Thanks so much for saying so! I really appreciate that you took the time to look through the map, despite it not being finished. It definitely was ambitious, and I was expecting to be working on this for a few years, so it was cancelled mainly for Minecraft's own limitations, not out of motivation. I had a ton of gameplay mechanics that I were planned out that I thought would work well enough in the engine's own limitations, but when it came to implimentation that's where the issues arrised. However, I'm still holding onto a lot of these for my next project, which will be larger in scope, but I plan on having a large team working alongside me to help in both coding and building.
  Atmosphere is still going to be a key factor, which I really tried to push as far as I could with Minecraft. Obviously Half-Life was a gigantic influence, and funny enough Pink Floyd's album Animals had a lot of the same vibe I was going for, if that makes any sense. While I'm not jumping to any conclusions, Hytale seems to offer a huge amount when it comes to animation, coding, lighting, scripting, cinematics, which I'm all very excited for. The next project I've been planning is one I've been passionate about working on for years now, but I knew that Minecraft wouldn't have the capabilities to produce it, though right now I'm using Minecraft to create scales of environments and mechanics that I'm hoping to impliment.
  I'm excited to be working on this next project, which I hope will be even better than what might have been this map. It's sad to have so much work be cut short after over 2 years, but again there's a lot I'm planning to carry over, so not all of it has been wasted. Still, I'm glad that people have been able to see what might have been, and I'm glad you enjoyed looking through it! I'll keep this account active and up to date when it comes to my next projects as I migrate over to Hytale, so I'll keep updates as to where the next project is headed!

I've decided to abandon this project as of now, I found myself running into quite a few limitations as to what I could do story-wise. However, this doesn't mean I'm gone from gamemaking, as I'm planning on working through Hytale instead! Probably not with this particular map in mind, but I definitely plan on retaining a lot of story elements and ideas I've had with this map! Hytale is looking like an incredible tool for map and game makers, so I'm pretty excited for what it has to offer

That's be awesome! I don't know exactly when it'll come out, it's pretty much a solo project for me but I'm trying to keep the project posted with updates. When the video comes out, send me a link, I'd love to watch it!
