This is a project I've been working on for quite a while. I have restarted the project twice now, and feel that it may be time to officially announce it. It will be an RPG where you play as Zeratul (at least it uses Zeratul's model) and is quite combat oriented. It's in a 3rd person perspective, where you control the camera and attack with the mouse, and use WASD (currently arrow keys 'cause I'm a lefty :D) to move. The combat system is completely custom for the main character so that I can have absolute control over it.
The control scheme probably could use some work. Currently, WASD is used to move, mouse to control camera, left mouse button for a light attack, right mouse button for heavy attack, and middle mouse button for the active ability. The number keys can be used to select which ability is active.
Right now, there are only two complete abilities: Flame Strike and Shadow Strike.
Enabling Flame Strike will set Zeratul's weapon on fire (Picture 1) and will start to burn the target (Picture 2) upon use of a light or heavy strike. The enemy will be burned for 5 damage every 0.8 seconds, for 5 ticks, and then revert back to normal.
Enabling Shadow strike will imbue Zeratul's weapon with dark magic (Picture 3) and deal immense damage (Picture 4) upon use of a heavy or light attack. The enemy will be damaged instantly for 20 damage in addition to the attack's damage.
There's not much else to say right now, other than there's a completely custom UI. I'll try to update this when I add in new things like abilities, or a working inventory (current one doesn't work :/. I'll make a new one.)
No one probably cares, but I've updated the UI slightly. There is now a new box next to the health/mana bars which shows which ability is currently selected.
