[Arena] Zombie Arena

[TheWhiteWolf]

First off, I'd like to thank you for even taking time too look at this thread. I guess I wouldn't I mean, 'Zombie Arena' ? Seriously?

Well, yeah, Zombie Arena. But it's not like any other arena here. It's very inovative. Although this version is very simple, I'm posting it just to be sure that no one steals my idea. Yeah, I'm kind of paranoid

So, here we go now:

Version: 0.03

What makes this arena so special? Look at it's features!

Features

1. Advanced inventory system: maybe I didn't make a full 3D inventory, but normal inventory is more than enough for this map to work; you can equip armor, helmet, boots gloves and weapons; weapons are generally divided into two groups: One-handed and Two-handed; you can dual-wield one-handed weapons; my system will automatically regulate your weapons and add you abilities depending on the hand you are wielding weapon in;
2. Custom combat system: maybe not so innovative at the moment, nothing you haven't already seen; you don't have a normal attack, but abilities instead, and they include melee, ranged and special attacks and blocks.
3. Dismemberment system: every time you get hit, my system calculates the part of your body where you got hit; there are four areas: Front which is the widest, being 120^o wide; Left and Right, each being 90^o wide, and Back being only 60^o wide;
if you get enough damage on left or right side, you will lose an arm; YEAH THAT'S RIGHT! An arm flies off and your model actually loses an arm; therefore, you can't use it anymore xD
4. Blood'n'Gore: this map is full of blood and gore, so if you find it disgusting, don't bother trying it

Bored with the text? Here are some screenies!

• Weapon Arsenal
  
• Mace and Katana
  
• Sniper
  
• Rondache without Left Hand
  

Look at the arsenal of weapons.

• Mace
• Cleaver
• Katana
• Wakizashi
• Chainsaw
• Machete
• Odachi
• Tetsuba
• Naginata
• Pistol
• Sub-machine Gun
• AK47
• Shotgun
• Sniper
• Rondache
• Buckler

And this is only a beginning
Btw, you might need to restart the map a lot

Important!!! This map is in early alpha stage, so don't expect much from it!

Tried your map.
Bugs I found:
Mechette doesn't deal any damage.
Suggestions:
Well for some one-handed items cooldown is pretty long and long casting time, you should lower it I think.
Add hotkeys, because now clicking is pretty boring and uncomfortable.
Died twice, had to restart, so you could add a simple respawn system.
I liked your third system, but if many units attack its pretty spammy needs improvements.

Overall for now its pretty nice I like combat system, because got almost same system in my AOS map which im making at the moment. Inventory is pretty awesome too thinking of copy from you of course if you allow me(credits will be given ofc).
ALSO when my arm flied off I was like WTF?!

Will look forward!

Thanks for the feedback, mate. I fixed the Machette bug

Btw, quick update:
Added beatiful weapons made by Red (Katana, Wakizashi, Tetsubo, Naginata and Odachi). Soon, I will start making armors, helmets, boots and gloves. All of these weapons are very powerful, and will be available only if you have a whole Samurai Armor set equipped (which includes chest, head, feet, hands). In next update, I will add chain and ranged weapons

Write keybindings in the spell name, for the drop item system, mabye you can make it so you can display the name of the item instead of one, two, etc. Makes it much easier to know which item is what if you don't know the location ID for the inventory.

One idea would be to add some sort of blocking ability, for example, if you equip a shield, you gain a spell that would reduce damage taken for 99% for a short period of time. This adds more skill to the game so you have to time if something is attacking you.

The systems look awesome, waiting to see the terrain!
Btw the zombie hunter's skin looks more like a zombie, but that's just my opinion.

I already made a shield, I am currently making ranged weaponry (guns), and I'd like to finish them first
About the shield: activated on cast, blocks frontal damage ONLY, but can also be used as a weapon
About inventory: I am trying to keep everyhing simple, so I am using a single dialog for all players. Anyway, I think pretty much everyone knows how Inventory ID works

Yeah, I don't really know why I named him Zombie Hunter... He's actually supposed to be a zombie xD Will change the name, instantly

Having you arm cut is an awesome feature:

Arm Cut off

The Equipment system is simple but neat! I like the variations of weapons you included! and also that you can't equip 2 handed weapons if you have 1 arm^^

You could:

• Add "A" as hotkey to all attack abilities?
• Give the map a name?
• Balance? too hard to kill footman
• Reduce cooldowns of attacks? they just seem to long >_<
• Make a simple respawn system (for testing purposes)
• Add Tomes\Spellbooks that give spells like Firebolt etc. IMO making skillshot-based spells would be a lot better

subscribed, good luck

Thanks for the feedback, mate

• Could change the hotkey to A... Though it's more likely that I will change them to good ol' Q, W, E, R, etc.
• Will rename the map into Zombie Arena
• I'm still making systems and weapons... Footmen are there only to chop your arms off
• Not sure about the cooldowns...
• Respawn? Nah, restarting seems fine
• I will add lots of weapons in next version, including 3 shields and 5 ranged weapons. Ranged weapons are Pistol and Sub-machine Gun (for one-hand), AK47, Sniper and Rifle (two-handed). I will also add the chain weapon, which will be kinda similar to Pudge's Meat Hook.

Has anyone noticed that you can get both arms cut off?

 

[fang__00]

Damn!! i was just about to do the arm cutting off in my map also, no, really!
See high potential of this map!
The dogable manual melee attack is awesome
Keep it up

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

Finished ranged weapons (AK47, Shotgun, Sniper, Sub-machine Gun and Pistol) and shields (Buckler and Round Shield), just a few touch-ups and I will post the new map and improve first post

 

[xorkatoss]

hmm it's been some time since i checked this thread, I tested out the weapons and the shields, don't you think weapons should deal more damage than swords etc? also gj on the shield blocking part^^

Shield Idea:
Spikeshield: Deals 10 damage back to the attacker

 

[Da Fist]

Can I suggest that this should have the land mines? The bombs! Like, Claymore, Anfo ( did I spell that one right? ), and most importantly

Rooting for this one. It's cool and unique ( and hey, make the legs destroyable too! )
