so as some of you know, me and shock have started working on small 'duel' maps based off star wars, they will serve dual purposes as small FFAs and our special 'duel' gametypes...we already have two designs in the works, The Invisible Hand (anakin and obiwan vs dooku) and The Throne Room (luke vs vader/palpatine). we also have an insanely awesome gametype (yes i just used insanely) almost done, we musta spent hours playing it...on an empty foundry, and then on the idea map...its awesome...anyway, so we need anything you guys can get us..pictures are the most helpful of course, pictures of the layout. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxvYpfWJn1o&feature=related there is the video in episode 6, but its really hard to find good shots to see whats going on. we could also use things like ideas for another star wars, and such. more videos with good angles are also welcome. Rancor Pit and Mellenium Falcon v3 being mostly by Mags89 may be included at a later pack, most of the following maps will be done exclusively or only by Insane54 and Shock Theta Edit: The above is pretty oldish. We're now working on three maps all at once, and we've scrapped the Battle of Hoth . I dont expect any of them to be coming out any time really soon but I'll try to get some screenshots in soon of our progress, which is nowhere near as far as it should be...
Re: Insane/Shock's Star Wars Pack Sweet! I'm a big star wars fan! This sounds great... can't wait! I'll try and find some pictures for you guys.....
Re: Insane/Shock's Star Wars Pack love star wars and it would be fun to fight in some of the famous areas.
Re: Insane/Shock's Star Wars Pack We're going to try and deliver as balanced a game as possible and get the maps looking as pretty as possible. Anyone's guess if we will, but it looks pretty encouraging so far. Look for this in the next few weeks I imagine.
Re: Insane/Shock's Star Wars Pack If you guys are still looking for ideas, how about building the Mos Eisley Cantina? i think it would be a cool small FFA map like you're talking about. Below is a Lego version, but it gives a great view of the layout... I think this could be easily done in Foundry. Is this the kind of thing you're looking for idea-wise?
Re: Insane/Shock's Star Wars Pack Dewd, the Darth Maul Duel... That would be waybadass, with all of the jumping around on platforms, the shield doors could be those red shield doors, and you make it two on one, making the one slightly more powerful. and pit of death you could just make an uberweaksauce powerup that makes the faller really slow and weak.
Re: Insane/Shock's Star Wars Pack How could we forget that one!? Thanks for the heads up, that's in there for sure!
Re: Insane/Shock's Star Wars Pack shock didnt i tell u i had that idea yesterday? lol...i said that i was thinking about it but it seemed impossible to do it right...whatever the cantina is an awesome idea, i hadent thought of that yet and it looks perfect...shock go 2 IRC if u see this until 1:40 around....thats 6:40 ur time
Re: Insane/Shock's Star Wars Pack I thought about that one too, but couldn't think of how to make the doors cycle on/off. It would still be way cool, though...
Re: Insane/Shock's Star Wars Pack AhhHhHhhHhHHhhHhhHhHhHHhhhhhhHHHHh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really want to play the cantina! That would be awsome! And now I'm mellow...... but I think that could be one of my favorite maps. Why don't you guys get help from Biggles? He makes a bunch of aesthetic Star wars stuff....
Re: Insane/Shock's Star Wars Pack Just think about how cool a video of the game set to the Cantina music would be!!
Re: Insane/Shock's Star Wars Pack Sold. Music and quoting random jedi phrases in game is essential. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSwy412nttI[/youtube]
Re: Insane/Shock's Star Wars Pack cannot haz mustafar but the quotes are FTW...anyway i got an intresting idea kinda from klink of the Death Star Trench...we'll have to see about that too...so right now here are our stuff we're thinking about working on: Duels/FFAs - Invisible Hand (dooku vs anakin and obiwan, Ep3), The Throne Room (vader/palpatine vs luke/vader, Ep6), Maul Fight? (maul vs obiwan and quigon, Ep1), Carbon Freezing Chamber (luke vs vader, Ep5), Palpatine's Office (palpatine vs 4 jedi, Ep3) Objective - Battle of Hoth (Ep5), Death Star Trench (Ep4), The Cantina (Ep4) Not sure - Rancor Pit, Mellenium Falcon v3
Re: Insane/Shock's Star Wars Pack mags89 SBG has joined the project, we might be including an updated version of his Mellennium Falcon, which is on Bungie Favs atm
Re: Insane/Shock's Star Wars Pack hm, can i get this moved to Forge Discussion? after talking with shock, we both think that everyone can know about it...if thats not possible cuz of my triple post (lol, just need to make sure ppl can see this...), move it to Offtopic. thnks
Other ideas: If you've played Knights of the Old Republic (I or II) there were a lot of memorable places there. (Trayus core anyone?)
just have to double post to make sure people can see this...remove if needed i guess so were currently working on 3 idea maps: Invisible Hand, Maul Duel, and Throne Room. we might also start on Cantina. the main question i have is for the publics opinion, we are thinking of making the maul duel not have most of the bridges. that means no big like jumping around and stuff. on the bright side, we now have a REALLY big circle room with a deathpit in the middle and grabholds...so i want to know, in your opinion, is the maul duel good with only a small bridge or 2, shield door area, and a big circle area?
