Hey everyone, I wanted to get your opinion on an idea I had, This genre is stepping away from adventuring and moving into story telling. Now don't get me wrong, I won't be making a book in minecraft, there will still be interesting gameplay mechanics, but the focus will be the story. I'd want you to be immersed in the story and feel affected by what happens to the characters. Let me know what you think of the idea, if you'd like to see it happen, or if you just want me to scrap the whole idea. If you're not a fan of the idea, let me know why and how I could change my idea in order to make it better
i think its a good idea but its kinda boring to set around reading the story most if the time but adding a storyline it awesome for puzzle, adventure, parkour, and others related
To be honest with yah man, adventure maps, are story telling. Hypixels map for example, have a basis to them, like Herobrines Mansion, and the Return. But if you really wanted to make a story telling adventure, then look back at some good old fasion adventure maps. Watch some old Yogscast playthroughs, or Antvenom. Those are the kind of maps I think you are talking about. But for the most part, maps already do that. If you really wanted to make people connected to a character, then try making a web series based on minecraft, and a story. Like a never ending adventure map, that you are watching instead of playing.

My plan was to have command blocks give up messages, but the game would mostly be minigames, like running a restraunt, or shopping, something that would tie into the story.

That's a good idea, but I don't have the hardware necessary to make videos like that sadly. In a way, the maps would be like adventure maps, just minus the mob fighting (For the most part, haven't completely thought of it yet) I guess it would be a minigame/puzzle- sort of map, with an added story.
Hmhhh I want to try to help you, I just cant think of ideas because its a really hard concept to think of actually. Why don't you make an adventure map, that instead of fighting and stuff like you say, why not make it, "The Life Of Steve" or something. Have the player wake up, and then they head to the local town for work/shopping/something and then a twist happens. Idk maybe make it have Herobrine's Awakening. And you the player are chosen by Notch (The god of minecraft) to help him defeat Herobrine. To stop Herobrine, the player must do a series of [place number here] tasks, and each task weakens Herobrine. And in the last task, you must fight herobrine himself, maybe, idk add some kind of fight at least. And yeah. Man, that is a good idea for a map actually, I might just steal it for myself haha

That sounds like a great idea, lol. I'm willing to do whatever for the map, since in essence it is just a test map to see how good I am at map making. I lazely made a couple of maps about a year or two ago, but they were terrible. I want to get into it again, but I want to test some things. Btw, if you do make a map, let me know, I'd love to play it

That must suck. If there is anything I can do to help, let me know. I know the feeling of loosing a map after putting a lot of work into it, and It really does suck.

Eh, don't sweat it man. Everyone attempts an adventure map and quits, like me haha. I have quit so many, I just can never finish or I loose inspiration. And if I do somehow make that idea into a map, ill try to find you and let you be the first to know. Or you can just add me, and then constantly nag asking if im gonna make it to get the inspiration and enthusiasm to make it.
well think hes not realy what you would call "famous" in minecraft so its not gonna be that much like it
And who isn't famous in minecraft? Hypixel, Ant, or the Yogscast. Because all 3 of them I would say are extremely famous in the minecraft community. Hypixel has innovated and raised the bar way ahead of the sky for custom maps, Ant is just an amazing YouTuber that is very cool, and the yogcasts are in everyones mind, maybe not heart but definitely in mind. Don't even forget, the Yogcast got over 5 million subscribers, and Ant has over 1 million subscribers, I would say that's famous in anyone's book

Also, maybe we can message each other with ideas and nag each other, lol. I've also started a lot of maps, and also have abandoned a lot of maps. I just loose inspiration for them, but I have a map idea in mind that I'm going to post another one of these "Idea" topics at a later date, once I find out if I can make it or not. Hopefully this "Story map" idea will be the decider there.
Hmhhhhhh maybe youre right, maybe he was talking to you..... SORRY HAYDEN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, just don't give up man. If you loose inspiration, take a break, eat an apple, and carry on. Keep you goal in sight and in reach. If you must, attempt to get a build team, and some people to help you with the map. They will keep the inspiration flowing and they will "hopefully" try to keep you going with the map.

For my main map idea, I'll probably definitely need a build team for it, my plan for it is to have two different factions, each with four races, and each one of them having seperate classes. Than each race will have a separate story line, and each class will be a different game play style. It would be, in essence, a version of skyrim in minecraft, except more like eight different skyrims in the game... It would take me years to do it alone
So basically, you want a straight up open world RPG(ish) PVP arena? Because if its literally gonna be an adventure map for each individual faction/race, then maybe you should build individual maps for each race/faction. It can be like a series or something. But damn, that is big my friend, I am sure you can do it If you try. Let me know if you attempt it, or need help getting builders. I might know 1-2 people that will help. And I bet I can get some good builders through the forums for you too.

Yea, I would probably need help, but I don't have access to a server I could use at the moment... I won't be starting that map for a while anyways, so that'll give me time to get everything together. If I do end up getting access to a server, I'll definitely contact you on the matter.
