The Chosen Ones

Hey!

Into this thread I upload the newest pictures how I'm making chapter 6's lava stage. Through this area you'll have to  travel first at the beginning of chapter 6. Also here will be the fight with Elite Boss.

What do you think? How can I improve this?

It's still under construction.

Well, in my opinion, you could add some living creature into the lava if you aren't thinking of doing that already, maybe some weird looking fish jumping up from the lava from time to time, and maybe it is able to attack you for very little damage if you are very close to the lava, something like a piranha that lives in lava instead of water. A constant earthquake that shakes the screen up and several rocks falling down seems to be good for me, but this might be available only in harder mode as the screen shakes up, it is harder to control your character.

You could add some plant growing on some of the rocks or cliff, or probably even on the lava as well. Another one that I think of is that you could design some of the rocks or cliff into something like an evil laughing face, since this stage is on Chapter 6, Kar'Gath right? Which is a place of evil, instead of making them just a normal rock or cliff.

Mmm i got 2 suggestion:

- Make randomly bubbles apear on the lava.
- Some rocks in the lava place

I like that lava bubble idea! I'll see if anyone can do such a model for me...

Yes, there will be enemies at lava. You have given some great ideas, I'll think about them if I can create.

I guess you could add :

- some skeleton doodads, like skeletons hanging from the wall and such. Also, as in Broodwar, a giant critter skeleton out of a hole or from the lava (I tried to search a photo, but this is pretty specific. If you played SC, you know what I mean... it's a doodad from Badlands... a giant skeleton trying to climb a hole). That would be pretty shocking and badass...
- Maybe some souls (translucent versions of existing charachters, like villagers) walking over the place, inside and outside the lava area. Of course, they are unselectable.
- Some lava bursts in random areas from time to time.

Maybe do a grim one like this, but well hidden, so when the player see it, he would be like : "omgwtfbarbecue the cliff has a demon face !  "

Hmm, I have never played SC1's expansion, only the original game.  Lava bursts, hmm, hmm, hmm.

And I have attached to this post the old pictures of this place. Thanks for the ideas guys, it's been very long since I have been "terraining".

Hey, Aero, I think I'll give a shot at making those lava bubbles if you want. And check your inbox man, I've sent you the finished model I was working on.

Well, here you go.... Stand-in model till I try something else....

It's done. It's a lot different in the game however...

EDIT: Some pictures more, still not ingame pictures but a little more closer.

I think that needs a whole new model...

I'm fine with the current stage.
