Greetings. This was my entry for the short story contest. Here is a brief overview of the features...
  • Use hallucinations to attack. Damage is dealt with scarabs.
  • Four different relics and consume provide 5 different ways of attacking and devising strategies.
  • Each area contains at least one hidden item, some of which are obtainable only after completing some sort of puzzle. There are 6 gems and 4 relics to collect. Collecting them all offers an alternate ending.
  • Boss battles with randomized attack patterns.
  • A wide array of music to provide ambience.
  • An omnipresent storyline.

Storyline
The primeval gods, exasperated by the incessant turmoil on earth, have come to the conclusion that it would be best to eradicate mankind. One god, however, still thinks there is hope for them and ventures into their realm as a mortal to prove his brethren wrong.

Abilities, relics and gems
  • Focus: Used in menu. Recharges energy.
  • Consume: Used in menu. Deals half of base damage. Recharges your health after 8 hits (indicated by gas) and cancels the effects of explosions.
  • Scepter of Balthazar: Used in menu. Deals three times base damage.
  • Icon of Lumina: Used in menu. Freezes enemy in place temporarily. Deals twice base damage.
  • Crown of Altheus: Used in menu. Requires no energy to attack. Deals base damage.
  • Shield of Korozan: Used in menu. Increases shields permanently. Deals twice base damage.
  • Red Gem: Passive. Increases health by 5%.
  • Blue Gem: Passive. Increases energy by 2.

Symmetry -- I dreamed about that as a kid. The idea of a computer capable of analyzing a starcraft map and calculating the fastest possible way to hit the victory condition
[02:29 am]
Symmetry -- But can AI beat my custom maps?
[12:32 pm]
Oh_Man -- yea APM vs eAPM
[08:48 am]
NimoStar -- plus most of the human APM is just spam clicking APM inflation
[08:47 am]
NimoStar -- the thing with the "*12" thing is completely misleading. The AI isn't using two control groups, it can use each of those actions to command a single unit individually and issue different commands to each single unit.

NudeRaider -- NudeRaider
NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
*Pluto's wraiths

Vrael -- perhaps there is a small professional player trapped in a box in the server rack where pluto is running? hmm?

Vrael -- 240*12*2 is 5760, where is the other 240 APM?
