Got it fixed, just had to do a complete uninstall of the game then reinstall
So, I was able to play this game after I got some free time, my voice was bad so I couldn't do much of a commentary on the game. That said, I like the improvement. It makes the game flow much better and the plot moves very smooth. The puzzles were nice as well. Hope the next map is just as good.
Today, we try a new style of commentary which involves a lot of cuts and update reports and bring in some roleplay to the series as the town of Gavony continues to grow.
So lets starts about the style of video editing and commentating today. I have seen some channels use the cut and update style to progress through the episode and to be honest, it wasn't one of my favorite styles. Sure I probably got a lot more done this way for the episode but as far as preference, I prefer to just do it on camera. As for the wall, to be honest I've had walls on the brain for a long time for a different project and I had been thinking about doing a wall for Gavony. Oddly enough, when I started to work on a concept of the wall, Bdouble0100 had a livestream working on a wall and he was doing it for the same reason I was thinking about, to keep the villagers safe. So, I came up with this design in the end. I didn't want to do roofed walls because I have another project that will be working with that but I also wanted to make it simple. So this style worked. Now, I did go away from gray roofs because I wanted to add a bit of change to the build. To be honest, the walls at one point were made of Granite but the color idea didn't go so well so I went for randomniesed stone. I'm also happy to have the role-play back in the series because one of the main things for me when it came to building was story, what's the lore to the place. I do have plans for non-lore projects like centralized bases and such but that's for further down the road. For now, I want to get this up and running. Hope you all enjoy and I'll see yah around the bend.
Today, after a few weeks of delay I show some small updates that I have been working on and tackle a project to improve the XP situation and the results are amazing.
So, what to say about this episode. Its been weeks since I put one out and that was because college caught up to me and I had to focus on it for a while. To be honest, this is the second take of Chapter 8. The first take was about the banners but because I felt like the quality was rather poor I scrapped it and turned the banners into a little update. Now, I was surprised that Gamemode 3 allowed us to clip through the world for x-raying. That said, anyone on a multiplayer without commands can't do that. I was also surprised you could see what mobs saw and the bat was pretty cool. I had no idea any of that stuff happened. I'm also happy to have a name for the town now which is Gavony. Now why Gavony? Well, I'm a MtG player, (Magic the gathering) and one of my favorite blocks was Innistrad which in it had a town called Gavony which was plagued by zombies. Now, since this is a town that has villagers which means zombie sieges are a thing I figured that they fit together here. I may use references again to other things I like for projects and for some I will make up original names, just depends on what suits the situation better. But since I mentioned it, I do plan to let the villagers free at some point. I just want to get the town set up and have some walls to keep them safe from the zombies. Now I am working on some role-play stuff for one of my projects and once I have that all worked out I will make an episode on it and start that project. Oh, and before I forget, those roads that lead out of Gavony, I intend to put small projects dotted along those roads so suggestions for ideas on what to build along those roads would be nice. Hope you all enjoyed and I'll see yah all around the bend.
Today, after a little exploring, we find a new outpost location and start building the style and people of the town while talking on a few subject.
This episode was pure last minute. I hadn't expected to find a mesa biome right as I was about to start the episode but I found it and found myself switching gears at the last minute. The clay is helpful because this opens up several projects I have that I can start work on which I may or may not start next episode. Part of me wants to get more roofs up on the spawn town and another part of me wants to get some projects started. Right now, including spawn town, I have about three or four different projects in mind of what I want to work on. Now, let's talk about that tent. Yes it's a tent Jamzieboy made however I liked the style of the tent so much that I want to build more of it and see how I can make it my own. Also, as for lore with the orc I am still pulling lore straight from Heroes V. I don't see much happening in the orc outpost except a site to dig out clay and a few tents, maybe some walls. So much on my mind and this opened up alot of flood gates. Depending on how I feel so many things could happen next episode. So, hopefully you all enjoyed and I'll see yah all around the bend.
Today, we get to see the outposts of the map to see what the nearby land has to offer, find some interesting places along the way, see an old minecraft update in use, and build an automatic pumpkin farm with one hand.
