Dota 2: Heroes Clash


First of all, I'd like to say: Happy New Year 2015! *put a new year new me quote stuff here*
On this first month of the year, I'd like to introduce another of my fanmade total conversion project, Dota 2: Heroes Clash. It is a fast-paced, fanmade Battle Arena themed map featured with heroes from popular Dota 2 franchise.

Due to 8 MB multiplayer size limitation, I plan to create a separated version of this project in the future: Multiplayer Version and Full Version, Full Version will have more contents, heroes and especially alternate costume sets which player can choose. Having characters various alternate costume has been my personal excitement for developing this kind of moba adaptation project, therefore full version is created for non-multiplayer size purpose. Along with my League of Legends: Arena, I plan to develop both of these project until I could include at least around 30-40 available characters.

Sven available costume sets
With this Dota 2 conversion release, there is a chance that I plan to complete, the previously unfinished version from my Dota 2: Open Role Playing Game which abandoned since like around 2 years ago.

Features Preview
"There is already HQ Dota 2 conversion called war dota or something, what making this different?" This isn't a total .mpq project but a single, playable map for wc3. Therefore the size wouldn't be reach hundred MB or even GB and due to the genre is being a battle arena, all levelable passive abilities from the original Dota concept will be revised into active version, but that doesn't mean all heroes doen't have passive at all, each heroes have their own unlevelable passive.

Killing Spree, Dominating, Wicked Sick, and so on! One of the iconic feature from Dota is a kill chain notification, therefore I include this feature here as well along with it's own announcer voice clip. There is also more than 60 items with it's own icon from the original Dota 2 to costumize your hero and made them stronger along the way. The iconic creeps, Roshan the Immortal is also featured in the game as both the game powerful boss, as well as secret playable character you can unlock.

    1. Lol thanks, the difference from original DotA is because in here, attribute will also affect your damage as well. And sure, I plan to share those stuff eventually.

      Note: For anyone who get and play as secret character Roshan, his abilities and sfx effect isn't final.

  5. Ohhh! I see. Then I Guess Spectre will be nice too. LOL Actually I played it earlier with a couple of friends.. 5 on 5 against Insanes LOL... We had fun but there were some errors I noticed without them telling. Like for example Butterfly and Oblivion Staff get wrong items. When merged and Sven's Warcry. LOL.. Overall we can't win one on one with the AI since they're oo strong we were playing teamplay aainst them. LOL.. Thats it I gues.. Hope you can add in Axe as well. Or maybe Invoker.

    1. Hahaha yeah I've recheck and fixed them, sven warcry description doesn't appear on level 5 above was because back then I only plan to made all abilities only up to level 5. I plan to iclude Axe as well, since multiplayer version still can be up around 20-25 heroes with this current size due to 8mb limitation (plus my reduction method).

      Delete
    2. Yep yOUR! Reduction Method.. LOL.. Don't go exceeding the map just finish the last 2 more slots.. I will be nice if you can put in Agility heroes and Strength But you decide though.. Anyways. I dont think you should optimize the map. It will be ugly as hell and bugs will increase alot. LOL..

      Delete
    3. Well, I could just add another space once this current last 2 slots fullfiled. And worry not, I wouldn't reduce a quality that badly, that's why I'd have Full Version planned. Hahaha

    5. Hello, thanks for the compliments. Well, couldn't tell the exact code but you need to farm creeps based off it's respective digivolve, they has certain chance to dropping a code.

  8. Hey! A really fun map to play :D However I wonder, when me and my friends start the game we only get 2 modes to choose from, and we read in the infos that there should be a Roshan boss mode aswell as a tower mode.

    Are these avaible yet and how to activate? :)

    Love your map! /G
