The Weekly Catchup: Week 4

 So Yes.
Welcome to The Weekly Catchup: W4 I guess you can call it.
As you can see, i've put some pictures out to the side.
Some time ago I referenced making a fighting Arena for my Minecraft Server, well that is now completed!
Lets get into it.

Minecraft Stuff:
So, yeah...
pretty generic, I told you about the fighting arena, with three pictures out to the side, taken before "recent refurbs" were made to most of them.
So more good news for that, it really is used for mini-duels. But that's where I talk about my two Darwin12Videos things. Lets begin on that.

Darwin12Videos MC Server:
Beginning April 4th (that's today), I was supposed to begin whitelist requests for my MC server.
Unfortunately, we haven't exactly "locked in" any Dar-Games links between this and this, meaning we still have yet to determine if the server is going to be a real, physical and "good"
idea. Considerably, people seem to like the idea, me and my friend have been considering such a thing for the server to be online by May. If things would change, I'd post, but if things didn't change, you may see it referenced in the Weekly Catchups in the future.
We have called the small project name DCMCServer. Which stands for Darwin12 Co. Minecraft Server.
Once again, we're in a position prior to any "began" construction on the server in particular.
Should you be interested in "certain server stuff", you can check out the official new blog for the DCMC Server at www.DCMCServer.blogspot.com or click here.

Lets get the next thing.

Darwin12Videos New "MC reality" PROJECT:
So, I did tell you I love the Hunger Games.
I didn't think it would catch the best of me, but soon people will be able to volunteer for a new reality "survival" project we call "The Ender Games".
The project originated from the generic idea of a place, for example our MC Village shown to the right/above. But it actually originated in a "First run" with our "whitelisted" members.
The Ender Games project would include possibly 4 people + Darwin12 (5 open spots on the server), or in our case if the DCMCServer for more spots. But lets say we have 4 people.
The way we did our first run with gogo505 (stop5051 on MC), 1wardude (same on MC), and Captevyo (_Captevyo_ on MC) only included three people, plus me filming. The event began with me spreading mysterious "chests" across the map in random places, in this case, the first run was held in a Forest Biome and there were no "exact" boundaries set at the time so that set the players off to try and find chests with weapons and food inside of them. Mostly, there wasn't very much food, so as part of the aspects of surviving, you had to hunt the food. But Creepers, Zombie Pigmen, Enderman (especially Enderman), Skeletons, and so many more mobs would come out at night and spoil your chances of winning the games.
When the game begins, the 10 minute, day cycle in Minecraft determines a huge thing. If everyone was spread out with no boundries, mostly they "stumbled" upon each other rarely, it only killed one person one time, but we gave our players two lives to make it more fair. But Creepers, Endermen and other mobs had claimed the amount of kills.
It's Minecraft + Hunger Games + Survival in Boundries. It's like "Secret Society" I guess.
The last surviving person would be the "Ender" or the winner, who would receive not only a chest-full of 64 Set Diamonds, but bragging rights and more.
That project will get farther in depth as time continues.

Anyway, lets see what we have left.

Oh yeah, just for the fun of it, back in the day when only me, Capt and Cheeseheadfoamy were the only residents of our server, we had created a super, super awesome Wipeout Course. Now i'm not saying I'm doing a reality "MineOut" Project type thing, but it's an interesting idea.
Just to put on the board.
Final stuff...

inDev R.S.A H3 Testing Activation:
So last week, Darwin12 created a shirt about the "indev" of R.S.A H3, saying you had to pay to get general "testing" access, which would be spent toward R.S.A ads, paying the developers, and more motivation to the community of R.S.A in terms of a new home.
Well that testing shirt is being activated soon, Dar-Games hasn't confirmed it will be when they begin the 1.3 update for inDev, or after it, but they say...
"We will begin the inDev shirt and continue it till 2.3 inDev, which in our case is 1.3 Alpha."
- Dar-Games Management
So does this mean 10 updates are valid for the shirt; will it go active when 1.3 begins it's updates?
We'll have to see in the future.
Dar-Games also confirmed that...
"Darwin12 is the base developer of 1.3 inDev, because most of the "interface" work needs to be refreshed and updated to fit the new abilities given in LUA and such... starting with a new introGUI, a functionality of "seasons"/conditional GUI, including what season, what month, all valid and good stuff, if there are meteor showers, etc... probably will nail the 1.3 interface for GUI "quests" at R.S.A H3 as well."
- R.S.A H3 Dev_Notes (ent.4)
So it sounds like 1.3 is going to be a GUI update with all that stuff, and a quest update? Hm, interesting... I posted something like that I'll have to write part two for...
so yeah.

Ending...
I guess that's all you get for Weekly Catchup 4.
Bye.
