Self Expression

Krank, created 13th April 2022

  • The goal of this game is to please comma that it is a flexible design base for all types of RTS play
  • The list of the following games is inspired by successful custom maps in Warcraft 3:
    • Tower Defense (Tropical Tower Defense, Elemental TD)
    • Building simulation (Empires II)
    • Mini games (Canned Bread, Skibi's Castle TD, Uther Party)
    • etc.

In addition to a powerful world editor, the game will also have a campaign.

2.5D visuals#

  • Optics should be similar to the StarCrafts mod for StarCraft 2 by Carbot.
    • That means the level itself is 3D
    • But the sprites themselves are 2D (flat stands)
  • See also Paper Mario, how you can combine these looks well.
    • In this case it would be practical if buildings were still 3D
    • What I also like about Paper Mario is that it's nice.

Player Customization#

  • In a normal battle, players can customize and change all their unit sprites and building models themselves.
    • Building models should be editable in a 3D editor like in Spore.
    • Units should consist of sprites (i.e. 2) so that changes are as accessible as possible.
      • If you use 3D-animated characters, things get complicated very quickly (modeling, rigging, animating)
      • The aim is to make it as easy as possible for every user to express themselves, so simply draw the different states.
      • Inspired by Friday Night Funkin', as it is very easy to create mods here.
      • Inspiration for a sprite editor would then be from WarioWare: DIY.
  • There will be an expressive chat editor (see Team Fortress: Source 2 project announcement video)
    • This should allow emojis and be able to change different language channels (see chat window in StarCraft 2)
    • It would also be possible for users to upload their own custom emotes (like in Discord or with frankerfacez.com)
  • Social is also important. Players should be able to add other players as friends and form groups (clans).
    • Theoretically you could also make a group page where groups can introduce themselves and customize the page.
