Absolutely amazing! I'm definitely digging the youtube video idea and it's way more convenient than the opening a bunch of note.txt. The only real problem with the map is the number of pesky creepers (a few important areas that really shouldn't get blown to bits) but that's the price of being a purely vanilla adventure map.
On a side note I got kinda tired of tabbing out all the time so for the interested I made a short autoit script to launch an invisible IE window and access the videos via the numpad from inside minecraft. The script is pretty generic and loads a list of videos from a config file for the off chance that the youtube method gets more popular. Source is below and I suppose I could bundle into a .exe if anyone actually wants it.

I am uploading a new version. The early game was turning out to be much harder than I had wanted.
*New version is up. A lot more starting equipment, and some extra light sources to prevent so much mob spawning
I've been playing MC for several months every day. I got as far as the library and got damn tired if being blown up by creepers everytime I respawn. "Turned out hard?" Try nearly impossible and not playable for all but the most hardcore and experienced players. You should say this in your introduction so us average players don't waste our time. Took all the fun out of it.

I've seen dozens of playthroughs by new players who had no real problem. Sounds like you are just bad at minecraft.
Amazing Map! I played it on hard finished it in around 2 hours. I got stuck on the Maze part for 1 hour though. I love the voiceover thingy, Keep Up the Good Work! I hope the sequel comes out soon!

Whoa! great map! iw'e been playing this map for 15 minutes an i love it allready!
also, can you add a folder containing all the text in from the videos, so players are able to get all the info needed, even in offline mode???
anyways! great map! continue with the great work :biggrin.gif:
I can't wait to play this. I'm saving this map until I get my new computer so I don't play on Tiny and ruin the fun. At least one more month until I can play!
It was the best adventure map and took me 2 hours
Very entertaining. Congratz
Yeah and i also beat the maze in about 2 minutes or so
