Report, edit, etc...Posted by OnDeMa on 2005-04-25 at 17:59:30
I once started a map dedicated to the glory of Zoids a long time ago, however my passion for map making shortly died and the in progress ZOIDS RPG was lost.
I'm looking for any Zoids fan or perhaps people willing to pick up this, in my opinion, brilliant idea and make a map worthy of the Zoid legacy.
Based on the Zoids Saga: New Century
Note* This is a very basic outline.
Overview:
- 1-4 Players
- Players choose from 1 of 4 teams (Backdraft, Blitz, Champ or Fluegel as examples)
The map would contain several different colosseums, each having a different theme.
Players would traverse the maps in their respected teams Transporters (Hover Cargo or what not)
Each player would roam the world map in the transporter and have a seperate area allotted as the inside of the transporter where the Zoids assigned to the team would reside.
The players could then enter the arenas and would be seeded in a tournament in which they would have to defeat 3 different teams in order to clear the Arena.
This would work by computer enemies being created in the arena and the Zoids in the respected players Transporter being moved to the battle area.
There is also room for PvP fights which could take place by bringing two different Transports to a PvP beacon as opposed to the Tournament beacon.
Money would be gained through winning tournament or PvP battles, the money could then be used to upgrade the zoids or buy a new Zoid.
Each starting Zoid would have their own path in their evolutions, and some would have the option of choosing different modes which they could change their Zoid into.
These upgrades could be purchased in various stores throughout the map and certain upgrade could only be purchased after receiving enough fame (winning enough tournaments.)
The goal would be to ultimately complete the final battle which would pit all of the Players against a common enemy assuming that all players have completed the neccessary battles.
Story would be revealed through tournament battles and towns which the Players could visit.
I once thought this could be a great map and I still do! I have neglected many details so please ask if you are confused.
Even if you don't know Zoids, (I myself haven't watched the show in years and have forgotten all but the main characters) google it, it's a fun cartoon and definately shows some potential as an RPG map.
If anyone is interested in doing this map please post and I will provide more details on what you need to know. I'm also quite willing to provide story, guidance and my insight on the map if someone decides to pick it up. I've always wanted to see this map made and will dedicate time making sure it lives up to standard!
This map is a simple Action/Strategy RPG in SC map standards... nothing more. It shouldn't have a flashy system, just one that works. The map is focussed on immersing the players in the world of Zoids, and overall giving a fairly lengthy, but fun experience (with, might I add, good replayability!). Not giving seizures or setting records for most code executed in 3 seconds.
Just thought I'd lay that out in the open...
