[WIP] Varden (v83)

[Masaaku]

* More maps have been needed and planned out. Stay tuned.
Description/Summary

A mysterious energy has appeared from within the core of Maple World to combat the Black Mage, but is this mysterious energy fighting for good...? Or for evil?!

Explore the depths of Maple World (and beyond!) as you try to uncover where this mysterious energy is coming from. Reports from all over the world are coming in and it appears major towns have gone through drastic changes, check out these towns to see what changed! ... And... why do your parents have new vacation cottages all over?!

Varden will be released over three segments, over three months.

• PHASE ONE: Beginning October 23rd, you can explore the revamped towns of Henesys, Orbis, Ludibrium, Leafre, Ariant, Mu Lung, CBD, Mushroom Shrine, Amoria, and New Leaf City! Under Maple World and The Nine Paths are now open for exploration!
• PHASE TWO: On November 20th, you can explore Varden City, Twin Village, and Frigid Caves. Twin Village and Frigid Caves feature two "new" boss mobs; Army of the Undead and Frigid Zakum, respectively.
• PHASE THREE: Finally, on December 25th, the final pieces of Varden are open for exploration: Mt. Sinclair, which features the new boss mob, Molten Horntail, and Area 505, which features the new boss mob, Cosmic Bean! When you return to Varden City, you will notice the gate to Varden Palace is now open. Explore the grand palace and uncover even more new boss mobs including Guard Captain, The Commanders, and Shadow Masaaku. All boss mobs debuting with Varden must be defeated to discover the source of this mysterious power! (P.S. It also wouldn't hurt to check out the rest of the major towns after this date!)

(Varden will be considered end-game content, featuring mobs between level 165-200.)

Beta Tests

Beta testing will be held on the following dates:

• October 19th, 20th, 21st for PHASE ONE.
• November 15th, 16th, 17th for PHASE TWO.
• December 17th, 18th, 19th for PHASE THREE.
• January 14th for PHASE FINALE.

This is an open beta test, no special selection or requirements needed. All you need to do is report ANY AND ALL map errors.

Notes

• No custom tiles or objects will be used for now. The only custom things will be the boss mobs, and even so, they will only be recolored and buffed up. And yes, the reason for not having custom tiles or objects is explained in Varden's story.
• MOST mobs will be recycled and buffed, some recoloring may be done.
• There will be no quests at the end of the rollout of Varden. A story line for Varden is being developed and maps, NPCs, mobs, etc. (including names) are subject to change before the final release of each phase. January 1st, 2019 will bring the FULL and COMPLETE story of Varden so you can script and code quests based upon that.

  Both of these maps are the first to contain animated / moving backgrounds. Now that I have a general idea on how the settings work, I will be going through each map completed before this point and redoing backgrounds as they've been static. The background changes for those maps will come with Phase Three.

what is this?

[ByCreator]

what program are you used?

[Masaaku]

what program are you used?

LOL. I completely forgot about this thread. I stopped updating it when I decided to make a server revolving around concept (my bad), which has turned out far better than what is displayed here.

I just used HaCreator/HaRepacker (HaSuite) to create this, though, now I used my own versions of both.

[ByCreator]

can you share?
