Hi,

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.

Hi,

I just started using the map editor a few days ago.

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 :/

@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

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.)

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)

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

gl with the project anyzway
