Warcraft III - Fall of Draenor

[AIagremm]

Ogre: "Me not as think as you dumb!"
Plus I decided(thanks to lore) that our orcs will be brown.
Green orcs will only appear in the middle of the last campaign.

 

[dead-man-walking]

Orc: "Why are we going brown again (Referring to the Mag'har's skin)?!"

 

[AIagremm]

Draenei: "Better drown than brown!"
Orc: "Go blue yourself!"

 

[arthas_king]

Guys, lets stop the gag-madness and return to the topic... >.>

 

[dead-man-walking]

Actually, they are kinda thinking about quotes now.

 

[lightning brigade]

we hiring voice actors yet? Cause I think this should be voiced. The main problem is getting english speaking people on the forums. I happen to speak english(and i have a mic and a voice editing program) so I will help voice this mod should you need voices.

EDIT: I have an idea for a soundset:

Drainie worker: "Will work for light"
Drainie warrior: "The Naruu have granted me the power"
Drainie caster: "This light is my light, this light is your light"

The soundsets have to be filled with references and sometimes even jokes cause that makes the game more fun.

 

[AIagremm]

Ok, I have an idea about the trailers. Each(except the main one)will be talled by some important person, like Nerzhul, Velen, Gul'dan e.t.c.
They will be made using cinematics, but on a normal video format, you know.

*Dark screen. Slowly like through a fog you get closer to an orc standing on a cliff in front of Skeletal Coast*
"I am... Ner'zhul..."
Shows Nagrand and a bunch of shamans with Nerzhul.
"...Elder shaman of the orcs. We lived in peace..."
*Shows an orcish village*
"...free... in peace with the draenei"
*Shows draenei caravan in orcish village*
"Then ancestors spoke to..."
*Shows Nerzhul in a dark room in front of a spirit of an orc woman*
"They talled me about the treachery of the draenei, who plan to destroy us!"
*Shows Nerzhul in the same room with same spirit but this time with a transparent Kil'jaeden*
"Soon they introduced me to "the Beautiful One". He promised me to teach orcs way of warlock so that we would be able to defeat the draenei."
*Shows orcish warlocks*

"As he told me, I sent all of the orcs powered by the warlocks to destroy the draenei."
*Shows orcish hordes destroying draenei*
"But even then I was suspicious."
*Shows Nezhul at the coast again*
"I tried to talk to the ancestors, but they didnt answer. Slowly our powers over the elements began to fade."
*Shows shamans that try casting a spell but cant*
"Something was terribly wrong... I was intrigued by the bodyKil'jaeden, so similar to a body of a draenei. So I went to Oshu'gun - Mountain of Spirits to ask the ancestors"
*Shows Nerzhul in front of Oshu'gun*
"But as I entered... the ancestros greeted me as a monster"
*Shows him inside Oshugun, being "attacked" by spirits*
"They talled me that I was tricked! Draenei were innocent and I was fooled by the demons! I coulnt handle it..."
*Shows him leaving Nagrand and entering forest*
"I hoped to end that nightmare... but it was only the beggining... my protege Guldan joined forces with the demons"
*Shows Nerzhul in a library*
"I found out his terrible plans - to corrupt the orcs with demon blood!"
*Shows him warning two orcs*
"I warned Durotan of the Frostwolves and Orgrim of the Blackrocks..."
*Shows two chiefatins leaving a summit with a lot of orcs, Gul'dan and a pool of red liquid*
"But my actions only harmed them..."
*Shows Nerzhul at the cliff*
"Now after they've corrupted the earth itself, my former apprentice Gul'dan plans to open a portal to another realm! To let the bloodfirsty demons he turned our people into, to destroy and corrupt some other wolrd! I am Nerzhul... I am guily for the Fall of Draenor"
*Picture is slowly turning black and logo of the project appears*

I also planned same thing for Velen ^^

 

[lightning brigade]

Nice except it's spelled told not talled. Other than that I love it, pretty good if you ask me. BTW how would we make the cinematics in video format?

