sry that you hear from me that late but it was a long night yesterday and iam up since 2 hours now :> anyway bout the terraining thing: more than 1 terrainer is alway good because of the variaton of the terraining style, right now im pretty busy 2, monday-friday school, weekend girlfriend *sigh* all that stuff teenagers have to dael with but just give me your "orders" and ill start the terraining :>
EDIT: btw just read upper post: i support the group with both: terraining and advanced triggers

I filled that forumer's job yesterday (applied via PM to Diddy and got accepted), just so you know, too. Can't start working on it before I'm told what to put to the customisable part of the address, though. IIRC, Diddy said he'd tell it today, or something like that. And even after that it might take 1 - 3 days for the host to accept the site request.

 

[noobfitta]

I can start working with terraining asap, just give me the needed information about the map

 

[DiDdY]

I dont know really why the forum guy should have the final say(I don't care, he can have it if he wants it)

My idea would be to ask people on TH and make a poll about most things. That way we could get the public opinon on most things and the map will be more intresting.

This wouldn't work on all things since we might want to keep some things secret before we release it.

Yes, asking people on TH and making poll for public opinion is the plan; thus this thread.

hehe naah love to be that, but i hope you will beat DotA, super hope it (if it is gramatic correct)

DotA doesn't stand a chance! Hold on, I'll do the team list now!

Great!

Also, has anyone on the team got an idea?

 

[Siretu]

We need skype names from the people in the project so we can talk without PM's, until the new Forum is up.

 

[DiDdY]

Progress is good, need to get in touch with some other members off the team though.

Hopefully, forum should be up for more information soon, and we'll have a name, as well as being prepared to launch into the following maps.

 

[DogOfHavoc]

Ok I don't want to sound pessimistic, but there is no way to beat DotA by simply making a better AoS. There are tons out there, that are much better than DotA, but nowhere near as popular. The reason DotA is the most popular AoS is because everyone is familiar with it, and they don't want to have to relearn how to play for a different AoS. I think if we want this game to be really popular we need to think outside the box, and avoid any AoS-type game. It should also be very user friendly.

I also think we should have position for someone to balance the game. They can be in charge of item attributes and how effective the heroes,creeps,spells are.

 

[Siretu]

Yeah, I know. Please everyone that's upset about the Dota thing. It aint the thing we have in focus right now. Right now we're trying to think of a project and just try to finish it as a team(right?)

Whoever said an AoS? I wouldn't mind making one, but theres just so many, another AoS wouldn't other throw DotA. I was thinking more, a game that would be hosted more than DotA, because to be honest, I'm really getting bored of the Warcraft 3 custom game list...;

DOTA -ar -apem

dota join fast

Yes, thats our goal. Make a map that everyone likes, the public want, and that we can finish as a team.

 

[DogOfHavoc]

There were a few people suggesting an AoS, not you in particular.

QFT

 

[DiDdY]

QFT

Anyone wish to explain what the abreviation QFT means?

And I know DogOfHavoc, but I'm not sure wether any of the team will want to do an AoS and it depends on Public Votes.

Ah, thanks.

Yes, so, really, before we start, we need to get the new Forum up to make communication easier, then we can begin the map.

Terrain artists will be notified when needed, (probably first), and will be required to do as much as they can before a dealine, then another terrain artist gets a go. After terrain is pretty much done, but not finished, trigger people will begin work, and take that in turns.

I look forward to working with you all,

Regards,
Diddy.

 

[Siretu]

and while everyone is working, DogOfHavoc will come up with a storyline. Sounds great!

 

[DogOfHavoc]

Sounds like a plan, the sooner we decide what kind of game we want to make, the sooner I can get to work.

I'll also help you with storyline.
