General
Gameplay
In the map The Story, the player will find themselves searching through a maze in a library with references to real-life books and other pieces throughout the maze, the player will also have to parkour their way through parts of the maze, with a maze later on that requires them to complete a puzzle like a button button one, having to click a set of buttons to progress into a final parkour room.
Aesthetics
The Story opens with a library-themed room progressing through unexpected rooms that the user would not usually encounter within a library, the blocks used throughout this map are quite basic but they radiate a casual vibe on the player's adventure to find the book.
Challenges
The Story is featured in three challenges: 2015 Assortment, TULIP, and Hexa.
Origin
Original article written by Zatharel
Upon getting green, magicdem0n11 immediately started working on a map, and with the help of friends (thefattestpig, rickyboy320, Bananbulle) it was going pretty fast. I believe I only provided materials back then, I didn't help much with the map itself.
Originally, the map was intended to have two parts. The first part is the one that is currently available to play in FFA, while the other was intended to be a followup where the player goes through the story itself. There were lots of versions of this second part but really none of them worked out.
The most notable version was the one where the player had joined a gang and was being chased by the cops for robbing a house. After I started working on the map, we decided to scrap that part since there was really no storyline involved there. We removed most of the things built for part 2, and the ones we didn't remove we left for another day.
I mostly only did the thinking and the fixes for issues, while magic made the map itself. In the end, I think we did a good job with the map. For information purposes, this was magic's first map and my third map. The map is currently rated Green (2 points) and is located in the Mixed Mazes section of the FFA ship. We have talked about a sequel being created from the scraps of part 2, but we still haven't decided anything.
Trivia
- The Story was going to have a sequel based around the book itself found at the end of the map as if you're in the story yourself.
- Around 90% of the map was made by magicdem0n11, Zatharel just helped finish it up and balanced the map.
