i feel like instead of jumping to an unreleased version, resort to the v20 client as it exists today
yeah it exists, people like jorgur who live in nostalgia
give us a story on how a player finds theirself in that realm of servers
traveling between old rtb channels
everlasting dedicated servers
possible ties to adventure mode
extremist groups still hell bent on shadows and shaders vs terrain and interior in a perpetual warlike state
old game mechanics ocasionally faltering
addons disappearing into stock piles
legendary weps like the ion cannon or mininuke reserved as artifacts held by single individuals/groups
myths such as renderman or the golden brick actually revealing themselves as true
that would have me hookd rofl
PART 1: Trapped in Version 20
Version 20. The last version of Blockland to ever have maps and terrain. When Version 21 came, the Blockheads evacuated in mass droves from their homes for reasons unknown, leaving the Version 20 world behind.
Activity slowed to a massive crawl. All thats left of the Version 20 world now is a small remnant of players, some of them old-timers that embraced the nostalgia, and others clueless newbies who ended up in the wrong version.
This is where you come in.You are a hapless newbie who just discovered Blockland, and somehow ended up in Version 20.
You have no idea what to expect from a dead, abandoned version, but you do hear of legendary weapons like the "Ion Cannon" or "Mini Nuke" being held as rare artifacts, a "Main Adventure Mode", extremist groups locked in a perpetual war on shadows+shaders vs terrain, Renderman, and a golden brick.
You connect to a dedicated server, dead and abandoned. The fact that it is still running is a mystery. You slowly learn how to (barely) play the game, and build a cry for help with the bricks that you have. You use up the rest of your resources to spawn a bike and a gun.
You look around and see that you spawned in some tight, claustrophobic space.....
