BounceSMP 2 Dev Log 7/20/2023
🕑 Added 2023-07-20 23:43:42 +0000 UTCAnother few weeks have passed. Time for an update!
These past few weeks have been mostly dedicated to projects outside of the Bounce 2 development. I finished up an update for the Public Pack which brought much needed fixes and updated a few mods. I know I ran into some issues with Sodium there, but everything seems to be in a good state now.
Then I worked on an update to the Content Creator server. This update was very experimental and is not something I plan on pushing to the public pack. Many of the mods I added with either just some extra content for the creators to enjoy or mods I wanted to test for Bounce 2.
Mods like Tinkers and Ad Astra were implemented on the server to get an idea for how players would use them and enjoy them. However I don't feel like they were properly implemented enough for me to want to add them to the public pack. For now they are just tests!
Already its been exciting seeing creators build bases on the moon and other planets. I think having that option would be a lot of fun and id love to expand on the idea of moon bases in Bounce 2. Tinkers is a mod I had been contemplating for the BSMP2's Blacksmith kit. Allowing the Blacksmith to have that free reign to forge custom tools for players on the server would be very fun, however Tinkers is a bit unruly and can get OP very fast. So Ill need to tinker with the mod to be in a place where it feels well balanced for a job to have exclusive access to.
With the content creator server update done, its back to Bounce 2 Development. As mentioned before, Im focusing on the jobs and Races first. My Current plan is 10 Jobs and 10 Races (Twice as much as Bounce 1!) with the original jobs and races receiving a major overhaul. I also would like to make the jobs more progressive. You start out with some base tools and products of the job, but as you fulfill quests, you can unlock more skills, tools, and products. And lastly, my plan is to allow players to choose a new job once they have full leveled up their first job. They will be allowed a maximum of 3 jobs. I hope this system can capture my original intention with jobs, to help foster an collaborative world on a multiplayer server. Where players can better interact and trade with each other.
The planned jobs are:
-Farmer
-Blacksmith
-Monster Tamer
-Librarian
-Miner
-Chef
-Fisherman
-Magician
-Architect
-Engineer
The planned races are:
-Mushroom
-Monkey
-Slime
-Demon
-Timeless
-Frog
-Bee
-Rat
-Goat
-Cat
What each of these origins entails is yet to be seen!
Im excited to execute on all these ideas I have and Im excited to continually show you what I have in store. These Races and Jobs are just the TIP of the iceberg.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
