[Plaatinum10]

I HAVE DECIDED TO CONTINUE MAKING THE MAP AFTER ALL BECAUSE OF THE POLL. I WILL REMAKE THE ENTIRE MAP AFTER I FINISH THIS PROJECT. THANKS FOR WAITING!

ROOM AFTER ROOM 1.0.0 IS NOW UNDER WORK.
WIP: 11%
ROOM AFTER ROOM 1.0.0 IS TAKING A BREAK BECAUSE I'M LACKING INPUT.





Please read the entire post if you want to play the map. I cannot stress this enough. Read the entire thread. The whole thing. Every word. Then, download.

Please also note that if you want to play co-op or multiplayer with this map, please play on easy or higher difficulty. You could also restart the server every time the difficulty has to be changed to get the feeling of the map itself, when played on singleplayer.

Introduction

Looking for a challenge? Been playing all those boring parkour or puzzle maps and needs a map to hype you up? Its Plaatinum10 here, or Plaat, for short, bringing you this HARDCORE map you've all been waiting for. This map is a typical straightforward map that just needs you to move on to room, after room, completeting the puzzles to move on to the next room, until you reach the end. However, these aren't the usual boring puzzles you encounter...

Style of the map

The several different types of rooms in the map include:

Puzzle
Parkour
Combat
Mazes

Videos

Currently 4 playthroughs of my map are featured, including a playthrough by ChimneySwift. There are many others you can search up on youtube.

Rules

Of course every map must have rules. If you do not follow rules, whats the point of the map?
The rules of this map is simple

Do not break blocks (including cobweb and minecarts) you didn't place unless a sign specifically says to break it. The exception is leaves and monster spawners. You are not allowed to place blocks you did not get legally. (eg. Creepers)
You cannot craft wool with string.

Do not hack items into the game using any sort of file changing, or in-game changing editor.

Do not use mods to your advantage. This map is designed only to allow the use of the mod, Somnia, which allows sleeping at any time, therefore allowing you to reset your spawn at daytime.

Do read and follow ALL the signs and do what you are told to. That include dropping off items in chests, and changing the
difficulty. Also, please start playing on peaceful, and then change to Easy + later on when you are told to. Do not use water buckets in a room you did not craft the bucket in.

Try not to ragequit. The entire map is playtested by me and several others many times, and is proven completable.

Do not hurl or throw apples. Keep them in your inventory as it is the score.

Spoiler

Teleporting to another player is allowed in multiplayer.

I guess that is all for the rules.

Download

I guess this is what you all came from, right, so here is the download.

Download 'Room After Room' Version 0.8.1, made in Minecraft Version 1.8.1

Quote

The download is in adf.ly because
1. It doesn't cost you anything, only 5 seconds of your life added to the download time
2. It gives me a little something to accomplish from making this map
3. I was making the map throughout my examination period
4. It makes me happy =D
So yeah, if you actually just NOT want to wait that 5 seconds, post to tell me and I will provide a direct download. I still think 5 seconds is faster than waiting for me to see the post and post up a direct download. =P

Installation Instructions are in the readme accompanied in the download, so please take your time to read it.

(Filesize : 684.39KB)

Other Information

Texture Pack recommended is Subtlecraft. It is 16x16, and does not require MCPatcher. It is not required, however, to play the map.

Mod recommended is Somnia. It is used to allow you to sleep at any time, able-ing you to sleep at daytime.

The map is almost entirely made out of planks, so if you have allergy to pixellated wood, please do not play my map.

Also, this map takes around 1 - 2 hours to play, depending on your skill. This map is specially directed towards hardcore players.

You are allowed to place torches.

If a creeper blows up a part of the room that renders the room unable to complete, you are allowed to skip the room to finish the map. Also, do a report on the topic on that.

The rooms are placed in no particular order of difficulty, apart from the first 5 rooms, the warmup rooms.

Sometimes enderman may screw up some parts of the map, especially the last room, where they can just take blocks from the walls and place them randomly on the floor. Play in 1.9 for the BEST experience.

If you want to play in multiplayer, and not want to restart the server to change the difficulty, start on easy difficulty or higher. You'll have to deal with monsters in the library as well. =D

Your score is counted by apples. Get as many apples as you can! When you reach the end of the map, post the number of apples you got in the forums along with a screenshot to prove it!

Easy+ means Easy or above.


Reports

If you found a bug or glitch on my map, please post the bug on this topic stating clearly what it is about, adding screenshots when necessary.

Scoring System

Your score for the map is recorded by apples! Please post a screenshot of your score if you want to be included in the high score list!

