TRAILER

A new year, new possibilities (unless the end of the world happens or something).

Historical Hero 2 will be a direct sequel to the original HH. The plans have been on the makings for some time. Nothing big has been done yet. Only around the same amount that had been done when I created the Development Thread for the first game.

Plot:
Dink has become famous in Derlicon since the happenings in the first game. He receives a message from Mayor of Old Tutras, who reports of a crystal stolen in their mines. Dink travels to Tutras, starts investigating this crime, but ends up in the middle of a much larger scheme.

Gameplay & Map:
Gameplay will basically involve everything (improved) that was available in the original HH, and much much more. The map will take place on the same mainland, and someone who has played the old game may recognize some of the mapping and references, but overall, the map will be completely new to the player.

Size:
Epic.

Release date:
2011-2013 (in the current schedule and plans).

Screenshots:
Dink finds a letter waiting in his home.
An obstacle.
Comedy never fails.
An optional quest.
Mister Magic Pig.
Interesting.
7/5/11
Some powerful dudes
A freaky guy
Dink breaks an obstacle with a new and improved MageFist

Other:
Some of you may be wondering how does this effect The Dark Phoenix's Middle Night. Honestly, I don't know. I do not feel like creating it at the moment. Instead, I see this community quite dead these days, and thought that this may bring a little more life into it. Hopefully, the current contest will give me enough potential to finish Middle Night 3 inside the following month for the contest. If it doesn't, I will most likely go back into working on this, and you may not see my other games in the whole year. But I promise, when I start a D-Mod, I will finish it. That is a fact, that will stay.

Hail,
Skull.

Great.

I see this community quite dead these days, and thought that this may bring a little more life into it.

There's an active contest with many interested developers and imo the community isn't more dead now than usual. Claiming that you're making a D-Mod and that D-Mod will bring more "life" to the community is a bit arrogant.

But anyways, great. I liked the first one and I'm certain this will be good too.

Looking forward to it hope the crystal is a magical one as that could lead to quite a lot(doesn't have to be as kinda is overused but so useful for a good plot). and hope you make the deadline because I kow my progress on my bigger project is so slow (will and well there is one i have to start but that one i can wrap up quickly(contest entry ))

I don't know. I certainly have felt the community has been "sleeping" as JugglingDink said. But maybe that's just me. Oh well. Bringing more life to the community with this D-Mod, however, is my plan, no matter how others feel about it.

Didn't do too much today. Added a few scripts and decorated two screens. But I think I am really beginning to get the hang of DinkC. It may sound weird, but all of my previous contributions have sort of been "field testing", if you will.

Really haven't done that much in the recent times. Made about twenty scripts, about a dozen screens and added some new graphics. Also made a spider boss which you have to fight with a bow from distance, while it walks around shooting poison at you. Hopefully more screenies coming soon.

Skull that's just not fair you want me to say nice stuff about a d-mod that isn't even out ok here it goes HH2 was better than earlier skull d-mods ) oh yeh and if I'm in it I will rate it a 9.9 just kidding but I look forward to reviewing this mod I bet *five dink brownie points* (registered trade mark of mrgantoe and jack Gerry) that HH2 will be better than HH1.

Edit: brownie points are us full at all participating dink websites you can use five to hire a noobie slave for an hour of development time or you can give them back to me and in 100 years time you will have six brownie points.

I had a D-Mod which never got finished. So in case anyone wants to know, I took this D-Mod's name, and placed it as HH2's secondary name. I'm going to keep the secondary name to myself for now. Mwhahaha!

And I also created a completely new house buying system today. Instead of actually finding all the houses, you need to buy one, and then you can buy houses from within that house.

The first one looks really weird and doesn't really fit well at all. Not really fond of the paper background at the statusbar either, when it makes the text blurry (I do like that it's renewed, however. Gj). Otherwise it looks good I guess.

The first one will probably fit in better once you're actually playing it. A screenshot really doesn't do that scene much justice, but I thought I should upload some storyline screenies too.

And I don't think the blurred text matters that much, most, if not all, people already know what it says, anyway.

Your console thread was an off-topic thread. Highjacking a development thread is considered somewhat of a punch below the belt here in The Dink Network.

I'm spending way too little time on this, from my own point of view. However, it is getting along pretty nicely. I just have this weird feeling in my gut that this is gonna be one for the ages.

Just to list a few things that are going to be there to entertain y'all. There are gonna be Goblin, human, fairy villages. Snow lands, Underworld, Hell, Twin Dimensions. Some memorable badass bad guys plus interesting new minigame -like puzzles and interesting boss fights just to name a few things.

You know, the standard stuff.

"I just have this weird feeling in my gut that this is gonna be one for the ages."

This is what drives an author to perform. If you don't have this feeling about your (epic) d-mod then you should ask yourself what you're doing wrong and what you could improve on

For the record, I think my d-mod will also be one for the ages!! There!

Sorry, just not looking forward to this.

I'm sensing a ton of empty promises here.

First off, he's acting like it's going to be the best DMOD ever made. Strike one.

Second off, he's estimating a release date two years from now. See what Sabretrout did with CC3? Strike two.

