[color=#1af]I'm a bit reluctant to post anything about this map since I almost always lose motivation halfway through a project and quit, but I think posting something might motivate me to work harder on this. So anyway, here goes. [SIZE=18]Title: Random Inc. <3[/SIZE] This title is shit, I just couldn't come up with a name. The idea is that events are fairly random, although as I continue production everything seems to become less and less random. [size=18]Features[/size] • Basic Spell System • Heal - 240 mana: Restores about 20-25 hp if the medic is on you the entire time. The spell lasts 10 seconds, so you can actually use the medic to do other things, such as scout ahead. • Greater Heal - 600 mana: Restores about 60 hp if the medic is on you the entire time. This spell only lasts 3 1/3 seconds though, so this is a true healer, rather than a scout. • Charge - 450 mana: Recharges your mana to full (3600) if it succeeds. 1/4 chance of success, 3/4 chance of fail, in which case you just lose your mana. • Teleport - 3600 mana: The escape spell. Randomly moves you to any location somewhere on the map. Different areas of teleportation for each player, so you can use this to escape from monsters and other players. • Music System I know a lot of people aren't fans of the music thing because it just makes the map bigger and require a longer download, but I've compressed the music so that it only adds about 100kb and it adds so much flavour to the map ;). Choice of 3 different songs: Popcorn, Atliens, and Der Furst Der Finsternis. Each clip is from 8.5 to 10 seconds long. • Action Button Basic 'button' where you have a civilian that you simply move to cause some sort of action to occur (open a door, pick up a weapon, etc..). Nothing special here. [size=18]Items[/size] • First Aid Kit - Restores HP to 100% with no mana cost. Nice to come across :] • Key - Opens the door to a boss. Bosses must be killed in consecutive order. Any other ideas for items? List is kind of meager atm. [size=18]Roles[/size] • Vampire I was really pumped on mafia when I was beginning this map, so I decided to implement a random vampire feature. Basically, one of the players is randomly selected to be the vampire, and his goal from that point on is to kill all the normal players. The Vampire can switch between his normal human form and his vampire form. His vampire form is significantly stronger than a normal human form. If his normal human form is killed he will automatically be forced to stay in his vampire form until he dies. No additional powers gained from being in vampire form. • Townsperson So, this 'townsperson' isn't exactly conventional. He's equipped with a rifle and ready to pwn ;). Not very strong, but not completely defenseless either. • Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Role considered, and added) Back to the mafia theme, this is basically a Boondock Saint. If I implement this role she will basically be a good-aligned vampire. I'm thinking this might be a role that has only a percentage chance of being implemented, because this would really make it difficult for the vampire. On the otherhand, without this role the townies will have a tough time defeating the vampire. Added, only spawns 25% of the time though. Naturally the players won't have vision with eachother, and won't be allowed to vision. This will prevent weeding out the vampire easily. In addition all players are the same colour, which makes it exceptionally difficult to identify anyone. Since the vampire is fairly strong, I'm considering throwing out the same colour thing. Or maybe making there be 2 players of each colour to cause some confusion, but considerably less. [size=18]Gameplay[/size] So, it seems like all this that I've said already is the game, right? Wrong!

[color=#1af]I could make codes to unlock certain minor things, that could be fun.[/color]

Honestly I was thinking village myself in a jungle myself when I was reading your idea... The Labyrinth just doesn't really match vampires in my opinion... Especially with bosses. However, minus the vampire idea where people have to work together to escape the labyrinth, I think this would make a great map where you actually have to work together. Another Idea: Instead of playing a vampire, why not allow the player to play as the bosses? This adopts a Left 4 Dead style that I'm thinking about using for one of my ideas. It'd keep the gameplay less repetitive because not every player would play bosses in the exact same way.

[color=#1af]Labyrinths = Dark, Vampires = Only come out in dark. It's not a perfect setting for vampires, but it's not a horrible one either. I really just wanted to make a labyrinth and a vampire, so I merged them :P. This map isn't meant to be perfect, the hope is that it [i]will[/i] be finished and well-made. The thing I don't like about the player playing as bosses is that it doesn't add that aspect of everyone being untrustworthy and making suspicion be a large part of the game. That's what I really like.[/color]
