    Breaking the silence: Computer problems, Discord, and future updates




    Hello!


    It’s been a long while. I wanted to take a moment to explain the silence, and update you on the state of Kalopsia.

    Back in April I was working tirelessly on pushing the next update for the month of April out. As we approached the end of the month however, my computer decided to die on me. As I only had one computer powerful enough to do any of my creative work on, including Kalopsia, I was kind of stuck. I had a decision to make. Do I buy a readily available computer, or do I upgrade to a much more powerful custom computer? I knew that with the state of the world right now, going with the latter would mean waiting a very long time.

    After some debate I made the decision to go with the longer wait time. If I was going to upgrade to a new computer, I might as well make it my dream machine. So that’s what I did. Unfortunately I am still waiting, but thankfully the light at the end of the tunnel is near.

    I want to apologize. I did not want to keep you all in the dark on the state of the map, but life and my own anxieties got the better of me, and days turned into a whole month.

    So what about the map? Well it will take me a few days to get up and running once I have my computer, so I don’t want to promise any timelines right now. That said, there are some big changes coming, mostly with how I keep you updated.

    I have had a few people ask me to create an active Discord, and after some deliberation, I have decided to do just that. Very soon I will announce a new Discord server for Kalopsia. I will post frequent updates to the map, as well as exclusive early versions on this server. At the same time I am going to completely overhaul the Tumblr page. The plan is to make it more like a website for the map. I will still post updates there as well. My vision is for the Tumblr page to be for official updates, and the Discord will be for conversations.

    Regarding the map itself, once I have my computer, I will jump right in and work on getting the next update out. I’d still like to shoot for a major release each month, but we’ll see.


    That’s all I have right now. Again, I’m sorry for the silence. I have a bad habit of going quiet when I’m stressed or anxious. It’s definitely something I try to work on each day. I appreciate all of your continued support. Talk to you again very soon!

    Already working on the next update to Kalopsia.
    Here is the current progress on the recreation of the map Zenith, from Halo 2 Anniversary.

    Pretty happy with how this is coming along. Let me know what you think!

    1.16 Update and the future of Kalopsia.



    Hello all!

    It’s been a while. Sorry about that. Life has been kind of crazy. But, I finally have an update for the map! This update changes a lot of the terrain, as well as updating the map to Minecraft 1.16 and just bring the map more in line with my vision. Plus there are now data packs!

    I am also changing how I’m developing this project. I realized that I don’t update this project enough. Life is busy, and I don’t always have the time I wish I did, but I sill should be updating this map more. I want to keep it alive, and I want to bring you all along for the ride. So instead of doing large polished updates that I “maybe” release yearly, going forward I will be doing smaller updates on at least a monthly bases. This will also change how I number them. For example, this is the first update of the larger Terrain and Mobs update, which is version 0.82a. So this release is 0.82.1a. The next will be 0.82.2a, and so on.

    Thank you all for your continued support and patience, it really does mean the world to me!

    Well At The End.
    Its Your Map.

    Progress and the future of Kalopsia


    Hi everyone! It’s been a while. I figure it’s time for and update. So what’s the current state of the map? How close are we to the next update release? Not as close as I’d like. Life has been very busy with school, work, and other projects of mine. I have have been making slow progress, however. But I have made some changes to the update schedule. I have decided to scrap 0.81.2. I will instead be combining it with the next large update. So, the next update will now be 0.82a. I am calling it the Ocean and Mob update. This update will be huge. Focusing on, as I’m sure you can tell, the oceans and mobs. More specifically major changes to the resource pack, including weapons and textures for the mobs; as well as a large number of new locations. You can find a more detailed roadmap on the Trello, here.

    I am very excited to get this update out to you all! That said, I have no idea how much longer. Life is still hectic, although it is calming down a bit, so hopefully I’ll be able to put more time into Kalopsia.

    Let me know if you have any questions, and thank you for all of your support!

    Hey everyone! I wanted to update you on the current state of the next update to Kalopsia. 0.81.2a will primarily focused on updating the oceans, adding sea grass and kelp. I will also be adding a number of new buildings and structures, which will also be focused around water. As well as more subterranean corridors and rooms.

    Unfortunately I have not made as much progress on 0.81.2a as I would like. The main reason is the lack of McEdit support for Minecraft 1.13. McEdit not yet being updated to 1.13 means that I have to do everything by hand, which more than doubles the time it takes for me to complete updates. Plus throw my busy daily life in there, and 0.81.2a is taking much longer than I anticipated.

    I’m hoping that I can finish 0.81.2a before the new year. I’ll keep you all posted!

    In the process of fixing some mistakes and bugs I found from updating Kalopsia to 1.13.1. I really should have noticed them sooner.
    Regardless, I should be able to push out this update either later today, or tomorrow.

    Working on updating my Requiem, and Forerunner spire submissions, as they are horribly out of date. Mainly going to bring the resource pack up to date. Stay tuned!
