I liked your previous version of this RPG better cecil, where each char had their own set of spells and their own char with 3-4 players in it, that had a great storyline, too. Why'd you get rid of it for this? Why not make that AND this?

Awesome!
I though I was the only one to keep going with my RPG

Nope! I promised to finish this before college. Lately I've been writing out my design plans on paper, and fine tuning some of the already created stuff.

The terrain looks hawt <3

Thanks!

I just realized that the map I have posted has the character starting in an odd location. I think I uploaded the wrong file. Also, since I reinstalled windows, I lost my mapfile. I'll work on this map tonight and post a progress update in this post.

[Edit]Er never mind; I lied. Sorry for the lame post. I'll modify it later with an update anyways.



[Edit]Additional Work:

• D Matrix Bug
  
• Merchant Bug
  
• Dialog Bug with Green Box dude, was glitchy due to logic error
  
• Added inverted location onto shuttle for open//close menu (still need to do player 2)
  
• Added anti-spam of gateway functions during text displays
  
• Fixed "stand still" during text displays of character, was glitchy due to logic error

Updated file download in OP.

This was a very cool map to play. Some excellent systems in place and a storyline that has me salivating for more! I only just stumbled across it in my map folder the other day, because I just assumed it was another copy of Ultimo's Lost Souls map (arrrghh the confusion). And to my pleasant surprise, it was a highly awesome RPG!

I like your Notes screenshot. I got pages of exactly the same for my HA RPG. SC Mapping is like a cooler way of writing a novel, there's nothing quite like it.

Anyway, I look forward to playing the next version of this RPG come 2012!

Screenshot of notes = Pretentiousness for me
But also means hardworking-ness

I still found Ultimoo's Lost Souls RPG is better

Bhahhhha yeah it can easily come off that way!

In all honesty notes like that are completely necessary, or else you'll just get lost along the way, everything will be disjointed and non-cohesive, and your game won't make sense. Worst of all, no dev work will ever get completed

The bane of brood war mappers was the lack of organization and hardworking-ness. This, like I promised, will be finished before college. FINISHED. You know that dream that everyone here has had of playing a full RPG created by a talented Brood War map-maker? Remember how all anyone ever got was good starts that failed after a short amount of time (with a few exceptions from some amazing people like Vrael and Private-Parts, and Yoshi (even though Yoshi's was disjointed and lacked content), and don't forget about that one guy.... What was his name, that created Siege Dyne? I can't remember his name). Well, someone is ganna finish a fucking map.

And by the way, college for me starts in a couple months. Looking forward to it? Then reply here and help support me! Play my current version and provide feedback -anything!

I looked at that last post and went "Haha I should be like 'Ohhh cecil where's the map? Time is ticking'" and then I looked at the post date and... Oh wow that's an hour ago.

Gogogo make. I'd hop on sc1 again to play this.

I remember! His name was Fwop_. Fwop_'s RPG was amazing, but it was unfinished because he joined a missionary trip? Or something along those lines.

Yeah tryin to finish before college is definitely the way to go. My uni started back up this year and my mapping has practically ground to a halt.

Gotta push as much work in as possible during the hols.

Update: Currently finishing up the first boss fight! I've also recruited Samsizzle to work on the map to get this thing finished. He'll be doing 50% of the dev work. I also took a screenshot of the story/level outline and uploaded it as a teaser:


Currently I'm working on making my trigger system more user-friendly so Sam can enter in content easily, while writing documents to keep my development time efficient. This should work very well since the trigger systems in this map are basically done, and Sam and I will pretty much be developing content from here out. Here's a document on the overall To Do list for Sam and myself. Currently we are in the "Creating terrain for every other level", although the first three/four areas of the map are already complete and playable. I believe there's currently 45 minutes of solid gameplay. I have not released a new version of the map as of yet.

-Terrain created by Samsizzle today. Being put into use as I type this.

What's the latest news on this?

I've stopped working on it. In school and no time, it's too low priority.

HAPPENS TO THE BEST OF US
