Dungeoncraft

[Heartview]

So I think it was jack838 or something (pretty sure it is -Genesis now) had an idea a little while back that was actually really interesting. I am waiting on him to finish it or release it so I can see the final product, so in the mean time, I had an idea of my own.

So I had my little trap world (working with a backup world now, I lost my full one for some reason) and I was working on building a shrine of some kind deep underground. I dug it out, and had a neat little entrance, but then as I was blasting out tunnels, I had the idea.

The idea is, to create some kind of world made like a dungeon. Like the old school games like Shadowgate 64, or Shadow caster. If you are too young to have played these games, then think of pretty much a dungeon filled with traps and such, where you have to find your way through it. The idea would be, that you have no items, no armor, and no torches, and you have to get from the beginning to the end with just problem solving and dexterity. There would need to be a sort of trust system to prevent people from just punching their way through certain parts, but I am using a lot of obsidian to help prevent that.

I already have a couple of puzzles set up, but I do believe I am going to need some help to get this something beyond a quick 5 minute thing. So I am wondering if any of the more skilled minecrafters out there want to help. I have no real requirements for helping, but I would ask that you be very good at making traps, and have a good bit of creativity in building new ones. Redstone skills will help too. I also would not mind some builders to help build me a castle, which is what I plan on having the game start with. Not just a big hollow square, a full on castle, with halls, rooms, floors, etc.

So if you want to help let me know, and we can see if I can work trillian into letting me add people on MSN, (or AIM) and we can work from there.

so its like escapecraft??

sounds interesting and more dangerous.

Ive never heard of excapecraft or anything else for that matter. This may have already been done. But I dont really care seeing as how this one would be done from my inspirations. Mainly dungeon runners from back in the day.

So you want Amnesia: The Dark Descent, but in Minecraft?

[deadskulz]

Kind of, but with a less creepy feel to it. I am getting a lot of inspiration from Shadowgate 64 atm, and I think thats going to be my main inspiration. And I am sure that it has been done before, but the scale of which I have in mind would rival a full game. Unfortunately, I am probably too lazy to do that, which is why I was looking for other people to work on it while im building other things/not playing.

Still no takers?

[Margherita]

This is interesting, good luck though.
I might want to join, but I don't know

How do we help you? are you hosting a server or do we just build some rooms and let you use a map editor to copy and paste them??? If its on a server i might be able to help but heavily depends on your connection and how far away we are, i am from Australia.

[Heartview]

I might be able to run a server, as my connection is more stable than it used to be, but I would still rather not.

Pretty much, if you agree to help, I will send you my world, and let you poke around what I have so far to see how its kind of going to be done, and then you can either add on right in the world, or make a new world to make traps/puzzles and either show me, or send them to me. I have some world editors, so I can just C+P them directly, or recreate them with any modifications I see fit. PM/VM me if anyone really want to help.

For the castle, if anyone wants to recruit their server for it, that would be great. Just start building and let people that join build it too. It would be kind of interesting to see the collaboration of a lot of people on one building, and I am sure I could work a game around it.
