This is a new project I've begun working on and I was wondering if I could get some feedback on the concept.
It is currently in development phase.

Being designed for approx 10 people total.
This multiplayer game involves two teams: Aliens and Predators

Human creeps are spawned randomly across the map.

How the Alien side plays:
The Aliens goal is to destroy all of the Predators teleporters
The alien player can control any number of aliens at the same time. Alien eggs are created on a regular basis by the Queen. They cost gold to hatch into Alien Spawn.

The Alien Spawns are pretty easy to kill and have a limited attack but are relatively fast. If an alien spawn kills a unit they grow into a full Alien.

The full aliens are melee heroes. They are fast but have limited attack and health for their level. If they die they don't respawn

Their abilities are:
Leap (activated - allows them to jump to locations, including up and down cliffs)
Acid (static - adds poison to each attack)
Speed (static - attack speed and movement speed increase)



How the Predator plays:
The Predators goal is to destroy the Alien Queen.
The Predator player starts out with only one predator. When the predator dies it respawns at their base after a short period of time where they can take one of several teleporters back to arena. The have naturally higher stats per level than the aliens. They can also buy enchancing items at their base

The Predator Abilities:
Invisibility Cloaking (activated - they go invisible for a period of time)
Laser (activated - this targets the nearest unit in range and does damage to it)
Motion Tracker (static - all units in a specific range are revealed)

I have a whole bunch of AVP maps that you might be interested in. See if you can get some ideas from them maybe. PM me if interested.

I think your idea sounds cool.

Its a nice idea, though I always had problems with making a proper jumping (triggered, or non triggered) spell. I hope you have better luck then mi in that :) Oh yeah, how do you plan to make alien players control all of the aliens, if tehre is a 14 man selection max...or did you mean that every alien player will be able to control every alien unit?

Right now jumping works perfectly for one player. It might end up running into some variable conflict problems though if multiple people start jumping at the same time but I'm working on solving that.

I meant each alien can hatch, grow any number of aliens simultaneously. This is in comparison to the predator player who have one character they focus on upgrading.

I'm thinking about having the predators need to "buy" ability items such as the cloaking shield instead of aquiring them naturally.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
