Power Towers by nekochrono
Nekochrono has just announced his map, called Power Towers. What makes this different from the other TD maps? He has created a power-transfer system for the towers. Generators generate power and can be linked to other towers to provide them with power. Energy can be stored with capacitors for later use and chains of capacitors can be set up to hold extra energy for each wave. In addition, every tower level has its own model and every creep has a unique model. It has three different game modes, including a team mode where players work together and help each other out. All towers have varying abilities and six levels of upgrades. Make sure to check it out!
i don't know if i should be sorry, but i'm just gonna halt my criticism until i know (for example, if he responds like a responsible person)
as for the craftsmanship, SC2 map editing has a lot more to it... the finer the details, the more numerous the mistakes...
the heavier the hardware, the more tragic the collapses...
the bigger they are... you know that one...
the... the... the more abundant the analogies, the more probable it is for one to run out of said analogies
I don't think he will but perhaps. And that is true, he could be, but power towers was crafted pretty well and Idk I see a lot of problems with this one. Perhaps it'll just take him a little bit to clean it up a bit.
what if he IS the original author O_O
strange thought eh? different account name?
we'll wait for him to respond
ya hear that? he's dead on the spot with that comment. here's my advice... say this map was made by nekochrono original map made by.... on the loading screen. put it in big letters, and that will be enough FOR NOW. you really should talk to the original map author.
either way good job on the map it's still outstanding
The fact that he's selling it as if it's his own god damn idea is ridiculous. I hadn't seen the video until now and I'm rather pissed he purposefully say that it's his own unique creation. The terrain itself isn't even his creation. That's just sad.
I'm glad he went through the work to complete, but there is 0 need to rip off the original author. Honor him instead and give him credit. Obviously he likes the map enough to recreate it. Why be a douche and rip it off.
it's like mineralz, squad, and element all thrown together into a batch that offends the authors of all
i mean that in a good way keep up the great work :D
i made a naz^zombies map... which takes from the 2 naz^zombie maps of niteslayer, but i asked him for permission on the map and the name... i got his consent first... damn good point
I really wish he wouldn't steal credit for the idea of power towers. If I was the creator of the actual power towers I'd be pretty pissed. Besides, it has already been remade for EU last I saw (not sure if it actually got up there or not). Hopefully this one will be released in AM.
advertise enough and you'll have urself the next element TD (which incidently fell off of page one, but it was map #1 for a long time)
good luck
Power Towers was great fun in WC3. I suspect it'll be a lagfest in SC2, but I'm looking forward to trying it anyway =)
too bright... lights... my eyesssssss...
Interesting concept =p
Power Towers was my favorite WC3 map; I think I've been playing it since 2005, someone correct me if im mistaken. Also, The Space Game was published (on kongregate) in 2009, so if im right about when i started playing, PT was first. Also, that looks like it would crash some poor fellow's computer...
Power Towers sounds as if it works in a similar way to The Space Game. Any chance this was an influence?
I love the quiz :D
