The Reward is Cheese


Objectives:
  • Gather cheese from mazes filled with obstacles faster than the rest of the mice.
  • Destroy the enemies with an army fueled with the collected cheese.

Progress:
  • Combat area is basically complete, room for additions
  • 15 levels complete, 180 available level slots
  • 4 game modes will be included, 2 are available atm
  • 5 upgrades are available


Game Modes:
  • Classic - Levels are played in chronological order
  • Classic Elimination - Classic without reviving per level
  • Random - Levels are played in a random order
  • Random Elimination - Random without reviving per level

I have a tutorial up that I'll be linking with a way to create and send me new levels, to help progress. I'll release it when I feel ready.

The first 15 levels are based on the 15 levels from the original The Reward is Cheese.

Upgrades:
  • Speed [3|4|5|6|7] - Increases the speed of the mouse by 0.2 each level
    Level 1: 3.2 speed
    Level 2: 3.4 speed
    Level 3: 3.6 speed
    Level 4: 3.8 speed
    Level 5: 4.0 speed
  • Blink [10|6|8] - Gives the mouse a blink ability to jump a short distance
    Level 1: 15 second cooldown
    Level 2: 12.5 second cooldown
    Level 3: 10 second cooldown
  • Create Wall [8|10] - Creates a wall block at the target location
    Level 1: 1 charge
    Level 2: 2 charges
  • Destroy Wall [8|10] - Destroys a targeted wall
    Level 1: 1 charge
    Level 2: 2 charges
  • Phase Shift [4|6|8] - Makes the mouse invulnerable, yet unable to collect cheese or use abilities for 3 seconds.
    Level 1: 1 charge
    Level 2: 2 charges
    Level 3: 3 charges

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[04:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
[06:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
