Lately I have been working on working on making Heroes playable. I have been adding ideas that people have given me in Chatters, old posts from the forum that Tiko and I made, and some from inside the game. I have been doing BYOND Member tests for the past few weeks and have had a high success. Heroes at the moment is ranked 30, which is very good for an unpublished game which hasn't been released yet for open beta.

I have been working along side Tiko and Cavern to complete the story archs and missions. So far, Cavern, who is the newest addition to the Heroes Staff as the writer/idea guy, has completed a few new groups and they are as followed:

Hawks:

The Hawks are a ruthless gang that hang out around bars in Lauren City. When in a fight, they show no mercy. They go straight for the kill. They usually come out around night time when most are asleep. They have incredible strength and their special powers are that of flying, hence the name Hawks. They like to travel in large groups and pick on anyone that happens to cross their path.


Shockers:

The Shockers like to hangout in all parts of Terbulin City where the technology is more advanced and where lots of electricity flows through. Their speciality consists of electricity. They can fire bolts of lightning through the edge of their finger tips which causes massive damage. They do not like to travel in big groups unless needed and hate being near water.


Below Zero:

Below Zero is a gang that specializes in ice. They are pretty intelligent and tend to travel in packs. They like to hang out in a city called Huktin which is an ancient word for "The Floating Beauty". Huktin is a city surrounded by water. The land is so thin that it practicaly floats on it.


Untouchables:

The Untouchables are an extremely intelligent gang but hate to travel in groups. They are known as outlaws and loners. Their speed is miraculous and they can become invisible at will. They can be found in a city called Caflin. You rarely ever see them, but when you do, they are always up to no good. They like to hide in the shadows and you can mostly find them in dark alleys.


Also, I have been working on a civilian spawner. Basically it will create civilians within orange(20) but more than 10 tiles away from you. After the civilians are created, they then get a random name, from Abyssdragon's Name Generator.

I have been trying to figure out how to set up the macros. Right now I have it that the player can decide which power goes to which key when they aquire a new power. But I haven't decided how to group the keys. Ex: Q,W,E,A,S,D are reserved for power buffs, while U,I,O,P,J,K,L are reserved for offensive attacks. Or that you can pick any key from the 26 letters on the key board.

Well, stay tuned for the next update/post. Don't forget to comment (Non-members can post)!
