Dota 2 TTW update #1

I lost a few precious weekends in a row, so development got delayed by 'a lot'. I brought a peace offering of some spoiler/teaser stuff so that people think that I'm working on the map

Sometime this week I'll probably make a Steam Workshop page for TTW, but I've been working on more important things.

There's quite a lot I will still do with the actual map, but this is it's current state. It's a bit more interesting than the Warcraft 3 version, but a bit less tropical-ly at this point (lack of Dota 2 resources - need to make my own, and that's very low priority)

It's obviously a lot more pretty in game with all the shaders and stuff. (Also zooming out makes the textures look... more repetitive than they actually are).

Also here's the custom team selection screen which (personally, I think) looks pretty cool. Again, lots I need to add, but usable enough for now.


The first builders will likely be the Troll Summoner (Troll Tribes), the Demon Conjurer and Rain Maker. Busy working on the Wisp King currently... But spell mechanics are hard.
I'd've loved to make other builders first, but there's a severe lack of models.

On another note;
I changed the goalie region a bit; made it symmetrical (I'm not OCD I swear ), flipped it and made it slightly smaller, simpler and more useful. Hopefully there will be some cool new mazes coming out. This shouldn't impact any (the exceptionally large majority) of the mazes and I doubt having the same path length should thaaat detrimental. It does mean that having 3 player in the goalie region is hideously inefficient though.

Oh yeah, and I swear this isn't all I've done (no, seriously, I've really done more), but this is the stuff I'm willing to show off for now

I can not wait for this to happen!
Can some sort of mailing list / early access be implemented for the ol' timers?

Thanks
I'll have to check though, but I think I can send a bulk email.

I thought its the same with Tropicle TD?

Tropicle TD is a rip off unfortunately

Seems I can't make a Steam page without actually uploading the map

I knew it! Almost all of english grammars are wrong. Upload it upload it haha

Will we be seing an update for Wc3 TTW with the new goalie changes?

Almost definitely not, sorry
All the hosts that I used (Twilight & Garena) have stopped allowing WC3, so I assumed that WC3 has finally died.
Where do you play?

I really miss playing TTW and i tried playing that "Faction TD/Tropical TD" these days and it feels too unbalanced/scaled. i just knew today that its a ripoff, i feel sad. but seeing that the legit TTW is in works now, im excited. keep it up!

http://iccup.com/en or Garena, Iccup conducts tournaments TTW

Oh wow, then maybe I'll get to it.

I used to play on garena even after they removed support for most countries.

But after this summer, I cant see more than 60(99% of which are bots) people in the Bulgaria RPG rooms. We used to have 2-3 of them full(225 each) at a lot of times last summer and TTW was really popular. In fact, for the past 3 years I have been playing TTW with mostly the same group of people.

I was really dissappointed when I logged in for the first time in 4 months yesterday and find out that absolutely all games are bot games. There is no room for player hosted ones.

If you change your mind please let me know. I just want to play ttw in reborn and thats why i started to modding

i didnt understand anything , i can play TTW or not ? and if i can tell me where pls

Not but coming soon.
Above is the work in progress; working on it at this moment.

Looking forward to it, tried Tropicle TD ( now called Faction TD) it sucks.

I am so glad to see the progress towards this map. It surely will be the most played map in dota2!

Have you made any progress towards a mailing list we could subscribe to for updates or perhaps a steam group for change tracking?

Once Valve re-enables workshop (map / addon) submissions I'll be able to beta test the map and potentially release it shortly thereafter.

Also every addon needs it's own Steam page (created when it's uploaded), which will track updates and stuff.

After looking for many new tower wars, and noticing none of them are worthy, this is the best gaming news in a while!

i just want to say that im happy that you are still making TTW alive . thumbs up!

Good day - Can I sign up to alpha/beta test the map?

Hey Zuul, if you add me as a friend on Steam; H3katonkheir, then I can set you when it goes from alpha to closed beta

Done~

I have some ideas as well. Will send you a PM or email when I can actually set it up in a readable format.

@H3katonkheir I also added you, steam is brightb. Would love to help, test or suggest as much as needed.

Howdy, are you taking on more testers? I would love to help in any way i can.

@YangZA I am but there won't be any testing for the next couple of weeks. I need to finish my exams.

Exams are done so no excuses anymore - if H3ka says anything about studying you are allowed to comment on his steam profile that he is in fact a slacker.

Happy waiting days hope you can stay alive for the hype train that's busy starting off.

Choo Choo

Shhh, you ruined the surprise but you are right. I'm sure I could come up with other excuses

No more excuses!
