Heh, sounds interesting.

Although I think it might throw off some players due to bounds aren't that popular anymore.

Seems like Bound Defense, if you need a tester PM me.

I dont understand... Have you been on b-net lately? sure, there aren't very many on, but there still up there.



I think i'm good with testing it myself, but if you insist we can set up a session. I'm on USwest wtih my same name(Jello-Jigglers). Tell me when you want to do it(probably in a week or so sounds good. I don't have any of the preliminary triggers up or anything...)

Sounds interesting, if possible, can I test too? I'm pretty good at bounds.

And who says bounds aren't popular anymore? I play those games more than anything else!

Word. sure you can test. You, Zell.Dincht, and I will set up a time in about a week to test this puppy out. If you have any ideas(bounding obs or anything), just post here or pm if it's secret.

Just wondering, how do you like the title page? eh, pretty flashy I thought.

ADDITION:
Updates:

-Added Screenshot to title page.
-Minor Trigger Work.
-Major Idea Development.

ADDITION:
Just got a new idea. I'm going to have 3 sub levels of equal difficulty(or as close as possible) for each of the 10 levels. Once the player has chosen which of the 10 levels he/she wants, one of the 3 sub levels will be chosen at random for the player to complete. This way, players won't get the same level every time. Tell me what you think.

I like the middle terrain at the top. But others need a little working on. This reminds me of bound defense. Well i hope you do better than the original one

well it's not bad. It seems interesting, been done but it's a good choice. If you do this right it could be fun. Make sure you post some screenshots asap.

he does have 1 screen shot

Sounds very fun.

I revamped all of that. I didn't know there was an origional... oh well...


I just updated the pictures have a looksee. I'm hoping to make this a pretty tight knit map.


Nothing near the complexity of cd, but it should have some enjoyable aspects.

Updates:

-Terrain Fixed
-Almost all locations are named and in place
-Updated Map overview
-Added Close-ups

Screen shot of updated terrain plz

It's up and Running on the title page.

It is bound defense! But sexier ;D In a way its keeping the game style alive. Plus it sounds interesting to try since the 2nd bound defense is just half assed, while this one has lives and the whole shebang. If you need ANOTHER tester go ahead and ask, I'm usually always open, unless i've taken the liberty to work on my own map

hmmm... it seems everyone knew about this bound defense except my... well, hopefully i dont dissapoint.

(ps. my mom took my key board so my proress is limited. it sucks using the on screen keybord...)

ADDITION:
I just got another idea that I can still go for. So far, there is a top and a bottom where you can place your guys to defend. If you want to switch it, you use an overloard and transport it manually. I was thinking that there could be a little platform where you could drop off guys onto and if you got a certain combination(say ten marines), it would turn into a super unit(say jim raynor). Then each unit would have its own for of super unit(kinda like aliens vs humans if you ever played it). Tell me what you think.

Seems like its exaclty like bound D 1 and 2

This sounds all good. Just please create some really cool features that you wouldn't expect.

E.g:
Powerups on the bounding stage that you can collect for help in the defense stage.
such as
- slowing down units = easy to do
- kill all? (a unit that when deployed -maybe seige tank- kills all on screen)
- extra life
- freeze units

Spice it up a bit. It doesnt have to end when you think you've finsihed it. You can always add some more...that's what I've found anyway.

Good luck and if you need any help I'll be happy to give some.



P.s. you can keep the name as long as this bound rules

Is Bound D1 and D2 in the dldb(i guess ill find it myself lazy me.) Maybe if I take a look at that, then I can know what has already been done. Thanks Grizzly(B2BF).

ADDITION:
I just checked the Dldb, but I dont think it was in there... There was a Bound Defense, but I dont think thats the right one, let me go check it out and if its not the right one, can some1 please post v1 and v2 of bound defense.

ADDITION:
ok so that was the right one. Wow its pretty good. I like the effects with the bunker and all. Anyways, mines going to be a lot different.

Pros(in my opinion):

-Bound Difficulty Choice
-Multiple Tries
-Timed Bounding
-Life Choice(Bounding & Defending)
-More Units to Choose From
-Non-Arena Bounding(I dont like those things )
-30 Different Levels
-Random Sublevels
-Super Units
-Solo(vs team)


Neutral:

-Same Idea
-Different Tileset
-Smaller Map Dimensions
-Upgrades

Cons:

-No sweet Bunker Effects
-No Auto Unit Purchase and Transport(each thing you buy comes from a building and you have to choose which side it goes on, upper or lower)
-Smaller Defending Area(16x2 vs like 200x2)


Overall, I dont think Either will be better or worse, just different.

All of the 'pros' are my uber ideas. There are others, but you'll have to wait and see .

When do you think the map will be finished?

You can make tips, or "skip current bound" powerups!

Im thinking by august 20th ish. That isn't going to be anywhere near the real time of release, but I think I'll throw it out there so you get an idea.



Good ideas. tips.. never thought of that.

Also, I was thinking about doing things like mini games for extra money.

Good Luck man sounds like you're on the right track with your "uber" ideas. I like the fact you're wanting to make it different from other maps/better than them. Thats a good way to start!
