I'm telling you here and now, that you need to go further into your map's storyline. What you gave us just isn't enough,

QUOTE

Story outline:
A diabolic event is about to happen again that has happened long ago. Everything is bound to be doomed until a brave son of a heir is willing to challenge the unknown. He and his allies will attempt to stop this diabolic event before it happens again.

Also, are their any characters? If so post about them I'm interested.

I think instead of just giving us screenshots and limited information about the map you could expand this thread a lot more. There are a lot of things you've left out that we could use to better understand the map.

I like RPG's for the most part though, so I look forward to playing this when completed.

ADDED: I found a good example of the detail I was looking for in your map here: Detailed RPG Thread
His detail in that thread on characters and such gave me a good idea and set a good gaming mood for the map and made me want to play it that much more.

Just some thoughts.

Haha. I am very glad that this subject got relooked at(thanks to me

) Anyways, I think you should try his demo first. I got it and it totally pwns. Forget about a few things he forgot to post the map itself owns. And I hope he continues working on it. GL Shadow!

Edit#1: Oh BTW I also played his prequel to the map. It also owns and they will both compliment each other. I can not wait until they both come out. How soon Shadow, How soon!?

The story outline is just a short summary for the demo so far and to not reveal much of storyline or anything to build some suspense. So this map is still being worked on. When more is done, more info will be added. There is a main character and 2 sub characters. They are also on my first post.
On a side note, I am also planning on making this map as a series, so I am also working something like a prequel to this.

This seems like a really cool idea

Well, that puts it in perspective for me. I was just noting that I didn't feel there wasn't enough information to adequately inform us about the map.

I hope it comes out well.

I think the demo was perfect and it told quite a bit of the story line how you were sent to the town to save it but you were to late and 2 acryn warriors (warror and sorcerer) help you in your travels?

I think the storyline is very well thought up and i am wondering how much of the map you have done

Try Playing it again with more people so you can see the entire Demo, you missed alot of cool stuff.

No, at that point I hadn't been able to access a computer that had starcraft installed on it. I will be installing it today when I get home though.

the comment wasn't directed at u fortune...but i guess it doesnt matter....

I Just beat the demo without the help of Shadow, it was quite fun playing with firstime players. They were wondering alot more about the story and what not, and what will be our goal of the entire game. I want to say once more to shadowlash, Great Job.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Kyuubi. on 2005-03-18 at 20:05:54

Heheh, I will make a prequel to this. I have already started a bit of the terrain, the spell systems, and some other stuff. But I am going to finish Shadowlion first before the prequel. I have added more since the demo.

I would also like some suggestions on the current demo to some of my new ideas. You know some the spells that uses a mana timer, right? I was planning on putting an option to deactivate it whenever you want but I think they're might be some bugs and glitches if I add that. For an example if they deactivate it, theirmana would regen again, but heres the thing. They can activate a thing like the auto-barrier at 20 mana. But when it drops down below 20, they can deactivate it , then it rises up to 20 again, and they can keep doing that. I think this would be pretty cheap.

Ok I'm working more on my map now. I'll post more updates and stuff later.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by TheOddAngel on 2005-03-18 at 20:09:31

I say you have it use say... 28 mana and at the end of that it auto deactivates
If they cast it with 20 mana it will burn until it gets to 0 and then deactivates Ect...

That would be a good idea...

Personaly I would wait and after your map has been a success on SEn and everyone loves it then post screenshots and stuff about the Prequel and stuff that way everyone will be like

OMG A SEQUIL OMG ITS GONA ROCK!!!ONONEON!NO!NOn1ON!
there fore having a huge hype

Hope that Helped

Shadow in my map Vampires Tainted Blood I use the shield thing and deactivating it does no problem as long as you make it cost initial mana so they can't be cheap and keep on turning it on and off.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Kyuubi. on 2005-03-19 at 01:52:31

The initial cost of auto-barrier is 20 mana. Would this idea be any good... If they have 25 or more they can deactivate it. The 5 extra mana seconds might help make it more fair because they can't deactivate it less than 20 and it will give it a little more time before it can start up again. There will be other mana-counter using spells and they can only be one activated at a time and I think maybe the deactivating option might not be there. I am still working on this map so if I come across any better ideas, I'll add them in. Suggestions on it are still welcome.

Chronicles of Suntar On hold

On Topic: Are you going to have enough ground units for spells shadow?
(Since u use dropship spell system you need to use small ground units right?)

Report, edit, etc...Posted by StarmanJr. on 2005-03-22 at 16:20:25

You can make auto barrier just use up a certain amount of mana before it starts subtracting. For example, you need 20 mana to use it, and when you do, it subtracts 5 mana to go to 15 and starts doing the countdown thing. It's kind of like how cloaking for ghost works. 25 to start it off and then it starts going down. This way, turning it on and off would waste it.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Kyuubi. on 2005-03-22 at 17:04:39

Yeah I got a lot of ground units left to be labeled as spells.There are small and medium sized units like a vulture.
Thanks starman, that idea might work, but when you get more mana after leveling up the problem can start up again. But I don't know, I'll keep working on that.
