TheDFHome: The Home of the Future [Part 2]

I promised this post quite a while back, and as promised: here it is.

TheDFHome was the name given to an upcoming home-based project within ROBLOX and Minecraft [both with different versions]. But mostly: known for it's ROBLOX Version.

TheDFHome is a goal that Darwin12 has given himself, and the developers at Dar-Games to create in a personal build server, the goal to build a home of the future, for himself, his friends, and guests.

This "Home of the Future" as Darwin defines it would consist of lighting systems, multiple-room setups, chrome and white/grey design schemes and his personal favorite: glass.

Combined, an astounding interior and exterior design would be established... however, what about the interior's look?

Imagine this: a Grey and Glass door. You walk into a beautiful foyer, with glass stairways, white walls, and grey outlines around doors, you can go three ways to multiple rooms.
The multiple rooms would be bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms, and more


TheDFHome would be two floors, having offices upstairs, bedrooms upstairs and downstairs, a foyer, living room, and kitchen with a "levels" known within other projects by Darwin12.
This project, while not being started yet: would be a home, of the future.


Now that we have the interior, exterior, details, everything like that, the only thing left is: what else makes it a "Home of the Future"?


Part Three will feature details about what makes the house so much more different, complex and amazing, than any other house, ever built on ROBLOX.
Part Three coming tomorrow.

DarCity's Private Server Version may be Public to you Soon!

What a shocker!
1.3 has a new update called "Adventure Mode" that myself and _Captevyo_ are looking into as a potential way to allow people to publicly enter our vanilla server, but limit them to what they can, and can't do.
This could allow our whitelist to be closed, and allow members everywhere to connect to our small 5 person server to look around at what we're making, and what we're doing.
More updates soon.
I updated the private server version to 12w26a.

100th Post... Wow.

Wow.
So we have 100 posts.
2800-ish Page-Views Total; and we're still going.
I know I hit the rough in blog posts last month. [and quite a bit this month]
But it's summer for me now, so as a result. That means more posts. And I will begin doing snapshots for games, projects and more.
Especially all that stuff.

Expect Updates Regarding:
DCMCServer [inDev; Week 12-4]
R.S.A H2 [Hiatus; Week 12-16]
and more.

Now also. Since i'm Here. I might as well settle some recent questions.
Lots of people have noticed I haven't posted MANY ROBLOX Games in quite sometime.
Yes. It's true, but am I working on anything...
Yes. Just not on ROBLOX.
I'm not announcing that i'm leaving: i'm just saying I need a break.
Summer is a great time for me to continue working on DCMCServer Especially. But in terms for ROBLOX, I really have no plans for huge projects.
By which I mean to say that i'm planning a huge inactivity point between here - and there -.
Not as lengthy, it's just that point has began, it isn't that I don't log on, it's that i'm busy working on projects: making movies, making music, doing everything.

Quite an irk some times.
[btw: new tag for Snapshot]

I'm working on some pretty insane tracks for "Trapped in the Darkness" some of my first regarding an involvement of possible lyrical parts.
Meaning: NO MORE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC ENTIRELY :D
That means, I'll probably need vocalists, but i'll work on that later.

Just a bit of a hint and details on Darwin12Video projects [publication coming soon].
But i'm sure i've made it clear what projects i've been working on, what i'm editing and especially my huge hiatus on "The Space Cruiser" which has moved it all the way to January 1st, 2013 or later.
Unfortunate...
But "Trapped in the Darkness" will release this summer, hopefully in between July 14th -- August 12th.
If it isn't released in-between those two points, you can expect an even longer wait.... [sorry :0]
LOL.
So that's my 100th post.
It's got a lot of stuff in it if you ask me.

It's the equivalent to a Weekly Catchup: which is why I tagged it under "The Weekly Catchup" as well.
I'm also considering moving this blog to another client other than blogger: but for now i'm good.
- Darwin12

So WAIT. I got that wrong?

lol. So it appears, that I in-fact didn't calculate the exact amount of posts properly.
This is actually your OFFICIAL 99th post.
lol.
Tomorrow. I will post a special 100th post.
:D
Nothing today though.
- Darwin12

99 Posts and DCMCStuff

**As Seen on DCMCServer.

So yeah.
This is and isn't good.
So I received news.
Dat our good friend FlyingNinjaCake...
Is adding RAM and Visual Updates to his computer. Which in the mean time, we cannot work on the DCMCServer as a result.
The good news however is that we will be able to begin production for the project to be completely done (by which we hope) by around July.
So there goes our May release...
Unfortunately.
lol.
More updates soon.

