Postponed to sunday and unsure i'll be able to make that date, if so it's pushed back till next weekend.

Reason: Attempting to make the last 2 UD heroes isn't going as fast as hoped (picking out skills is being problematic, and I dont think EotA needs a hero with 5 different ways to deal aoe damage)

Yea, I'm not going to finish two heroes before sunday unless a miracle happens. Well, i could potentially do it but the main thing is i want to give myself an extra week to give them decent spell graphics (and fix some for the other ud heroes that may be lacking graphics)

So postponed till next week.

No, the 5th is Saterday. Which would probably make the 7th release day if all goes well. Happy bday.

Bad news. Uggh.

I won't claim I haven't been screwing around some (I have), but I have spent a good chunk of my time working on making sure a test would happen this weekend. Its safe to say by this point that it won't. The vast bulk of my time trying to make good looking spell effects (which i'm happy with so far, btw, and I hope you all will be too), but my method of doing so is normally pretty slow, but becomes painfully so if something stops working and i can't figure out why it broke. So its not uncommon for me to spend several hours on one spell effect, or in my current case spending several days on one spell since its involves several big parts that I'm highly concerned with making look just right. Well, trying to make it look just right, and then finally giving up and settling for something that looks cool enough but not perfect. I couldnt make a cool looking volcano like graphic =(

So, test maybe sunday, but likely not. Depends if all the crap i have left to do goes smoothly or not.

Yak!

Oh well

You sure your not cooking up 2.0, waiting to pop out of nowhere with it? :p

Also... a new moddable game for a new map.. Eota map? well Blizz is announcing a new game, so maybe SC2? :D

PS: Yes I know im late on reading the Eota 2.0 posts :p

Btw: Even if War3 is kinda dead aside from Dota... :P Eota makes me come back so :D

Well.. At least that means that means were getting quality. Instead of,"I can't think of any moves to add to this strength hero so let's just put in storm bolt."

I've vowed not to touch EotA 2 untill 1.11 is finished. This isn't to say me and short havne't discussed various aspects of it, which has distracted me from working on EotA 1.11 often enough...

I'm likely to mod for SC2, but it won't be called EotA and I'm unlikey to make any design decisions on it untill I have a chance to actively play the thing (otherwise I wont have a good enough grasp of how the game holds up in various areas)

That one vampire map, where you hacked it where you could get into this place.

Hmmm, Parasite for SC2? Eota:Parasite? the posibilities :D

I don't remember ever hacking a map like that. The only thing close to it I think you may be refering to is the plague, and in that case I never touched it, it was just creative abuse of game mechanics that I learnt from someone else.

SC2 parasite....the models would obvioulsy lend itself to it well, but I'm not sure its something I would make. EotA: Parasite, the closest thing you'd get would be my halloween map =P Which I might fix up for next halloween. On the note, I'm still pissed at blizzard over that.

Well, in SC, the most popular maps were Defense (war3 mauls/tower D's)

Bounds (maze type thing, except it was exploding patterns instead of terrain)

Then mass slaughter/evolution maps, kinda like footies

RPGs, there are some amazing RPGs for SC.