Feedback by reviewers

Opening Thought:
Do you guys know how hard it is to write something instrinsictly linked to a map but a rant/ thought in its own right? Because let me tell you, it isn't easy... Okay this'll do. Isn't wood a funny word [CENSORED BY NOTCH]

... Damn it. Enjoy the review.

Visual:
I really enjoyed the design of each puzzle leve here, each one offered unique and different set up that makes them truely memorable. I also enjoyed the way the combat sections were done in the obsidian and with differnet set ups really breaking everything up ... oh yhea but ther colours all blend together into plain old wooden planks so that could have used variety.
[8.5/10]

Challenge:
Top marks here, every challenge has an interesting and creative and above all else different. it never gets so hard I want to snap my computer in half, but in never gets impossible. If you're willing to think about it and be challenged then there is non-stop fun to be had.
[4.5/5]

Length:
Okay The length was nearly perfect, but the minecart setions seemed out of place. However I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt and assume that they are there to bridge the gaps that you'll put puzzles in for the completed version, as such top marks.
[4.5/5]

Puzzle variety:
As I've said the puzzles here are all creative, fun, interesting and different. Even though there are a few parkour and combat repeates they all bring something different to the fold so may as well be completly different. I particuly enjoyed the golf section which is more like a crate of fun rather than a barrel.
[9.5/10]

Things That Need Improvement:
- Visual Colour Design
- Finishing it

Thngs That Need No-Improvement:
- The Puzzles
- The evil creator notes

Final Thoughts:
This game is a ton of fun and ranks up there as the best straight puzzle map I have ever played, it not only eeps you guessing between each puzzle, but requires you to use your brain if you have any hope of completing its myriad of challenges. In short this is a game for all those people who think that the usual puzzle rigmaroll of having a bainless jumping puzzle all the time is... well brainless.

Percentage Score:
92%

• Room After Room 0.2: Very very very challenging. Some puzzles are sooo difficult, and I loved the glass puzzle. The last part, the HUGE parkour was the best! I completed it in a single shot. This map was a very nice one, silly signs, but some parts were a bit annoying, like the giant library maze. Hardcore players will like it. Well done.

Pretty good puzzle map, the puzzles were challenging but doable with some effort

The way you set out the map was good, I liked the whole room after room feel of it. It definitely gave it a more puzzle-like feeling. It looked good.

Redstone_Fanatic, on 11 October 2011 - 09:59 AM, said:

It was an excellent map, I wish you'd used the monsters more tactically like in the last room. Other than that, one of the best puzzle maps I've played in awhile, even though it's only in Beta. Props to you for a nice map.

Thanks! I am surely waiting for your video. I subbed too!

I guess I'm off to sleep, I hope this map gets response tomorrow morning. Cheers!

[shadowwalke]

Nice map. Will test it when my com gets back. And will try to make a video about it.

[MassiveLogistics_2611]

That is ultimately great, challenging and uses my deepest cognitive thoughts for each room. If you were wondering who I am, I'm one of your Beta Testers. In fact maybe the only one. And for your information, Massive Logistics exists.

However there for a few Pros and Cons. To find out much of them, I played this twice. The first try is for the test, the next is a kind of 'Go-Behind-The-Scenes' where I punched wood. Therefore I have arrived to this basic conclusion from Band Of Minecrafters.

Pros

• Thought provoking
• Death
• Rewards (cake is not a lie)
• Format (in which it is presented)

Cons

• Death
• Small range of getting the correct landing
• Mode of transportation around the test chamber and between test chambers (except the long minecart ride)

IN TOTAL, I WOULD RATE IT /.

Well done. Diamond is to gold.

[Plaatinum10]

Any more new feedback or players? Seem very quiet the previous night. XD

[TBone105]

Map looks interesting, I plan on trying it out tomorrow! I'll also be making videos of it when I do.

Sure! Please do also leave the video as a post on the topic. I may put it up on the first post. =D

[Plaatinum10]

Anyone who played and want to give some feedback?

[Plaatinum10]

Just a little semi bump here because of the very little reception.

[Bmandk]

At the last room where you need to jump and fight monsters, a creeper blew up one of the jumping pads. Can you fix this in any possible way?

[Johnnieboy]

Im downloading, definitely gonna do an LP of it! Looks pretty interesting

[TBone105]

I just uploaded the first part of my playthrough. Here's the link if interested.

I will probably find some way to fix this, but not in the near future, because that would make me have to remake the entire room. I would replace the floor with obsidian, though.

[Plaatinum10]

Thanks for 200 downloads! I'm working on the bugs now, probably will release in about 5-7 hours time.

[unifyyy]