So this had a lot of potential and even though I didn't reach all of my goals I still found it a success for the day. The main thing was to go out 800 blocks in each direction from the nether portal and see what I could find. I had hopes I could find two biomes, a jungle and a mesa, to help with my building but sadly I didn't find them. That said, I call it a success because I found two things I wasn't looking for but are happy to find. A guardian temple and pumpkins. Then pumpkins I liked because they are a cheap light source I can make without being awake and can easily bury them in the ground to reduce the amount of glow stone I use. I will still keep a lookout for the mesa biome so I can get clay for one project and an eye out for the jungle to get the last missing wood type and some melons and set that farm up. As for the town I started doing more layouts and was just thinking of random buildings I could build that can either be for pure ascetics or have a hidden farm inside. Two things are for sure. One, this town is becoming like a type of base without walls for protection so I have to put thought into getting some walls maybe. Second, I haven't thought of a name for the town and at this rate I will need one because the place is expanding fast. As for building a farm with one hand, that was just a last second idea. I knew how to build the farm easily and I wanted to add a bit of entertainment to the video since it could have been considered boring so I figured why not. It was a challenge to do but I ended up getting the place built. As for thoughts on the next episode, since I have a definitive style for the town down, especially the roofs, I was thinking about next episode go over the roof design and too see what else comes up. I do have need for a cacti and reed farm as well as set up a butcher shops for each of the animals. I know this was a lot but I acctually had a lot on my mind for this episode and the next one. Hopefully you guys enjoyed and I will see you all around the bend.
Finished plaything this map. In concept, I liked the map. Wish it was a little longer but I enjoy detective stories. Some of the grammatical errors was a pain to deal with but that can be easily fixed with edits. A suggestion I would put is instead of having a book filled with all the parts have each of the parts in their own book hidden with the item so it feels like the person is unlocking the story and its just not given to them. The main thing I have to note is the diamond hunting. I didn't feel like it fit into place for the most part. Its felt like an add on concept and it didn't feel like it had much to add. Is it suppose to be the detectives pay for solving the crime or what? Overall it was nice, rough, but nice. Hope to see it polished.
Today, I show a little progress on the town and what to expect and also get a new enchanting area up and running.
So, aside from just posting the chapter is up, I figured I would also give thoughts on it. To be honest I wanted to get a lot more done in the episode then I did. I was hoping to get the redstone and the building up in one episode but hey, things happen. I also mentioned about Slenderman in this episode. Halloween is around the corner and I want to play a game for it but I am unsure what so I made it a joke I would play a Slenderman game if my last plan failed. But it didn't fail. That said, I like to hear what people think and I am open to the idea of a horror game so if people want me to play slender man or a demo of some other game for Halloween, I would be up for it. The main reason why i won't do a full play-through is funds. So that's why I have to stick to free but hopefully scary. I have contemplated Five Nights at Freddy's because the sequel is coming out and I know it has a demo. Nonetheless, I am open to suqestions. Hope everyone has a good day and I'll see yah all around the bend.
Hi, I'm Agreal Slade, the Black Mage. This is my single player survival series that focuses on building, adventures, and just having fun. For this series I am using a modded texture pack called Ozocraft. Link will be provided to the original pack since I didn't make the pack and I will not distribute my modded pack. Along the way I will also try to talk about thing going on in my life and talk about things that the viewers ask me to talk on since I do enjoy discussions. I upload an episode every Friday or Saturday around 0900 PST, depending on my schedule since this is a hobby and not a job. The series has already been going for a few weeks and I feel ready to start sharing it more with people. I also do something different. My videos I don't call episodes. Since I enjoy writing and like to be creative, each episode I do is instead called a chapter since each video is a new segment and hence a new chapter.
Up to now I have done Chapters 0 - 4.
Chapter 0 - 1st Rule | In this chapter I talk about the basic ground rules for the series and follow the 1st rule which is to, without cheating in any way shape or form, survive the first night of the world.
Chapter 1 - Laying Foundation | In this chapter I show what I have done so far, get my texture pack up and running, and show off some of what I have in store for the world.
Chapter 2 - My Muse to Work | In this chapter we see some progress on the mine, find some nice minerals, recap what happened in the first attempt to record this episode, then build the first building of the village as I talk about muses.
Chapter 3 - Nether Look | In this chapter we get to do our first level 30 enchant, take a look into the nether, and do a little building.
Chapter 4 - Building Bridges | In this chapter while checking to see what kind of build style I have for camera, I build a bridge over the ravine and talk some about college life and have some troubles.
From here on out I will be posting each episode as it's own post so as to keep this post as short as possible. The Playlist link will always be up to date with what I put out as I never release a thing without putting it in a playlist first.
