Minecraft: Post Whats In Your World

There is a mod that instead of creating an earth-like world, it creates glass spheres with individual biomes inside, that are loosely connected with bridges but there are some small orbs where you would find rare minerals that need a bridge made to them. It's a pretty cool mod.

Nice, same texture pack :D

I have never found a wolf at the same time as having a bone to tame it with. Kind of a useless feature in my opinion :<

Because Dwarf Fortress doesn't let you be anywhere near as creative, or allow you to benefit from a sense of perspective by being able to move within your own creations.

I am sure there was a thread like this already, but the site doesn't like searching so I have made a new one!

Essentially, post whats in your world!

My wife and I started a new world using the Glacier seed on a private server, and built this tonight. A glass greenhouse with a tree farm/hydroponic farm, a silo for storage, a cute little house with beds and a garden, an incinerator for Gravel (pfft!) and an awesome strip mine.

We cheated the Glowstone blocks in since you can't go to the Nether in vanilla SMP :(



I also built this as a demonstration to someone on how to build neat minecart systems, turned it into a full subway system with color-coded lines and such.

Yeah it looks a lot better now. The only other thing that might stick out to me (as a truck enthusiast, not an artist) is the rear window is a bit too rounded. I'm not sure what year Dodge Ram you are modelling this after, but that looks more akin to a Toyota Tundra than a Ram. But it still looks badass.

What does it mean for a game to be an RPG?

RPG is a flavor, not a genre. The primary elements of an RPG can be seen in any genre. The classic console 'RPG', such as Dragon Warrior and Final Fantasy had two or three key areas of gameplay.

Combat, which was a form of Turn Based Strategy (and later to become Real Time Strategy or Action Style.)

Out of Combat, which in the earliest genres were highly based on exploration and puzzles, and later added dialogue simulation and mini-games.

and Character Management, which is the defining feature of an RPG because it wasn't something really seen in video gaming yet. Inventory management, party management, character advancement, etc. The Menu Stuff.

RPG has never really been a genre, but a hybrid of genres. Yet the common element, which was drawn from Table Top RPGs (the purest form of RPG) was consistent enough to be able to label games that were hard to label.

The reason the discussion of "What is an RPG?" comes up so often in recent years, as opposed to "What is an adventure game?" or "What is a simulation game?" is because of this. Developers realized that the element of RPGs that was common throughout, was easily applied to any genre. Racing games with car improvement and customization. Shooters with leveling up and customizable load-outs. It is a flavor, much like Ketchup or Maple Syrup. It's not really a meal on its own (unless you are Canadian) but can be added to almost any meal to make it even more delicious.

The other key feature that RPGs had that not many other games did when it was first released was a Story. But that doesn't make it a defining feature. Story itself is a flavor. Mario had a story, not a good one, but a story. Pac-man didn't. Mario isn't any more an RPG than Pac-man is (that is to say, neither of them are) but one had a story and one didn't. It is a common element through-out most RPGs, but not an element of RPGs.

Ability Progression, plus new media:

The squid sprite is so Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, lol. It's awesome. The Cerberus is just phenomenal though.

The pillar between the rear door and the cab should be thinner. Otherwise, BADASS. (Oh and the diamond plate toolbox should be over the lip of the bed, I think. It looks that way on the far side)

The Dreamcast games yiu never had

I used my dreamcast more often as an MP3-CD playing stereo than a game console.
