Pacific: The Brink

[Gen. Hothauser]

The server is

-Information: Pacific: A WWIII TDM is the first installment of a series of WWIII TDMs, which will be based on my vision of WWIII, and I see it happening in the near future, so no laser guns.  Pacific focuses on island hopping, and the teams have to capture each island.  On every island, there are three to four outposts with a capture point at each.  Once the players cap all outposts on an island, they get that island.  If one team caps all islands, it is then possible to cap the opponent's base island.  Doing so wins the game.  There is a 60 minute timer on the game aswell, but from testing, I find that 120 minutes might be better.  The teams are the JCDN (Joint Collaboration of Democratic Nations) and the EUF (Economic Universality Federation).  

-Storyline This may be the first TDM I make for the series, but I intend to make another game that explains the beginnings of the war.  What I plan on doing is polling to see what battle should happen next, then I'd make that battle, then I'll host a tournament to see the outcome of battle.  From here, you guys can develop the story by playing in the server.

The year is 2064, there has been a major economic crCIA throughout second- and third-world countries due to a major radioactive pollutant introduced by the Russians. It has been 119 years since the end of the last World War, and tensions are rising.  All around the world, countries are banding together under similar political ideals.  The three leading organizations are the JCDN (Joint Collaboration of Democratic Nations), the EUF (Economic Universality Federation), and the CMEC (Consolidation of Middle Eastern Countries).  The entire conflict erupted at a UN conference in 2062, when America, the countries of the EF (European Forces), Israel, China, and Antarctica all laid claim to a democracy to be established on the newly formed moon colony (which America, Russia, and Syria all put effort towards creating back in '57).  The conference separated and left for the night to go think over the proposition.  The next day, all other countries present, besides Canada and Australia, countered the idea.  At this time, the separated UN disbanded and returned to their countries.

Three weeks later, a news alert struck America.  Russia, Syria, Irais (The Arabian Peninsula countries joined together in '32 to counter the coming economic trouble), Czechoslovakia (which conquered Austria and Yugoslavia all the way over to and including Ukraine), and India all signed a political coalition treaty to politically combat the Democratic idea on the moon colony.  This organization became the NADI (Nations Against Democratic Insurgence).

The following two years were shaky for the NADI, and it split under dissimilar ideas of economic states in the colony.  A large scale nuclear military buildup has begun, and everyone is trying to befriend the countries with the most warheads.  This is when Pacific: The Brink comes in.  The JCDN and EUF both go after Korea, and end up fighting each other in the first conflict of the war.  

A few days after (INSERT FUTURE TOURNAMENT VICTOR)'s victory in the Korean battle, the UN calls another meeting.  This time, it is to decide whether this impending war is worth the blood, sweat, and tears.  This assembly did not end well, and the special forces for all of the groups were brought in.  This is when UN: The Mistake comes in.  The teams will be the special forces of the JCDN, the EUF, the CMEC, the LAWCA (Latin American World CrCIA Association), the Japanese, and the South African Government.  The purpose of this skirmish is to kill all enemies.

The following day, the JCDN, EUF, and CMEC all declare themselves in a state of war with the others; WW3 has begun.


Pictures: Alright, the long awaited pictures.  Lets start with some basic island photos.


Here we have a large island.  It is called "North Island"


Here we have a medium sized island called "East Island"


Here we have the "sandbar island".  It doesn't look like much, but it is one of the best islands to capture.


Here we have "West Island"


Here we have "Volcano Island"


Here we have the Japanese Base island


Here we have the Ally Base island


Here we have a basic beach Outpost


Here is an outpost with a tank.


Here is an outpost with a plane.


This is a main island flag that changes color when a team captures all of the outposts on an island group.


Here is an AA turret that a team gains access to when they capture the island group it is on.


This is an outpost on the Volcano Island on the edge of the volcano.


Ammo Crate


Shell Case for the Howitzers


The capture point on the Japanese Base Island.  The Ally Base Island cap has a similar format.


This is the format for changing classes.  I forgot to put a frame around the door, so that'll be different.


The not-so-minimap in the spawn room.  The small cylinder bricks on there are the different caps.  They show who has capped them and allow players to teleport to the outpost, if they capped it.


This is the Minimap chousing area.  Not sure why I took a picture though.

More info for this when I get home from school.

For things like apps and stuff.

Looks great.

[Gen. Hothauser]

Looks great.

Thanks

[Conan]

So uh have you thought about the gameplay at such a large scale

[viper30000]

Looks fantastic but if you really wanted it to feel more like battling in the jungles of these islands you should add much more vegetation. Also make it much larger.

[Mr. Hurricane]

Where's Betio?

[Nurgle]

Those bunkers are totally not obvious. /sarcasm

[Gen. Hothauser]

Lol, ya.

The largest island I have now is the smaller Medium size.

I will have a spawnroom with multiple spawn locations throughout the map for each team to spawn at.  Other than that, it'll typically be localized warfare among nearby islands.


The vote was clear, I will do widespread vegitation.

[Gen. Hothauser]

How's this for vegitation cover?



JK, not that much, but does that bamboo style look good?  I just made it off the fly.  There will be other types of vegitation, mind you.

EDIT:  Here's a close up of a single bamboo shoot.

[Planr]

It looks less like i'm seeing vegatation when its done like that and more like i'm looking at serious graphic glitches in the game, if you get what I mean.

[Conan]

Use legit trees, brickscape style so it doesn't get too op in terms of brickcount.

Also, if you go that path, make 5-6 types or variations because one tree duped all over the map will look stuffty. And you should add low-brickcount bushes and saplings (with variations) as well, so you don't have to spam trees to get the foliage look you want.

[Mr.X98]

Looks great as heck

[Dimitry]

Cute little islands! :D They seriously look nice, good job.

Ya, that was just a joke, lol.

Will do.

And I finished the larger island, added palmtrees.  Now I'll start working on vegitation types.






I got rid of the water, skybox, and ground texture so it is easier to see all that I built so far.  I think, last time I checked, the brick count was around 3000.  After vegitation, I'll make a large island with a volcano.
