For anyone who wants the maps: Link.
It's a page of links to the old mediafire downloads.

OK, so I posted my first update on Kaizo Caverns a couple pages back, but it got lost in the sea of posts about download links. Here it is again, for people like Hybran, Karilyn, and TheGeekZeke who were interested in seeing it. Not trying to spam, but I took forever writing the update, and I wanted people to see it.


Ooh, a CTM pro? Thanks, but really, I'm not. At least, I wouldn't consider myself a CTM pro. Maybe I am, though. It's all a matter of opinion!

Anyway, here's an update on Kaizo. Yes, I'm finally posting one. This is the first update so far that I've posted. This is probably going to get overshadowed by the people posting that the downloads are broken.

So, I'm going to be walking through my playing of the map very quickly, up until Intersection 2, because most of what happened at Intersection 1 wasn't all that interesting.

So, I spawned in the bedrock place! Walked through to the Lonely Lava cavern, took most of the supplies from there (even found a few hidden chests) and went on to Intersection 1, after going through the jumpy puzzle and getting the white wool. After going to Starbright Caverns, punching the tree there, making a pickaxe, and taking the enchantment table there (and getting the orange wool) I came back to the VM and started to build a humble base. Vechs, thanks a million for that enchantment table early on-- really helped me out. :smile.gif:

Yada yada, mined coal, mined stone, farmed trees, made stone pickaxe and sword, avoided various pitfalls and traps, went down to the mossy cobble dungeons, owned some spiders, blazes, and zombles like a boss, got past the cave spider spawners, and to Intersection 2. I'm ashamed of myself, but I had to go and look up the location of the magenta and yellow wools. I collected those wools, and that's all the wool I have right now (although I kept on playing, and I'm glad of it).

So, I went to Cavern of Sky at Intersection 2, because it sounded the least evil (and looked the least evil). I decided to go check out the hole in the floor leading to the cavern. Broke the spider and cave spider spawners, and hopped into the Nether, not knowing at all what to expect. Well, Vechs, I have something to say about the Nether area. Before you go to the Nether, you really are surviving on food from chests, and using stone tools. You aren't very well off, but after going into the Nether, you have tons and tons and TONS of supplies. There are tons of chests in that room you spawn in, in the Nether, that give you lotsa combat supplies, potions, etc. Also, there's mushrooms of both colors and netherwart, all unguarded, in the Nether, so that after you go to the Nether, you have infinite food by farming big mushrooms. This wouldn't be such a big deal to me (I mean, free stuff is good, right?) except that it's easy to pass by that little opening to the cave that leads to the Nether and, instead, go right into Cavern of Sky. Also, if you went to another area first, like the Mines, or Twisting Dark, you would have almost no resources, so it would be pretty much impossible to beat those areas!

So, all I'm saying is that you might want to move some of those supplies in the Nether to a more obvious place in the Overworld, that's guarded by spawners. It seemed a bit cheap that you could get all that stuff by the luck of whether you entered the portal or not. But anyway, it's okay because I got all those supplies anyway. But I really am glad I went to Cavern of Sky first.

So, after collecting the stuff from the Nether (but not going into that evil-looking fortress yet), I went back to the VM and farmed mushrooms because I was bored. I had plenty of bonemeal, so farming big mushrooms isn't a problem. I got 3 stacks of each type of mushroom (yeah, I know I went overboard, but I was bored, and now I have food for the rest of the map).

Then, I went into the actual Cavern of Sky cave. This is a really nicely designed area, and it's fun to go in there. Collected Rockbane from the chest, pillared up with Feather Falling boots from the beginning of the map, and mined some iron (about a stack and a half). Went back to base with Rockbane, made iron block, danced around at the VM for a while with awesome Rockbane, anddddd... went back to Cavern of Sky. I stored Rockbane safely in a chest at the entrance to Cavern of Sky, and then made a pathway up to the left, to that dark area that you can't see from the entrance of the cavern. Well, I'm glad I did, because there was tons of coal and stuff there! Score!

