Look at Marzipaan for originality and the Basilica just because.

BAC?

Think of Lordy Lord's older builds and imagine that you didn't see them on the forums.

I'm going to find shots of Marzipaan.

I already made a topic about it.

http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=180532.0

As I see it, the topic you created revolved around collecting and archiving maps for easy access. This topic is about understanding how we can improve the maps themselves and improve the 'scene'.

I think it would be cool for you to revive it. If you do, PM me first as I have a nifty little submission you could add.

EDIT: Also, new rule on the form: Gibberish and snide comments as opposed to just leaving a box blank will result in your entry being deleted. Come on guys, its childish and stupid. Get over yourselves.

The NWB topic was lost when all of Randomguy's posts were deleted after he posted meatspin. Or so I've been told. And honestly I don't remember who told me that.

Edit: Taken the time to look over my saves, as I faintly remember seeing the build ingame. Sorry, but I have nothing. It is good to see you though, Sirrus.

I think it's Camera Events? I've attempted to create a cutscene with pathcam events but never finished it.

In previous projects of mine I've utilized signs, notes and Portal-styled narrative to convey a story. I agree with you on the bots, however I believe their simplicity is irrelevant if the outcome is satisfying.

It would be cool to be able to talk to bots as they wander.

edit: when the survey's over could you post link to results or allow us to see what you got if possible

Yeah, of course.

Rough outline as of now, after 25 responses:

• Multiplayer preferred at 50% to 38%
• 5 participants have downloaded a map
• Mostly positive and mixed feedback on downloading maps, "would have to be interesting"
• Soundtracks are looked at mostly positively, participants with negative feedback mostly cite poor internet connections
• The idea of utilizing a replacement Add-Ons folder is generally well received. There has been mention of developing a client-sided system that allows you to switch through Add-On folders for easy access to required mods
• Most participants cite story, original puzzles, RPG elements and general originality and innovation as selling points.

Detailed response summary

Can anyone recommend any previous adventure maps?

I'd like to see some too. It's rare that I see them come up and admittedly I have never really found myself all that interested until recently.

And thanks for the feedback guys. I've gotten some pretty detailed responses so far.

Hello,

This topic was created to evaluate and assess the problems associated with the Adventure Map scene here in Blockland. What does the community think? What do we want to see?

Apart from simple discussion in this topic, there is a Google form you can fill out to help the cause.

Form Ten questions. Multiple choice and short answer.
Result Spreadsheet

Also, new rule on the form: Gibberish and snide comments as opposed to just leaving a box blank will result in your entry being deleted. Come on guys, its childish and stupid. Get over yourselves.

Please feel free to discuss the questions in the form, ideas, etc. in this topic. So far results are coming in at a slow but steady rate, and bearing some great and interesting answers.

Posting topics in the gallery section without images of your creations is generally frowned upon - as its what the board is for. You should just go ahead and modify/edit your post to include screenshots of it. You can upload images to websites such as Imageshack and Photobucket. Google them.

and no, GBLD isn't dead at all.  we've had quite a bit of activity on the server lately.  just not many comments on forum

Referring to me. Sorry. :P

My computer has finally exploded and I'm barehanded. Hence my even greater levels of inactivity.
Right now I'm just praying (not really) that I can recover my ICVA saves - and well the rest really.

suuuuucks
