Sounds great

About the customizable items, are you planning to make them "socketable" like;

1: [Socketable Armor] - Gives + X armor, has 2 socket places.
2: The user drops a "gem" or something on the armor and whoops!
3: It gives + X armor and + Y something.

 

[Larcenist]

Probably not. At this point the only thought is adding mods to your items (which will give you enough liberty to make your items as you wish anyway ^^).

Yet another shameless bump.

A lot of work have been done. Most beta-heroes are done (About 2-3 more to do) and basically all systems are done. Basically what has to be done now is a few more items, bases, and Savior's final touch on the terrain, then it'll probably be beta-time.

As for previous comments (months ago but better late than never ), take the tutorial on our systems part. We'll probably add a game mechanics section in the forums that describes the fundamental parts of the game.

Yay... I'll be waiting.

How long does it take for 2-3 heroes to be done?

 

[Larcenist]

Considering we are to be keeping the heroes somewhat original, it'll all depend on the ideas we have. I alone made most heroes lately (Damien has done a lot of systems and is currently taking a break, and Flare just got back on making heroes for TC). Then it's the balancing between heroes that is to be done (base stats, base armor, stat gain etc).

Also we have done nothing with the bases, so the map is just plain terrain at the moment, and with quite a few ideas on how to keep this original it may take a good week only to get the bases running.

Then of course we will have to make a few more items, which too is a little annoying with the current system.

The only system that's fundamental at this point that isn't done would be the outposts, but that can't really take more than a few hours to put together.

Lastly Savior is to make the terrain look really awesome, which requires everything from above (at least the bases).

So my guess is that, if not earlier, the TheHelper community can consider this a christmas present from us to you ^^.

Awesome, this looks really promising, can't wait

Flare just got back on making heroes for TC

Well, I've only gotten 1 idea so far (I think the hero should maybe be a battle caster or whatever the term is, I can't think of many suitable abilities other than what I've got that stick to a single aspect, and the current ability is a pretty nice as regards melee, but it does look quite caster-ish )

So, any ideas? I'm hoping that by the time the hero is complete, all the abilities will tie into a theme of darkness, decay and possibly death, primarily darkness (purple!) and decay (DoT/debuff, that kinda stuff) though

Oh ye Larcenist, are we continuing with the spell synergy idea?

 

[Larcenist]

Oh ye Larcenist, are we continuing with the spell synergy idea?

I'm getting the feeling this is way too much work, especially if they should affect duration/effect or the buffs etc. Would require some utterly annoying library which I'm really not up for making. But if you have the will and time to make this I guess we would be going for it.

 

[Immolation]

This looks good.

 

[Larcenist]

I'll upload a few screenshots of new heroes in a few minutes.

Edit: Screenshots uploaded. Can be found at the bottom of first post.

Where's the brow-wiping emote? Was kinda hoping you'd say that - it's a cool idea, but way too impractical, especially for a whole AoS. Do I have to rework the Pyromancer, or can he be left with his self-synergy (just for the sake of sparing me the heartache of fixing it )

EDIT: Ooooooh, Mind Cage is sexy indeed

 

[Larcenist]

Nothing says that we cannot have synergy between the spells of a hero, which would be what we want really. So you wouldn't have to rework it (assuming the code doesn't look like crap since it was made ages ago).

EDIT: Ooooooh, Mind Cage is sexy indeed

I agree xD

Edit: Nice project, this is something special. You've gathered some good people, that usually means a good project. I love the spell ideas.
