Author Topic: The World of Monochrome  (Read 1819 times)

Finally finished with my first major build, and it's called The World of Monochrome!

It's a simple concept, it's just all black and white and I tried to come up with interesting looking builds with it. I've never had someone else play it, and I'm not sure if it's completely glitch free, so it's still in Beta.

It requires a good amount of add ons...(Linked to the ones I can find.)
No Lines Brick
Negative Light
Yuki-tastic (Colorset)
SetPlayerTransform
Camera Events
WiiMenu (Music)
Ambient Darkness (Music)
JVS Future Door
JVS Switch 1
Upside Down Prints

It works best on the Construct map, but if anyone still has Construct Vector, it'll work even better! When you load it, just go to the checkered baseplate that reads "The World of Monochrome", and press the buttons there to get started. Please, if you could, download it and try it out, just to see if there's any problems with it or anything. Hope those of you who download it like it!

I don't think it's really confusing or hard to figure out what to do, but I'll provide a short walkthrough for those who really are that confused by it...

Part 1. Press the button underneath you, you'll fall to the bottom of a shaft. Go through one of the four doors around you, and then find the one black door to exit the checkered room. Walk down the path and go to the next part.
Part 2. (I forgot to put the glass back, sorry. You can actually just go right to the next part if you're lazy.) Go to either one of the two doors on either side of the path. Go into the small chamber, press a button, which will take you to another small chamber inside of the larger ones. Exit through the door, and press the switch, then exit the chamber. Do this to both chambers, and then go back to the path. Press the button, and you'll be taken to Part 3.
Part 3. Navigate through the maze, at the end you'll find yourself in a room with several print bricks that say "Up" on them. Step onto the button on the ground, and you'll be fired up to the next part.
Part 4. Walk down the twisted path, and fall into the water below. You'll be taken to the end of the checkered room, and will find yourself in a gray chamber.
Part 5. Walk along the path and find the rainbow tile. Click it. You're finished!

Story : The black and white-ness symbolizes your mix between life and death. In Part 1, you are just waking up in the world of monochrome, unsure of where you are and why you're there. You fall deeper into a coma, getting nearer to death. In Part 2, you get a close look at both life and death, and return to your purgatory, to proceed farther. In Part 3, the maze symbolizes you wandering around blindly, not knowing where you're going or what's to come. When you finally find your way, you get fired into reality, and realize what's coming. You get to Part 4, and fall in the water, which makes you remember that you drowned. You know that you have to get out, but it's too late, you're in part 5, complete Purgatory, just waiting for death. Then, in one last glimmer of hope, you find your way out and back into life, which is symbolized by the bright colors.

It's a poorly put together story that I just threw together to make the build seem like it has some kind of meaning. The sanity thing is left over from the old story I had put togther, and didn't feel like taking out. It's more of a visual thing. xD


EDIT - And again, this is beta. In a while, I might work on it to make it a bit more impressive, and make a more decent thread in the mean time. 'Till then, this is what you're stuck with. Sorry! ._.'

What do you do in it?
It's just a build...
There's nothing to do.
But marvel at the awesome.

What do you do in it?

Well, I guess I should post a walkthrough or something for people who can't figure it out...

I said, when you start go to the Checkered Platform and press the buttons to get started. Once you start, you just navigate through the build (Which takes the form of a black and white landscape) and get to the end. It's like a really short adventure game, basically.

I would rate if i has permission...

Uhm... you can haz permission? I said I wanted opinions on it, didn't I? And did you actually try it out? Did it work?

You keep editting it, and then saying i was wrong and should've read the post.

I'm not saying you're wrong! Me asking for opinions has been there since the beginning though. I'm not trying to take an offensive tone with you or anything. o_o'

Ok ok.. sorry, Where so i save the .bls

I think you save it to Blockland > Saves > Slate. Download the picture and put it in the same file, and you'll get the save picture with it. Thanks so much for trying it out!

0.o my eyes hurt... so bright...


@Hacumi - Hmm? Which part is too bright? Is all too bright? I'll try to fix it, if I can.


The white looks yellowish, do you use Construct? I'd suggest Construct - White, it has normal lighting where white is white and doesn't looks so yellow.