So yeah.
Set aside that ---extended edition of the post---
This is my 99th post.
As a result, I'm celebrating, as a result of this being my most active (in a short time and overall) blog for views, post total and more.
Especially Labels, I started liking Labels and Tags...
So yeah.
Thanks again.
100th post will be up soon too.

TheDFHome. The Home of the Future. [Part 1]

This is the beginning of a new Series introducing you to the new project known as PROJECT:TDFH. Or as you know it as: TheDFHome.
For those of you who haven't gotten caught up on abbreviations within abbreviations.
TheDFHome stands for...
The
Dar-Games/Darwin12
Futuristic
Home
So that should recap you and help you A TON.
LOL.
TheDFHome is literally a project that I envisioned for the real world, but with nowhere better to model it than on ROBLOX, and the cost being: well. Absolutely free and so I don't go spend 3 million dollars on technologies I don't believe are even technically capable in a 2012-staged-world I guess this was better to go with.
Besides that. Enough about reality. What is TheDFHome?
Well, you understand it's a futuristic based home.
This is turning into my mansion technically, so a great reason to build it: To show off my building skills.
Another reason: Great Roleplay place.
Another, another reason: I would have a mansion to live in that (well) I made.
ANOTHER REASON WITHIN A REASON WITHIN A REASON: It would be FUN.
This is likely to be my most advanced project of ALL time on ROBLOX.
When I set out to create this, i'm serious when I mean this may be the project that has a hint of reality in it, has no exact story, but a great envision-ment.
It wouldn't be the the equivalent to the project by me and Jacobthescientist you know as "The Darwin Inn" but it would rather be more of a self created "beach mansion" that I could technically live in, control and stay at a good portion of my time on ROBLOX to relax, have meetings, talk with people.
It's basically going to be the main HQ for everything me.
When shall the project begin?
Now.
[Part 2 will be featured tomorrow. Giving "blueprint and design" details for the project.]
Thanks.

Inactivity Lately...

Sorry, i've been very busy.
I'll be back to posting by tomorrow. (hopefully) :D

The Weekly Catchup: Week 5

Hello.
Welcome my Friends to the Weekly Catchup: Week 5.
This time, I'll be covering site news, Trapped in the Darkness, and the upcoming project titled "Herobrine" as well as new information on the Book Series for "Trapped in the Darkness".
Sorry that I was a bit late to post this, I was busy yesterday. So hopefully this will be the ONLY "Thursday" Weekly Catchup...
or WAIT.
TODAY'S FRIDAY!??
OMG.
It's no longer Thursday?
OMG. Fryday?
No, just Friday.
Okay... I see now.
Lets get into it.

Site News:
So http://www.darwin12co.blogspot.com/ - you have been reading it if you are reading it now.
If you are a first-timer we welcome you.
But we're also "supposed" to get a new design look...
will we?
Not anytime soon.
I will be creating a new site look, that could possibly be a site design of epicness...
lol, other than that. Thanks for 2k PageViews my friends.
It means a whole lot to me.

That's it for Site News.

Trapped in the Darkness: Production:
Current levels of production are high for Darwin12Videos, as a result of over 9 different projects going on ranging between short-films, to Series and so on. From times of 20 seconds to up to 9 minutes at a time.
The Trapped in the Darkness Project Production is a new test for our editors however as a result of numerous advancements in our abilities to work with other production companies.
One of the many and most recognizable productionthat we have worked/are working with are Johanskruger, not really a production company but he also prefers to go under "JohanFilmz" as well. We haven't verified an official name however.
Another one that we are working on a (not so very long) short film (about 1 minute at most) with WildRiderProductions.
The two projects i'm sure of at this point is Trapped in the Darkness and Herobrine.
But i'm here to talabout Trapped in the Darkness Production.
Production work has began as of today (Actually Tuesday + Wednesday) and yeah...

lol. I think that's it for now?
No, moving on.

Herobrine: Production:Wow, lots of Darwin12Video talk.
So yeah, we began working on the Herobrine set from what i've heard. Captevyo, Darwin12, and some other developers are making a simple town at this point which will be the roll point of the film series.
More stuff....

Trapped in the Darkness: Book Series:
Book 1?
Yes.
When?
August at least.
So here we are again my friends.
Such a pleasure,
anyway.
The long awaited TitD Project is in production, but who says the book series won't be coming out anytime later or beforehand?
The first chapter of the book is going into a slam-process, by Darwin12 (me :D) the only writer who claims "You'll be excited."
But more exciting news in the world of TitD Releases comes in the next paragraph or so.

