Description
I have published Power Level Overwhelming to Battle net in US.
The map is inspired by the famous "OVER 9000" Internet meme. Some of the PvP combat resembles DBZ combat.
Power Level Overwhelming (PLO) is a 6 (minimum of 1) player FFA where you race to reach 9000 power. It contains elements of PvP and PvE: players can fight each other or roaming hostile squads. Squads become more dangerous as the player-controlled heroes' perceived threat increases. Players select 10 upgrades as they become more powerful using a skill tree. Each upgrade they select changes how the hero plays.
There is also a brief in-game tutorial system that provides a few intelligent hints for first-time players. Random hints are displayed when a hero dies.
PLO uses custom UI along-side of the built-in SC2 UI. There is a status bar in the top left corner with buttons for expanding a custom scoreboard and a lock camera button for lazy Diablo-style camera controls.
I plan to add many more abilities and improve the hostile NPC behaviors in the future. In addition, there will be new variations for the dangers players encounter (like the bombers).
The video above shows a demonstration of gameplay features. Thanks for watching!