After lighting up that whole area (making sure it was safe for me to take Rockbane there, because I really don't want to lose that thing), I went over and mined 13 stacks of coal with Rockbane (again, I know it's overkill, but now I'll have torches and coal for the rest of the map). Rockbane is so awesomely overpowered, seriously.

After putting Rockbane and the coal safely away at the VM, I went back to Cavern of Sky yet again to investigate that little stone house to the right. Went in, purposely broke the gravel in that passageway, made a tunnel through the lava and silverfish mess, and walked across the bridge to that stone brick place. I won't bore you with the details of exploring that place, but I did and obtained the blue wool and supplies. I don't get how the blue wool was there, though, isn't that one of the last wools? I suppose, then, the pink and lime wools, and some of the other earlier ones are in Twisting Dark and Ilvern Ruins and Mines. That really sucks for people that went to those places first, because then they wouldn't have gotten the supplies from the Nether.

Anyway, that's where I stopped playing for now. 6 blocks on the monument, (5 wool, one Iron Block). I only have one death so far, and it was a stupid one too-- falling down one of those pits in Starbright Cavern (at least I recovered my stuff). So far, this is probably my favorite Super Hostile map so far, but it's insanely easy. Part of the reason it's so easy is because of those supplies in the Nether, sitting there unguarded in that room you spawn in. Without those supplies, I have a feeling that most of the beginning of the map would ACTUALLY have been nearly impossible. The fact that Vechs put the pink and lime wools, which are early on, first makes me think I wasn't supposed to have the supplies from the Nether in that part, which was kinda unfair. But anyhow, I digress.

Taking on a tradition from Hybran, here is the "picturemobile!" Click on the spoiler to see what supplies I have at my base in my chests, the VM so far, and my little base at the VM:

Please, I'd love any replies on my progress so far, because I feel like this will be overshadowed by the people posting about the download link. :sad.gif:

Hey Vechz, just wanted to say, you are a great map maker, and I can't wait to see more from you. Good job on the Supply Recovery on Episode 13 of Spellbound Caves. For a second I thought you were going to enter the nether and the first thing you would hear would be "BOOM!" Haha.

Well, anyway, I was wondering if you have an estimated release date for Fallen Kingdom, sorry if I got that wrong, I know it has to do with kingdoms. Have you even started yet? I can see if you haven't being busy with your test world and Spellbound. Well, I hope to see more!

PS. When I searched "super hostile" in the map forum, it came up with 666 results. :smile.gif:

Quote from Winarve

But hey dude, when is Fallen Kingdom coming out? Or the new Black Desert ofcourse.

Quote from Mob_Mauler

Ummm..... Commission Project? I have seen your recent videos and I didn't hear about this commission project. What is it?

Quote from Vechs

I think is feexed.

Feeeexed.

Feeeesh.

Yuss.

4shared appears to be Vechs-friendly. Yay. Oh, and user-friendly, because I can do the same index-style view that Dropbox did, only 4shared has no bandwidth limits... or at least, that's what they claim. We shall see. I am cynical and untrustworthy now. >: (

Quote from kamyu

Someone is paying him to make something. He mentioned before that commission projects will always take precedent for obvious reasons and that he will not reveal any details about commission projects. It is up to the clients if they want to release anything about it.

I like trains. *wreeeoooyoowwwww! splat*

Quote from Vechs

When I'm done with my commission project, then I will start work on the next Super Hostile. Can't give you an ETA.

Quote from crouik

Yeah I was about to propose that too, but I guess it's against Vechs TOS :wink.gif:

Quote from isaac_bardin

Hybran, you are AMAZING! How in the world do you finish these like this? Man.

Also, I lol'ed SOOOO hard at the "Isaac Repellant Texture Pack". You're a really funny guy. :biggrin.gif:
