Well Evergreen Dungeon Crawl has been on hiatus for some time now and I don't think I'll ever get the motivation to get back ontop of it. Sorry to anyone who was looking forward to it (not that I think anyone really was).
But recently I've been working on a much, much smaller project that's been alot of fun and alot of good practise to work on. Behold, with it's self-degrading title-ness:
Basically at the moment it's an AoS. Theres a big square at the bottom of the map which is (in future) going to be used as a much bigger AoS with more features, and there may be many other minigames as well involving PvP with the heroes in this map.
Speaking of heroes, there are 12 heroes in this game at the moment and more will come as time goes on. I don't expect to hit a certain limit - I'll just keep making them til I get bored.
The idea of the heroes is that they all have 5 custom spells each, trying to be as diverse and unique as possible. The aim of this is not to show off my 1337 triggering skeelz - most of the custom spells are quite simple. Infact I don't think theres a reason to have extremely complex spells everywhere - a custom spell is a custom spell. Who cares what it is unless it's different from what we've been playing with for the last few years, imo
.
Theres also a bunch of creep upgrades you can get. You can increase damage, armour, health, add new units to spawns, upgrade your towers etcetera. In addition to that you can also spend your money on items. Certain items can be combined by any player, however there are extra powerful ones which can be made by a hero called the Blacksmith, who has a Fuse ability to turn two items into one. He can also take advantage of fused items by using them with his Weaponsmith's Strike ability.
The map is very small (64 width, 32 height) with most of the current map space being taken up by the unused arena at the bottom of the map. This is designed for fast paced and fun gameplay. The game supports up to 12 players (preferred game mode is 3v3).
Anyway I can't really be bothered typing up much more onto this forum post. Have a look at the game yourself below. Note this is an early version and there may be bugs, so send any bug reports to me ;d.
Download: Fail.o.S v0.39d
Below is the crappy free website I've made for this project:

Have fun playing! I'll take some screenshots later when I can be bothered xD.
Today's Edit: Wow, it's big now!
I'd like to get everyones opinion on this new version because it's a fairly big change. However, the most important opinion I want from everyone is that of the control points in the middle.
The question:
How do we deal with them while they are neutral hostile?
Once someone captures them its all well and good however at the start when they don't belong to anyone it kind of sucks. Any opinions would be nice.
Changelog for v0.39

Fail.o.S!
The idea of this map was basically to give me a bunch of trigger practise. However it's moved on to something a fair bit bigger, and now that my friends have started enjoying it and playing it for fun rather than bug testing I've gotten motivated to getting it released and taking it places.Basically at the moment it's an AoS. Theres a big square at the bottom of the map which is (in future) going to be used as a much bigger AoS with more features, and there may be many other minigames as well involving PvP with the heroes in this map.
