Of course I want :thup:. I'm impatient to see these screenshots

 

[sabrio]

Yeah, I know... I didn't showed signs of life, but the project is still being worked on, and I came out with an idea for melee maps. In wcIII, you could buy units/items or use any neutral buildings, but in my mod, players will need to "assimilate" the neutral buildings, let me explain, players can uses neutral building only if it's owned by him or one of his teammate, there is two solutions; the first one consists of slowly conquering neutral buildings by having no enemies nearby, or if your troops are two times bigger... The second options consist of spending gold to assimilate it directly, but it cost a large amounts of gold which increases as time passes by.
Vote here

That's all, for now :thup:

I have been working onthis for a very very long times, but still, as day passes, almost oneis interessed on this, now
All my members leaved, since they fought it'a a waste of time, and there is no point to work on this huge project, alone and without someone interessed :/
At the beginning, I wanted, yes I wanted, to finish it, I had enough motivation, but, I didn't thought that no one, or almost, will forget it... Almost one one, took the time to read this thread, just thinking of Another Warcraft IV not better than EoE, but now, I understand why every wcIV is abandoned...because no one is interessed, thus, I too, abandon this project, and my dream...
I say goodbye to the 1 or 2few guys that willl look at this, and say goodluck to Kingbdogz

 

[kingbdogz]

I'm sorry to hear that, Sabrio, I thought the project had quite a lot of potential. Just remember this: even if no one posts on your thread, doesn't mean they aren't interested. I bet plenty of people do read this thread, and I for one do too. I don't post that often, but I'm still interested.

Although I encourage you to continue your project, I can't stop you from your own will to decide. I just hope you consider staying with the project.

If you really want people to help you, maybe you can reboot Warcraft IV under a different name. HOWEVER, don't just leave your thread the same; improve it, add as much detail as you can, and make it look professional. If you show people that you are dedicated, and you update the thread on a weekly basis, they will become interested and offer to help.

Good luck.

 

[Dinowc]

don't quit man

reason why nobody shows interest is because nobody really likes reading walls of text
I mean, ppl don't really care about new units you've added
a gameplay video, cinematic or just a screenshot of some cool, new stuff would do a lot and show ppl that you've actually done more than they think

I agree with King, the layout of the main post looks pretty boring
make it more special and unique
1 picture can tell more about your project than detailed description of units and their stats

maybe release a demo version, something like a single mission map that shows what you've done so far and what we can expect in the future

to be honest, I never liked the title
I love your story, but the title kinda makes no connection with it

I understand it's hard maintaining such a project alone and I would help if I had my own pc and time
I gave you some encouraging rep if it helps

it's up to you

 

[Inflicted]

interested

could possibly help abit with terrain if needed.

:/.... Maybe....

to be honest, I never liked the title

I didn't liked the title, throught, I had no better idea and I was doing things more important

I understand it's hard maintaining such a project alone and I would help if I had my own pc and time
I gave you some encouraging rep if it helps

I remember, before, you proposed to help me, but I asked you to make a spell for me and you were frustated because you couldn't do so you left

I think, some guys are interessed, but it's just that I have 2k,3 views and it's surely 70% of them done by me clicking on "refresh" =/

Although I encourage you to continue your project, I can't stop you from your own will to decide. I just hope you consider staying with the project.

I don't know...I will see how it keep's going

Maybe... but how to improve it ? :/

 

[esb]

You want people to get interested? Finish it. Quite simple.

 

[Dinowc]

Any suggestion for that ?

well first of all, change that ugly font of the title

I didn't liked the title, throught, I had no better idea and I was doing things more important

actually it is important, because when ppl open the thread for the first time, the first thing they see is the title
if you can, make a custom logo
something like this:

really? well I could try again, but I can't remember the spell

 

[kingbdogz]

I think, some guys are interessed, but it's just that I have 2k,3 views and it's surely 70% of them done by me clicking on "refresh" =/

That actually doesn't work with refreshes, it's based on the user. So in other words, 2k views = 2k users have viewed your thread.

 

[Baldar]

don't quit, please !
2,4k peoples are watching this, and other 99% are interessed.
Makes your thread looks more professional, changes that title and create a logo, and you will attract more people, Trust me
If you decide to continue, contacts me, I could help as a 3D modeller, throught, I don't know how to skin/aniimate; but that's better than nothing.

Judt don't quit

You want people to get interested? Finish it. Quite simple.

Maybe it's just me, but I thinks it's a pointless reply x/

Remember: Release early, release often.
