lol, another one of these games? seriously ppl gotta make new storylines, but i liked the game
I would like to make a couple of suggestions:
1. Make more allied spawns since most of my games end with chapter 3 and by getting a massive attack on the base which kills everyone of the brown people.
2. Allied units should always send atleast some soldiers to the mission objective but atm they might never send them.
3. FIX THE CONSECUTIVE HOSPITAL ATTACKS!!! :P

In next version:
- Player dropping ally triggers BS protection and kick, same as my other map (Get to da Choppa).
- Fix consecutive hospital attacks again.
Any other suggestions can be dropped here or in PM.
Zombie Outbreak RPG? is it resident evil maps？
why does it get stuck on the upgrades?
is there any way to get past it?

4. Make the User Interface look decent, for two reasons:
- to make it as easy as possible for the player to focus on the core gameplay
- if the game has a tough learning curve, the player needs to know that the game is worth learning, some kind of indication that you actually designed great gameplay. even a bit of UI effort helps them stay engaged instead of leaving too soon to appreciate the game.
>> you did pretty much say my mapping skills were ‘unprofessional’ because the map isn't pretty enough.
Not at all. Why would you assume the worst possible meaning of what I wrote?
>> ...most of that is just pointless...
A better term is "secondary". For an original creation, my typical mapping development life cycle is:
1. Brainstorm a fun, interesting gameplay concept. (In my latest, Auction D, the key idea was "free-market valuation of defense units", instead of the typical "$100 for a marine" kind of thing)
2. Make sure that it is reasonable to implement it in SC. (I was working on a vertical shooter a week ago and abandoned it because of SC's extreme limitations regarding unit orders and subroutines)
3. Implement the gameplay. To quote the indispensable Orc Peon, "Work, work."
(continued)
Nah I'm a few specific maps I've encountered that were all shined up and pretty with all the colors and bells and whistles, if you were to base 'Professional' on that, but were just shat unbalanced 'Move unit to beacon for mass-attack' BS for gameplay.
Didn't make any insinuation that being pretty meant BAD gameplay, words in my mouth man, but you did pretty much say my mapping skills were 'unprofessional' because the map isn't pretty enough.
I guess a run through the string editor could splash some color on things fairly easily (instead of editing every text trigger), but most of that is just pointless in comparison to finishing up the mission structure or making sure one overpowered unit can't bum-rush the whole objective.
Just meant it exactly the way I said it: "I have better things to work on than prettiness.
>> I think a lot of text coloring and terrain blending and sprite usage is just a sham to cover up bad gameplay in the maps you would describe as ‘professional’.
Complete nonsense. There is zero correlation between "prettiness" and "bad gameplay". If you want examples, find me on USEast sometime and I can show you.
This is coming from an experienced mapper who values gameplay more than any other single factor, but has a solid understanding of people and their motivations - why they play, what they're looking for, and what will happen when you cut corners on certain non-gameplay portions of the game.
But whatever, it's your map, you know your target audience. Do what you want ;)
I'm not too big on spiffyness. I think a lot of text coloring and terrain blending and sprite usage is just a sham to cover up bad gameplay in the maps you would describe as 'professional'.
tl;dr: I have better things to work on than prettiness.
Killing all of your medkits is a legacy trigger from when they used to all freely roam the map. Medics needed a cleanup whenever all the attack-capable units were dead. When I changed the medics to one-at-a-time and auto-following I didn't realize I could easily remove the medic-dumping, since it will only bring out a medic if you have a unit in the main gameplay area.
Since it hit #1 I was curious and played it with some friends. I'm not an expert, but it seems pretty consistent with other maps of the genre. I do have some general comments:
1. For professionalism you really should add text formatting (color/centering of triggered messages and, optionally, unit names).
2. When you die, you lose your stored medkits (bug or intentional?).
I don know how to play , i didnt like it , it get stuck at the upgrade and purchase area when i try get the motor cycle guy and the tank
Okay, so we THOUGHT we found a glaring exploit. Because the minerals used for upgrades are based on kills points, anything you kill garners points, especially hero types. The Wraith used for exiting the viewlocked shop is the Hero type Wraith, and gives roughly 70-80 minerals a kill. Two players can sit in the shop trading kills of the wraiths without even getting kicked out of the shop.
However, deaths of the wraiths DO count towards the infestation level, and though we were Hero class, 12/25 attack, 10/20 armor, the MASSIVE level hospital rush immediately after wiped us out faster than we could figure out what happened.
So though its an illegitimate resource method, it also has an incredible drawback; especially true now that an infestation increase when already at max level now spawns extra Ultralisks.
What a difference in pacing when you aren't stuck on the same mission for twenty minutes because a yellow unit wandered off, or even just the duration of the garrison missions.
I'm confident enough in the gameplay now to add the second half of the mission set and finally an overall objective (certain missions will disable invincibility of your target for a short period, hah).
Currently its difficult enough to complete a set of the second stage missions. I expect the third and fourth stages, once added, to be a nightmare.
I hope you enjoyed working on this map as much as I did with the original terrain, Ranzear.
Keep up the good work, I know you can make it better than I ever could.
Resource sharing in this version is slightly bugged that you actually get /more/ cash when you have a full room than what would be intended as less. If you want to max out upgrades in the first ten minutes then play this version, otherwise try the more challenging Build 35 or newer.
Contains an erroneous trigger that will prevent advancing to the second set of missions. Fixed in 29b, as always check the project page for the latest version.
