MINESCAPE - A unique MMORPG gamemode! Custom monsters, huge fantasy map, loyal community!

[CookiesNoms]

What is MineScape...

MineScape is a fully featured Minecraft MMORPG gamemode that attempts to entirely recreate RuneScape in Minecraft. Quests, monsters, skills, locations - it has it all. The competitive grindy nature and stunning visuals make the gamemode an extremely unique experience unlike anything seen before in Minecraft. Every mob was custom modeled and animated, tools weapons and armor too! Our goal when making it was to make players feel as if they were playing RuneScape in first person and almost take them out of Minecraft entirely in what feels like it’s own unique game. Existing since 2012, this gamemode is something different. Capable of insane amounts of estimated profit under the right hands (as seen doable in the past having originated from the Arkham Network), MineScape and it’s niche but loyal community are what drive the game - much like RuneScape.



Why are we selling it...

Due to recent events involving our network (which MineScape was meant to be apart of) we’ve lost everything we’d ever worked on. Money earned from MineScape and other projects was spent on building our new network which, after poor choices in system administrators we’ve had files stolen and lost. We’ve taken some huge hits to everything we’ve ever worked on and it’s been a painful last year for me and Sixbits so our only option was to tell our most valuable asset - MineScape. Besides we don’t have the money or resources to do what this gamemode needs to thrive, we’re barely able to afford our $15 VPS we’re using to start working on gamemodes again.

To put it simply we want to see MineScape go to someone who will do what we wish we could do with it, but can’t due to unforeseen circumstances. I can’t stress enough how much potential this gamemode and it’s community has and it pains me to know we can’t bring it to it’s peak so maybe somebody else will.

On top of that the money will go into jumpstarting our projects again which will help us get back on our feet after all the unfortunate happenings as of late.

Here’s what you’ll get...

- MineScape world file - a massive RPG map (most f2p area, tutorial island, some paid areas, cities, underground, most remastered/updated 2018).

- MineScape lobby world file - to act as a hub to the actual game, a place to force players to download the pack (built by MrFlimFlammer).

- The MineScape resource pack (hundreds of unique models & textures).

- Buycraft store with ranks/products, theme, and functionality all set up and ready to go ($2000 USD profit since under our ownership, upwards of 20k estimate when it was on the Arkham Network).

- 24 custom 3D modeled & animated monsters to make the world feel alive and unique taking the players completely out of the Minecraft experience (walking, attacking, static animations).

- The minescape.us domain.

- The minescape.us website, youtube, instagram, twitter, reddit & media (logos, animations, trailers, images).

- Gameplay documentation and explanations on how the gameplay works (Trello access to see how the development process happened).

- The MineScape Discord (200 members) & control over the community/staff.

- A Minecraft server that's existed for since 2012 and been continued by a loyal community.

- The original teams continued support (if you'd like it) we love this project and want to see it thrive properly so we'd follow you along the way and help out where we can. Keep the charm of the original team involved while taking over the project for yourself.

- Professional advertising plan/business plan when ready to release.

- MineScape wiki.

- MineScape merch store (yes it's sold merch!)

- 16 skins made custom for MineScape NPC’s as well as custom player skins used to better immerse players in the world.

WARNING: this package comes with everything ready to bring back MineScape except for one thing, the plugin. Which means you'd just need a dev or to be a dev yourself and you can bring back this gamemode in it's greatest form. It's possible you could do it without custom plugins and we'd be happy to help show you how but a developer to make it work is really what it needs.



The History…

Our project is a continuation of the MineScape from The Arkham Network of 2014 but since then, we’ve made some big changes. On the Arkham Network, MineScape was (at its peak) reaching an average of five hundred players constant and pulling in profits of $1000-$5000 a month. Around leaving Arkham, Sixbits joined its former owner on a new network known then as the Lunar Network until eventually moving to the hands of Sixbits to take the gamemode in a new direction. Since 2015 a new team has remastered the map, mechanics and completely overhauled what MineScape was as a gamemode. It’s only problem was never getting to a point Sixbits’ was comfortable with. Otherwise with the right third phase business plan and funding to advertise properly we believe it would’ve exceeded it’s former version. That potential is still inherent in what we have to offer right now, it just needs to be in the proper hands and that’s why we’re here. Bring life back to this gamemode and watch it be a hit, with the proper backing this gamemode could be massive and we’ve done the market research to prove it.

me when i see this thread

I played on this server for a long time, it was amazing, but sadly went down at some point.
Now i hope that who ever buys this server can return it to its old glory so we can play again ^-^

Seems like a last ditch effort to drain the last few $$ out of a troubled project

Oh hi, who am I?, I am the developer who attempted to work with these people and create a living, breathing, working server, and that some $2000 in donations, guess how much I ever saw of that $0 zilch nothing, never even compensated in any way for the countless hours I spent on this project.

