FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hey fellow Minetest players, I am making plans to make a post-apocalyptic Minetest server. Lava and volcanoes are dotted across the map. You start out in a dense forest with a small village. You may utilise the village to make your own structures. The village will consist of a palisade, eight 5x5 houses, and a fort on a hill in the back. The fortress WILL have traps defending it, so be careful. The fort will be for me, my admins that I choose, and senior players. The houses accomadate one person. The palisades will protect the base. When I release the server and you start playing make sure to label your house as your own and to protect it. Oh, and I forgot. Lava will be everywhere. You'll see pools of it, you'll see volcanoes. So, what would you think of it?

I love it and can i be admin

Interesting, it's a nice idea. Is it griefing and PvP or just building? Or maybe both? If you need any help moderating I can help.

Pic or it didn't happen ;)
Awesome idea.

I think it should bet 3 or for villages with forts, and a castle. the villages squabble amongst eachother (raid/grief) and every so often peple go to the castle. The server should be pvp and griefing except no greifing during certain hours of the day. You could use world edit to make 3 identical houses. Also would people be able to expand houses?

Great idea! But here's what I think: There should be multiple towns/villages and lets say 2-5 people live in each "Village".
And the player has 2 choices, he can either.... Live in a Village, or try to survive and defend himself. And YES, I do believe it should be with griefing and PvP. And each town or village, wold be like a team, each player in a town can either stay loyal to there team. Or can be a trader, and grief the town and steal supplies. I have a few more things to suggest but I don't have the time now, sorry. And yes. I can help moderate if you'd like me to. If not okay :).

That looks very interesting.
i would love to see that on a server :D

+1

Each village would have a wall around it that the players have to build and defend. Also i think that you should add the money mod so we could barter stuff with other towns. Finally the faction mod should be added so each player could be in a faction that corresponds with their village.

All of your ideas are good. I especially like the idea of multiple villages that trade and/or fight. What I was going for in the original idea was surviving in a world full of lava. I think I can also make a story for the server. Jojoa1997 and davidpace, I like your ideas the best. I already have some ideas for factions, a story, and such. I'll reply to this post when I release the server. I have some work to do!

What about having secret alliances and making it so you can 'betray' your own team. That way it will be alot more secretive and you have to think twice before trusting someone.

But then you get nowhere

Any news?
