Age of Heroes Beta

The beta testing for Age of Heroes has started. I put up a host bot to host games. Replays will be saved, and post all bugs/suggestions on the forum

Work (in games)

One of the most basic things to look for when trying to make your game more fun is work.

Age of Heroes

Age of Heroes is a new game I have been working on for Warcraft III. The premise was too take what Warcraft III did to Starcraft (less units, more spells, more intense micro), and do it again for Warcraft III. AoH is an RTS with ONLY heroes. There are no units other than buildings and workers.

Mechanics

Each player is allowed 3 heroes.

Gold is gained through income.

Income is controlled by the formula 50 + # of farms * 50

Farms are limited to 5 times the current town hall tier

Buildings follow a techtree, and sell different items for heroes.

Why We Play Games

In this post I am going to attempt to answer why we play games.

Firecaster

So, I am going to try to give an insight to what Firecaster actually is and how it came about. First will be the history. If that bores you, you can go skip down the the about section.

Stuff

I'm no good with titles lol. I guess I will get better with time. I just made a site for clan bom, so if you are here for that the link is www.firecaster.com/bom.

In other news, Firecaster server is back online. It may be a bit buggy, as I haven't looked over the current version that is on the site. I have a version that I was working on awhile back and will try to get that up with all the bugs fixed later. I am also going to be making another post about what Firecaster actually is later.

Blog

Well I am finally getting organized with all this stuff. On the side you can see links to Story Spheres and Firecaster. Firecaster server is currently down, I will try to get it up later with an update, but I have midterms so no guarantee. Some of you may have not known about Story Spheres, but it is kind of like a choose your own adventure book, but you get to write your own choices if one doesn't exist.

I have also decided to be much more open with my projects. Currently things that I am working on:

Firecaster (there will be an update soon, don't worry)

Story Spheres (mostly just maintance)

Learning AI (Will make a new post on this later)

Things on hold:

MND Online (for iPhone): Looking for a graphic artist, contact me if you are one!

Directx Headtracking (hack for directx to implement 3d headtracking into games. For more info click.
