Smashcraft by Mephs
Anything with "Craft" in its title tends to be good, like StarCraft 2. Smashcraft is the 3v3 arena map where you smash your button and smash the enemy's face. Without having to go through last hit and grinding, you will go directly to the team fights aspect of MOBA instead. The map is still on beta but you can try it anytime on Bnet US
This game is awesome! I've been playing it exclusively for a while now. No other customs or 'real SC'. haha. It reminds me a lot of the arena mode in Bloodlines Champions. Amazing what one can create with the SC editor... Hope to see more customs on par (or at least close) with stand-alone games released by smaller game studios. Keep up the great work!
Can't wait for the 20+ champions you are planning and additional arenas! Perhaps in the distant future once you've made all the champions and the *last* arena (on TL you said you were only making 4, but maybe you'll change your mind) you could think about adding a couple more game modes? I'm not sure what would work with 3v3 since things like CTF generally have 4 or 5 players per team, but who knows? And yes, I am talking about the *very* distant future. Fleshing out arena mode takes priority =D
Thanks so much for the excellent work!
This is SO awesome! I just love it when the first round starts up! :D With the music and all, very nice!
Realy cool map man. I think the new hero (sniper) shuld have the habilite to aim while casting the shoot (like with shift). Maybe this make her OP, but u could decrease damage. And she get out of energy realy quick and sometimes the stealth dont pop-up, dont know why.
Overall the map is great, i play whit you a couple of times. :D Byes
Had to finally stop lurking and make a comment on this: This looks awesome, would love to play at some point soon... What really caught my attention was all the Blazblue sounds (big fan of that series), really made this stand out to me, but I was already interested by the concept of a solid arena game with interesting abilities. As I said before, I'll need to try this out soon.
Maknyuzz, on hte other hand I hear every character is OP, so I'd say so far the balance is alright :)
Ace has the fastest reload time and his attack is INSTANT. Revolvers has 100 ammo but he has a .5 chargeup time and only similar dps to Ace if he hits with all 3 tracelines from his chaingun. Even then his dps is lower.
Ace is Assault because of the speed of his attack rate and the fact it does the highest single target DPS of all the ammo-based chars. I've never had the heroes glitch out like you are saying, but I'll keep an eye out for it.
In any case I love using Ace and sometimes pull off 1v2s with him, so I think he's probably a bit higher skill curve to play well, but he's definitely not as bad as you think ;)
Being this is still beta I'm sure I'll find some things to balance and tweak, and I'm constantly playing games with each patch to make sure any hero isn't too OP. I've already nerfed Rush a bit as a result of testing, so if I find more balance issues they will sure be kept up on. I'm not abandoning or slacking on this project. I still have 20 some heroes to make after all :)
Wow this game seem awsome.
Alot of potential, keep working on it, balance the map, and this will be one of the most popular map on bnet soon.
Great work Mephs !
Fuzzy D.
Lifebar im pretty sure is dialog with custom image for the bar.
Loving the presentation, with chinese characters on hero selection screen lolz!
- This game has glitch Mephs. i.e. often the game won;'t spawn any of the hero and stuck have to remake. - Raynor (Assault) is the worst. The grenede is useless. 50 Ammo? are you SERIOUS? 3 seconds and out of ammo. the ultra combo is lame as well. Balancing is totally needed.
If I can find someone to host on EU sure, but they have to be willing to boost it.
Wow. Amazing! I gotta say that I _LOVE_ the Final Fantasy Tactics victory music. Wooo!!
any chance of a EU release? looks brilliant!!!
How did you did you make the life bars? just curious.
The map is roughly 5 MB. I'd say that's not bad.
its... its beautiful... you got that without going over the map limit? O.o
