Arena Zombie Invasion

[X-maul]

The Marine Squad emergancy landed on this abandoned military base, and the only thing left standing in the base, is a energy generator. The marines discovered to thier fear that the reason this base was abandoned was that this was an old biotechnical lab which have discovered a disease which turned organic material into living and hostile creatures, also known as zombies.

Fight your way through masses of zombies each round until the generator in the center of the base have generated enough energy to emit a shockwave which will keep off the zombies for a while, leaving behind minerals which can be used for various things, such as upgrading your abilities, weapon, armor and purchasing items at the generator for your survival

I'm taking care of the object editor and terrain, but having someone fixing the triggers for me would be nice

 

[Whoareyou.]

You are the last of the Marine force at the old keep, as the last of your group you fight for your survival, and to do so, you need to kill all the invading zombies whose only goal is to kill you and feast on your flesh.

As marines you are privileged with some very powerful abilities and weapons, and the key to survival is to make the way through masses of zombies for 3 minutes each round using all you got. After each round the generator in the center of the keep will emit a huge shockwave which will kill all the zombies in the map, leaving behind minerals which can be used for various things, such as upgrading your abilities, weapon, armor and purchasing items at the generator for your survival.


At the moment there are only 7 levels and really no variety between them (besides the increasing damage and hp of the zombies).

I’ve made 5 abilities so far;

Is rocket boots like blink with kewl explosive effects?
Bullet rain like Blizzard except with bullets?
Molotov Cocktail like DotA Ogre Magi's Molotov Cocktail?
Artillery Strike is Flamestrike with stun included?
And is Explosive Round 1 single target or like berserk?

 

[X-maul]

Is rocket boots like blink with kewl explosive effects?

he jumps - like as in a jump :b not blink

Is rocket boots like blink with kewl explosive effects?

no, its more like shockwave

Molotov Cocktail like DotA Ogre Magi's Molotov Cocktail?

more like the liquid fire, or flame nova

Artillery Strike is Flamestrike with stun included?

nah not realy - it's more like uhm cluster rockets without channeling and from above.

And is Explosive Round 1 single target or like berserk?

No. It shots a bullet, and upon impact it exlodes - so its like a shockwave that explodes upon impact.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A new version will be up soon, with several bug and tooltip fixes.

 

[Whoareyou.]

We won't count as the killer for the explosive barrels? That makes little sense,
also You should give a 35% for zombies to drop minerals or so. And add upgrades to the barricades, every upgrade +2 armor and 100 hp, Should add a buyable "base" or headquarters that someone can build, 10k hp, 25 armor, attackable by zombie, costs 500 minerals, and add a Basic Turret that you can buy [For like the barricaded bases etc] and Barricades should be called Boxes because they practically are boxes.

basically I could not find a way to find the killer of the barrel, and then i decided that it was fair as it is only in emergancy you should use it.

also You should give a 35% for zombies to drop minerals or so.

hmm... I've tried that, but it didnt work out very good, but could try it out again

And add upgrades to the barricades

y, have considered to make them have spiked baricades, will brainstorm on it.

every upgrade +2 armor and 100 hp

hmmm - y, I'll work on that.

Should add a buyable "base" or headquarters that someone can build, 10k hp, 25 armor, attackable by zombie, costs 500 minerals

hmm - y, maybe not that much hp, but I'll consider to make it possible to build a little HQ thing, possibly a little medic station which heals you.

and add a Basic Turret that you can buy [For like the barricaded bases etc]

hmmm - y, might create a turret, but the map was not intended to be a map where you build a heavy defended base, rather a destroyed base you should survive in.

Barricades should be called Boxes because they practically are boxes.

y ok, but as they are used as barricades I might use another model instead, boxes sounds more like a storrage, not an actual barricade/blockade.

Thank you for your feedback +rep for your effort:thup:

 

[LurkerAspect]

Looks cool I'll try it later when I have some free time

EDIT: Just so you know, on my browser, some of your pictures don't finish loading, don't know if that's my problem or something you should check out. I'm using an up to date firefox.

Cool, thank you
hmm I use firefox too, and I can load all images

 

[Whoareyou.]

Well turrets shouldn't have upgrades like basic 1-5 dmg.

 

[X-maul]

Will look into it when i get time to work on this

 

[X-maul]

New version is out
Check #1

 

[Whoareyou.]

Should add Attack to Sentry Guns so you can aim

Add special guns because you have armor

Why is it that Sentry Guns get targeted by zombies? Shouldn't be like that.

Dragonhide Armor should give extra armor

My barricades never got attacked when I summoned turret, should make zombies auto target barricade instead of turret.

Isn't it actually Artillery not Artilleri

Add an item thats like Ammo or something that gives attack speed.

Rocket Boots change description targeted location to 1000 of point or change it to area, I blinked somewhere like 500 range and it made me 1000.

Add a reminder so people know about Upgrades and Ability Upgrades

Make a Hero Pick instead of everyone being a marine; Sniper: Big Dmg slow Attack Speed, Medic; Average Everything Etc.

A way to get lives; like after every round

[BlackRose]

Zombie survival maps are/were popular in the community I play with I might host it and play it after all my school assessment is completed.

uhmm? you might need to explain further?

Should add Attack to Sentry Guns so you can aim

you mean like you can set it to attack a direction and then it hits everything inside the line?

Why is it that Sentry Guns get targeted by zombies? Shouldn't be like that.

hmm, y i noticed that, I'm working on it atm

Dragonhide Armor should give extra armor

y, might give it armor

My barricades never got attacked when I summoned turret, should make zombies auto target barricade instead of turret.

yup, working on it.

Isn't it actually Artillery not Artilleri

ahh, yes it is

Add an item thats like Ammo or something that gives attack speed.

y, I have thought of that, but as I see it, it is very illogical that you can increase attack speed of your weapon, but i might add new weapons.

Rocket Boots change description targeted location to 1000 of point or change it to area, I blinked somewhere like 500 range and it made me 1000.

hmm? seems wierd to me :s - I usually gets moved to target location :s
do you just get moved 1000 in the targeted direction?

Add a reminder so people know about Upgrades and Ability Upgrades

y, I'm going to make a better description in the beginning and add hints

Make a Hero Pick instead of everyone being a marine; Sniper: Big Dmg slow Attack Speed, Medic; Average Everything Etc.

I'm still working on it, have thought of the sniper and medic, but I need to create the abilities first (Ideas are very welcome)

A way to get lives; like after every round

uhmm, y - that might be at bosses - but I'll brainstorm on it:thup:

Zombie survival maps are/were popular in the community I play with I might host it and play it after all my school assessment is completed.

Nice thank you, It might not be very balanced for multiplayer though /:
anyway thank you

Like, add guns as machinegun, sniper, plasma rifle, etc.

No, I mean like so the turret can choose the target to attack; If theres like 1 unit attacking it, you can aim your turret to kill it.

Well, I got moved 1000 to target direction twice only :S out of 6 times.

A lot of ideas are at http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showthread.php?t=156789

First of all; it doesn't really affect gameplay as long as you don't rocket into a circle of zombies and np

Bleh. Well, I hosted 0.20 today, and found it rather boring. Two of us jumped into the forests and practically stayed there forever, we left after Round 4 (Dragon thingies). It was too easy, or something. I dunno. Someone even said "maybe the author doesn't like challenges"
