DOTA Lite, well as it sounds is a lighter version of Dota 2 in development for PTC. Dota 2 is a competitive online game by Valve where you select from a pool of heroes and fight to destroy the other teams life force. Dota Lite will have the same objective as Dota 2 and play as a MOBA just like Dota 2 does. Note there will be no multiplayer online...

Twelve heroes are planned to choose from and battle with, 3v3 battles will take place, four abilities for each hero. Just like Dota 2, there will only be one map.

What is a MOBA?

MOBA stands for Multiplayer Online Battle Arena. Dota relies on team cooperation and strategy. Whatever hero you select can be the difference between life or death. At the beginning of a match, the player selects a hero to battle with. Then, when you spawn at the map you are given about a minute and a half to discuss strategy with teammates and buy items and things from the shop. (Boots, potions, weapons, etc.) You start out at level 1 in the beginning of each map and are able to activate one ability of your choice. Abilities may be leveled up to level four and levelling your hero gives you more points to upgrade abilities with. You may want to start out killing "creeps" or NPC troops that fight for your team to help you in battle.After you level enough, you may want to start off killing the other teams heroes. Each time you are killed, it takes longer to respawn. The map is seperated into three main routes and this is where battles generally take place. You must push your team to the other teams base and destroy their life force to win.

What is already done in DOTA Lite?

Thanks to a handy program called Large Map Editor The map is completed and contains three main routes to battle on. Map is still sorta in development... Needs trees (I need to create tiles for trees) The map is quite large (100x100)

That is all that is complete right now. Dota Lite will be a side project and be on haitus when I start real development on The Forest.
