Thats better . Well nice outline man. INteresting of how you put things. Quite the interesting tale i must say. Good luck on finishing this.. it seems intesting enough and i also like the title.


Also when you say Single Player does that mean that its 1 player or played in single player.. lol.

What?! I'm assuming that you'rer not planning on playing this in open B.net games...

yea for real. thats huge...how can you get somthing to be that big? especially for a map .

I make good music.
If this was played on bnet, the lag would kill everyone.
When I say single player I mean the only human player is you. And only you. Which means just you.
This map should be played on an empty Direct Cable or modem Multiplayer game.
BTW: If i wanted to really let myself go music/sound wise, this map would be around 80 MB.
Also, i think I will try my hand at some sexy terrain.

This has one of those storylines that just seems to make people want to play. However... Are you just some person that decides to become Evil or good and take over the place? Or is there some background to your person.

Im sorta undecide on that point. The unknown joe idea gives a better range of imagination for the player, but the guy with a past offers more storyline ideas. I think I'll give the character a name, but thats it.
Note that this is still very early in the stages of development.

Good outline on this, good luck on this map.

(What ever happened to Mansion?)

For real did you ever finish that? I would like to see it if your done. And good luck.




???

Snipe that answer is obvious... No games should be played in Single Player because it puts the timing off alot... Its 1 Player

Yah, Post that when its finished, gl wid it

Very nice storyline. Watching for some ss's !!!

Mansion is on my "Do it later" rack. I may dip into it once or twice. Having multiple maps in production really motivates me more. Don't worry, a trailer for Manison is in the works as well.
I've already got a bit done, although I need a bit more time before I can post a decent screenie of the opening town.

New screenies added, be sure to check them out!

Ok, so there's a bunch of trees doodads in the middle of bridges and on sides of cliffs (oh right, and those bunkers)... are there more on actual gameplay?

Well if you want an outline on the actual area, I''ll give you one [spoilers=minor]The town is a neutral town that has ben burned in the crossfire between good and evil, called Dorrwindale. You begin on the bridge, awakening. The town around you is burning (needs to be added), and on either side of you there are two important areas of Dorrwindale- Dorrwindale Castle and the Pit. Dorrwindale Castle's outline is not sure yet, all i know is it is a stronghold for the forces of good.
The pit it an odd crater-like geological formation. If you are wandering here, you will be caught by a guard and escorted to the secret entrance, which teleports you to the inner stairs. The inner stairs lead up and down- down into the bottom of the pit (behind the cliffs), or on top of the cliffs. The top of the cliffs is basically like the top of a wall- a defensive formation. The pit is where you go first, and where you are introduced to the local captain, which begins a quest. (at this point im think of a quest to go get reinforcements). There are several points of interest here, a mercenary captain, an armory, a chemists, and a merchant's store. This pit is also set as your TP destination.
Joining the Evil in the Pit gives you a small amount of evil points.
There are two choices- to go and fetch reinforcements or to wait on the wall. If you do not go ttom find reinforcements, the defenders of the pit will be overwhelmed and you will be forced to join good and switch sides.[/spoilers]
The pit willb be sieged by killing a strong unit or building represnting the health of the gates. Then the good forces will be free to enter the stair, and then the top and the pit.

Town portaling will be done using Arbiters and a simple move, as well as a nice center-location action that saves your position in the dungeon/wilderness.

Yeah, sounds nice and all, but there was an RPG I never finished, (The Blue), which had pretty much the exact same idea for the story, but less concise. Still, I'd like to see the idea get finished, since I could never really get to working on it. Still, can I at least have credit for the story you blatantly plagiarized?

I don't remebr the story for that RPG, it's probably a coincidenece. But link the thread and I'll see how close it is...

The story has these parallels:
1.Disruption of balance
2.Six planes/dimenison thingies.
I don't think "disruption of balance" counts as your idea, the six planes i did because of the title there had to be an even number originally for balance between light and darkness, and Neo Fifth didn't sound right, Neo Third didnt either, Neo Ninth didn't, so it became Neo Seventh.
The storyline is actually pretty different, yours does not contain refernces to a main theme in mine: two opposite forces. Also, your storyline takes place in a peacetime setting, and with more advanced tech., mine is in a fantasy/medieval world, and in a basically wartime/chaos setting.

So I'm not even going to get any credit? I mean, you even posted in that freakin' thread.

So?
Your story has very little relevance to mine, but yeah I'll put this down:
Minor storlyine inspiration- Wilhelm.

20 megs and single player..... You're going to have a small audience. *shrug* suit yourself
