[center]Detrimental Alteration[/center]
Thanks to Killer_Kow[mm] for the name.
Basic info:
Tileset=Installation
Players=1 human (computers still undecided, likely to be 3 or 4)
Size=128x128
Genre=Action RPG
Storyline
You are Jared Richards. You awake in a small room. Suddenly, strange creatures start attacking you. You manage to fend them off, and then explore the complex you're in. Later on, you find out that you were part of some sort of an experiment, which gives you super powers.
Powers
These are my planned spells
Big Boom - creates a large explosion all around you (scarabs)
Distraction - Creates lots of hallucinations to distract enemies
Lightning - You get a templar that casts a storm
Rage - Temporary invincability
Summon - Summons 1 of 4 random creatures (broodling, dark templar, firebat, or archon)
Suggestions are welcome.
Progress
Terrain [progress]5[/progress] 5%
Ideas[progress]45[/progress] 45%
Triggers[progress]3[/progress] 3%
Screenshots
None yet, mainly because the map hasn't really been started yet.

It was rushed. I was about to go do some stuff, so I didn't have much time.
You later find out that you were part of some experiment, which gives you super powers. I'll redo the first post now.

Names I brainstormed:
Experiement #(Whatever number you wanted him to be)
Uhhh... I Need more Information!
Looks pretty cool, but if it were me I would change "super powers" to "mutations".

Me too, it seems like... Spider-man or Super-Man, they have "super-Powers" and screwy "-" that i hate to put in lot-of-words! Anyway, super seems like a map for kids of 5 years hold...Report, edit, etc...Posted by dumbducky on 2006-06-20 at 09:16:35
Fine, you don't have powers, you've been mutated.
Hows "The Failed Experiment" for a map name?

It's amazing how changing the name can all the sudden make a map's target audience 10 years older.
Seriously, I think it's just fine the way you originally planned it.

What do you mean, "the way you originally planned it"?
The only dfference is that you've been mutated, not been given super powers.

If its mutants just make it X-men on they way.
Heres some sort of idea. You are a mutant expirament that has failed and they now want to destroy you but now you have to rescue your other mutant brethern before they get destroyed and then reck havoc among the city.

No, I already have the storyline.
w00t, the intro is complete. So is the [color=red]Rage[color] power. I got to go now, I'll update the first post later.

You should include level-ups as you go along in the map to attain more HP and mutations.
Another thing I think could be interesting is to have the main character meet up with other test subjects along the way that have different powers. Maybe you could even include a system to switch between characters, while the characters in your party that you aren't controlling just use their normal attacks and follow you around.
I think you could make it even better by adding in problem solving mixed in, like things that you have to figure out to move on or choices that could get you killed if you make the wrong one. I'd like that better than if the whole map was just hack n slash. But that might be just me.

Sounds alright, but I'd like to know a bit more. What you've got there isn't really anything new...
And for a name, how about: Detrimental Alteration
Two random words coming together to provide you with a dramatic sense of what the map is about

I was thinking about level ups, I'm not sure if I will though. You will find other test subjects, but you will get to fight them. They will use their abilities during the fights. I will be adding some puzzle elements, I just have to decide where.

Screw it, I'm to lazy to work on this. I quit.
