The Lost Cosmos | DISCORD

Gameplay plan »

  • The player will spawn in a spaceship going through space at hyperspeed (shown using optimized particles) and you will be frozen in place (reference to the cryogenic freezing that occurs later on) where you read some timed holograms about character information, sound information and resource pack information.
  • After this you will be teleported to a cutscene with the designated characters voice you had chosen. This will explain some parts of the backstory and help people understand what's happening.
  • Once that is over you will crash land on the wrong planet and have 12 hours of gameplay to complete, this will include; quests, multiplayer missions, pvp battles with mobs, grinding to level up your suit and statistics.
  • After completing around 12 hours of feature-rich gameplay you will have the choice to either; stay on the planet you crashed on and inhabit it (hard mode) or go to the original planet (easy mode) and the game will turn into a towny mode where you have to gather resources and rebuild civilization with friends, family and other server members. You will be able to go to war too.
  • As the server progresses (and updates) you and your team will be able to upgrade your ship to travel to new planets basically turning yourselves into a type 3 civilization.
  • Spoiler, at the end you will have the choice of killing the alien civilization who originally attacked earth.

The story »
Far in the distant future the radio-waves of the human inhabited planet Ecrth have reached a distant type 3 civilization, they decoded the gibberish that is the radio-waves and had come to a conclusion that they can be the only intellectual civilization within the extremely large universe. They decide to start a conquest to rule the near galaxies. At this time Ecrth was under siege, war had broken out multiple times and the governments were collapsing. Russian’s were preparing for biological warfare. The diseases they were creating were powerful enough to wipe out countries within a decade with an almost-impossible chance to cure. This disease had escaped the military laboratory and created a world-wide pandemic. After years of attempting to cure the virus Russia, France, England and some parts of America, with the very little resources available, decided to create a massive spaceship capable of taking select survivors of the human race to inhabit another planet but while in development the alien civilization had been travelling to our galaxy getting ready to annihilate Ecrth and everyone with it. Once they reached Ecrth scientists from around the world had stopped work on creating a vaccine and instead tried to acknowledge and have first-contact with the alien spaceship hovering over earth. Almost hours after the arrival 3 beams had shot down from the alien ship completely flooding several countries and murdering what was left of most of the world. In a panic earth’s prized possession had been launched sending a host of people into space. Once the spaceship had gone past Mers it launched the 25 people into smaller spaceships with enough power to go across the galaxy. These hosts were cryogenically frozen and after nearly 10000 years 22 of these 25 had died during this time due to asteroids, miscalculations and other un-factored problems when travelling the galaxy. After finally waking up the 3 humans were in alpha qentauri and had directed their ships towards a habitable planet when their ships controls and navigation system had failed, the 3 lone survivors had crash landed on a different planet. What was this planet? Can they repair their ship? Is there any life?

Playable characters »

  1. Locus, a 13 year old boy who was supposed to arrive with his family but instead is stuck with 2 others.

  2. Perdita, a 15 year old girl who had been abandoned by her peers and family on Ecrth and has great knowledge and endurance

  3. Partum, a 32 year old engineer who loves to work and his dream has always been to go to space. He didn’t expect it to happen this way.

Gameplay timeline and basics »
This server will be an RPG space-themed game-mode. The actual quests available once you crash will depend on the character you picked (and you cannot pick again). In total there will be 12-16 hours of gameplay, quests and side-quests to complete. Once you completed these you are able to set course for your original planned planet (easy) or have a choice to inhabit the one you crashed on (hard). It will then be like an SMP, you will be able to declare war on other people, claim land and play with other players.


The demo idea (25 minutes of gameplay) »
As we go along with development we would like to release a demo for players, this will be free for the first time around with one character and you're able to purchase a pass to get unlimited demo access and special updates. You will get to chose your character, download the resource pack related to the character (each character sees things a tiny bit differently) from there you will be directed to a cutscene (different voice for each character) where you're being interviewed in the future. You will be talking to someone about what happened to earth and explaining the basics of the story while being shown visually via builds. After this you will crash-land and do two quests where you will meet the other 2 characters (multiplayer will be available for main quests) and you will have the choice to do some side quests for fun.

Demo quest ideas »
Broken space suit!
Until you fix your oxygen detector on your ship you don't know if the planet even has oxygen! Fix your oxygen tank by finding a tool in your crashed spaceship and look for some iron!

Are you alive?
Look for the other 2 pods, try to see if anyone else crashed & survived!

What's that noise?
Search the area and see what that noise was, could it be life on the planet?

Upgrades and buycraft »

As the story progresses and the user adapts to the new atmosphere, larger threats and high oxygen levels your suit will be upgraded, you will be able to jump higher, you can unlock new outfits, you can become stronger and more!

The server will not be pay to win! That's a promise. You will be able to purchase pets, cosmetics, new suit looks and more aesthetically eye-pleasing things but NO P2W!

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

I would like you to bare in mind that we have only worked on this for about 3 days, this is completely random and we just want to get your opinions! :)

You can also join our discord through: https://thelostcosmos.com/

From a narrative perspective, the quests detailed lack depth. Wishing for 12-16 hours of content, you'll probably find yourself with at least 50 of those sorts of quests. If you'd like to make them more in-depth, hit me up on Discord at Extensy#4042. I write for several other RPG games right now and have a solid understanding of it, maybe we can work something out :)

If not, then best of luck! No hard feelings regardless. I like the idea generally, just thought I'd give my input on the questing you proposed in the thread.

Extensy I'm sure you know we're not that silly! I only added them as examples, we're going to have a lot more than just 3 quests. Them 3 will be mainly for the demo purposes. I will add you on discord if you have some ideas though. Kappa

You may want to change this part of your post then:
No? I'm still looking for developers but I don't want to open my server to the public and suddenly accept new developers if that makes sense. If you wish to develop for us now then feel free to jump in our discord and let me know. We already have the server running and we're working on it as we speak.
