Be warned this is lengthy, if you want to skip to what im asking you head to "Factors" section. This post is constantly being updated so keep in check in case any new factors arise or i decide to close the voting for factors.
After playing Across the Time i felt the need to create an adventure map because i love playing them, so i am taking in suggestions for many factors that go into the map
Hey guys i am currently quite a skilled redstoner/command block user and decided with all my skill i may as well make a map, so here i am.
1) The person is exploring Islands after being swept up onto one following a plane crash
2) The aim is as yet undecided but i feel the urge to make it related to the nether/end
3) There is going to be a lot of decisive actions in the island so that each play through can be different
4) Its kept realistic (to an extent) meaning that no magic spell ect
5) Set in survival mode
1) Scale of Map/Island number
2) Interactive features of villagers/shops
3) Types of puzzles (e.g maze or multiple choice ect)
4) Whether or not to put in scary elements (like randomly appearing heads in and noises when going deep into the island)
5) A resource pack for the map yes/no
6) Currency system/Leveling system
Thats all i can think of right now but make sure to keep check on this section as it will grow in due time
a) Structure scale: I personally want to build very large mountains/volcanoes and possible buildings but it might be "too much" for some people so please just say 1)a) Large or Normal depending on whether you want large or normal size structures
b) Map size: I want a absolutely huge map however some people's PC cant handle very large maps soif you want me to limit the size (not make it small, but limit the size by packing as much as i can into a space) then say 1)b) Limit or No Limit
c) Explorable Seascape: I dont want to put in this feature despite how good it is because its hassle to redstone underwater but if you want a explorable seascape with structures say 1)c) Explorable/NoExplorable (if there is +60% of people who want it then i will feature it)
d) Island Number: The idea for me was to have around 4 BIG islands that are joined (Think of pokemon!) and many sub-islands in the vicinity. If you want joined islands then say 1)d) Joined/Not Joined and if you want more,less or the same amount of islands then say 1)d) More/Less/4 Islands
a) For quests should the villagers give books, talk or both? (If not sure what i mean by talk look up Across The Time game play on youtube) 2)a) Books/Talk/Both typed in your reply for your answer
b) Should i include random NPC's that dont have a purpose? 2)b) Yes/No for your choice Personally i feel it will add to the island but it might take up unnecessary space and make the world laggy
c) Outcast communities or just main communities. As in communities that are not linked to the main story but have a small storyline of their own however this would increase the lag in the world for some low end pc users. 2)c) Outcast/NoOutcast for your choice
d) Villager trading shops, automatic hopper shops or both? 2)d) Villager/Auto/Both for your choice
e) Power-up shops? (as in permanant haste or permanant jump boost for 50lvs ect) 2)e) Yes/no for your choice
a) Maze/Labyrinth puzzles included? 3)a) Yes/no
b) Secret passageways/invisible door puzzles (where you have to go through walls that look solid but behind have levers ect) 3)b) Yes/no
c) Riddles or not? (because i feel they add a lot to playtime but some people don't like them) 3)c) Yes/no
d) Parkour IS going to be included, is this ok? 3)d) Yes/No
a) Should jump-scares be included? 4)a) Yes/no
b) Should i make a haunted graveyards? (When you step over/break grave a zombie appears on the grave ect) 4)b) Yes/no
a) Should i include a resource pack for textures? (I was thinking of including but i need a texture maker!) 5)a) Yes/No
b) Should i include a sound for music discs (as in playing real songs) 5)b) Yes/no
a) I am going to include level specific missions (E.g only level 50-60 can do this mission) is this ok with you? 6)a) Yes/No
b) The currency is going to be emeralds, is this ok or could you suggest a better currency? 6)b) Emerlands/suggest a better currency with a description
c) Level Specific Items are going to be include (e.g a sword that only a level 40+ can wield) is the ok with you 6)c) Yes/No
1)a) no limit
1)b) Yes
1)c) no... ect
THE MAIN SUBJECT OF ALL THIS IS THE QUESTIONAIRE AT THE FACTORS SECTION. So answer it accordingly then add an overall opinion onto the end because i need to get the statistics of everyone opinion before making the map

Bump, i still need a lot more opinions though...
Responses are with a little more detail than asked for.
1a) Fairly large, but focus on the good stuff and don't rush. Limit the scale if you don't think you can get it done in a reasonable timeframe, because ultimately, smaller detailed projects can trump one where you are working on it forever and you finish it next year... and then you get started on the next one.
1b) Pack your content and try not to add too much that is unnecessary. People get lag from the most basic of minecraft mechanics, rain, and if they complain about rain you're bound to get complaints about a hugely detailed map too. By all means, go fancy, but keep the low end in mind as they tend to get loud pretty fast.
1c) Keep it as an afterthought, finish everything else and then ask yourself if you really want to do it. Explorable seascape would be a nice detail, but finish the rest and see if it would fit in, as you are obviously not too enthusiastic about undertaking such a project (and I don't really blame you for that).
1d) I like your take on it.
2a) Honestly, I think I would go with books.
2b) Not really. If you're going to add them, have them do something very minor, but ones that do absolutely nothing at all are fluff, and from the looks of the project they would do more harm to player performance, and therefore experience, than good.
2c) A limited number of outcasts would be fun. Keep it to around two I think, to keep performance as well as detail in mind.
2d) Villager shops are more interactive. I fully support them; so long as the element of adding a bunch of extra entities is good to you. Chances are performance on someone's machine won't be as good with villagers.
2e) Sure, although I can't give a solid reason why, so take other folks input into higher consideration on that.
3a) Sure!
3b) Sounds fun.
3c) I'm mixed. On one hand, they're a fun thing. On the other, I suck with riddles and you will probably get flak for them being "a waste of time" by folks that don't like them, or they could be seen as just a way to add artificial gameplay when the time is in reality straining to get through it to do something more fun.
3d) Sure. I suck with parkour, but sure
4a) Not really, they don't add to anything in my opinion. Nothing lasting enough for me to call it scary. Maybe I'm just biased by the amount of crappy jumpscares I've seen.
4b) That sounds like it could be fun, if done right.
5a) Sure, as long as they aren't the kind that folks will be intentionally replacing with their own because people tend to not like it. If you're going to add it, make it good.
5b) That would be a nice side, but tread lightly. Some authors like to be sue-happy about music...
6a) Fine with me.
6b)I don't see why not, emeralds don't have much of a use in general otherwise.
6c) I've played the diablo series long enough to not mind this one bit.
