Campaign Arnold's adventure

[Kazuga]

Changed the name to Vengeance.
Hello there, let me present to you the current project I'm working on. It's a smaller sort of campaign (only 1 map). It's sort of an fps or whatever you call it. 3:rd person camera, arrow key movement and a lot of fun quests and special stuff^^

Story:

Spoiler

Arnold is a young and strong warrior raised by the proud Warrior guild. He has never met he's parents so he has searched comfort and friendship with everyone around him instead. He is known around the world after the terrible accident which occurred when he was 2 years old. Arnold have finally reached the age of 20 and is now a man of he's own. After leaving the Warrior guild he traveled to the small encampment at the border of Ravenfields. In search for power, friends, love and gold the adventure hear by begins.

Hehe I love my imagination^^
Any way here is some screenies from ingame:

Currently percentage done:

Terrain:   50%
Quests:   25%
Abilities:  60%
Sounds:  70%
Items     30%

If anyone has any sorts of suggestions or critics please post them here

Edit:
I have created some new areas, new abilities, quests and items. Also worked a lot on already made terrain to make it look better.

Edit:
Worked a lot on the terrain, there are a lot of new areas (though you can't reach them at it's current state...) Almost done with the first boss, you can try him out by typing "First boss" in the chat. You now use your abilities by typing their names in the chat. Credits to Lord for bringing up the idea. Three graveyards has been added, a lot of new weapons (but you can't achieve them all at it's current state...) Some new music and model files, also fixed some bugs that was found in some of the quests.
Edit:
Added some new sounds, fixed some major bugs and added a new part of a quest. There is now also a mini game quest, It's quite buggy and doesn't look very well yet but it's playable if you want to check it out.

What I want from you:
If you test the map, you have got to say what you think about it. Good or bad, sucky or pwning.
Searching for:
Nothing at the moment.
Thanks to:
Battlemapsta for voice acting the first boss.

Here is a link to download the unoptimized map at it's current state. Link.

Terrain: 5-10%
Quests: 1-3%
Abilities: 0%
Sounds: 0%
Items 0.1%

Why did you post your map with such low percentage done?

Anyway, I have not tried it yet, so I cant say much

I will try it now.

lol, Firefox owns internet explorer.

Anyway, this seems like a nice map. Arnold the strong, rofl. So, won't it be a bit hard to like attack with all that stuff in that view? I find it kinda' annoying and hard when if your hero turns a bit, your whole camera turns with it, and you miss the view you were looking at, and if you frantically click like 50 times to get back to where you were, your camera just goes crazy.

But good luck with this anyway, perhaps it will be better. The terraining looks like it could be worked up a bit but I see that it's not 100% done yet so I'll just wait for it. Good luck once again. :thup:

Thanks for feedback^^

I posted with such low percentages so I can edit things right away if things is totally wrong or just doesn't fit.

Thewrongvine you have to admit the terrain is a lot better then in my cinematic at start?^^ The fighting works fine with the awesome movement and camera system, it's easy to guide around and move to wherever you want. There is even a look around action (although I haven't given it to the hero yet) so you can stand still and look around.

 

[UndeadDragon]

I just tried it and I have to say, I am quite impressed. The movement was alright (turning could be a bit faster) and the actual gameplay seemed fun.

Good job.

1. i think you posted map with such low percentages...

********************************

[Draphoelix]

No comment.

Offtopic

Thoose comments is completely useless CEMEH

 

[CEMEHbl4]

Draphoelix
but Arnold is really looks different! its TRUE

 

[Dakho]

cemeh, why even bother post...





This campaign looks pretty cool, though the terrain could use some work. The first SS with the random arches is somewhat strange. Nevertheless It should be fun to play :thup:

 

[Oninuva]

CEMEHbl4 is a really funny person.

Read his posts.

Luck.Duck @ US EAST

You have a funny account name on a video in youtube. Related to d*ta.

 

[Daskunk]

Movement and camera was pretty bad... For that reason I gave up even attempting to play it after awhile. The guy kept attacking units instead of walking.

And I agree, he's funny. But annoying somtimes.

