Temporarily broken in 1.5. Downgrade to 1.4.7 or come back later. It will take a considerable effort to fix this, so it may be some time before we do so.

A Day in Tuscarora

John Johnson was a competent businessman with a nice management job at a large financial firm in the big city, but when his latest scheme becomes more successful than he had imagined he finds his life turned upside down when he is forced to relocate to his old fashioned home town. Will John's big city life style impress his new peers, or will there be big problems in this small town?

Map Facts:

A Day in Tuscarora is an RPG style Minecraft Adventure map that, like Deja Vu, utilizes a, never before used adventure map game play mechanic in conjunction with a unique story line and setting to provide to player with an immersive, thought provoking, and highly entertaining experience. We really can't estimate how long it will take to play through because it plays like a 1980's/90's point and click adventure game. As of now, we highly recommend single player.

There are officially 4 endings to this map. 3 of them are good endings, 1 of them is the bad ending.

Official Trailer:



Rules:

There are only three rules in Tuscarora:

• Don't break any blocks
  
• Don't switch your game mode
  
• Play on Peaceful

It's really that simple!

Glowing Reviews! (taken from the thread below)

"Love this map." - also rsmalec

"Wow. Let me just say right now, this map is great!
Now, for a more in-depth review:

Spoiler:

I LOVE the builds. I'm perpetually amazed, as someone who can't work in the default texture pack, by the things that people can do in it. Every building is amazingly detailed and realistic but also unique from every other one - just like a real town.
The mechanics are outstanding, too. I have a soft spot for point-and-click/text-based adventures and you did a great job pulling off a game like that in Minecraft, which doesn't cater to that style too easily.
I liked the story, too. I haven't seen "Groundhog Day" but I do know the plot; this is definitely a homage to it without being a rip-off. But who doesn't like to see a mean guy turn nice? I thought the multiple endings were neat, too - they add a lot to the map's replayability (I ended up getting the girl)
I had some difficulty weeding my way through the gameplay (I had a lot of trouble figuring out how to take the girl out on a date, for example) but after looking at the 'Player's Guide' I was able to figure everything out no problem. I really appreciate you putting that together - for someone like me who tends to panic when something's "timed" (even when it really isn't) I like to have a guide at hand I can turn to.
So, again, excellent map! I've gotta go replay it now.

"This map is one of the best ones I have played. It kept me entertained until the very end, and I am still coming back to do all the endings." - ElderWalrus

Yet another map added to my "must-play" list... I'm hoping for something even more surprising and immersive than Deja Vu!

It's hard for us to make a call on how immersive or surprising our own map is, but we can certainly say it's different! Hope you get a chance to play it soon.

That may end up the first entry in this threads glowing reviews!




Updating to version 1.1. Only minor bug fixes, probably nobody will notice the difference.

[ColdFusionGaming]

...

Now Dotonmor will be 30% less original.

Great minds think alike, I suppose.

(And yes, I'm referring to the interactive story...)



Otherwise, looks...interesting. That's what I said about Deja Vu, though, so I'm sure this will be a good one.

I'm working on an RPG map myself. A very original one. I've always loved map making but never really found Minecraft's blocks and mechanics suitable to make an actual Role-Playing Game. But with the recent month's additions of Command Blocks and more customizations, I feel like that's really changed. I'll try this map to take a break from building.

If we're being honest here, we call it RPG/ADV because we don't really know what to call it...

[Geminos]

We're going to play it tommorow right after we'll manage some free time.

[BickerCraft]

This maps looks awesome, and by the other maps you've already made, I bet this is going to be an epic map, I will make a playthrough of this map for sure ;D

[dasbuttocks]

We look forward anxiously to the playthroughs... this should be fun!

[dasbuttocks]

Another fun thing we realized is that we'll be able to tell who filmed the map right away by the Christmas chests!

Does this map work with 2 players?

You'd be playing the role of the same character, you'd have to coordinate with each other, and you'd have to stick together at the end to win, but you can play it with two players. It's not so much that we discourage multiplayer,; we encourage singleplayer. That's the way it was built to be played. But it will work multiplayer.

Well that went quickly. I randomly found a cabin to sleep in, then someone woke me up for the festival. At least there were two full days, any earlier I wouldn't have even seen the (done-many-times-before) plot.

I did play around a bit to find out what was wrong, because you should not be able to get to that cabin by accident, and eventually I had the glitch occur. It looks like this.



There's really nothing I can do about that, so that whole bit will have to be redesigned somehow to avoid randomly generated constant signals from nowhere (sigh...). We will fix it in the future, so your input is appreciated.

*Comment edited to save face.

[tstorm823]

Glitch above has been given a patch up that's probably just a temporary fix. We will wait and seee

[Leetskillz250]

I never meant for that to come off as sass. I was joking more than anything, not trying to insult you.

[Lover_Of_Pies]

Looks great! I will be playing it for sure.

I believe Vlad had similar problems in Chronotide. Use minecarts+detector rails to update the repeater.

I apologize. When I typed that, I was annoyed by such a stupid redstone problem.

It should be ok now. That signal actually only has to go out that far once, essentially. It's one of a few that lead into an AND gate that trigger a switch that only happens right before you reach the end. So what I did is move the AND gate much closer to the center of the map so that the long part of the signal goes much less often giving much less time to glitch, and by the time people trigger it once, they will finish the map 90% of the time. Basically, it should be good enough for now, I'll leave it like it is now until we have reason for a major update or we have news of the same problem occuring.

With that said, anyone who downloaded it before today should redownload.
