What are the roots that clutch what branches grow
Out of this stony rubbish? Son of man,
You cannot say, or guess, for you how only
A heap of broken images, where the sun beats,
And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief,
And the dry stone no sound of water. Only
There is shadow under this red rock,
(Come in under the shadow of this red rock),
And I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of dust.
32 Checkpoints: 13 Main Storyline chapters, 19 Side Quests / Points of Interest
Recorded audio "narration" for checkpoints
Carefully sequenced "loot progression"
4 Custom Skins
Suggested Soundtrack
Gameplay Rules:
(see READ ME file for full rules)
Stay within the bedrock wall. At least until you complete the main storyline.
You are welcome to break/mine blocks. However, I hope you respect the ‘storyline’ and don’t break down man-made structures (such as steel doors) unless the story justifies it.
You are free to craft anything you like.
You are free to burn or explode anything you like!
Only use mods and texture packs that are realistic to the themes of the map (e.g. Dr. Zhark’s “Mo’ Creatures” horses, or Spitfire4466’s “Steam Locomotive”!)
Only count records from Checkpoint Chests in your final score, not dungeons.
I recommend that you listen to the audio ‘narration’ at each checkpoint, but you can also read the text
You may play on any difficulty setting. Note: as your listen to the main storyline’s chapter narration, I will recommend changing the difficulty at certain points, to better fit the storyline.
You may find yourself running low on inventory space. Feel free to find/create a base camp where you can store your records and other items.

Wow,looks epic.I hope players will be able to break and place blocks,because giving this normal adventure map rules would suck with such an epic landscape.

Yo dawg I heard you like playing Portal so now you can play Portal while playing Minecraft while going to Hell.
I can't tell you how much it breaks my heart to say this, but this project is on hold for at least a week.
The map is complete; terrain, structures, content.
About half of the playtesting is complete.
BUT... I made the decision to film a video in this map before releasing it. The script is written. Multiple accounts purchased. Custom skins created. Music obtained.
I started recording single-player scenes, and that went 'ok'.
But when I tried to record multiplayer scenes, my FPS takes a nosedive. It's just unwatchable.
So I'm shopping for a new PC, and it will take at least a week to get it and set everything up. Then record, edit...
I'm going to shoot for release of the video, and then the map by end of May.
I've put a lot of consideration into just putting the map out there now, but it just won't be "right".
In the mean time, I'm going to do a little more play testing and keep tweaking the script.
Do it before 10th June 2011 (Australia) And you will get
I believe everything is ready with the map itself now, but I am in the process of recording voice narration (got knocked out 4 days this week due to a cold) and a walk thru video.

New PC is coming Wednesday so I can record my walkthrough video.
So I'm tenatively hoping to have the whole package available next weekend.
In the mean time, I am working on another new map that may possibly be available in 2 weeks.
Yeah! I can feel the vibe. I'm very much looking forward to this one, this fellow thinks outside the blocks.
FEAR IN A HANDFUL OF DUST
@Albarel
Awesome^2
Along with Chapter 1 of the video!
Minor update: added a missing 'side quest' checkpoint
I was right. This map is amazing. So amazing. You did a great job on this.
Thanks! Please let me know if you find anything I should consider fixing/changing!
Please reply with any glitches you find!
