Title: [RELEASED ]Doom Island Custom Map
Post by: WNG on 11 June 2018, 17:09:39
The Doom Island

(https://i.imgur.com/xjU2kLp.png)

Hello everyone, I will present you my second custom map. It is a mini-adventure where you will encounter new ennemies, new quests and new challenges.

Contents
1. About the map
2. Gameplay
3. World
4. Progress

1. About the map

On the island of Nisheung lived a community of peaceful traders in a small village of the same name. They have been living here for centuries, until they were recently driven off by some emerging tribal people. Allies quickly came to help and fight back, but those primitive warriors were far more numerous, making any counter-attack vain. The only situation is to evacuate the people from the island to the neighboring island.

However, the chieftan of Nisheung found out that the sacred gemstones had been stolen during the plunder. Those gems act as keys to open an hidden crypt, deep in the mountains, that grants great power... but also causes destruction. The chieftan failed at preventing the gems to fall into evil hands, now it is up to you to find the gems to prevent another apocalypse.

We all know you saved the world several times so far. You can do it once more!

2. Gameplay

This will be a map very similar to Titanslayers : a small main quest that will make you fight new enemies that are stronger than usual and will test your characters... or not. In wich case, you can play the Kaizo version. Yes, it will also include a Kaizo version, wich is a much harder version (and probably unfinishable alone with legit gear.)

Not only will the map be bigger than Titanslayers, but it will also include new loot, artifacts, relics and so on. The merchants will also sell new gear for you. However, remember that this new gear will not be usable outside of this map. For the curious, here is quick look at some items...

The image is kind of big, so I'm throwing it into a spoiler. Enjoy.

3. World

The map will be purposefully made bigger than necessary to give the players the feeling of exploration. The map will have a non-linear structure wich will allow you to go visit places in any order you wish. In every corner in the map may be hiding a secret quest, a treasure, or just a ton of ennemies you could have avoided. The goal is to provide every player a unique experience.

There will now be multiple types of scenery, as opposed to Titanslayers wich had only one. You will be going through peaceful groves, sinister forests, foggy swamps, rocky mountains, etc.

Since the mapping isn't quite done, I'll be posting pictures of maps later on.


4. Progress

The map is ready to be played.
Original version: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1494115556

Probably the same for my map: balanced and played at Legendary, playable at Normal and Epic, but no balance is guaranteed.

I may work on it a little bit, depending on my time and ressources.

That was my answer for sauruz, but I then decided to make a full adaptation to the Normal and Epic difficulty. That means that there will be relics, artifacts, uniques, affixes, etc. made specially for Normal and Epic.

So yeah, basically you should expect it to be playable at all 3 difficulty levels.

Looking for feedback!

Doing those little artifact images is fun but also very hard to make them look good among the others. I'd need your opinion. There's only 4 5 yet.

I had been working on items a lot lately, but I had completely forgot about scrolls! I made two and I think they look good overall, and sort of fit the drawing style from IT's scrolls.

There is a site called Kirmizi Perfect,featuring mods for various arpgs,including Titan Quest.You can also upload it there for non-Steam users if you want to(I am a Steam user).Aside from that,there isnt any other place on wich you can upload it.Good luck on the mod!

I recall looking at it long ago, hadn't found any Upload/Submit Mod option. So... that's embarassing but, you know where it is?

Heads up! I thought a little kind of update was overdue. I'll tell you what's done so far and what's coming soon.

Alas, no map previews for now. Many areas look empty for the lack of ennemies, or they don't render nicely from the editor view due to the fog or meteo. No worries though, it advances pretty well so far. On a side note, be prepared to see arid plains, mountains, marshes, forests, all pretty close to one another. You could say that isn't possible in the real life, and I'd agree with you. I just felt like doing some variety in the map design, unlike in my previous map.

As I mentionned in the original post, there will be new affixes. I just reached 50 ^.^

If you are a curious person, you may want to look at the list. Writing the bonuses for all of them would take too much time, but you probably can figure many of the bonuses just by the name (I think?)

New prefixes:
Absorbing
Antique
Avenger's
Beastamer's
Bladeflinger's
Enchanted
Fastlearner's
Glacierborn
Gruesome
Healthcaster's
Heavenly
Imperial
Indestructible
Lightweight
Loremaster's
Macabre
Paramount
Petrified
Phantom
Pilgrim's
Plaguemaster's
Radiantlight
Shamanic
Thunderstruck
Unmelting
Venomancer's
Vile
Virtuoso's
Wondrous
New prefixes:
of Armageddon
of Banished Evil
of Bargain
of Cosmic Power
of Elements
of Eternal Blazes
of Fusion
of Hurricanes
of Lifeguard
of Martyrs
of Nimbleness
of Pax
of Shrewdness
of Silence
of Suffering
of Toxicity
of Victory
of the Arena
of the Colosseum
of the Manticore
of the Witchunter

I might have a affix-design frenzy by the end of the developpment, so the list might grow even bigger. And that's for legendary only, forgive my laziness. But like I mentionned earlier, the map will still have some features available at Normal, including verified difficulty.

Below you will see new items available on the map. Some of them have numbers that are too big or too low, that's wholefully possible. Everything below is subject to change!

Among with new affixes will be new artefacts, relics and charms. I'm not going to spoil everything, just going to show enough for you to have a feeling of it. Also, relics and charms will have a version for each difficulty. As for artefacts, each difficulty will have its uniques artefacts. Also, you may need some outside items to craft them, hence there will be a caravan at your disposal.

New artefacts:

New monster charms:

Lastly, there will be new monsters (not actually new, but you get it.) For the occasion, they will receive their own new set of MIs with a fresh recolor. The bonuses will be different from the original MIs.

Well, that wasn't much shown about the actual map, but worry not, I intend to give more news about it eventually. In the meantime, comments, impressions, critics, everything is welcome.

Thanks for the reading and enjoy the rest of your day.

If there was to be any undesirable delays, it should be live in 1 month.

Hello, people. I am in need of feedback. Spent my evening working on the portal map. I know it looks nothing like in vanilla and does look a bit "amateur", but I do not have the software-time-patience to work on it any longer.

Your impressions are wanted.

I think you had to take normal size, that one is too small if we compare with other maps.

It looks good for an island map. I like the lighter blue line around the coast and the village / area icons.
Btw, do you plan to make it some kind of survival mod?
Title: Re: Doom Island Custom Map
Post by: WNG on 17 August 2018, 14:23:09
@efko I don't get it... you mean, because it is two islands, it look rather small? (Unlike in Greece, for example, where you travel acrosss the continent...) Also bear in mind that it is meant to be a small map, and not an entire new act.

@nargil66 That would be interesting to do, though this is not intent here. It's really just like my previous mod, a custom map with new quests, items and ennemies. Though, you will meet some people that are survivors.

Title: Re: Doom Island Custom Map
Post by: WNG on 17 August 2018, 22:51:36
Glad you like it. But adding more places is unlikely, to be honest. The questline is all set up, and I want to move on other projects (maybe TQ related.) It is a bit longer than my previous map, plus many new items and stuff, so I feel it is decent. It can be done pretty quickly, but I guess it will remain a somewhat enjoyable experience.

1st of all, GREAT JOB, really the concept is well made, and the creatures are cool! ( arrived at shores of resistance) dang!

i did noticed some things:

1-NeuroToxin charm , the price for selling is 200 gold while viny grow its 1000 gold ( its a minor thing) not big deal
2- the forest spider champion type ( spit ..something i forgot) die way more fast than the lurker ones
3. when i get the scrap of wood my game laggs alot ( maybe it was my pc i will confirm later)

i will try play abit more later tonight!