 

[lord dakoth]

you will have a *high* level cap, i hope?

 

[Dakho]

Just played it. I truly hope that isn't even close to the final form. The game has potential, and I liked your use of cinematics, but:



a). Terrain. In a single player campaign, you should have no holding back on terrain, as there's no file limit. Get some custom trees, they make a world of difference. Use tile variation, not just all dirt, and use height variation as well. the world is not that flat

b). Different types of quests? Not just 'kill boss' quests. But whatever.

c). I really liked the weapon system. If you could get helmets and shields, that would be cool too.

d). More to do! There's really not much to do. I suggest you make some buildings enter-able, and you will 'enter' them (be teleported) and be in a new area that looks as if it were a building. (maybe just devote a corner of the map to that or something).

e). The movement system! I don't know if you made it, but I (highly) suggest you get a new one. The current one is choppy and strange. Smith_S9, on this site, has a good movement/camera system I suggest you use.



Positive:

Again, I liked your weapon system.
The town. I love it. The gate, the guards, the buildings, I don't know but it all looks really cool and feels alive (the blacksmith working, the greetings from the soldiers).
Good, short n sweet cinematics with nice cameras (for how short they are).
I don't know why but it has an RPG-ish feel, despite it lacking a lot of stuff.

 

[Kazuga]

Wow so much posts wohoo^^

Sorry CEMEHbl4 but I won't even reply to your post^^

First of all, it is far from completed indeed.
Secondly, I have had a big terrain height variation but the camera sort of bugs up and half of the screen either go black or the unit runs out of it (he's sort of standing on the camera...).
Thridly, yes I have already made some quests which is not killing.:thup:
Fourth: Ye I had something like that in mind, and also when you have made it half through or something you get a new model which has a full plate armor or something.
Fifth: Hm yes I could have some of the more important houses enter able.. Good idea thanks Sixth: No I didn't, it's made by "VIRUS_OF_MADNESS" and I used it because it's the best this far I have seen, but I will look over the one you suggested

Ye I really love it to^^ I was sick of the old dead ways in games so I tried to cheer it up a little, glad someone noticed it^^

>you will have a *high* level cap, i hope?
You mean highest possible level? Yes I was thinking of 50 or more.

 

[thewrongvine]

@ CEMEH, don't start it again.

2) He is not the real luck.duck. He is just a fanboy... haha, fan-boy. AHAH. Ha.

3) Well Kazuga, I don't exactly remember, but I think your terraining from the cinematic was better, but maybe it was just because it had custom camera views. And yeah, single player = no restrictions (well at least less than multiplayer).

I'll try it out.

EDIT: um. the link doesn't work. I'll try it again later.

 

[Oninuva]

I am the Luck.Duck, otherwise I wouldn't have the name Luck.Duck on all servers.

 

[Kazuga]

Have no idea what you guys are talking about^^ Anyway I noticed that it's not accepted to post unfinished maps at hive so I uploaded it at filefront. Also now it's updated with som new quests, an entire city, music, some new trees... You better check it out ingame^^

Here is a link.

 

[Furberg]

So, this map looks pretty sweet. Sweet as nougat (nougat is super sweet). So ill try it out mate, ill edit my post after about what i think of the map :thup:

off-topic: Dude, vine i love your humor:

2) He is not the real luck.duck. He is just a fanboy... haha, fan-boy. AHAH. Ha.

EDIT: Okay, i tried the map and i think it was a great start for a map. If you made this game a multiplayer functional game or made computer controlled heroes that would follow you and be in combat with you, it would be awesome. I love the controls and the camera system. The first area where you start the quests you should make some better terrain, espacially near that hermit guy. I love how the quests work and it reminds me of WC3 campaigns <3 . All i can say is, continue with this map!

 

[Kazuga]

Thanks for feedback^^ Hm I will try to make the Hermits cave a little more "scary" and so^^ I just managed to make my first enterable house also (looks darn good if you ask me^^) Well I could make some quest were you receive help from one or two other heroes which follows you around, good idea thanks:thup:

The map is allready far above 4MB^^