Trapped in the Darkness: First Poster?
You are probably all aware of my abilities for graphic designs and catchy themes.
A new twist will bring the Trapped in the Darkness Poster to look less like your average poster.
The poster: along with 3 others for Herobrine, The Space Cruiser: Part 1, and (of course) The Meet the Series we began with Jacobthescientist, will be hitting the streets of R.S.A. H2 (v3) soon! To get the three projects popular in advance. The three posters will be up for grabs to be placed in places all over ROBLOXia.
The first poster: already under work is titled (of course) you know it already (the title).
But then our special quote...
"They are coming for you, be ready, prepare, expect them."
The poster releases sometime in the next month or so, so keep your eyes opened.

DarwinMusic is Opened:
So, about three weeks ago. We (executives) meaning me, Captevyo and Cheeseheadfoamy had been siked about the possibility of exclusive music for our projects.
Three weeks ago, we "secretly" opened DarwinMusic with the artists:
Darwin12
Captevyo
RomanNumbers
and hopefully more in the future.

We expect great things from it.

That's about it.
Also, Happy Friday the 13th.
Enjoy your day/night.
This concludes

Hi. This is Captevyo, posting about my 5 TIPS of how to survive in Minecraft.
Tip 1: Craft a sword first so you can kill mobs
Tip 2: Dont dig straight down or lava or other deadly things could hurt you
Tip 3: when finding a material underground dig 2 blocks around it and you might find more of it
Tip 4: Keep a furnace and crafting table in inventory always just in case you need to cook or make something
Tip 5: when making a home insert a pressure plate so it automaticlyopens and shuts the door just in case a mob could chase you to your house

Machinimas in Minecraft!

Anyway, hey guys.
Just posting a post (lol) saying/telling you about Machinima updates within Minecraft!
Yes, I am making Minecraft Machinima stuff.
I'll start making WEEKLY Video updates, or maybe even daily.
Also- good news: The Domain for the Dar-Games Blog will be CHANGING March 1st.
This announcement is on the banner of the website!
The website will be down March 1st for about an hour while we change the domain to a new one we've reserved under the name:
http://www.darwin12co.blogspot.com/
I will make a final announcement on the 23rd about it.

29 OVER 1000!!!!!

Yes.
YES.
YESSSS!
*Refreshes*
29 OVER 1000!
Yes. REALLY.
I'm glad to congratulate myself (and some of the other writers)...
...
That would be uh..
I think just me.
and Captevyo.
But he hasn't posted in awhile...
Hm.
Yes.
So as I post this, I have recognized my substancial jump from 28 over 1000 (1028) to 29 over 1000.

But the real big deal is 1000 visits.
Thats a new record for me!
Lets keep it up, and more posts will be on the way :D

MINECRAFT: DarCity V.2 REANNOUNCED!

LOL.
How many times have I reannounced Version two of DarCity?
I think twice.
Anyway.
I cannot show you pictures yet because I haven't taken any really.
But I'm just glad to finally blow the entire "cleared, redoing" thing out of the water.
But despite that, i've decided to open a super EPIC new Widget on the website!
This new widget will bring you to a website that is made for that specific project you click on.
You'll understand what I mean when it's released. (That's liek nao)
lol.

Important Announcement: Changing URLs

I'd like to inform everyone of some very important news.
I have decided to change the Dar-Games Blog into the Darwin12 Co/Darwin12 World Blog, so that means more posts, more updates, more everything.
Therefore, I'd like to inform you that the URL/Site address will be changing.
I have a quick FAQ, if you want to just know when it will be changing, go to QUESTION 6.
1.
Q: When do you expect this change to occur?
A: The Last Week of January, the site will be down for maintenance for that entire week, when it comes back up, there will be a countdown clock telling you the official release of the blog's new look and address.
2.
Q: Will there be a redirection to the page?
A: When the page does go online on the new address, this address will have a redirection, we will reserve the site address till so much as we've decided the redirection is now useless.
3.
Q: Will the blog be named differently?
A: Yes, but we'll still name it the Dar-Games Blog.
4.
Q: Do you have plans to decide not to change the address or title?
A: Should that happen the address would remain the same as well as the title, but we're still going to incorporate all the companies in it.
5.
Q: What about Darwin Speaks or the 'Word of Darwin' Blog?
A: Well, that blog could be just unused, it appears it isn't very useful at this point.
6.
Q: What would be the new web address?
A: The web address will be confirmed in a future post before the beginning of 2012.

Thanks.
More updates soon!
:D
P.S: The new label is called "PROJECT:CHANGE" that is what it will be under from now on.

