GrimeCraft - GraalOnline Minecraft Server
 

I have been planning this for months now. I have finally come to a point were I am ready to start developing the server and looking for staff members to help me. Lexia wasn't really getting anywhere to be honest. Cutting right to the chase, here's my plan.

• It's going to be a platform (2D) style gameplay. Picture mario, but on a Graal server called GrimeCraft haha. You can interact with blocks and such with a 2D view.
• You can mine, collect and build with the blocks you mine and take yourself. You can then store them, smelt them, enchant them, and pretty much the rest. Your items will be full interactive.
• There will be the classic minecraft enemies, obviously with different names to suit the server theme. They can attack you and if you die, just like the classic minecraft method, you die and lose all your items.
• There will only be 4 directions of movement. Left, Right, Up and Down. Up and down will only occur when you are digging up and down from a hole or climbing up and down a ladder.

That's just a general taste on what I want to achieve from this. It's not really a complex idea. The movement system can be twice as simple as usual ones only having 4 directions. The gravity script is already finished since I'm starting to prepare for the development.

It's all going to be one big GMAP, with a background image for night and day. The time of day can change and monsters will appear during a certain time period.

You can gain experience, making your mining and damage increase.

The idea of it all just has a nice spark to it and I have a feeling that it's going to turn out great! I just need some willing volunteers to help me build the damn thing. If anybody would like to help me out, just email me [email protected] or send me a forum PM.
I'm generally looking for graphics artists and coders at this point in time. Thanks!

In other words, You're making a Terraria server.

Never heard of it. Care to share some links so I can do some research?

is it supposed to be grimcraft? grimecraft doesnt sound very appealing

Nope it's called GrimeCraft. If you guys think grimcraft is a more suitable name then I can change the name. I quite like the ring of GrimeCraft though.

Heres a couple photos and a link to the Wikia and alink to Terraria on Steam

Hell yeah. That's what I'm going for.

you should probably plan on having layered worlds. like above have a sky city, otherwise the gmap will only be a long narrow strip from west to east (left to right)

That's pretty much what I am planning. It gets darker underground and lighter as you go up. Daytime will influence this.

Sounds like Crafted. Which is Minecraft+Terraria. It's a nice idea. I'm excited to see it finished.

Sounds fun! I could help by eatting cake..

Omg if you could do that, that would be great.

Just kiddin xD
I could probably try to help be GP or PR or whatever they would be, or just spread the word.
Because cake is good.

We aren't currently in need of Police or player support, but if you could spread the word, that would be great.

How do you plan to interact with the blocks?