EDIT: Does your country have wowwiki? Cause that's a great place to find lore.

 

[AIagremm]

Yes, however its very small, so I always read English WoWWiki.
Its the source of mots of my lore knowledge... oh and thanks with told, I had problem remembering how its spelled for some time now.

I believe there are some programms that can be used to record what is happening on the screen. So you just make "raw" cinematic with stuff from the trailer, then put it all together and add sound in Movie Maker or some other programm.

 

[Troynl]

you can record what is happening on the screen with Fraps.

 

[AIagremm]

Fraps, huh? Now I remember I had a proffesional cinematic terrainer and cinematic maker somewhere...

 

[lightning brigade]

If you want a ui maker I think you should check out Garshillan He's currently working on demise of the death god. But when he's done he may want to help you with your UI, which, at the point you make it he may be done with demise of the death god.

 

[AIagremm]

Hey, I know Garshillah! I've been converstaing with him just today. UI maker you say?
Thank you! I will try to convince him.

 

[lightning brigade]

Check the post for his map, he and piwlady are making a map and I daresay it's pretty good. You should check the link as some of his work is pretty good and you can see it all firsthand in the pics piwlady put up.

 

[AIagremm]

Garshilan joined us! He already began making draenei UI, he's first WIP in FoD Group gallery. His ideas and work for draenei UI amazed me, I could even say blew my mind.

 

[Cthulus]

Yes, his work is great! He's a sure hit.

 

[lightning brigade]

I've done it! I have created the basis for a storyboard! I'll only continue if alagremm let's me but still, it's out there. I know it's a bit crappy, but I'll put some more work into it once Alagremm let's me know exactly what we are doing. Then I can redo the cinematic and put the storyboard in. Also Alagremm, if you happen to have any chat program you use, I think it would be better to share it with you personally rather than publicly. If you think otherwise, I'll just put the thing up here. I'm happy to help.

 

[arthas_king]

Guys, im sorry that i have been Inactive again, i have wor to do here but i will try to get as much as possible to the Hive, btw wow we have a UI maker!

 

[dab]

Whoop! I'm back after 6 motnsh of inactivity! :O My old PC crashed, so been a mess since that... couldn't find our files either :S Oh well, I'm here!

 

[AIagremm]

Hurray! Its great having you back, such a relief! ^^
We made some progress while you were gone.

 

[Cthulus]

Yeah, and now we have at least 1 new team-member (I don't exactly count anymore, which kind of sucks. I hate computer screens, they break too easily. My poor macbook..)

At least we've got dab back!

 

[dab]

^^ Yeah, good progress it seems

 

[AIagremm]

Soon FoD will rise! >

Sry that I didnt reply earlier. Interesting. Though you placed the camera wrongly so that I couldnt see what was going on with the ogres. But your work gave me an idea of making such short videos about our units like in some Star Wars movie where there were holographic presentations of different droids, ships and units. We can have something like that, demonstratung units abilities and stuff like that including lore about it.

 

[Cthulus]

Maybe something like spellcasters observing a battle from far away like that? You know like in the Star Wars movies, especially the last two, they did that a lot. An observer watching an epic fight, and seeing heroes and units use all kinds of abilities to fight each other? Tint some units blue and transparent, and a looooot smaller, and take away their shadow and you have a holographic-illusion unit!

 

[AIagremm]

No, I mean like...

Narrator: "Ogre Brute is a powerful warrior of ogres. This cast of warriors is liked by ogre lords. Can use bash."
All this time his aimations and abilities are being shown on Blade's Edge terrain(Nagrand terrain for orcs, terokkar for arakkoa, shattrath for draenei). In the beginning just circling the screen around him. Maybe also lore scenes.

