Boy you the one needta get on.



Now that I posted that, three of us are online. :)

Yeah, I know I need to get back online. I've been pretty swamped with trying to land a job that that has basically taken up my life at the moment #itsahardknocklife

I hurr ya. I've been too unmotivated to really do much; it's the only reason I'm on more than usual. :( Gotta get something going, haha.

Okay...

So after about a week (or two?) of work, the anthology adventure map I created is open for exploring! Here's a brief synopsis and some guidelines:

The Moon

PART ONE

The year is 2063 AE. You are a citizen of the United Earth and have enlisted to be on the Antilles, a colonizing space station located near Earth's moon. In the first part of the anthology, you are assigned to work in Sciences and Technology where your colleagues have been experimenting with opening dimensional shifts that lead to new galaxies and planets outside the Milky Way. Something unexpected occurs and the entire space station is thrown into turmoil. You must escape with your life and discover what has gone into the dimensional shift...and what has come out of it.

Guidelines

The one thing I ask is that you EXPLORE! Every single button (stone button) is an interactive storytelling element. If you ignore even a single button or skip entering a single room, you are wasting your time and you will miss the plot! This is not a challenge or battling map, but designed for immersion and plot.

The only time you should avoid pressing a button is if it is marked with an End Stone block (see below). There is only one and you should seek out the other buttons BEFORE pressing this button.

A good rule-of-thumb is to always press buttons closest to you first before pushing any further down. There are several hard-to-locate buttons, but seek these out for smaller, interesting details to further immerse yourself in the story.​

RULES

1. Only ONE person can be playing the map at a time. Any more and the "movie magic" will not work properly.
2. Please do not exploit any elements of the map to gain extra items. If you are caught, you will be banned.
   
   Pay attention to rule two because I can actually check who has been pressing buttons inside the map. ​
3. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! Leave feedback! I deserpately want to know what you think of the map and I encourage everyone to give it a try!

Location

Access to the Moon map can be found in the Transport Hub to the left. It is an End Stone portal with a moon skull. Once that is pressed, you will be taken to the map hub. Simply enter the portal and your story will begin!

My internet is out (posting from my parents' house), so that's why I haven't been on lately. I'm still in need of sand (and a lot of it), so if anyone still has some extra and doesn't know what to do with it.

Also, thank you for the people who have given me sand so far! It's greatly appreciated, and I wish I knew who left me some so I could thank them.

Another new episode featuring the Gauntlet 2.0!

Another new episode featuring the Gauntlet 2.0!

As per usual, I always have something to say about your episodes. :P

1) I feel terrible every time someone loses at the final battle. I feel bad, generally, when someone loses at any level past the fifth. So the final battle is ONLY for the prize, but you still beat Tier I. I think I said that on the vid, but you didn't see it.

2) I'm glad you're back! I enjoy your videos a lot and especially getting to see my work from a new perspective. :)

Glad to be back! It was a long weekend. First half of this week is gonna be crazy busy too, but after that, I should be back to putting up a couple videos every day. =)

Just wanted to give a few updates on some OP matters:

• A new section entitled the "Detroit Chronicle Footage" has been added to the OP of the Minecraft page, giving users quick and easy access to all of welknight's videos. A link is also provided to welsknight's YouTube channel in case people would like to see more videos from him.
• A new section entitle "Detroit's Current Activities" has been added to the OP of the Minecraft page, highlighting whatever event is currently going on in the Minecraft Server. A link will also be provided to the current activitie's OP so people can get a better understanding of what is going on.

Things currently in the works:

• "Verdanturf Resident" emblem is currently in the work of being reshaped into the "Detroit Resident" emblem; more info about this will be released at a future point.
• More obtainable emblems are in the works.
• A "Meet the Moderator's & Advisors" portion is in the works, giving new users a brief summary as to who runs the server as well as who they may turn to if they have questions.
• Past festivities will be updated at a future point.
• I am in demand of screenshots of our beautiful city. If you have any screenshots that you have deemed worthy of fitting on the main page, PM them to me so I can add them to it.
• With some things goings missing lately, the idea of giving everyone an Ender Chest is being thrown on the table in order to protect items. Let me know what y'all think about this if you want this done.

That's it for now, more will be updated in a bit.

 

[Necrum]

There's also a Hedge maze in the works if I ever get around to it, lol! November seems like a good month for it though. I'll try to actually do it some time this month.

So I guess this is my new home for now?

  This is awesome. Thank you so much for this honor!
  
  With that said, you might want to update the episode numbers to reflect the numbers in the actual Youtube videos and the order of release. This will help people from getting confused, especially since I refer to previous videos in some of them, so messing around with the order might not be a great idea. =P
  
  I'd recommend the following:
  Episode 0.1: PokeCommunity Server Part 1
  Episode 0.2: PokeCommunity Server Part 2
  Episode 0.3: PokeCommunity Server Part 3
  Episode 0.4: The Gauntlet!
  Episode 1: Night of the Gauntlet
  Episode 2: Community Builds & Shenanigans
  Episode 3: Tomb of Heka
  Episode 4: Abandoned Mine
  Episode 5: First Gauntlet 2.0 Run!
  Episode 6: Wobbu's Revenge!

Yeah, I didn't exactly know how to properly order it considering how you basically had a series before a series, but this makes more sense. I'll update the OP tomorrow when I first get a chance to reflect these changes.

 

[Wobbu]

Everybody congratulate eternallyanna for becoming the newest advisor!
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

If anyone was wondering why I'm not on the server, well let's just say I temporarily left the server. I know it sucks but family issues :/ I might come back at the end of November but still not sure yet. I'm gonna keep on tabs by wels' videos, and this thread too. Hoping by the end of the month, the lag thing is fixed. Btw Matt, I have some shots of Spruce Heights but they might be outdated.

 

[welsknight]

Here's another new episode! I know, this is Episode 8 and I skipped Episode 7. There were some technical difficulties with the upload for Episode 7. I'm going to have to re-render it and upload load it tomorrow, so look for Episode 7 then!

I'm only a bit into the episode, but you completely rushed through TWO plot buttons. :( The entire story hinges on one button that you missed so I'm kind of disappointed you rushed past it! I'll watch the rest in a bit. :)

Oops. I plan to go back and give it another go tonight.

 

[welsknight]

I was able to get to campus again tonight to re-upload episode 7! This time, it worked. Here you go!

ugh. i feel selfish asking this, but is it possible that the thunderdome be moved? i was going to add the main keep of the castle behind the one that's already built, and it would end up overlapping with where the thunderdome is at the moment. is there some kind of server sorcery that can be used to copy and paste the thunderdome blocks a bit further back?

i understand if it's too much of a hassle, but i still want to keep my fingers crossed if there's a reasonable compromise for this.

As far as server technology goes, I can't move it. I don't want to implement any plugins because we run straight vanilla right now, so moving it would be up to its creator, El Heroe. He will have to answer that part of your question though, so I'm sorry. :(
