  So let me get this straight, just in case I'm wrong: This map, is a huge RPG experience with huge dungeons, expanisve content, custom content, exploration, discovery, and a mix of sandbox and adventure?!?!?

    That said, yes I hope it captures at least some of the feeling of this game. :D Pre-hard mode and hard mode, to balance with the new mod stuff, are both going to get a notch up in difficulty, so that getting the upgrades will be necessary and satisfying.. Mmm you shall see soon. And I can stop being vague ;P

    If you do ever make another map with the Red Cloud Mod, how about branching paths? It'd be a complex chest setup using hidden chests and such to choose to make a sword. Also, I heard you said something about sacrificing to a god earlier on your work on the map. Will this be a karma choice?

    Yea I might make a pure sand-box version just for the fun of it. We shall see. The sacrifice is more of a narrative device, I'd say. But it is optional, though, to advance the story.

  Creating a boss mashup using Omnir's Mindflayer sprite and W1K's Death AI, with any other tweaks I can muster with minimal coding knowledge

    Ah, yeah that bit is a bit confusing. Good luck!
    
    The Lich wasn't well animated, was it? XD!

    I actually thought you did a good job on Lich. My house mate saw it and actually complimented how good it looked, not knowing anything about it beforehand. I mean, it's using more complicated animations than anything in the original game. By the way, will you be putting anything out for the boss competition, just for fun?

  Just made a new magic item, the Bloom Shards enchantment: short range blue crystal particles that linger in front of the player. Fun times.

  Spent three hours last night getting an enhanced Magic Mirror mod working with dust effects (based off Empio's Farore mod).

  2. Tim Hjersted
    And I finally got the dust effects working! Yay!

    Oddly enough, the use time being set to 90/30 is what was causing it not to display on teleport. Put it down to 2 and it worked like a charm.

  Mod... OVERLOAD. Seriously, I don't even know if I want all these mods anymore, I'd never use them besides your map.
  
  Apr 4, 2012
  2. Tim Hjersted
    Yea there's a ton to choose from. I'm currently going through the selection process now. Picking out the best stuff from about a dozen mods. Definitely gonna be paring it down to keep it focused and the quality high
    
    Apr 4, 2012
  3. Tim Hjersted
    Plus a lot of it will be discovered or crafted, (and some stuff will have upgrade tiers, so if you don't upgrade an item you'll never know what that can be upgraded to) so no one will likely discover everything or use everything, ensuring everyone has a unique experience.. depending on what you want to specialize in.

  If you're planning on my playing my custom map "The Story of Red Cloud," do you plan on playing the single or 2 player version? Thanks!

  Getting started on the last 2 dungeons then on to the last 4 bosses, game balance, mod integration &. yea I won't get too ahead of myself :)

    The end sort of feels in sight. Sort of :p

  I'm considering waiting until after April 15th to release the map so that I can include some of the bosses from the CMHQ boss competition.

    This is true. Just hoping. I'm also awaiting CMHQ to release their Egyptian themed Pharaoh boss. Though it won't be required. And there's an exciting looking spells mod that will also be releasing on the 14th.
    
    Apr 2, 2012
  4. Tim Hjersted
    Either way, I've just started diving into mod integration, which will probably take at least a week or so, as I'm going to be tweaking several things and also changing the crafting requirements for everything I include (which will also involve game balancing and such) so all that is going to be keeping me busy. :)

  5. Tim Hjersted
    In related news, the new game mechanic/mod that CMHQ is helping me with is working like a charm. Just up to me now to get all the crafting recipes balanced. Cheers :)

  Made some great progress on area 10 last night, almost finished with it and have started on the desert area on the other side of the map.

  Finally worked out the issues I was having figuring out the color scheme/concept for the 8th dungeon and am now moving on to areas 9 & 10.

  So how goes the map? Looks awesome, even without screenies. And I posted this on the thread, but if you release this map right away, the prefix mods with Reborn will blow us away. ALSO: Suggestion of map versions (If you want more)
  Vanilla
  Reborn
  W1K's
  Possibly Obsidians
  All
  
  Mar 25, 2012
  2. Tim Hjersted
    Thanks for the suggestions. Spot on the money as far as what I have planned so far. (Remix of Reborn, W1K, possibly Obsidian's mod, and then after this, releasing the vastly less awesome (by comparison) vanilla version :) As far as number of players goes, I'm wondering which you're looking foward to more/plan on playing: the 2-player coop or single player?
    
    Mar 26, 2012
  3. drsonic1
    Hmmmm, probably single player, as I have only one Terraria friend, but he hates adventure maps. I think it would be pretty cool if it was two different version altogether, with pretty much double the items, some puzzles replaced with co-op ones, and story changes.
    
    Mar 26, 2012
  4. Tim Hjersted
    Thanks for the input. I'm curious what your friend likes to play in Terraria since it is basically an adventure game by default. Right now I've been designing the map more with coop in mind but it won't take too long to edit it for solo play (I'll release both at the same time). There are currently only a couple challenges that are coop dependent so they will be easy to change.

  Keep it up and let me know when you have a finished version and I'll test it out for you ASAP. :D

    Hey ahamling, I was curious which version you plan on playing: the single player or coop version?
    
    Apr 2, 2012
  4. ahamling27
    Single player. Sadly I don't have reliable friends with Terraria to play with...
    
    Apr 2, 2012
  5. Tim Hjersted
    Same here. I know what ya mean. Well, this is good to know, originally I thought most folks would gravitate to coop, but it sounds like I should focus on the single player anyway. This definitely has it's benefits, as a lot of great mod content is currently not compatible with multiplayer.

  Made some good progress tonight fleshing out the beginning and middle of the story. Fun stuff.

  Half-way complete on dungeons 7 and 8, and getting the major broad strokes painted onto the last third of the map.

    But as I get more into it I've been designing the map more and more with mod support in mind, so I'm wondering if I should even release a vanilla version, or at least release that after the primary mod version.
    
    Mar 21, 2012
  4. Tim Hjersted
    Without the mods in use folks will have several boss arenas with no bosses to fight. Not to mention one of the mod bosses is being written into the story as the main antagonist... So.. yeah.. :p I'm considering scrapping the vanilla release, but I'm open to thoughts and suggestions.
    
    Mar 21, 2012
  5. drsonic1
    Well, if you set it up that way, you should make a vanilla version, then release it after the mod version. I'm sure people can wait if they don't want to download tConfig, because I hate to see people with stupid anti-viruses heartbroken they can't play this awesome map.

  Finished the 5th dungeon and half-way done with number 6, then... Hard Mode...

    Half-way to release right? Right?

    Yea I'd say so. :) Making some good progress on the 6th dungeon tonight, adding in a lot of details at this point.
