Author Topic: EV0_'s The Escapists! (BETA) - Takin' a little break.  (Read 2221 times)

Hello, and welcome to my Blockland remake of the game, The Escapists!

Features
Features will mostly be the same as in the actual game!
A list of notably different features:
  • The view will be in normal first-third person.
  • There will probably not be any GUI.
  • It's multiplayer! The players will all be prisoners while the guards are bots.
  • That's all I can remember from the top of my head :\

Gameplay
You are a prisoner that's trying to escape. While it is will take quite a long time to escape, you will need to gather supplies and materials to make your escape/prison life easier.
Routines:
  • Prison life is based off of routines. You must follow these routines if you want to keep the guards off of your back.
Crafting:
  • Want to survive? You'll need to craft a better weapon in order to defend yourself from other inmates.
Favors:
  • Sometimes another inmate will ask a favor of you. Completing one of such will reward you with money, or other payment by player discretion.
Boredom:
  • Yes, prison life can get very boring with all the routines each day, but what better way to give you incentive to escape!
Roll Calls:
  • Every day, there are three rollcalls: Morning, Afternoon, and Evening.
  • If you miss a rollcall, the prison will go in lockdown and the guards will come after you.
Exercise:
  • Your stats (STR, SPD, and INT) determine how much HP/Damage you do, how fast you are, etc.
  • You will need to exercise each of your stats if you don't want them to fall back down to 1!
Required Files: This server uses Item Storage for quite a deal of things, and requires you to download it.


I would like a few models for some items, so I don't have to stick with snowballs. I already have Icons, I just want a few models (Pixelated would be better.)
If I missed any important details, please tell me, and I will add them if I feel them nessisary.
Also, pictures of the prison coming soon!
Donate if you want!

Should be interesting...


Aww damnit

I actually have an escapists Add-On that I started almost 4 months ago
I'm too lazy to go back to it, though

lol I started mine about a week ago and it's at least a third of the way done.
Maybe we could share?

When do you think it will come? And are there going to be seperate mods for it?

I actually hosted beta 30 min ago, and what do you mean with the seperate mods part?

Nice, I was thinking about making a gamemode myself, but I will let you settle with it, my step-bro, Xarcane_TN will like it! :D

who would play the guards

Oh, I forgot to say: Bots will play as guards.

sounds like fun
guard AI might be a bit tricky though

Another thing I forgot to mention: The server requires Item Storage for many features to work!

lame
wish there was a better way to open inventories from that mod without the client part

edit: how big are inventories normally? it could probably actually be represented pretty well with print bricks

Toilets have 4 inventory slots (and aren't checked by guards during shakedowns), and desks have 16 inventory slots (but are checked). All of the utility closets (cafeteria silverware, janitor's closet, etc.) also have 16 slots. Anyways, if you download IS for this, you'd probably end up using it for your servers, too (depending on what they are).

Pretty excited, hope it goes well
