Blank 3 - Fallowed Fields



What is Blank?


Blank is an ongoing project within Blockland. It is a multiplayer first-person-forced horror puzzle game. In Blank 3 - Fallowed Fields,
 players must explore a dark and open plot of farmland, collecting notes, all while being stalked by the mysterious Blankhead. As described by
 one player during gameplay, "It's like Slender mixed with gameplay aspects of Amnesia: The Dark Descent." Bring your friends, or try to
 play the game alone. Try to survive long enough to see all the endings!


The project started in late July 2012 as an attempt to recreate Slender: The Eight Pages in Blockland. Due to the limitations at the time
we used the old bot events and adjustable plate. Our first "Blank" game was released for public download on October 26th 2012. A second game
was created and released on March 11th 2013, and was a host to many new ideas, such as multiple gamemodes, a new Blankhead AI, and a
living and breathing mansion that was much more advanced than our first game.


Now, today on June 23rd 2015, after a whole lot of procrastinating, Blank 3 - Fallowed Fields is now available to the public.

If you want to download the game and try it for yourself, you can download it here.

Additional resources and links are available in the description of the release video, which can be found here.





Why should I try Blank?

We're not forcing you to play it, however if you've ever wondered how a horror game could make itself into Blockland while still remaining
Blocky, then we strongly urge you to try Blank. The game doesn't use cheap jumpscares or gruesome imagery, instead you will feel true paranoia.

If you don't believe us, give the game a try! We recommend to bring a few friends along, however the game is completely doable alone.


Is the game buggy?

The game itself is only as buggy as Blockland itself is. However, should you run into a bug, messaging us on YouTube, Twitter, or leaving a comment here would be
of great help! You can read about the known bugs in the "changelog.txt" included in the download.


Can I join a server and get the full experience?

Due to the nature of releasing our minigame, we can't enforce that you will. This game is not packaged as a gamemode, so different server admins
 can make the experience different. If you want to play it with 100% certainty, host the game yourself or be on the lookout for servers hosted by
either "Fangel96" or "LMG".

In order to get the full experience, you will also need several add-ons. Most are sound related so you can download them from the server, however
you will also need a specific blank face decal or else the Blankheads will become Smiles McGee. This decal was hosted on RTB before it was shut down,
so you may have it already. However, if you don't, and you are skeptical about downloading the full Blank 3 package, you can download the blank
face decal separately here.





The game itself has been in development for some time. Because this post is lacking on the picture quota, here are a few pictures from the build
two years ago. The build has been largely unchanged, and screenshots can't always give a minigame the justice it deserves.


   

   



Now tread carefully, Blockhead. The Frozen One's influence has grown.
If you do not go now, you will forever be a prisoner of his icy tomb.
Fear the Indoors. Fear the Fields.
Fear the Forest. Fear the Seas.
Flee from the Blankhead.

...


And never look back.

He sounds like a real blankethead.

But I liked the gameplay video, very nice.


It's been brought to our attention that we missed an add-on in the pack. We'll be adding it in later in the day and updating the downloads.

EDIT: A few other issues popped up, and we were able to squash them! All changes to this version are logged inside the changelog within the download.
