Lucky you. I was unable to find texturer... So I had to learn photoshop :P .
BTW It would be better to place imageshack link then stupid attachment image. Coz it sucks. Image is floating all over the screen.
Neck is too wide. Maybe add 2 parts there. And barrel. remove those holes. You can do it via normal map.
Well you can leave it you want. Not su much more polys...
There might be trouble editing water models, if those even are models... Also I am not sure but I think current exporter wont be able to handle that. Water effects, and animated textures. I am not even sure if its using animated textures...
The purpose of this is fun. And its really is fun to play even its if in lets say alpha. Its ridiculous how fun it is to play. Terrain needs some works yes. Some mechanics will be improved. Overall its quite fun.
4 players was well, least number of players we could put. We plan to put more arenas and more players, like 8 or even 12.
There will also be system where you will be able to pick arenas BASED ON NUMBER OF PLAYERS. So no worries there. This is first thing we could think of.
Now about people saying its not interesting. Well, there is some deeper gameplay where you can improve your skill by using some techniques. But 1st layers is fun. Its same technique Blizzard is building their games.
Some upgrades and powerups will be changed. Number and upgrade points will be probbly split to half. In order to increase pacing of the game. Now, upgrades are almost useless. Since drop chance is too low, and boxes are spawning too rarely(what will be fixed).
Also, future versions should include more arenas with different traps that I plan to design.
Sure, if this maps proves to be fun. We will listen what other people want and will strip complicated things we put, you people dont like.
BTW, next video will be introduction of game mechanics. When we fix/improve them.
Nice replays unit187 and Rushhour. You both got the point.
This is the reason why it's so quiet. it would be better if there is like better support for mappers meeting, organizing teams and SHARING RESOURCE.
Tutorials here are almsot useless coz it looks like bunch of books thrown on some page. Instead of some nice forum feature where any noob can find what he's looking for.
Now its not only community or forums. Its bnet, mostly. Coz when someone does map. That map cant be popular at once.
Nobody can play that map coz of stupid bnet 0.2 .
People are having hard time advertising their maps over forums(specially this with lack of features).
Yes there are some maps on the front news page. But they are forgotten after few days.
All that is just pain in the ass. Expectations are too big when support is almost none.
Lets take Shape Wars as example. Never seen it on bnet. Dunno if someone is still working on it. Map like that can be made into something big.
Anyway. Those are few reason why its so quiet. And your map Evy, you stopped updating(towards positive side) so nobody is playing :) .
EDIT: I agree, there is not good reason to. If you make something good, blizzard will probbly stole it. They made that cloud over mappers where they thing they are in jeopardy. So much banned maps. So much hostility towards custom maps.
Another things is that Futuristic maps, meh. Wc3 had more resource and it looked more interesting.
There are lots of projects. But nobody is actually willing to do something. WEll everyone wants what they imagine in their heads to be finished.
Some things require time.
I was trying to work on few projects, but people always quit... And ones who have experience wont work in team.
Another thing is that this forums is just bad. Its functionality is very weak. Hive is way better. You can do anything here. Can search where someone posted, and there isnt profile of any user also. So...

OMG music.

Hm... I dislike having futuristic SC2 units in there. Only thing I dislike here.

Its not textured... Normal map can add details also. We're talking about basic shape here.

Look ok. But I think there is no need for those holes to be modeled in. You can mimic that via normal map.
Those spikes on the head. That might be changed somehow. They look strange, dunno.
Overall, looks quite good.

I think its not possible. How I heard.

Give me the model, and I'll see.

Go to wc3 campaigns or hive, not sure. Search for blinkboy tools. Name of tool is NeoDex I think. Its used for wc3 modeling.

Community isnt something. It looks like there are lots of mappers but no community.

Bitch on their forums. No use here. If all player would moan, all sc2 players, system would collapse.
And who doesnt understand this thread, avoid it.
