Nova Nocturne [Caved-In Contest Entry]
Hello,
This is our entry to the Caved In Contest.
http://www.planetminecraft.com/project/nova-nocturne-caved-in-contest-entry/
"Work began on Nova Nocturne long ago, the original buildings long since gone, a new city built over. All except for a lonely shrine which lies at the side of the city, crumbling year by year."
Fast forward a few hundred years. It is NV year 248, Nocturne is a thriving city of trade and mining; it has a library, fortress, embassy, towers and an old abandoned shrine. However, strange things are about to happen at Nocturne. In the night a purple mist spreads throughout the city, citizens disappear, goods are stolen, planes come crashing down. The shrine is to blame, but the city is on the verge of decay, it is already too late. No matter what the city tries, the shrine continues to expectorate strange entities capable of great destruction. Finally, Nocturne gives up. Citizens attempt to run, hide and stake out the disaster, but few make it. Nova Nocturne simply disappears.
In an attempt to cover up the incident, the government permanently seals up Nocturne. The tunnels are collapsed, forever locking their secrets in. Transmissions are cut; the media is barred from mentioning it. Curiosity sparks, and word spreads of conspiracy and deception. Over the years, however, Nocturne is forgotten from the public's eye. It merely becomes a legend, a tale spread over campfires and late nights.
Fast forward to the present: You are a simple miner, searching for riches in the earth, mining deeper and deeper, hoping to strike it rich. The map for your area simply reads 'Abandoned. Do not mine.' Perhaps an old mine shaft may present itself? No such luck. You dig deeper and deeper, and break your way into what appears to be a maintenance tunnel. It is collapsed on both ends, and there are no minerals at all. Out of frustration you bring your pick down on the rock in front of you. The tunnel begins shaking violently, and debris in front of you collapses in on itself. The dust settles...and what do you see? Light streams out of the gaping hole...Your time has come.

We made it into the finals! Thanks to all of those who viewed our project!
Well, the contest basically gives you a large cavern, and you have to think about what you want to put in it. We just went for the recently-abandoned look. If you haven't noticed, there are a lot of hidden books around the place, so be sure to search.
The map might lag a bit though because of the redstone farms, so just disable them if it gets too bad.

I am actually impressed that someone would take the time to make a nice map and then write a story about it. So I take it the contest is for making a forgotten underground city? I am asking since there is no real info on the contest so I'm curious.
THIS IS... this is awesome...
Even if you broke some rules, this looks great. I really wish I could build like that, it inspired me to try my own take on your architecture.
Oh, we didn't know that. Sorry if we broke any rules!
Thanks for the feedback though!
Thanks for the feedback though!
Ignoring the fact that it's in the forums, this is awesome!
I like it. One thing though, you're not supposed to advertise your work on the forums.
actually u can show your work on the forums which is pretty much advertising it anyway
No feedback?
Added a video.
