I started a steam group with the intention to make a Dota 2 Workshop community. Since I wanted to be able to get help from others as well as helping people in a broader way, I made this group. Now it has turned to a real success since about 1 guy joins the group every day. Right now we have grown up to an amount of 47 people. And most of them participate in what the group is all about; to make guides, help newcomers as well as getting feedback from other modifiers and modelers.
I've improved a lot in the art of modifications. And I've helped more people than I'd ever be able to handle alone. :)
I also made a YouTube channel to make clips and tutorials on how to mod Dota2. The channel is expansive since I got 18 subscribers in 4 days! :D
The YouTube channel can be found here: www.YouTube.com/users/Dota2workshop/
The steam group can be found here: www.steamcommunity.com/groups/d2wt/
If you are interested in participating, feel free to look around in the group as well as joining the groupchatt or making a discussion thread. :)
I have tons of interests that i will be showing here but let's begin with one of my favorite ones...
Defense Of The Ancients 2
This is a MOBA styled RTS (Real Time Strattegy) Game for PC.
It is developed by VALVE software, the leading game developing company today, and the owners of Steam (a service for games and gamers to unite)
DOTA2 is as well as League of Legends(LoL) and Heroes of Newearth(HoN) a game based of the old Wc3 (Warcraft III) modification called DotA (Defence of the Ancients) and developed by IceFrog.
Since IceFrog was the real creators didn't DOTA2 (as well as LoL and HoN) ripoff the mod and make their own game out of it?
Well...the answer is no because employees from IceFrog was hired in by the other games' companies (VALVE software, Riot Games and S2 Games) to help them out making their own versions of the Classic DotA mod.
The reason i like DOTA2 more is that since VALVE is the leading game development company, their game must have an amazing quality. And it has! All these MOBA games are Free to play but valve is the only one not limiting players without money or time to get all the available content. VALVE have also the most detailed graphics of all these games, and with that i mean that they have putted down tons of more time on multiple animations, polygon amounts, texture art/details, sounds and voice acting.
And the gameplay system is a lot harder than LoL, and more similar to the HoN gameplay.
But maybe my favorite part is that the Main Menu is super dynamic! You can choose to spectate a game, while spectating you can open the Main Menu overlay and search matches, read news, chatt with friends e.t.c. + DOTA2 is a Steam game!
A steam game uses your steam account as game account, steam also grants you access to the steam overlay! This overlay can be used to do really anything, from searching the web, to changing your displayed name, to take screenshots, to chat with friends that are playing other games. And all these features are just a button press away.
