Ever wonder what it'd be like to play as Starcraft hero on par with Kerrigan from the HotS campaign in a fast-paced hero defense-style map against an onslaught of evolving zerg?
For the past several weeks I've been working on a design for a game that I've entitled Orpheus. It was originally inspired by Custom Hero Defense and meant to serve as a quick, fun, build-your-own-hero-and-slaughter-tons-of-zerg-style game filled with content that players can unlock in order to keep trying different things. I've dropped the custom hero idea in favor of actual heroes from the campaign with some story line and new powerful ability choices that can be unlocked so that the same hero can be played a variety of ways.. find the right combination of skills and stats to suit your play-style or min/max to make the most powerful hero combinations possible!
I gather that most people here are more familiar with trying Alphas and Betas of games, I'm not there yet. In all honesty, depending on how work and other time commitments go, I may not get there for awhile, but this is a game that I would love to play so I'm focused on making it happen with what time I do have available. For now I'm making the design document public so that perhaps I can inspire someone else to start their own project the way Custom Hero Defense inspired me to start mine.
It's my intention to publicize the systems and units from the game through mods and tutorials that others may use to aid in creating their own games. Eventually I plan to release the map in its entirety so that others may further learn from it.
Here is a link to my design document. I would be delighted if anyone here might be interested in reading it (a lengthy time commitment, I know), in its entirety or in part, and return here to leave any form of feedback.
Hey guys, you've made me to realise of something: I've never finished and map, but your project has inspired me to make something the way yours look. But not only facing Zergs; the Protoss and Terrans aren't less and wants to join the fight. I'm thinking on making a large pool of heroes to choose from and everyone is welcome for helping. It will be calles (just a pre-Alpha name) Hero Apocalypse. Thank you very much and good luck with your project :)
