hi guys. how's everybody doing. sorry if i'm taking so long doing what i'm doing. i know i've kinda vague about it. i thought i'd be finished last month and tell it as a surprise. anyway, just to be fair with ya, i'm making a DotA like map. ok ok, i know what some of you are thinking but i just started with one hero it developed into a passion. i'm nearly finished now, 1 more Hero and a little adjustments and it's up for Beta Testing, then i could relax for a bit.

i'm not really looking for a way to overthrow DotA, or be another map being played at Battlenet, or a little fame or notoriety. i guess i just want to prove to myself that "i can"...

I hate DotA now...I can't believe the WCg had such NOOBS in DotA. Stupid Enigma today I saw...he totally disgraced Enigma...same goes for the Sven who acted hero in front of everyone....sigh....sigh....I should get myself a group next year...

Here I am saying I hate DotA, yet here I am too, exceling in it....=.='

Argh! Darn Enigma! Argh!

I'm not much of a DotA fan but I'd be happy to try your map when you finish. I love that editor, so much customisation. I've been working on a map of my own. I get ideas all the time but just never see them through, but I'm dedicated to finishing this one.

friggin awsome!! what kind of game is it? like RPG, Mario, Zelda?

hellmonja · Regular Joined: 09 Jun 2006 Posts: 122

it's and RTS, Real Time Strategy game. but it also has some elements of RPG in it. like you have to level up your Hero and buy items to make it more powerful. (games nowadays are really hard to put into categories).

hehe! i did just for fun but i am very excited what other people would think. anyway, thanks for the interest in my map. will definitely send you the download link...

hmm, i feel kinda funny. last 2 days i saw DotA 6.36 for the first time. it had 2 new heroes and, i know it would've happened sooner or later, but i was hoping it wouldn't come this soon.

the two new Heroes used the likeness of two of my Heroes, which is no biggie for other mapmakers if that happened to him i guess. i don't know, i'm just afraid of my Heroes being compared with their more popular counterparts. i don't really like complicated, trigger-crazy, insanely calculated abilities. my Heroes only have simple abilities that i know would work nice together. but these guys, they're really killers. they have fancy abilities and stuff and as if the programmer really wanna show the world how good he is by making an ability with a 10 page JASS code as a trigger.

now that i've typed all these, i don't know what i wanna happen now. anyway, that took a bit of a load off me. i just wished i finished my map first before these 2 came out. i'm nearly finished, am just worried of the terraining part...

yeah i guess adding heroes on DotA has become a programmer's contest. who has greatest number of codes. who's code is more difficult to replicate and all that jass-- i mean jazz...
