C3G SuperHeroScape Online

[Smithy Winfred]

Sounds super cool, I've never used HeroSkype before, but I have always been interested in online 'scape.

Way to go Snappleman!

This looks great!

The online Scape app that Megasilver mentioned is powered by Google Docs; the actual dice rolling and OM placement are custom built into the app, but the map and figures are all rolled into Google Docs; as such, each map image has to be painstakingly created, which is a cumbersome process. We are also working on actual photos for all of the classis/C3V/SoV figures, along with some super heroes: there is really no way around this part, but luckily the figure images only have to be created once.

That being said, I really like the looks of your map and figure rendering, and I also like the card display and sizing options. If you are able to automate the map creation process (tying it in with VirtualScape, I presume?), then this system will be a definite improvement over the Google Doc-based version, IMHO.

Please just let me know if I can help you out with anything.

I'm pretty sure what Snappleman can use most right now, if you want to help this program move forward, is beta testing aplenty. Try it out, and let him know what needs to be worked on or improved or changes you'd like to see!

I'm not sure if there's any way for folks to help him gather data for inputting at all? If there is, Snappleman, let us know! And keep up the good work! You've definitely whetted some appetites here.

I love what you guys have done with the google docs and the customizations. Awesome work!

I'm definitely hoping that this works eventually with the virtualscape maps, that would be a huge win. Once all the units and terrain is in the game, it should be a pretty enjoyable experience.

If anyone wants to help, there's unit images that need uploading, playtesting (finding bugs or coming up with enhancement ideas) and also any maps that aren't virtualscape'd could be created for the game now.

All the data for the units was uploaded via a master C3G spreadsheet that Sir G keeps track of, so the hardest part was already taken care of. Thanks Sir G!

Send me an e-mail or a PM with your preferred username and password and I'll get you in the system. Thanks for checking it out and don't forget to tell me what you like and what you don't like!

[Snappleman]

I just got done adding in a bunch more units. All the Superman units are in and a little more than half of the last Batman wave. I thought it was time for a group photo. Oh, and thanks again A3n for supplying a bunch of mini images!



I'm getting the strong urge to go clean these guys up and put my toys away. That's the nice part of having them on my computer right?

[IAmBatman]

Very cool! Have you gotten any beta testers yet?

[Snappleman]

I've got a bunch of people in the system already which is very cool. Haven't heard of anyone actually playing a game, but it's not like we don't have ... all the time in the world to work on this. I love not having deadlines.

[IAmBatman]

Cool! I'm glad you're getting people in place to help out with this.

I noticed you're missing Blade, and several others on your list of online figures, and I'm about to play one.
