Blogs related to my sci-fi total conversion project for Warcraft III.
The big reason I released Project Y4 R01 when I did was because I wanted it to exist in some finished form. I knew that the day would come that I would reach the end of the motivational line, and that day might come before I had implemented all that I once dreamt of implementing.
R02 has been dragging its heels for too long. It’s time to admit defeat and close the door.
I freely admit that Project Y4 has not been particularly well balanced so far. I don’t want it to be, necessarily — certainly not the point of eSports blandness like UT2k4 or Starcraft II — but on the other hand, comments about its difficulty have run the gamut from sheer impossibility to I-could-beat-Drizzt-with-both-hands-tied-behind-my-back.
The updates I have planned for R02 probably won’t help, but I’m going to try anyway.
(Half of this post contains SPOILERS for the finale, so play R01 right now if you haven’t already… or just don’t scroll down too far.)
Just in case you were wondering, R02 — the long-prophesied content-focused update for Project Y4 — is still in development. On and off. I got a little bit sidetracked by loads of stuff, but it’s still happening, I promise! (I totally didn’t just buy System Shock 2 either.)
Would you like to know about some more bits and pieces that are going into it? I’m sure you would, wouldn’t you? Wouldn’t you?!
Yeah, so Arena Y4.

I kind of played rather a lot of Fallout: New Vegas and its myriad DLCs instead of working, hence the delay.
But now, ladies and gentlemen, I would now like to present to you… Arena Y4.

It’s totes like 24 or something. Toilet breaks all happen off-screen here, too!

Let’s leave terrain for now, that’s easy. Or at least, will be easy but since I plan to make some nice big prefab props may be a little time consuming. Let’s see how far we can get before lunch-time rolls around.