INTRODUCING: The Edge

I'll try to make this short.
Because that's the only way I can make it.
Anyway, lets just get to it.
The Edge is a new region in DarCity.
Unfortunatly, you won't be able to see it until I get back from my "vacation".
Hopefully that is around Winter Break.
But that's the information.
Set aside other features such as:
It hasn't been explored.
Unexpected 'features' (creepers, lots of monsters, unexpected villages, lol. But that's Minecraft as a whole 0_0)
And Lots more! (Well of COURSE, THE ENTIRE MAP IS INFINITE!)
lol.
That's about it.
Expect tons of updates soon.
Plus the upcoming Minecraft 2012 Darwin12 Videos video thingy (more details soon).
That's about it.
:D

INTRODUCING: The Minecraft DarCity Development Team

Hello.
Anyway.
It's been awhile.
I'm still out of town.
I'll be back a little for winter break after next week.
But I'll start here by telling you news.
It's official here that the DarCity Development Team has been formed.
We have 4 members in on it.
One of them are new to Dar-Games, and will be also working for Darwin12 Videos.
Speaking of Darwin12 Videos, I will speak lots about Darwin12 Videos on here.
Plus- my new blog could be usable, since I have two blogs opened already.
I already have another 'INTRODUCING' post on the way too, it's about 'The Edge'.
I'll talk about several things today.
I'll just start with a small table of contents :D.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(Use the nice colors on the table of contents to find each subject in the post! :D)

1. DarCity Development Team Introduction
2. Meeting the new DarCity Dev. Team.
3. Darwin12 Videos and Dar-Games working together?
4. The Edge Introduction
5. Yeah. About The End for DarCity?

1. DarCity Development Team Introduction

Yay.

Here is your #1.

Okay, I'll just start with the introduction, bottom line.

The DarCity Dev. Team is the team of head creators for the game, not exactly developers, but builders for the game, that also include pieces of the testing. Nothing more than that.

2. Meeting the New DarCity Dev. Team

Yesh.

Anyway, I'm not going anywhere in depth when I basically am saying we only have 4 people on the team.

These 4 being:
Darwin12

Cheeseheadfoamy

(To be Announced)

and Captevyo.

That's about it.

3. Darwin12 Videos and Dar-Games working together??

The answer is yes. Just yes.
We are working with them, for our new Darwin12 Videos Minecraft 2012 Series.
You'll probably hear more about this relationship in future posts (certain ones could be coming soon, or more liek tomorrow). lol.

4. The Edge Introduction
Making this quick, and without spoilers, lol. This is a nice spoiler you've got here.

The Edge is a new region of DarCity. I will explain more about it in the "Introducing: The Edge" post coming soon.

5. Yeah, about The End for DarCity?
Okay, so about The End.
The final "end level" for DarCity is going to remain opened. However, we may 'edit it' a bit...
lol.
that's about it.
Now....
This is the end.
Thank you for reading!

MINECRAFT: DarCity's Nether?

 Welcome!
Hello to all.
Sorry for my inactivity lately.
Anyway, I must advise you that I am going to open a new blog!
Yes. This blog will be mostly about Dar-Games, Darwin12 Videos, all that stuff.
Also, did I forget to mention I updated the "Our History" page.
A new entry:
"In Early December 2011, Darwin12 Videos started working with DarGames."
You can find that on the Our History page.
Due to the growing success of this blog, I will also begin on that other blog with all Darwin12 stuff.
Updates with ROLL, R.S.A stuff, all that.
Plus Darwin12 Videos.
Development info of DarCity will remain on here. However on that blog, there will be mention all the time for that as well.
Now, I have yet to debate if I wish to make the other blog just on this one, and use those posts on this one.
But yeah.
Lets get to the topic.
Anyway, our survival im DarCity (Gamemode 1 is the mode we use) is doing us well, we actually had enough obsidian and some nice other 'useful' materials to create a portal to the nether.
Me and Captevyo we're both connected again, our other friends weren't online.
Anyway, speaking of that, some Darwin12 Videos members are also in DarGames, i'll probably mention them on the other blog.
Look tomorrow, I may have the new blog up.
Anywayyyyyyy.
Yes.


A Nice Ghast, and me.



Capt is on fire. Literally.




My attempts to kill the ghast. It likes to troll my portal I made. So I'll try to get rid of it.

 Uh...
So yeah.
That's self-explanitory.
More updates of the Exploration of the Nether and DarCity's normal dimension will be kept track of.
Speaking of which, the new 'Minecraft' tab is finally being written, expect it out later this month, or at the latest at the beginning of 2012.
Hm.
So yeah.
Bye.