 

[dab]

All sounds good. Anything i can be helping with?(Don't ask for too much, I'm gone for the next 5 days)

 

[Cthulus]

Oh yes, that sounds much better! That seems a lot cooler, and maybe with a wise, elder voice in the back, possibly Ner'Zhul. Or maybe a Draenei, although Ner'Zhul or any Orc would be cooler in my opinion.

 

[lightning brigade]

Anyways, has the campaign been started yet? I would love to help in making some of the maps, but I know that probably won't happen(I'm very good with single player maps, watch as I prove it by entering the contest) The main problem is that I never finish my maps. I have my maps backed to 2 comps(I have four in my family and I use my other family members comps to back up my stuff) so I always have a backup should one map go awry. Also, my current projects are usually on Flash Drives. So, ya I'm very organized with my maps. Anyways, to the point, I can help you with a lot of stuff. Anyways, thats my map making style. Also, I speak English so I can help you gather lore from wowwiki.

 

[AIagremm]

I already have 80% of the lore from WoWWIki in my brains
No the campaign hasnt started yet. We are still making core models.

 

[dab]

Outcast(even tho I'm not a voice actor) for the writing above? Thought it might give people an idea of what we want(?).

[Piwlady]

I'm looking forward to see screenies. I guess this epic size of project will have damn epic terrains.

 

[AIagremm]

I want to make a screen of "ingame" play, using only FoD models.

 

[lightning brigade]

The size of the combined models is going to suck. I mean the reason blizzard got away with their campaign is because they only used models from their game. We're playing with the models they created specifically for wc3. If you open up the mpq and look at the maps they have like no size at all because they're all using models that are in the base game. Even a mod can't change the max campaign size, can it?... Also, I can get all my friends together if you wanna voice the campaign. Between all my friends I can get who also have friends, and all the friends I can trick, we could have a lot of voice acting.

 

[AIagremm]

Well, since FoD will have its own MPQ, we dont have to worry about size. Mods dont care about their size, because mod is... mod.

Well, first we will have to voice melee units first, but right now we need to focus on the models, techtree and mod core.

Also, here is some info about orcish units:
Hunter(Light ranged unit with spear, сan be upgraded into Spearman) => Spearman(Ranged unit with spear)

 

[Bernkastel]

Btw.. I can make some voices too ^^ If you allow me to.

 

[Piwlady]

If Garshilan is going to voice act, i can maybe do some lil' too at Garshilan's house

 

[supertoinkz]

well, the voice act should be send privately, so dumblorz will not use em

 

[Bernkastel]

Possibly if getting something like an email of the FoD members could send them throught email ^^

 

[AIagremm]

Hm... intriguing. Also I have also almost completed alpha-version of the techtrees.

 

[lightning brigade]

I'm a teenager but my voice hasn't gone through puberty yet, so I edit my pitch on audacity. So, would you like a sample of my edited voice or my unedited voice?

 

[Bernkastel]

Well if i'm not going to be allowed to give edited voice.. Then i cant really make any voices ^^

 

[AIagremm]

Hm, I wonder if you can be used as arakkoa... can you say "SQUAK! For Terokk!" with squeky, bird-like voice?

 

[Bernkastel]

Well.. Atleast i have actually some times practiced making an: Ac-aaaw sound.. And well.. It goes somehow ^^.. So i could prob make some Arakkoa voices

 

[lightning brigade]

I'll give you a sample of an edited arakkoa voice, do you want it sent to your e-mail? Cause I've got aol messenger and it's been going to waste since my project team left an old project I was doing...

 

[AIagremm]

Yeah, send it on my e-mail.

 

[lightning brigade]

Except I don't know your E-mail...

 

[Bernkastel]

Aint this great.. I dont know where my mic is from my headset >.<

 

[Piwlady]

Not suprised, i don't think you can find anything from your room.
"Where is my oblivion and Fallout 3??"

 

[Bernkastel]

I found them though.. ^^

 

[Piwlady]

Yeah, and it took only one month or two
