Pass the Time

Postby EnvizionRev » Fri Jul 20, 2012 5:23 am

Welcome to the Pass the Time thread waiting on .50 to be released! We're all very excited for the new features coming, it'll totally change how we view, play, and explore this game. So instead of killing over from anxiety from the wait, and no more build contests as a creative outlet, we need a new one. So this thread is dedicated to showing off your best/random creations. It does not have to be just a build project, or a town, it can be anything you can do in or for this game. You can show off your mod, a tutorial, your creative story telling, anything. Let's keep the community involved in something until the update is released, without the pressure of deadlines or the restriction of themes. :) Show us what you've got, share ideas, and tell us what you're looking forward to most in the next update, and what you're gonna build first. ;)

So this is how we're going to do it. You can post up to 3 pictures of your creations. If you have more you'd like to show, and haven't already, I encourage you to make a new thread in the Screen & Tips and link it here, along with your 3 pictures. If you're a mod maker, post pictures of your mod, show it off. :) Then link it to your thread in the Mods forum. Like helping out new players, post your tutorial here and link your thread from the Videos forum. This is the community intersection until the update releases. Have fun everybody!

Here's my showcase:

For my first "creation" I'd have to bring up my forum game: Dungeon Crawler. This game was started by Sharpscope (a former forumgoer who passed the GM-ship into me) to answer the question "what is an average day for a Towns hero like?". You take on the role of a hero exploring the dungeon in Towns-like world (it's fairly closely based on the game, but with reasonable inclusions such as different kinds of magic, more enemies and a more fulfilled backstory). Imagine an RPG version of Towns and you have a good idea of what it's like.

If you're interested, head over to the Off Topic thread and check it out. You can start your own character and while away the wait for 0.50 by slaying all dungeon-dwellers foolish enough to cross your path, or just watch and laugh at the hilarious storyline unfolding.
What's that you're eating? A nice, juicy apple? You weren't supposed to eat that you fool, you were supposed to make it into a pie! - last words recorded words of Francis D'Avre before he went looking for snowcherries, but found a hungry Yeti instead.

It may not be mine but for anyone who watched Sips playing the game this is a must see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HN4rCGd8Ml0
Now im not the greatest builder ever and im certainly no mod maker, but i am a writer of sorts so if you'll have it here is a story about towns.
yes it is a wall of text.

(PSST its pronounced Bells-boit i believe ;D you'll understand later.)

Now gather round the campfire all while I spin ye' a tale.

This is the story of a man named Belzebuit. Yes a strange name but regardless of his name he shall live on in legend and myth for his deeds. See there once was this town with no name the town flourished with many cows and meat pies for everyone but the town knew nothing of what lay just over the river and beyond the hills.

Shortly after constructing a fine tavern, The Meat Pie they had called it, high atop the mountain pass where the barkeep could see for miles. When a man arrived in the middle of the night and shadowed in darkness, the man seated himself at the bar and threw some gold pieces onto the counter, the barkeep brought the man a pie and some ale and took the coins from him.

"I need a room as well" the hooded man said to the barkeep in between chunks of pie.
" Oh, planin on stayin' in town for awhile eh? Well i aughta tell you there's not much doin here except farming, and you don't look like the farmin' type to me mister." the Barkeep replied as he cleaned a glass with a wet rag.

"There's more to do here than you know."

"If you say so mister. These coins here are enough to cover the food and the room." the barkeep finished just as the guard Captain Thomas came into the tavern and leaned his large spear against the back wall and removed his helmet as he came in. "Its a nice night out Stan" he called to the barkeep as he walked towards the bar.
Thomas placed his helmet down on the bar and sat next to the hooded man still munching away on his pie.

"Oh don't I know it, on a night like this you can look down into the valley and see the whole town illuminated by the moon." Stan replied as he placed down a pie and ale in front of Thomas already knowing what the Captain would want.

The Captain set into his pie with the attitude of a man after a long day's work. After a few bites the Captain took notice of the hooded man next to him. Making sure he had no pie on his face, he turned to the man " Well hello there, I don't believe we've met before, I'm the captain of the guard Thomas." and he stuck out his hand in the normal manner.
The Hooded man turned towards him slightly and replied " Belzebuit" then went back to eating his pie.
"Well, uh. Nice to meet you Belzebuit! Please enjoy your stay in our town!" the slightly miffed Captain went back to eating his pie when, off in the distance a bell rung out twice then stopped. Quickly rising to his feet and throwing on his helmet Thomas hurried out the door grabbing his spear as he ran past.

And that's where I'll end the story for now, i'll try and add to this every day until the new patch comes out, but i might miss a few here and there just because of real life stuff. so i can't exactly post a picture about a story ... well i could if i had any kind of artistic skill...

Here's an idea for you to try out in your .50 town. Where else can you offer prayers and sacrificies to the Towns gods Ben and Xavi? :)
