A couple of days ago, a few friends and I, played Zerg Hunter RPG: Betrayal. As best I could tell we were all extremely enthused by the game. Some of the best 3 hours of Sc2 we've played. Afterwards we all decided that we really wanted to play more cooperative games like that in the future. Unfortunately the second part of the Zerg Hunter series isn't out yet, so I've been fishing around for some similar maps we could play.
So far I've found a couple, but I'm still looking for more. If anyone has any suggestions that would be greatly appreciated. Ideally the map should be 4 players, but 3 or 5 will also work.
I watched all the videos on your project page. Seems like an interesting project, an ORPG isn't really the type of map I am looking for. But on the other hand this doesn't really look like and ORPG at all. I'll keep it in mind and perhaps suggest it.
While I cannot give you a solid ETA, we are hard at work on Escape. You can keep up with updates at my forum, which you graciously linked to for me ;-)
There's a map called "A lava runs through it" on EU. It's nothing special (no story, no polish, no immersion... pure gameplay), but you might find it interesting.
There's also a couple of awesome stealth maps out there - I remember two fairly well. No idea what their names are, but I do remember they were pretty standard (stuff like "ghost, infiltrate, stealth", etc); you should be able to find them if you put in some effort. None of these maps are hallelujah godsend crazy either, but playing through both of them in an organized team should keep you busy for an hour or so.
Unfortunately we are playing on NA, I had a look around for "A lava runs through it" to see if it is published over here, but to no avail. I'll keep an eye out for those ghost/infiltration/stealth maps. Thanks though :)

It occurred to me that a great game for what I am looking for would be something like "Dungeon Crawlers: Broken Oath" from Wc3. That was a fun game, too bad I haven't seen any Sc2 maps like that yet.
Tried Death Haven as well? It might fit well into your coop request... people seem to like it. It's on page 1 US and I have no idea about EU.
Edit: Oops I read you're looking for adventure/RPG on title... well still if you're looking for coop it might be interesting for you... option's out there...
A Day At School RPG is exactly what you are looking for, think of it as a GTA SC2 version. I'm aiming release for the beginning of summer, so stay tuned!
We have actually tried that map at a previous time. Despite it not being an Adventure/RPG it kinda fits into what I am looking for, and it was pretty enjoyable. We played 2 or 3 times before we beat it.
I liked how it was set up as a mission of sorts, and at the end you have to get back to the ship. The Final Boss was quite easy though.
The real problem with Death Haven is initially it is almost impossible, but every time you play it, it becomes considerably easier, because you gain access to new abilities. __
Hmm, I really want to get some screen capture set up to record these playings. I just can't find a free application for mac that records both video and voice chat, and doesn't involve using Terminal.
Also I've said RPG/Adventure, but really any cooperative map where you control a single unit is suitable.

I'd suggest our project - Warlords ORPG. We are going to test it in 2 days, or 3, so if you want, you can try it. It's 6 players :)

Glad you liked Betrayal, Ardnived!

@Zantai: Go
I'll definitely check in there now and then to see what version your at (I presume you release at v1.0?). Looking forward to Escape :D

Well I'll take a look when you come out with some information about it.
Been a while since I checked this but I am still hoping to find some more maps, and my own searches haven't turned up much. So this is a bump.
You can look forward to ZHRPG: Escape in about 2 weeks ;-)
Oh great :D
