The Tale of Archon Discussion/Updates

So can you tell us where Pt. 3 picks up? What can we expect. More walks in the park, or is this dog more than just bark?

Lol that made me laugh :ggani:

Its definitely no walk in the park :D

We're talking classy new characters, pimpin bad-ass evil characters, and fights like the worlds never seen before! :mtk:

Well maybe not THAT cool ;)

============================

In other news, the site is looking pretty sweet now. I'm working on a beastiary, and the history/info section. Though I still need to get my damn worldmaps scanned (and one drawn). Guess I'd better just pay a visit to Kinko's and have it scanned.

I still haven't done much of anything on the map but I am organizing other stuff. It takes alot more time then you might think it would (soooo many files :bgrun:).

Hum de dum de dum. Yup still organizing crap...
Still got more to do, but I've chopped up a good portion of it. :ggani:

I'll see if I can't get some manner of eye candy up for you folks this week :gsmile:

In pt3 will we see Darius? i kinda miss him *sob* i thought in pt 2 we would see him, but still will we?

Hes dead Jim!... I... I mean Ravan. emote_sweat

I think I posted alot about hows hes dead. That I'm going to add another lil' bit onto pt. 1 where he gets killzored.

I dont know if hes dead i have't read the threads. in pt 1 all we see is he's crawling out of the town and saying ,, ILL KICKZOR YOUR BUTTZOR FOR KILLING MAH VILLAGE!,

Ian, I've noticed that in most of the better cinematics, when the cinematic mode is on, then the little frame that houses the speaker's portrait and the words is totally black, and so is the top part, and the thing around their portrait. I will be working on my own cinematic, and I can't find the files that change it. I assume you have them, so, could I have them?
Anyway, more to the point of the whole thread! Very good job on TTOA, it rivals, if not is better than, COTN and anything else OUT THERE! Truly a landmark in WC3 cinematics. I can't wait to see your plot develop, good luck with number 3!

Sure I can give you a file to do that.

Woo! Its gonna take me some time to get used to the new site :P
Ah well I'll get used to it eventually. I'm just hoping we'll get the old theme back up for TTOA... if thats even possible.

i really doubt it, sadly...

Yeah probably not :(
I'll just have to repick all the colors and stuff again from scratch. Though I think I might have a post w/ all the info someone in the staff forum...

*goes to check*

Iron, sorry but i cant take it anymore. I gotta know what the hell happens to darius. PM or post it up here but i gotta know.
If you just recently decided to kill off Darius can you also tell me(since you wont be using it) how the story went from him to Archon.

Ok lets jump back to Part 1. Darius gets killed there. Yes he is 100% dead. No coming back to life, he is plain DEAD :P

Basically, another 20 sec or so will be added to pt. 1. A big fugly orc walks up behind him and opens up a can of whoop-ass on him.

Hope that clarifies things ^_^

Hey Ian. Get to work on Part 3, you havent been posting many updates lately. ;) I m really looking forward to this, and am just encouraging you to keep going on Part 3 and not give up. You should post some screenies or something, just enough to keep a loyal fan interested. :D

I know I need to, but I'm obsessed with organizing my messy computer. Still trying to free up space. TTOA stuff has yet to be organized either : /
I ought to be able to get my arse to work on the map this weekend :)
