Yea and also you will discover what went wrong with the labs on Aurora, find out in a dramatic twist that the SOF (Special Operations Fleet) ship UTD Noctuam (owl in Latin) is actually there to clean the mess by blowing up the station and have to fight on two fronts in order to save your butt and pretty much everyone who's still alive ... oh and did I mention there is a massage about a classy alien invasion ?
Here are a few pictures of some areas I've done (Yea it has a bit of horror feeling so brightness on moody, first time it's quite dark but later your eyes get used to it):
The texture pack is a modified DarkMatter pack (32x32 if I recall correctly) which is a ME inspired texture pack, it doesn't look much like ME though and has definitely a unique feeling to it.
I do plan to put attention to the look of the map to make it immersive (As far as MC can get). In terms of gameplay I plan to have standard mob fighting, some well masked jumping puzzles (I don't like them being too obvious and instead want them to blend into the environment) as well as a few standard puzzles. I plan to add some redstone stuff and as I don't trust my talent I would probably ask people here or on the MC forums to help out. Stuff like a maze through the wrecked station decks towards a point for example - thing to vary gameplay and yet keep it immersive.
As I start working on it again it looks more and more big and I really need help from you guys to complete this. If we manage to get it right we can also use it to promote our mod, introduce a canon story for a change and attract attention to the mod !