Now as far as everything goes, I can explain to you exactly what you are getting:

World, decent'ish on the top level, but there are a few problems as in they didnt build it on flat terrain, they built it ontop of an existing world. And instead of chunk filling holes in the world they just put torches in them which is going to be a pain to go through and fix, do-able but annoying.

Resourcepack: The resourcepack is freely download-able at https://resourcepack.minescape.me/resourcepack.zip released under a Creative Commons Licence (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ meaning you can do whatever you please with it and it cannot be revoked

Buycraft, eh tbh not that hard to setup, and would use crafting store in future as its free compared to buycraft (just saying)

Models are in the resourcepack so have fun with those

Domain? What a $10 domain cause it was the cheapest

Website + Social media like what, basic static page and a few accounts hmmm worth so much

Hope you screenshoted that trello

Discord is nice enough, players there are genuinely interest in the game mode, you can tell cause its such a small community

Wiki, you mean the wiki i am admin of.... and that the players created not you

The skins are also publicly available on the mojang servers, as long as you have have the right hash's

Anyways, if you interested in actually buying from these people, I wouldn't recommend it, but cant tell you what to do. Just know that there already is a continuing community that has risen from the ashes that Sixbits has burnt down.

Thanks,
Dablakbandit

No last ditch attempt Blak. We are just looking for some funding to continue our future projects, and also paying people for the time they committed to the project.

And Guess what? that $2000? I never saw any of it either. It was redistributed into builds for minescape, and also builds that ended up getting stolen by our previous server host. We both know that this whole project was a passion project with an eventual goal of getting some profit, but it never got to that point.

No need for all the snarky comments either. As for the resource pack? in the read me it is licenced under a (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) correct, which means. you cannot use it for commercial use, you are currently selling things on your store, and are thus using something I've worked very hard on for your own monetary gain.

We all spent a lot of time on this project and I don't think its fair that you can just take all our files, and make your own server. Taking hundreds of hours of work from others giving no credit or compensation.

 

[Dablakbandit]

I am not using anything that wasn't already publicly available, I am more then happy to compensate any gains from the server I am making back to the creators for the world and even you the modeler, I have no problem with that unlike the last owner. Only thing is I will make sure that it is evenly distributed, even back to the players, which makes a community what it is.

As for the resourcepack, any items sold are on the server regardless of the resourcepack, an item on the server is not linked to your work, the resourcepack is loaded by the client to enhance their experience.

Thanks again,
Dablakbandit

What is current bid?

Probably nothing since everyone read Dablakbandit ’s post

 

[orange gatorade]

"Professional advertising plan/business plan when ready to release."

Yeah by whom?

 

[OnyxianSoul]

We've had a couple offers so far but none from anyone who has good intentions. We want it to go to the person who'll take it in the right direction and who care about it for more than its capabilities of profit. So yeah, we still looking.



It's just an attempt at diminishing the product, Dablakbandit has committed two known accounts of cybercrimes by using Cookies' resource pack - we're looking into what we can have done about this at the moment.



Me, worked in marketing leadership roles for multiple companies and have done an apprenticeship with a multimillion-dollar advertising agency. The plan is good!

Also, bump.

Well to be honest, its a nice idea, but it'd require a ton of investment to get a dev to actually rebuild the gamemode, money which people expect to gain back if they do, but are wondering if they will.
Plus i'm really wondering how jagex would feel about a parody minecraft server, and if they'd shut it down if it became 'popular', and possibly also make legal trouble for the people could are running it.

And finally, while it'd be cool to play for a while in a first person rs world, lets be honest, there isnt much point, the rs combat system is pretty advanced compared to minecraft, and there is a ton of other content that'd need replicating to even be close to reaching rs current state after more than a decade development.
