Nova
Nova is my newest (and only) map project. It's a 3-Lane AoS.
I (barely) have some lore for it, but it's not written down. Still.
It'll be a 5v5 AoS, with two forces (Light and Dark). Think of it like DotA, with the bases in the top left and bottom right instead (at least terrain-wise).
Currently planned features (I have more, but I can't seem to remember them at the moment).
- Level 25 Leveling Cap.
- Built-in Translations*
- Recipe System.
- In Game Debugging System.
- Anti-Runner System.
* The In Game translation system will be a VERY experimental system, which will automatically translate words in one language to another.
Here's an example; Say your playing a game with someone from France, and they only speak French. Whenever they talk, a system will automatically translate the French words into English, allowing you to understand. This also words "backwards", meaning English will be translated into French.
I'm undecided on how language detection will work, so I can't answer many questions about this.
This map will come in three flavours: Open-Source, Optimized, and Developement.
The Optimized version will be the "online" version. This will be run through any possible optimizations to improve the gameplay experience.
The Open-Source version will be completely unoptimized, allowing people to look over all of the resources (code, models, etc) in the map.
Development is almost exactly like the Optimized version, but it's not considered stable. This is the "beta" of the newest verion.
This map is VERY early Developement, but I'm going to finish it, no matter what it takes.
Now, I need some hero ideas. Credits to anyones heroes I use (and rep, of course!).
Theme: Think Light vs Dark. Warcraft theme (spells, names, etc).
Models are OK, as long as they're small (but I'd like to avoid them as much as possible). Custom icons for spells or the hero itself are fine too.
I'll update this post whenever there is something to update.
