Update on Affairs

June 4th, 2016

​

Since December of 2014 a great deal has happened inside and outside of Warcraft 3. The biggest thing is that Plague 2 has been almost completely revamped; the terrain, units, heroes, and gameplay have been refined to a point that I am almost content with. However, there is some bad news; there will be no more Warcraft 3 maps or updates in the foreseeable future. I have decided to move on from Warcraft  3 and onto greener pastures.

​

That being said, I have two projects that I would like to release that I am working on; the first is a relatively simple 2D top down ARPG made in Game Maker called Vendetta. The game takes heavily from the Dark Souls school of design; particularily that of intelligently designed levels and paced, strategic combat. However don't expect this to be a "souls knockoff" game; I know where I want to iterate and how, in addition to this there are elements I'm going to implement that haven't been explored yet in this territory; at least not that I know of.

​

The second game isn't something I quite feel ready talking about yet. The project is a lot more ambitious than Vendetta and I expect to put many more hours into it than Vendetta.

​

All in all, my goal is to have a good chunk of Vendetta finished by the end of this summer; in a dream scenario I'll have it released. I don't expect this though; and if I feel Vendetta isn't worth anything once it's finished I won't bother trying to sell it; if I'm still proud of it I'll be sure to share it here or elsewhere, even if it doesn't come out the way I envision it.

​

Getting Started

December 16th, 2014

 

It's good to have a website up. I mean no one knows about it yet, and I haven't quite got my OWN space to put my things yet, but this is better than mostly everything I've had before.

 

Lately I've started work on Fall of Stradford again. Not much, but I think I might finish that as my last Warcraft 3 project. I have a few other things in mind that I could do, but Fall of Stradford really would be a great thing to sign off to,

 

I intend to update Plague 2 pretty soon as well. Once I get through finals week, I'll most likely finish the item system rework. I'm likely going to a high damage physical unit to late game Intelligent Undead as well, as right now Intelligent Undead doesn't really have a good answer to the Mage Guard/Lightsworn spam that has become so prevalent in recent patches.

 

Well it's been a nice first update, and if anyone reads this than I'd be surprised.
