I just started using the map editor a few days ago. As my first mod I decided to do a farming game: you can milk cows, harvest crops, tame beasts etc.
I recorded a video to demonstrate it a little but the upload takes way too long so I'll just post some images:
Farmlings - Lings of Liberty
Title screen.
Basic farm life & planting a harvestable crop
Creating watering drones to keep the plants alive!
Sending in a bio-nuke
Nuke just about to hit the ground. On impact it will heal and create more trees instead of annihilating stuff.
Pow
Maybe a video of this one would be better. Lots of trees & plants appear on explosion.
About to tame the queen baneling (beast must have low nrg)
Laying some eggs with the queen.
Eggs have hatched & more critters appear
Features so far:
Basic farm features:
Plant crops - Harvest them for extra minerals
Plant food crops - Increase your supply limit to get more animals
Water crops - Keep plants alive longer
Build farm structures - Sheep Cloning Facility, Water Tower, Storage Depot etc.
Use zerg techonolgy to create - Zergling Munchies, Mutalisk Lure, Babylisk Playground etc.
Use structure abilities to:
Milk Cows - Get minerals
Sell Animals - Get minerals
Create Baby Infestors - Infiltrate your enemy's farm and infest his plants.
Create a Dog House Domain - Dogs start to bark when enemies are nearby
Train a watch dog - Smells nearby burrowed baby Infestors
Examples of a few special features so far:
Use Mutalisk Lure - Lures nearby neutral mutalisks to your farm.
Tame beasts - gain control of wild creatures
Use tamed wild beast - lay some eggs, fight etc.
Use the Bio-Nuke - Instead of being a devastating nuke restores health & creates tons of trees + harvestable crops on impact area
Feedback appreciated or if anyone wants to test the feel free to post. Currently I am working on balancing some costs, requests etc.
Another possibility is cutting your original vid shorter. (If you know how atleast) Try cutting parts that you don't need, such as parts where you're not doing anything, or you're busy with setting up your plants and you've already shown how to do that. See if you can't do that. If not, then you might want to upload it overnight when you're not using your computer.
Ya, once again, I'm so excited! I LOVE the bionuke. Tis (I actually meant to say "Tis") is awesome! I always wonder how you got it to be green. (Besides tinting)
-Queen Baneling spawning some scantipede infested eggs (bad diet) -Lyote uses the hunt ability (finds a nearby bird and slays it) -Mutalisk lure summons an aura to lure neutral mutalisks to join you (looks nicer in game :() -Redstone Lava King and his minions. (still lacking effects etc.)
Updates I did yesterday:
-Support for 4 players. -Added/fixed win conditions. Now you can also tech ftw if you don’t want to slay all other farms. -Added the 'Paradise Phoenix’ win condition effect (will upload video it later)

And you made this? Nice job!
@xShaelis: Go
yeah the editor seems quite nice & these forums help a lot too! So much different possibilities to do with the editor.
omg crop circle + green nuke, liked
btw, can you make a video demonstration of the map ?
@progammer: Go
I did, but it's 400mb would take a few hours to upload with my current connection :/
Lol. If you have a video, then you (could) upload it on Youtube (If it's not already) and post up a link.
@yukaboy: Go
Yeah takes lots of hours to upload on youtube too :x Should probably make a shorter vid oO;

@Farmlings: Go
Try to compress video, no video should be 400MB to share among youtubes, try H.264 and it will be around 50MB or even 20
yeah guess I will have to do some low quality videos for demonstration then oO;
Yeah Youtube supports up to 2gb files I think but my connection is horrible atm
Looks nice, I'd like to see more!
Ty! Way more feedback than expected! ^,^
Okay cut down movie size to 2 x 40mb & started to upload now :)
Okay 1st video uploaded.
EHA
Just the basic farming there.
Note that this is still a really early version – gfx/sounds will still be enhanced/modified
I can't be more excited! :D Good job.
Okay here is an early version of the bionuke effect. It will still be modified. (Also crops have wrong IMG atm :p)
—-
Also when the night falls, roaches will spawn around the farm and possibly attack you.
If you have a Dog House the Dogs will bark as a warning for incoming enemies.
Bio Nuke Detected! Sweet dude.
Dude, this looks sick!
...in a good way

small demo of tamed beasts.
-Queen Baneling spawning some scantipede infested eggs (bad diet)
-Lyote uses the hunt ability (finds a nearby bird and slays it)
-Mutalisk lure summons an aura to lure neutral mutalisks to join you (looks nicer in game :()
-Redstone Lava King and his minions. (still lacking effects etc.)

It looks cool, but not sure if its any fun.
