| Catalina Catacombs Minecraft level by Mymop, atvelonis |
Authors: Mymop, atvelonis Description: This is supposed to be a crypt, tomb, call it what you like. All the screenshots were taken with night vision because there is no lighting. After all, why would a crypt have lights? It started out after I visited the Kokomo Temple, and I felt bad because I'd made something for Kokomo but not for Catalina, my other cat. It was inspired by the ancient Nordic burial crypts in Skyrim, and at first I wanted it to be almost exactly the same as those, but later I decided to use sandstone as well as stone brick, so that it wouldn't be plain grey. It's also built to look like it's been abandoned for a while, so you will occasionally see collapsed pillars, cave-ins, etc. There are also "bodies" in the chests, which are supposed to be coffins. The bodies are bones, rotten flesh, and raw porkchops arranged to resemble the shape of a corpse. Also, when I started it, I wanted to build it by myself, but then atvelonis saw me building it and wanted to help out, so I let him. And I'm glad I did, because he gave me lots of cool ideas for it. Feel free to explore it, it's pretty big. Since there is no lighting, I recommend you use /letmesee for the night vision effect. Spoiler: This is the entrance hall. Spoiler: A collapsed pillar. Spoiler: A cave-in. Spoiler: Another cave-in. Spoiler: The library. Spoiler: One of my favorite rooms. Spoiler: A hallway and some stairs leading to other halls. Spoiler: The great hall. It's larger than the entrance hall. It was atvelonis' idea. Spoiler: Another view of the great hall, and one of the hallways leading to it. Spoiler: Looking at the great hall from one of the staircases that leads to it. Spoiler: One of the rooms with some coffins in it. Spoiler: Another coffin room, with the only window in the entire crypt. Spoiler: Yet another burial room. Spoiler: I wanted to have a room that was larger and fancier than all the others. This is it.

This is cool. You definitely nailed the Skyrim feel. Especially from the outside, and in some of the ruined rooms. I do think it was a bit empty though, you could've at least had one draugr zombie wandering around. I'm pretty sure I explored everything. Spoiler:  COMING SOON: A giant meteor. Please. Give me +karma. Give me +karma. | |

Yes I closed the doors. How many secret rooms are there exactly, or is that a... secret? I did some /ascend and /descend to see various inaccessible parts like where a stream of water comes from, but there was nothing important back there. COMING SOON: A giant meteor. Please. Give me +karma. Give me +karma. | |

I won't tell you exactly how many there are, but there are a few. And they aren't all in the same place. Spoiler: | |

10/10 Masterpiece This is really awesome. Has anyone done anything like this before? I imagine a good amount of effort had to be put into this, and it must not have been easy to make, with a layout that can be confusing in places because halls connect to each other in a non-linear fashion. Good concept, good design, good implementation. Yaya said that it's a little too empty, and there were a couple rooms that you could put stuff in, but overall I was really impressed. The game of finding secret passages, although not too difficult (with the exception of 1 room), was really fun, and I think that added to an already good build was what brought it over the top for me. Adding to the challenge was the non-linear layout of the left side, and making sure that you don't accidentally back track into an area you already explored, or get lost. +1 A+ 10/10 I am pretty confident I found all of the secret entrances, or at least most common type. If you had a secret entrance though some other method, I did not find it. There was a good opportunity to have a hidden entrance in the anvil room, and I was kind of disappointed that you didn't think of it or do it. Anyways discoveries are as follows: Spoiler:  spooky secret | |

I didn't actually build this with a clear layout in mind; I mostly made it up as I went along. I like building things that way. It's way more fun, and sometimes more of a challenge, than building knowing exactly where you're going to put every block.

I admit, I really failed on the wiring for that room. Spoiler: | |