And finally, I didn't like Historical Hero I at all. There, I said it. I just thought it was an empty, and forgettable experience. Strike three.

dangit, dude, if you think it's going to be totally amazing and godly, go ask some imput from your neighbors or family and see if they think it's going to turn out well because from what I see, it's just the same as HH; It will have little to no plot, and lazy map job, and the same villains that have been done a million times. What you've provided us with here, is just this whole "This is awesome, look at my screenshots and read what I'm doing, it's going to be 'ONE FOR THE AGES'. Please, get over yourself dude. If this DMOD actually turns out to be, as you said, "One for the Ages" (I'm still laughing at that), I will take this back and give you another chance.

If you aren't critical of your work, and think it's the best D-Mod ever made when it's comparable to Defeat of the Terrorists, then you won't get anywhere with this.

Have had somewhat of a lazy period. Haven't really had the willpower to do anything and I have neither been in the best health lately. I also struggled long to fix one bug. However, I've done some scripting (for one, fixed that bug) and a little mapping in the last couple of days.

Here's a screenie of what the map looks like currently. And yes, all the difference between the last map screenie, and this one, have pretty much been done in the last four days or so.

Hopefully this will be out in the spring of 2012.

Well, I can't help it if you have a problem trusting people. But I'm not really gonna go through the trouble of making a video just cause there's one person who has a problem with me. I know it's not that you don't believe me, you're just desperately fooling yourself into believing that I can't create a great D-Mod, cause you couldn't stand it if I was praised for doing something, because you wanna keep your stupid rivalry, which I am sick and tired of, going on.

Sorry, but the best proof at the moment that you are going to get, is Robj's word. He has a demo version, and he actually helped me with this boss, by fixing a very small, but yet crucial mistake made by me.

Wait, you're bringing up a rivalry that never existed and you only bring up to make yourself sound righteous? Dude, that was 2-3 years ago. Get over it.

And besides, you shouldn't snap back like that when someone suggests you make a video. If you were mature enough, you would've said "I'd rather keep my game a secret until I have enough to show you, so for now, I will not make a video", or if you weren't going to make a video, just remove that part from what I said. I'm not trying to place words in your mouth, I'm just making a suggestion.

Don't come on here and act so high and mighty. And if you're sick of this "rivalry", don't bring it up. It's not helping your case. I'm not your rival, I'm just calling you out and giving suggestions.

It's pretty obvious you're the one bringing the rivalry up, when you criticize my talents whenever I post an update in this thread. For God's sake, you haven't even seen the boss yet, only heard a small description about it, and you're already saying I never created it. I wouldn't have a problem in you not believing me, but you are basically claiming that I am lying, which I am not.

I already know you think this D-Mod's not gonna be great nor ever be finished. You don't need to come back to this thread and keep repeating it over and over. It doesn't really matter what you think, I don't need to prove anything to you, but I'd appreciate if you either left this thread alone, or gave some positive feedback.

How can I be the one bringing up a "rivalry" if you're the only one ever talking about it excluding my questions about it?

It doesn't really matter what you think, I don't need to prove anything to you, but I'd appreciate if you either left this thread alone, or gave some positive feedback.

No, we wouldn't be arguing right now, if you didn't have to keep constantly picking on me, and certain other Dinkers. There are some people who once disagreed with you, and now you have started an eternal war with them.

The reason I am responding to you, is to kindly ask, please either leave this thread alone, or start giving positive feedback/constructive criticism. If you don't do either, I'll stop responding and ask the staff to remove your posts, which I am sure they are more than happy to do.

If it didn't matter what I said, you would have never even responded to me in the first place. Get some logic in your brain. I don't pick on Dinkers. If you're referring to Predator, I use him as a joke. I don't take him seriously. If I was picking on him, I would have done what Godley did - Make threads calling him out for no reason or shouting at him every time he spoke. I don't do that. I just make a joke out of him.

You're telling me to leave the thread or give you positive or constructive criticism? I believe I already have given you some constructive criticism, you just don't like it because I'm not praising you like everyone else is. If my opinion didn't matter, again, then don't respond to me anymore. Just say to yourself "oh, he has a different opinion, oh well, that's him", not "You have a different opinion and it's not good enough".

Don't take my word for it, as the amount of time I put into this D-Mod keeps changing, but the current date I plan to release this is December 2012. However, if I put a lot of work in it during the summer, I might get ahead of schedule. This probably won't happen though. It can always go overtime too and end up released in 2013. But I can promise that it will be released by summer of 2013. Let's say 21st of December 2012.

To give you a better idea, I'll try and give you some percents here, but they may be way off. I'm around 70% done with the main quest, and around 25% done with all the side stuff. There's still some mapping to do and some things to change.

I'm quite excited about this one.

In case somebody's interested, I currently have:

-524 scripts (around 15 unused)
-About 70% of the map used
-Some new graphics + lots of graphics from other files
-A few new weapons/spells
-Around 4 bosses which have quite neat/original ideas, if I do say so myself (+4 more typical bosses)
-Lots of side-quests, secrets and easter eggs
-Two Dinker cameo appearances
-60 MIDIs (as if anybody's interested in that).

Finally, a screenshot. Item box and magic box looks great (I don't know how you call it), but letters in status bar are looking weird in my opinion (I have an opinion!?). You could line them better and correct their size. 'magic' is way off from 'attack' and 'defense', and 'health' is a bit messy. Half letters are bolded and the other half not. Otherwise, I already want to slice somebody with that bat-winged sword. Just don't give it some silly, unaffordable price like 100,000 in pilgrim's quest.
