Standalone Game

[n4thyra]

Hey,

since there are no more updates to HH, the version .84 is far better and more fun than .80, but there are several bugs, which haven't been fixed since, and the development of https://hellhalt.com/ is basically dead (no progress in either funding/development for 5+ years).

I'm trying to port the game away from WC3 (old engine, laggy when too many units, problems with dcs, etc.). Since I am a web developer and it's what I know, I've decided to give it a go in the web environment.

I've only been working on it for 3 days and already have a decent clone of the game. It's not complete, there are many glitches, but it seems doable.
I am not sure if the browser will be able to handle too many units, it may be as laggy as in WC3 or event worse, but we'll see, in the worst case, I'll port it to a normal game engine, at the moment, it's just a prototype.

I wonder if people are interested in a standalone game or someone is willing to join and help with the development?

FYI, I've been working on the game for a week. I first started with a web version, I wanted to see what the browser is capable of, the map was rendering well, waves, builders, buildings etc. were working, but FPS were dropping a lot. Browser is not really built for this type of a game, at least for now.
So I've decided to move this prototype into a real game engine that's super fast and efficient.

Phase 1: Create a WC3 clone (btw it's not WC3)

Good luck but I don't think it's worth your time considering the dwindling player base and lack of contribution from people in general

I believe the player base could be a lot bigger if it wasn't just old Warcraft 3 with a map that's no longer maintained.
There are some limitations to the engine and you are forced to work around them.
I have never built a game before and decided to try something new, even if it people are not interested, I'll still learn something new.
Moreover, these days, you can build stuff real fast with AI.
