True DBZ ORPG will be my first major map project since wc3. Don't get to excited, It will be awhile till its playable.
I know everyone misses dbz tribute from wc3, well this isnt quite it. But with no popular DBZ maps in sc2, I thought id step up to the plate.
Planned Features and info:
save your character ORPG
Diablo style click to attack, and right click to cast spells. with keys 1-9 to change spells.
inventory system
Custom DBZ models
There are no levels for your character, instead there will be a customizable stat system, you will turn in "exp" for abilities, increase your powerlevel, or customize stats.
There will be saiyan armor you can craft/customize and upgrade after completing the required quests, and bringing the required materials to capsule corp.
When you die, there are no revive tickets. You will be stuck in the "other world" with plenty of quests. You can be revived by having a friend thats alive, collect all 7 dragonballs. I want this to give the feeling that the player actually dies. If you kill someone in pvp, it doesnt make a whole lot of sense for them to come right back within a minute or 2.
Unfortunately for now, you wont be able to trade items, to prevent glitchers/dupers.
Your powerlevel is both your health and your energy. This will make PVP and boss fights a bit more interesting.
You will be able to "power up" and regen your powerlevel.
Certain abilities like kamehameha you will be able to charge up at the cost of more power.
I havent decided how questing will be done yet. Right now im working on other aspects of gameplay. A very, very basic demo may be available soon.
I dont have as much time as most map makers. The first screenshots or video will be up in a few weeks. Right now im only about 3% complete lol.
Still working on the diablo style system, and creating abilities, working out bugs, terrain, etc.
If I had to give a date for when there will be a playable open beta, id say this upcoming christmas. But no guarantee's.
However testing and the majority of my time spent working on this map will be in the summer.
feel free to post suggestions, comments, questions, or if you would like to help at some point in the future pm me.
You cant make this, Copyright inFringment, if you do blizzard will take it down and delete your map, and then ban you.
But heres an idea
Godzilla Unleashed/DBZ tribute
Dimensions of despair, Destruction and torture. has been released
by the evil Vorech to reak havoc on the world of the living.
Now the Monsters fight for Domination
Three Dimensions three teams.
When killed monsters are sent back to their Dimension where each will have to do a different task to
come back to the world of the living.
City, Forest, Sea. Three areas, and one where they converge. In the convergence there will be Dimension of Peace which you will be able to buy items and pay for time in the training.
Creeps on map will be Earth Defense Forces Team 15
There will be Several act each with its own boss.
ACTS will be used
all controlled monsters will be peiced together so they dont just look like giant Stock units.
Campaign dependencies.
There you go, that was a map that I was planning, but never did, its DBZ tribute but with Monsters instead so it bypasses Copyrights..
ah hell so the dbz models i have will have to go lol. FUCKING SHIT!!! spent 3 weeks working on this. Didnt know. This was supposed to be an save/load RPG, unlike tribute. Unless I can find a way around this copyright BS, I may have to cancel the project. But I guess you cant really prove that the model is goku, it just looks a little bit like him? I dunno.
but hell, i thought things were only copyright if i was making money off it.
Haha, when I saw this topic as last active in project workplace the child in me went "YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSS!!!111". I don't know how I feel about D2 system, but if you think that regular sc2 controls doesn't suit your needs then who am I go against it :D
I wouldn't worry much about copyright as in names and franchises. I only know of maps that had trouble because of offensive (to blizzard) words and using music that didn't belong to them (copyrighted materials). And then they usually remove map and give you a warning + description of what went wrong, so if you're polite you can fix issues and upload map back.
So if you don't steal models from other games and don't spread music that wasn't intended for such free non-profit distribution in your map then you shoud be ok.
C'mon guys we have a complete Zelda conversion, with all the graphics from the original SNES version, how can this DBZ map be worst to copyright? And I've seen LoTR maps and Star Wars maps... You know the name Aragorn is copyrighted, you can't even name your character Aragorn even if he doesn't look like Aragorn at all, and still you can probably find maps on Bnet with this name on them.
I say go on and do it. I'd probably stick with Dragoon Bawl because I liked it. Why not "mix" a few SC2 festures in it? I'd love to see a green Protoss face with pointed ears and antennae... :-)
EDIT: At least give us a preview of those models ok?
No. If it gets popular, has copyrighted material and get reported IT WILL BE BANNED.
Just because nobody knows your map is published, doesnt mean maps cannot be banned. Atleast you should always consider the possibility of it getting banned. And if the maker doesnt even know of this possibility, ofc he should be informed.
And I support his project, but I just want to make sure he knows what COULD happen if it grows popularity.
Remember Blizzard does not accept Fair Use, as many companies, once they ban it, you have to either change it or leave it off.
Best luck with your project, Msg me if you need anything. and ill do my best to help out.

@TheRealHoboleader: Go
as long as the models are fan created those are fine, but you may have to use generic names like Alien.
yes all the models are fan created
so would making the name dragoon bawl Z ORPG
gaku or vageyta etc, work? I guess thats technically not copyright, but I may be wrong.
@TheRealHoboleader: Go
i would go a little further
Dragon Brawl Zeta , or something
The names are whatever.
I should probably mention that I'm wrapping up a custom that's loosely DBZ-inspired with Diablo 3 style controls. Gameplay is a lot different though.

Project Cancelled.
Starting over again, gonna salvage what I can from what I already have done.
This attempt v2, will not be DBZ, but will still be the same general idea of what I had before.
thanks for comments.
still aiming for an xmas release.
@TheRealHoboleader: Go maybe you could give SC2 models some DBZ feel to them? Still hope to see a green protoss+nameko hybrid XD
