okay so they're just adding more and more things to distract me from doing anything, cool
(this is a good thing)

You bet the second blocks are data-driven I'm revamping Pride Beds

Soooo...
Recently, I found out that function macros exist...
and I've been messing with command storage a lot lately...

With those two features - which are both INSANELY useful btw, and I wish I'd known about them sooner - I think I could recreate main-series Pokémon gameplay.

HOWEVER.
That's not my priority right now.
I'll keep it on the backburner.

HAPPY SPOOKY MONTH!
For this Halloween, I got possessed by an evil pumpkin. As you do.

Thankfully, the pumpkin was kind enough to let me keep making this silly new puzzle map.
Here, have a quick pic!


(glowy face was edited after the fact because I thought it'd look cool lol)

oh that's not what I meant to do

Whoa, look, Mojang added yet another cool feature for mapmaking with little fanfare, that's crazyyyyy

anyway I'm putting my big projects on hold to make a quick and simple puzzle map exploring the mannequins because I had a fun idea lol

Alrighty! I've got the gameplay all planned out for my next map. Now I just need to make the dang thing. It's gonna be a combination between chill farming and monster hunting - though not at the same time, of course.

Your job is to bring a brand-new selection of fruits to your small town, which has only ever seen apples, melons, and sweet berries! To do this, you must travel the wildlands surrounding the town, and slay fruit-themed beasts to get your hands on more kinds of crops. You can then return to town to plant some of your spoils, bringing even more in idly during your next hunt. Once you get a certain amount of every fruit, you beat the game!

There will be custom boss battles along the way, one for each kind of fruit. Can you best the stomping Tangeroo? What about the Potassquid that lurks in the depths?

Look out for Fruits of Labor, coming soon* to Planet Minecraft!
*Soon is relative. This map will release when finished and not a moment before. All ideas listed here are not yet final, and may be subject to change (especially the names of the bosses).

Nah, going back to Detective Looker being a Minecraft map. It's more fun for me.
That said, it's a much bigger and longer project, so it's going to be of lower priority.

I might still make a standalone fangame version later on!

Made a quick few building facades for the new map!

I'm going to focus on gameplay first, since this is original- with Detective Looker, the gameplay style was already there in the official Pokémon games, but not so here.

So, the city build itself will come last for this new (still untitled) map. I'll just make a quick mockup of the rest of the city layout for testing, probably just out of white wool or something, until the gameplay is at least solid.

This was more just to get a feel of how the city will look aesthetically. It's gonna be a fairly small town, but it'll provide plenty of room for the story to play out. Also, these two buildings are subject to change.

...yeah, I don't know why the image is coming out square. Opening it in a new tab should work.

Gotta say, making an original city for the map I'm working on is fun, but also difficult.
I love bringing a new place to life from the depths of my brain hole, but I am definitely not a city planner.

Good thing this city doesn't have to exist in real life!
(And to be honest, it'd suck to live there in real life. There's never-ending construction at all the city exits!)
