The Dark Ore - a concept for a Full Blockland Movie

[Filipe]

This has been one of my first projects in mind ever since I've joined this community, it's a concept of a full fledged Blockland Movie which I still want to make it a reality someday.

The Dark Ore is a science fiction Blockland Movie, inspired by futuristic movies and some works from the BEE clan, it's set in the far future where the Blockland civilization colonized all of the planets on it's own solar system, they're always linked providing resources, materials and scientific discoveries, it's the golden age of science and technology, one of the planets are used only for mining where a lot of new materials had been discovered providing technological breakthroughs over the ages, and turning the scientists who discovers them into legends, the planet is populated mostly of miners and scientists, often times they separate themselves in teams, sharing the discoveries together.

One of the scientists is named Tyran (concept name for now, it might change with time) a 30 years old scientist, famous by his studies in the medical area which are archieved by his vast knowledge in material research, but such fame made him thirst for more, he joined the Team V0002, which are about 10 people, half are miners and the other half scientists, that alone bothered him so much because he wanted to discover a new material himself, but that was the only way for him to access the Ore Planet. (Concept name)

He dedicaded his life on that planet, doing anything to find the next big undiscovered material that can turn him into a legend, or for power, until one day during one of his extra midnight hours, he finds a mysterious ore, hidden in the deeps of a recent new cave that had been opened for research, it had a weird wavey effect and - *ACCESS DENIED*

I don't want to spoil too much lol, but let me know what you think and tell me if this should be worthy for a Blockland movie.

I personally would love to see a Blockland Movie, this idea does seem pretty neat and the fact that the character wants power instead of wanting to be kind and loving to all is a good change.

I also want to play Spore now.

It sounds like an interesting concept! I would definitely love to see this made, Blockland doesn't have enough content like this.

I forgot to note that this took inspiration from our mining servers, and that some of them can generate brand new materials for the player to discover and give it a name.

but what if tryan is going mining and accidentally mines a lava pocket and dies

you should have tyran turn into a tyrant and then experience remorse for being a cruel leader the moment someone calls him a tyran-t

bonus points if tyran is a species of ant

Now that you've mentioned it, I've been thinking of yet another cool thing for the universe in this movie.

So since the Blockheads colonized the entire solar system a century before the events of the movie, the Blockhead species started to adapt depending on the planet they're in, for example there could be a mostly water based planet where squideey-like blockheads habitate in, with time they've developed better resistance in water, being able to swim faster and breath longer, but at the cost of having their bodies to modify in the ages.

Hopefully Tyran doesn't get eaten by the space bugs of death Tyranids.

[Filipe]

To be honest Tyran was completely out of nowhere, I didn't even think about the word Tyrant while I came up with it lol

sums up my opinion pretty nicely

Feel free to share any ideas for the movie if you guys want to.

Since its a BL "movie" would it not be appropriate to reference jokes and other shenanigans (addons, events, people etc.) as an homage to the community as a whole?
(Oh, and maybe a flying BTTF delorean in the background of a scene with a shot of space just for fun)

Oh definitely, since there are plans for a futuristic city setting in some scenes too there can be billboards and other details referencing things from Blockland and it's community.

Sounds like it has potential. I've got some space station interior builds lying around that you can feel free to use for sets if you want, here's some pics:







If you'd be interested in using these, preferably on your own server so you can avoid latency issues, and also since i don't host on Blockland very often anymore, let me know and i'll PM you the save with the needed support mods.
