The HellMOO Project
A community build
SOME BACKGROUND
"HellMOO is a post-apocalyptic role-playing moo. It is set at an unknown time after an atomic conflict brought down the great civilizations of the 21st century. Enough time has passed that some towns and vestiges of society have returned... but not nearly enough to curb the inherent violence and conflict of a life lived without comfort or salvation. Corporations both ancient and new sit astride the few surviving cities like obscene, glittering spiders, wielding their power over their desert domains without question and without mercy. The fake smile, the furtive stare are the weapons of the city-dweller, forever dependent on their corporate masters for protection against the raiders and radioactive sands. Yet a few wander the wastes, living off the bones of the old world and whatever justice they can find at the end of their gun. Only time will tell which is the stronger.
HellMOO is a place of extremes. The first person you meet may be a caring street preacher, a rad-crazed knife fighter, or a mutant disguised as a man. It is up to you to decide which skills and allies will see you safe to the promised land, wherever and whatever that may be.
But all choices must be carefully made, as HellMOO does not forgive mistakes."(Source)tl;dr, HellMOO is a text-based RPG set in a wacky apocalyptic world with cities lead by the corporations of old, deserts full of chainsaw-wielding rednecks, underground labs full of deadly robots, and a lot of hobos. It has a lot of grind, but wacky stuff and awesome writing to keep you entertained.
THE PROJECT
I intend to bring (some) of the world of HellMOO to life in Blockland, and I need the help of the community. I've already given the first zone (Freedom City) a shot, however, I've rapidly come to realize that the build would net the charm and quality I'd like if I spread out the efforts. What if instead of one person taking the time to build the entire city, a bunch of people take the same amount of time all building one building?
If the community is willing to help me make my dream come true, the build, when finished to a certain standard, will be pieced together into the entire map and released to the public who helped make it possible.
I'll be running on a 'dibs' system. Builders will post what they want to build in the thread first, and wait to be listed as the builder in the OP. With this, efforts are less likely to be wasted, so when one person submits a build, four other people who were all building it suddenly realize they wasted their time and could've been building something else. I will allow up to three people to claim a build at once, and when one person finishes, if it is accepted, the other builders will have a limited time (not yet decided) to finish and post their builds to be compared and judged.
THE MAP
No buildings are completed as of now, however, if there WERE pictures here, you'd get the impression that the map is a cramped, dirty city, like Fallout NV's Freeside yet with much less space to move around and a bit more charm and bright lights.
As of posting this, 3/19/2016, I would like to know how many people I'd have who would be willing to lend a hand, and what brick packs and colorsets they recommend. Once the final set of add-ons and initial builders are decided, I'll post some building names and suggestions and we can get to work.You can take a look at the HellWIKI for some information on the world.
