Adventure Multiplex 2 is out and I updated Eronev 2 to work with 1.6.2. It looks like most of the bugs are removed from Adventure Multiplex 2 at this point. Every now and again a new one is popping up but they are minor and don’t effect the overall playability of the map. Usually are self inflected by people TRYING to break the map (I’m looking at you rsmalec!)

Anyway, work has started on my newest adventure. It will be a shorter style map, mostly story driven and aiming for some cool special effects and a healthy dose of juvenile humour (the best kind). It isn’t based on any of my other series and is brand new. I’ll be away on Vacation for a bit over a week so if there are any huge issues with either the website or any of my maps I wont be able to fix them… but I guess you wouldn’t really be able to read this either. Enjoy.

The release of Adventure Multiplex 2: The Village is just around the corner!

After far too long, and a little too much work, it’s almost complete. It looks great, it plays great and most of all, it’s long as hell. I estimate the time to be comparible to the first one but we’ll see how people go before I start posting times this time.

Here are a few pics for you to mull over too, one of Average Avenue and the other is how the underside looks. Pretty cool!

Adventure Multiplex has always been a series (can I call it that yet?) that takes a while to build. At least it was on the first one. After taking weeks to final test all the entries from people who aren’t always map makers, there are usually lots of bugs that slip through. If I said “Yep your entry is good” and then I found a bug afterwards, then I fix it myself. If you didn’t know, working on other peoples redstone and mechanics is hell. Everyone has a different way of doing the same thing and while I am pretty proficient in redstone, spawners and a host of other special effects, some of the stuff in the Multiplex 2 are the likes I haven’t seen before. So it’s been a lot of learning, and a lot of fixing. Recently however all the entries got into state in which they are as bug free as I think they will be and I was finally able to get onto terraforming.

I’ve never done terraforming before.

More learning.

Not only that, but there has been a lot of other things going on in real life that have slowed things down. As you most already know, map making isn’t a job, I make hardly any money on it, so when push comes to shove in real life, real life will always win. Slowly but surely I have been finding some time to get it done though.

Current ETA is by the end of the month… but I did say that last month. At least know it will be out at some point, the project isn’t scrapped and you should definitley be looking forward to it.

In the mean time, why not watch one of the excellent Eronev 2 let’s plays that have been popping up recently?

Adventure Multiplex was created with the help of over 80 builders. This time, I’m hoping for over 100! Tell your friends, get everyone involved. I want it to be HUGE. This one will be a little different than the first one, all details including guidelines, build size and restrictions will be announced June 14th. (still not finalised yet) Start thinking of an idea, because I want your entry!

Do you not know what the adventure multiplex is? Last year, I tasked my youtube channel to make a 20x20x20 adventure encounter. It resulted in over 80 submissions by different people and created the longest map ever made. It was quite awesome. I’d like to facilitate making a new one. The rules will be slightly different this time, there will still be a size restriction, but all that and more will be announced on June 14th, so keep an eye out for that 🙂

This is the trailer for the original (and also one of my favorite trailers that I’ve ever made) You can also download the map right here on jigarbov.net.
