Release Date (Updated (again)): Early April
Q&A
What is Red Dead Redstone?
Red Dead Redstone is a Western themed, open-world adventure map I'm working on.
Is Red Dead Redstone Red Dead Redemption in Minecraft? No. Considering Red Dead is a series (RDRevolver and RDRedemption), I thought it would be interesting to sort of make a Minecraft-alternative version of the series. As you can guess, I'm a HUGE fan of both games.
Release Date?
Early April
What's the setting of Red Dead Redstone?
Go to my Map Info post below.
RDRedstone is open world, how big is the map?
Go to my Map Info post below.
Will RDRedstone have a mod or texture pack to go with it?
I'm trying to avoid making a mod at all cost, since it's easier for players. However, there is a texture pack for the game that will be required to play it.
Will the game be released on this page?
No, I'll make another thread for the game. This page is mostly for pre-release info and getting the word out. I'll be sure to post a link on this page for the download page, though.
How long has RDRedstone been in development/ Why is it taking so long for an adventure map?
I first started development on June 15th, 2012. I'm using MCEdit to make most of the landscape, and when I started, I had little experience with MCEdit. With that said, I've had to re-do large parts of the game after figuring out certain techniques in MCEdit, making those locations look much better. Also, I'm the only one actually building the game, and a great friend of mine is making the texture pack by himself.
Are you worried about getting sued by Rockstar Games for using Red Dead in the title?
Not really. I'm not making any money off of this, so I doubt I'll have any problems. And Rockstar still gets credit where credit is needed for making Revolver and Redemption. Also, Rockstarloves Minecraft.
Pictures
The railroad leading out of Kingston and into Easton Supply Co.
A shack sits in the swamp near Buck Lake.
The quiet town of Cold Lake lies in the foothills of the Neai Ridge.
The view from Bearclaw Mountain, the tallest point in the game.
A battle from a lost war probably happened here.
Dr. Turner's Office in Whitelight, where you can find Medicine, Snake Oil, and other goods.
The Wade Family Farm, now under your ownership to fix it up.
Texture Pack: Yes, we're already working on it.
Mods: I didn't really want people to have to install mods, but seeing as the ModAPI is coming in the near future, expect a western gun mod to be a part of RDRedstone.
Location:
Red Dead Redstone takes place in the fictional state of Denton, which is largely based on Colorado and Wyoming. The state of Denton is divided into 3 distinct regions, each of which are filled with at least 18 unique towns, settlements, villages and other various locations. Almost all structures/buildings in these locations are enterable. Denton's locations are:
Neai Ridge: This is the mountain region of the game, where snowy forests and hills are everywhere, not to mention the war being wadged between the new settlers and the natives who call Neai home. It's locations are:
Redstone Mining Co.
Tanner's Hide
Gwi'yaa' Peak
Pineheart Tribe
Icebone Tribe
Cold Lake Mineral
West Denton: This is the more civilized portion of Denton, where redstone mined from the Neai Ridge is being used to power nearly everything, and it's citizens are obsessed with it. It's locations are:
Kingston
Whitelight
Easton Supply Co.
Harper Ranch Hawthorne Farm
Songbird Tribe
Fort Calhoun
Maseah Plains: This is the rural plains region of the game, where Natives still roam like they have for thousands of years before the settlers came to Denton. The settler's influence can still be seen here, however. It's locations are:
Wolfhill Tribe
Harlow
Goldpan
Bassfin Tribe
EDIT (1/3/2013): All strike through locations have been cut from the game, but some other ones have been added.
Size:
The map is expected to be about 20,726 blocks wide and 15,360 blocks long, or 1296 x 960 chunks.
Accessibility and Travel:
1 1/2 of the 3 regions (Maseah Plains and half of the Neai Ridge) will be accessible from the start of the game. The other 1 1/2 regions (West Denton and the other half of the Neai Ridge) will be unlocked by the player as the story progresses. The map's scale may be a bit much for some, and travel may get annoying, which is why the game is fully equipped with transportation to help the player navigate the open-world map. Boats can be bought or made to travel through the rivers and lakes of Denton. There is also a train that runs through East Denton and part of the Neai Ridge. Maps can be found in chests throughout the game, and are very helpful when exploring. When traveling on trails, signs mark the way at every intersection. And of course, you can ride your fast, trusty pig wherever you like inside Denton.
And last but not least, an unmarked map of my progress so far from a Chunk View on MCEdit:
Note: All the ugly Red and Yellow dots on parts of the map won't be there in the final product, also, this whole map is just the progress I'm at now, not the final thing.
Hey pal how's it going. I hope you haven't given up in really excited to play this
Listen I got a few ideas now that 1.4 is out
Shops: there should be a money system and a shop system in towns Wher you buy things like weapon store, supply, doctor etc
I was thinking gold nuggets and bricks
Piggies are out so we have horses now
Texture pack:
Bow = revolver/any western gun
Mobs: skeletons=bandits guns
Creeper= bandit with TNT
Zombie= melee bandit
Villager= town folk
Leather armor= duster coat
Gold armor = deadly assassin suit (without eyepatch)
Iron = cowboy suit
Diamond = legend of the west
Actually, I already had planned a lot of that stuff. I have a full shop system and working on a economy thing. Also the pig riding will defiantly be in it, and I will add Tailors for clothing like in Red Dead.
They're updating redstone in February, so RDRedstone may or may not get delayed. Expect a better game though, the new redstone features will be really useful.
Here's a map I made of Denton, not the best looking thing ever, but you'll probably need it when playing the game if I can't get the in-game map working.
hey dj. I have been following this map creation for a long LONG time! =D heck I was first to post on the thread I actually found it randomly under last updated, I now think it was destiny! Especially since I found it right after I beat red dead redemption! XD
I can't wait for it to come out I am so excited! I am thrilled to do a let's play of this map on opening day. I would be honored to have the privilegde of posting the first red dead redstone video and when all the popular minecraft youtubers start playing it I'll be like "Got there first!" Like how the first person who made a slender video felt. =)
I can already tell this is going to be a wonderful map to play, I can predict by the end of 2013 it's in the Greatest Maps thread.oh also man can you do me a favor. I'm following this topic but sometimes things dont show up! D: I was wondering if you could send me a link to the new thread when released via PM so I don't miss the opening day. =)

Thanks for keeping up with the game; glad to see that a Youtuber wants to play my game. Sorry for the wait, but it's a two person project and our first adventure map, not to mention the fact that it's open-world. And how'd you know my first two initials are DJ?

Sure! In fact, seeing as you're so interested in the game, I'll let you beta test it before it comes out! Once that point comes, I'll send you a link and let you play/test the game before the full release. Feel free to record it.

Sure thing, and like I said, I'll let you test the beta if you want.
Note to anyone else reading: If you'd like to beta test, please message/PM me. I need about 4-5 more people.

1. No problem man! I raise my glass to you my friend for taking this project on and also don't worry about the time taken to complete because all good things come to those who wait!
2. I have no idea how I knew your initials were DJ. For the longest time I thought your profile was DJ280 not D1280. LOL it's destiny!
3. I would love to beta test! That would be amazing! I'll send you a PM you think you got an estimate on how long it'll be till beta?
This page is now obsolete, but I'll leave it here for anyone wanting to look through it.
