The Tale of Archon Discussion/Updates

Yeah its been out for like 3 weeks now ^_^

It sucks, I've calmed down now. Man I bashed the crap outta that poor dude, hell he was just doing his job...

Well I turn 17 on October 16th, so I'll still be able to go see it relatively soon.

- Iron_Ian

hah! it's only a 15 in the uk. i am younger than you ian and can still see it ^_^

i wasnt planing on going to see it, but i might now just to piss you all off

(joking, but i MIGHT go see it, didnt know it was out)

You've changed alot Ian. Whatever happened to the calm, patient Ian with posts full of smilies? They're getting rarer now I've noticed. The fucking world indeed...

^_^

Theres still smileys in most of my posts, at least anything in which I was remotely close to happy in, which most of the time I am quite happy, or bored.

I just so happened to be in a very bad mood at the time, as my friday night entertainment was taken away from me. :\

^_^ o_O :o :(

Well, he is back on track(or heading there)right ian? Anyway have fun with your overpowered computer in the time being because ONCE FOOTBALL SEASON IS OUT ILL HAVE NOTHING TO DO BUT ' INCOURAGE ' YOU TO WORK ON IT! yes, those cold and long winter days will soon be here leaving me to do whatever and make sure that entertainment is made for me, you thought you were pissed off at that ticketmaster, but you hadn't seen nothin' till when you declared (or thought you did outload in a public forum) that ttoa was no more. I was ready to smash something like my head. My head/ computer moniter's well being now depends on your feelings toward continuing or not on your project. now how screwed up is that?

*Chug-a-Chug-a-Chug-a-Chug-a-Chug-a-Chug*
"HOLY SHIT! Engineer Osoona! The track is broken!"
*Chug-a-Chug-a-Chug-a-Chug-a-Chug-a- screeeeeeee*
*Several cars flip over and the train topples off the edge of a cliff*

That would suck eh? o_O

I've been playing demos like crazy:
Thief 3, Dawn of War, Doom 3, Rollercoaster Tycoon 3, I wonder what will be next ^_^

It's homecoming weekend at my school, and as usual I couldn't score a date... hell I didn't even bother asking anyone, why go through the trouble when no or "I'm already going" is the assured answer? Bah oh well, I'd really rather just be at home mapping or something.

'Night folks,
Iron_Ian

Yea i couldnt get anyone to go with me either, i asked one person but well........At least were losers together.

Hahah suckers.....


As we all can see, its only a matter of time before Ian qiutz TTOA. As well as all the community. Its only a matter of time before wc3 is dead, also bnet is dying. Im not blaming anyone, but thats just how it is. Yeah it suckass, but theres is nothing to do. We all knew Ian wasnt going to make 15+ parts. It would have been finished in 2012 :\

hmmmm, You say u need new Skinners and modelers for every part. You might as well ask for a pro Director for your cinematic as well.

I say Nay! TTOA doesnt need any pro skinners or modelers. What we need is a bigger team. Erwntpeller(that good skinner) is making kick ass skins with out model edits, a friggin sasquash was made into a sweet looking Druid by reskinning it alone, The night elf hero women(i'm bad with names) was made into a damn troll.

We need i deas to spark up this story and make it way more appealing. This whole weak fragile little elves and dwarves with their little magics has to change. Reform.

Iron, I'm back after looking at the rest of whats out there and there really isnt anything like wc3. U can edit this sucker to make whatever u want, u cant do that with doom or halo or even the great and powerful GTA series.

I'll skin these things myself if must. Iron, u just gotta look for inspiration. I've seen over 50 movies last month and all i'm in the mood for is writing and drawing. If i could make cinematics i would have made 20 by now. Remeber, if the story is good, u can get away with having half ass models or even skins.

You got my help again, i find myself coming back to this site more than i used too.

Why does it appear TTOA needs wc3? you can continue it on several different modable games such as the one your helping develop, ian. Also i highly recommend that yall' go rent The movie 'The Alamo' if you havent seen it. It's the best movie iv'e seen for a good period of time. I give it a substantial 9/10.

Brilliant Idea Ossona! TTOA doesnt need to continue in WC3, WC3 need TTOA more than TTOA needs WC3!

But the alamo........if your going to see fiction i got a whole list of movies. These are just a few i own.

Troy
Princess.Mononoke.(anime)
The.League.of.Extraordinary.Gentlemen.
Disney.Hercules
Prince.Of.Egypt
Gladiator
Equilibrium
Chronicles.Of.Riddick
Ghost.in.the.Shell.2.(Anime)

For more ideas i have looked at several other games and their themes, such as the Legacy of Kain series and the new Prince of Persia.

All of these in one way or another inspired me to write/draw.

OMG I've wanted to hear those words from someone else for ages ^_^ ^_^ ^_^

And Metropolis, you are right as well, TTOA doesn't need Wc3. What I've really wanted to do for a long time if just write the story. Think in depth about each character, all the events in the plot, etc... if I had done that ages ago, I would been able to pump out cinematics much faster. But yes, now I'm just not into War3's candy graphics... I think the next cinematics I will make will be recorded from an FPS game... or Dawn of Fantasy.

As for those movies, I'll have to see some of those. Especially Ghost in the Shell, I've had many recommendations that it's a good movie. I've already seen Gladiator, TLoEG, Prince of Egypt, and Hercules. I want to see Troy, and I guess I'll probably see the Alamo and a few others once they come out on VHS.

Right now though, I've really gotta get back into concentrating on Dawn of Fantasy, I've been a bit slow lately, and I have a deadline to meet for something I'm working on, so I've got to concentrate on that the most. Then of course theres school. I've also started a little recreational project for Unreal Tournament99 to mix things up a bit. (DoF = RTS mapping, UT = FPS mapping)

I know I'll get back into the mood of writing for TTOA sometime here, but first I need to move on from War3. And hey, now that I've got pt. 1 & 2 done, I'll have a good guideline if I decide to remake the series on a newer game engine sometime.

The alamo is out on vhs/dvd........
and dont go and make it on a game my computer cant run.................. (just about anything more than UT2004....)

bah! i don't want to buy/learn to model for them all!

guess it's better than it dying though...

Why not make it into a full-fledged story and publish it (too)?

That'd be cool, and the book would have fake gold-rim edges!

I should publish my cinematic's history and story. People like the history, so...


Anyway, good luck Ian!
