see anything like this through. My modding bones are too weak.

Good luck, and clue me in on the progress whenever you can on Skype.

 

[Celaquil]

Second batch aport!

This time you get a sneak peek at the fourth stage: VanCleef's Hideout.

And as promised: I will update the main post with the latest version of screenshots of Northshire.

Also, if you find yourself frothing at the mouth and browsing for assassins to send my way because I didn't
represent Westfall the way you wanted me to, or the way it is in WoW, then I'd like to remind you that, as I
said in the map development thread, I retain my right to re-envision the world of Azeroth as I see fit.

I chose to go for a pirateish theme and tropical beach at the coast-side of this terrain for the sake of variation
and because I wanted to. Furthermore, I think it fits very well with the underlying pirate nature of the
Defias Brotherhood in general.

 

[Krakenn99]

This is so cool, really beautiful. How do you even make terrain like this!?

Keiji has Five terraining contest medals. It's common that he can build this beautiful terrains!

 

[Celaquil]

Here comes a new batch of WIPshots!

This time around they're a bit more on the raw side.

These are of the third stage, Westbrook Garrison, and I can promise
you WoW players out there that yes, yes this map will have a certain
special gnoll as the final boss

Because apparently the Garrison's Marshal didn't ask enough of my alts to kill him.

 

[Celaquil]

So uh... Are people still interested in this?

 

[fladdermasken]

You are awesome, you should continue this, etc.

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

You are Keiji, and you should continue awesome.

 

[Naze]

Well... I guess it is a normal thing that community response may not be overwhelming during project development, but ofc if you publish it I'll surely play it. Also screenshots of development are always noice and good.

 

[Heinvers]

Ting ting!

 

[xDeathKnightx]

I love this, really like the models you've used.

Looks like its going to be a ton of pathing blockers though if the map is playable.
