Well how's that sound for a new RPG, any suggestions, feedback, critism. I'm open to all comments good, or bad.

well heres the map, finished.
[attachmentid=14541]

Sounds nice, but needs screenshots, or I can't tell if it's good or not...

sorry, but theres no fancy terrain, the map is only 128x128, but theres lotsa battles and the hero unit is blinded, i may make the map 256x256 but the sequel is, this is more of the introduction into the series

Reminds me of.. perfect dark!! ^_^!!! I bet thats what you were thinken of.

hmmm I like the sounds of it

What do you mean that every levelup will be different?
Could you tell us more about experience and leveling?

Sounds good, good luck

When can we expect a release date? Gota give yourself a deadline so you don't laze around

Oh, and post the technical details like terrain type, map size, number of players, length of gameplay etc.

Sounds tight. Hope it owns.

release date: sept 29th, 2005, my b-day

lvl up system: most games use leaderboards for exp and lvls, same here, except that the exp one is EXP TO NEXT LEVEL, plus, ea lvl-up givs a random amount of upgrade points; meaning 1st lvl-up may get 2 up points and 2nd lvl-up could giv 4 upgrade points then only 1 for the 3rd lvl-up


and no, i was not thinking of perfect dark when i made this, i was thinking of FF, the whole blind thing came from the 1st map test, although the battles are plentiful, ranging 1-6 seconds between battles, may change tho, i found you can cover the map pretty quik, so the blind part makes the town seem big and the world.


thnx, i do too

i did this with no help wat so ever, just logged onto b.net via desktop and laptop to test all 5 players

sequel may require help, such as terrainers, i hav about 1/6 of the map custom terrain(grid sqr by grid sqr) and it took 1 month for that alone, monster amount of triggers, plus the current map was more to test the concepts i had, sequel will bring many more features, airships, spells, boats, alot similiar to FF, hense the random battles...

hm, now for the technicalities as requested by screwed

jungle, 128x128, 5 players, gamepley varies, you can beat game at lvl 25 or you could level up to 50 and continue after beating final boss in FFA mode, or start melee mode after you beat final boss, lotsa secrets make game harder, ill tell you now, i will have secrets hidden in triggers that youll nvr figure out wit trigger viewer if u manage to view them, secrets in the terrain, lotsa random events, may add a lotto system. as im writing this, im thinking to myself, the sequel may take a while, this map has to stay fun until then, so im thinking of adding some custim terrain to this map... hmm... maybe i will, still open to feedback, feel free to post, i want you to

do you mean that you will make the upg points randomized? or diff for each level, also whats the different modes going to be like (like meele mode, FFA,) Well, sounds like its going to turn out good. good luck

upg points randomized, in other words lets take the 1st lvl-up, u play once and u get 3 upg points the 1st lvl-up, u play a 2nd time, but ur 1st lvl-up u only get 1 upg ponit, then u play again and ur 1st lvl-up u get a wopping 5 upg points, thats wat i mean

the diff modes, ahh, its a new idea, im preplacin stacked minerals and gas, then once u beat the game, u can play Melee* mode(normal starcraft) exept its melee with a twist, terrain remains same, caves and such work as if playin through the RPG, town is gone tho, minerals and gas placed on actual map, and u play as if u were playin normal melee, the FFA** mode on the other hand, everyone starts off in the same place, then whenever 2 players come in contact with eachother, they start to fight head to head, then after a set amount of time or when all players come in contact, the game finishes with a battle royal

Melee* - pretty much 90% chance of being in map
FFA** - if there is time it will b added, could have to rewrite triggers though

sounds pretty cool... i cant wait!

Yeah screenshots would be nice. Best of luck on the project though.

good news and bad news

good news, is i will have screenshots once ive got some of the custom terrain areas done

bad news is due to time conflicts and new glitches that arose after opening and saving map in SCMDraft 2, debugging put me behind schedule, and being in school doesnt help either, so the Release date may b changed, i may just release a melee version of the map without the rpg but with triggers for caves etc.

now the update, since the release date could be moved back, i'm also thinking of adding a trance, after all this map was inspred by FF

Trance: another unit, the hero version possibly, will b used and have batter upgrades
pros: -helpful in boss battles
cons: -using EUD's for every percent of hp when switching could b lengthy

thats a very interesting concept.. i would hope you finish this map ^.^ please don't make it to basic.. some Rpg's should just be called... Basic Rpg.. that would be awsome.

thnx for the compliment, well this is far from basic, gameplay includes items, seperate battle areas and random battles, random level-ups, exp to nxt lvl leaderboard, choose units at start, hp max for ea lvl, melee mode, now tell me that thats basic, just tell me and ur put in the map using EUD's so u get banned as soon as you, well it could happen, prob not cuz im too lazy to open up uberation when i protect it and add a few simple triggers...

Release Date changed to Oct. 10, 2005, from Sep. 29, 2005 (my b-day) due to glitches in triggering and balancing problems, it became like Overmind RPG, massive hard at start then way too easy. sorry guys

EDIT:
random battle triggers being tweaked, not much else to say except i may make the due date

finished yesterday, submitted, 4 ppl playued it on battle.net so it may pop-up, once approved here, its officially public

Good job. BTW, did you implement all the features you listed?

well, srry guys, but the vers that was released was bad, it only had battle triggers for player 1, and srry, but due to Editor switching, i was put bak 4 days, so some features wearnt implemented, but be sure in Stranded RPG 2 there will b all these features plus more, again srry, but atleast i back-up my map, it could have not been abcked up, then id b screwed... Did anyone actually look forward to the map, seriously, its a demo, so be truthful, plus no color, waste of time for the demo

Features:
- Items (Use, Give, Sell)
- Random battle (single player battling for up to 5 players at once)
- Banning (In case of noobs)
- Seperate enemies for each area
- Different characters (Balanced units, pros and cons for each)
- Levels (Experience, seperate hp per level)
- Interactive enviroment (changes throughout game)
- Custom sounds
- Never level up the same way
- Quests

plus the melee mode was cancelled, because triggers used in RPG mode interfeered, plus the units are unbalanced because they are used as enemies, but i will modify the map for melee play and reales as a seperate map

P.S.: Flame me if you want for not totally meeting the deadline, sorry

Yet another Rpg to add the the list of rpgs no one will play.

people will play, just cuz no color dont mean it suk, plus this is more the concept map to test for Standed RPG II

P.S.: i'm still accepting critisism in this topic
