Demo Ruins is a terrain build featuring all your favorite Blockland builds in a whole new light. See old default saves and other classics old, destroyed and in ruins.
Demo Ruins came about in Badspot's Block Party. While flying around I saw a small hut overgrown with grass and vines. It was rather spammy looking and I do believe Ephi deleted it, but it made me think about Portal 2... In Portal 2 you see a lot of the old chambers in ruins after 100s of years. Then I thought, wouldn't it be cool if I tried that with a Blockland save? Being in Badspot's server, I thought the Demo House would be the easiest, and most recognizable, thing to recreate.
I didn't just want a stupid demo house though, that's boring. I also wanted it to lead into an adventure by rigging up a nice event sequence in the house. I started by making the "Try clicking on the light" text flicker onto your screen and dim out after you click the light. Then editing the light to flicker on and off until it short circuits and breaks the floor below you. This lead into a series of Mines that I carried on from the build beside me (which featured the "Ye Ol' Mines".
Apparently, my work was inspiring B), and DarkScropion started work on a ruined Pong build. It's pong projectile bounced around and broke out of the frame, the alarm was broken, and it was all out of whack. I loved it. I'm_AFK being my faithful companion through the server decided to make Demo Fort from the kitchen in ruins near my house as well. I loved that too.
I loved all these builds and thought almost all the default save files would look great in ruins! So I saved up Badspot's server and went back to mine. I destroyed everything but the 3 ruined builds (and some wonderful terrain by jediman in front of my house I just couldn't bring myself to remove). So here we are, and we need your help!
(TL;DR: I thought it'd be cool to make a demo house in ruins, people made other demo builds, and then I started this server)

SquareHead is currently my host because my server was acting up and being quite laggy.
**Jirue and Plornt have decided that rather than just keep their Treasure Chest mod completely private, they will give it to users who help out a lot with this build. If you help out enough you will receive a PM with the Brick_TreasureChest mod inside.
NOTE: If you received this mod as a gift before August 7th, yours is outdated and has a minor bug. Please ask Jirue to send you the new version.
