Dota 2 RPG
« on: October 11, 2014, 03:03:51 PM »
This project began a while back when I wanted to make a dota2 spoof for a Crappy Game Contest (Intended irrational/difficult/fucked up games). However, my usual prestige lead me to try making the game as authentic as possible with gold prices and stats and creeps and item fusing and so on. So what at first looked like a good days of work soon turned into me nitpicking things for 2 months or so.

The game got a few systems implemented into it that worked out pretty well if you are more interested in getting that kind of inspiration.
For example theres:
Life steal on normal attacks
a system that makes items increase a characters max hp/mp
a system that adds hp and mp regen in battle when actions are taken
Item fusing when the right combination of items are owned.
The game remembers the health of towers even if you are defeated or escape.
Enemy pathing on the map
Fog of war preventing vision
Choosing what skill to learn on level up

So what is the game? Well it's a rather silly take on Dota 2 where you fight an enemy team and only control your main character (if you prefer to control all characters and own a copy of RPGM2k3 you can easily change this though in the database). The character you control is Pudge, the best character in the game without a doubt with great ganking capabilities and all that crap. The original idea to implement a class system with all the heroes of dota2 fell the moment I realized that there are like 112 heroes in total.

As in the real dota you need to take down the creeps that spawn to earn gold and experience points and push your own creeps so that they reach the enemies towers and can damage them. To win the game you need to push your way into the enemy base and destroy their Ancient (big shining building). Along the way are also your enemy heroes, capable of getting their own gold and experience point to defeat you as well.

Some advice, just as in the real dota:
Don't die, you will lose money, fall behind and feed the enemy team.
If killing creeps is going slow, buy a Quelling Blade to deal more damage to them.
Team up with the creeps from your team to avoid taking all the damage yourself in battle. Just remember to stay in your lane or the creeps will leave you.
Team up with your other party members when you reach lvl 6 or so to start ganking and pushing for realz.
Kill Roshan to get an Aegis of the Immortal that lets you revive upon death.
Kill creeps in the jungle to earn some extra gold and exp.
Remember that Rot affects both yourself and the enemy, so don't level it up too high or you'll kill yourself.

I'm trying to play purple, but there seems to be quite a bit of lag walking around the map, when you do the fog overlay or any picture do you have a small wait afterward to keep it prom constantly processing the picture and making it lag?

Honestly, I think I missed it. Maybe my beastly computer made me miss it. I'll fix it tomorrow or so and update the link though if it will fix the issue.

You were completely right my friend, by adding that delay the game is running a lot smoother. I will try to optimize some of the parallel events as well to see if i can improve it even further

Taking the opportunity to double check some things. Noticed a rather big problem where if Pudge dies in combat with creeps, and the creeps win, you can still move around after the battle with pudge dead. However, if you move away from your lane at this point, the creeps are removed from the party. The only person left is pudge with 0 hp and so the game force a game over screen. Told you it was kinda big. So just few more minutes and I'll have it uploaded

Okay updated the game with some fixes.  Just updated the files so the old links should take you to the new versions of the game. Enjoy!

The game is pretty awesome, I have to say though the battles start out pretty lengthy.

Yeah I know,Just like in the actual dota. The first version let you invest your first skill point in anything you like. So if you put one down for rot you could farm too efficient. So the first battle or so before lvl 2 will be longer like that. I suggest that you invest in a Quelling blade to deal more damage with normal attacks against creeps. Items that increase agility also tend to be rather useful. And if you enter combat and you face one of the groups of 4 creeps, escape from it and bump into the creep again until you face the group of 2 melee creeps. Takes a lot less time. Also, I hope you're clicking the radiant creeps to get those 3 on your team.

Why wouldn't you? You will either have or face Mirana in pretty much every game you play anyway. And people like playing sniper. And phantom assassin as as right-clicky as they come.
The hero team is pretty much the most played heroes to be honest. So that's why.

I think I've dealt with most of the bugs by now. At least no one have informed me of any other.

Gotcha. I just say that because in the pro scene, that comp would get wrecked. But casual games, hey why not. Jokes doh
