Christopher Weary mod Experience

         I am a huge Diablo II fan so i had no choice but to find a mod for this excellent game. With that said, i actually found a bunch of really interesting mods, but i'll only mention two. 

(you can find it here http://modsbylaz.hugelaser.com)

         I was only able to get one to work, the one i got to work was called MEDIAN XL. I did not get to far into the due to time factors but i played until i got to level 8 or so. The character I played was a Necromancer type of dude he used totem spell that he creates from dead bodies it was a nice idea but the character was really over power for being so low leveled. he was able to make  six totems that shoot ice infernals at the spells first level,if you put him in a group with a tank then they would unstoppable. i don't even want to imagine the high level forms of the character. As for any change in the story i have not even played it long enough.

The other game i found was  called Back to Hellfire and... Oh my flahtrucking sweet lord jesus have some mercury on my soul toast GOD! This game looks seems amazing it has all the upgrade and advances  Diablo II:LOD  and the atmosphere of Diablo 1, but i cant play this game so this is only thing i can say.

Our High Concept

Level Design High Concept
Game Title: First Wave
Created by: Jordon Davis, Christopher Weary, and Lionell Fisher
Date: 11/ 29 /09

Table of Contents:
1. Genre
2. Target Audience
a. Game ESRB Rating
3. Brief Description
a. Setting
b. Main Character
c. Enemies
d. Goal of the Game
4. Competition
5. Research for this Project

1.) Genre:
First Wave is an RPG shooter that plays like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic or Mass Effect. This game would be played on the PC or X-Box 360 game console.

2.) Target Audience:
The Target Audience would be male American style RPG lovers between ages 14 and 25.
a.) The ESRB Rating of this game would be T for teen because there would be some minor foul language and lots of action. However, there would be no blood or gore during game play and no nudity or sexual references.

3.) Brief Description:
First Wave is a game about a team of elite soldiers who are trying to stop infectious alien plan spores from ravaging the earth.
a.) The game would take place on the planet Earth 100 years from now. The player would fight their way through many types of places ranging from forests and mountains to destroyed cities and underground bases.
b.) The main character of this game would be a young soldier fighting for the Resistance named Cage. His allies would consist of elite soldiers, pirates, and scientists who are all trying to survive the spore plague.
c.) The antagonists of this game would be the hordes of infected plants, animals, and humans who are trying to exterminate mankind. Infected individuals are extremely strong as well as violent and seem to travel in packs.
d.) The goal of First Wave is to fight through hoards of enemies upgrading your characters, collecting valuable treasures, and completing missions in order to take down the forces of evil.

4.) Competition:
The competition of this game would be Action RPGs such as Mass Effect and the more recent Final Fantasy games. Also, this game would have to go up against epic titles such as The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Gears of War 2.

5.) The research I would need to do for First Wave would involve looking at new age weapon mechanics to make my combat seem more realistic while still having elements of fantasy. I would also need to look at pictures of areas similar to the ones in my game such as forests, mountains, and deserts.

Jordon's mod experience.

Playing a Lord of the Rings mod on StarCraft

I decided to play some old school StarCraft, and download a map off of battle.net. I love the Lord of the Rings trilogy and so I chose to download a map that was moded to look like the battle of Helms Deep. The map was done quite well done and it looked like several people have shared and refined the map over the years.
The actual layout of the map was very much like the movie. The only major problem that I had was that errors kept popping up all over the screen because of the amount of units spawning on the screen. If you played the map as the heroes (Aragorn, Legolas, or Gimli) then the map was pretty fun because you just get to run around slaughtering loads of guys. However, if you played as the humans, elves, or orcs then the map kind of difficult to play because of the amount of units that you had to control.
I think that if professionals had created this map it would have been way better. There would have been no errors and the number of troops would be under control. I also think that the ground and structure textures would have been better chosen.

Lionell Fisher Mod post 1

The mod game I played was sonic 2 featuring shadow the hedgehog. The game was put to
gather very badly. So of shadows animations skipped a frame so it looked like the walk animation was interrupted and then the animation starts over. This was a very interesting mod, shadow skates instead of runs and tails is now a chao. Forget about starting on green hill you start in the chemical zone “take that”.
