I’m back! The crowd of furious mobsters, who expelled me from the city of Minecraft last week due to questionable farming deals, has admitted defeat. They simply got bored, and now no one is chasing me anymore. However, the lesson here is that everything can be traded for potatoes if they are made from beige blocks. In any case, I had to return; a great responsibility rests on my shoulders! Or should I say: “On my wings”! I invite you to listen to the map designers from Noxcrew, who will share details about this week’s free map available for both Bedrock and Java!
“If you’ve never heard of Terra Swoop Force before, I have an intriguing tale for you! There’s a scientific organization called Geo Descent Labs that conducts experiments to uncover the mysteries of what lies at the Earth’s core. Thirty years ago, they dispatched a two-person team down a drilling shaft towards the center of the Earth. However, once they reached their destination, communication with the surface was lost, and there has been no word from them since. Now, you are part of this laboratory. You will be equipped with wings and sent on a mission to
discover the fate of the missing team,” said Joe Arsenault.
At last, I can flex my scientific skills and prove once and for all that I look fantastic in lab coats. The trick is to wear multiple coats at once. If one creates the image of an intelligent person, then four will obviously amplify that effect fourfold. Look! Essentially, I’m already a doctor.
“Initially, we were supposed to complete the project in just one day during a live session. However, as we progressed with the construction, we got ahead of ourselves and started adding more and more details. Eventually, we decided not to rush and abandoned the idea of finishing it in a single day. In the end, working on the map took eight months.
In the past, there was only a levitation potion in Minecraft, and we utilized this exciting mechanic to create a glider map. However, with the introduction of elytra, the ability to fly freely at high speeds inspired us to pursue something beyond just a glider map,” said Stafan Panic.
This is precisely the kind of ambition I aspire to achieve someday. However, that day is not today, as I’m currently preoccupied with flying! I’ve managed to take to the skies and confirm that all walls are safe for collisions. Please await my report, as the findings are inconclusive. Joe, could you enlighten us about the design process? This information would be incredibly beneficial for my conclusions, given that these walls seem intentionally placed in my path.
“When our team begins the process of creating a map, one of the initial steps we take is to construct a scaled model of the world. This helps us understand how different areas will interact with the player. At this stage, we also assess whether we have appropriate sightlines, if the dimensions are correct, and if we can fit everything we envision. The entire team gets involved—not just designers, but also mechanics specialists, sound engineers, musicians, writers, as well as social and media marketers. We all come together and dive into the world of Minecraft Bedrock to experience the map’s usability,” — Joe Arsenault.
