What a cool map! I didn't realize you were a parkour master and redstone god. I accidentally skipped the radio transmission part, because I saw the railway without the hint. (I later ran back and did the transmission because I was curious...) I accidentally woke Timmy up, so I may have let the cat out of the bag. Very cool map overall! I liked all of the different elements you incorporated. Oh, and the ambiance was great!
Thanks so much for playing man! :D Glad you liked it! Haha yeah, I really had to brush up on my redstone knowledge after all these years but the behind-the-scenes aren't too complicated. Yeah, accidentally skipping parts of the map is something I was worried about but also a worry that came too late into the design process to actually do anything about it :P But thanks for the kind words, and happy holidays!!
This was very cozy and festive and I loved the idea of delivering presents by ship. There were a couple places where I accidentally cheated (first by guessing the password to the train station, and then by talking to the Mayor twice to clarify my instructions and accidentally going to the endgame) but those kind of things are to be expected in Minecraft maps. The little worldbuilding elements found in the journals and scenery really bring the place to life. Overall this was a fun and creative spin on a jam submission that fits perfectly with the Christmas spirit.
Hey thanks so much for playing! Yeah, that was my fear that it would be too easy to cheese the puzzles, unfortunately. Hopefully you did end up finding out how to actually solve the puzzle with the clues provided? I should have probably made them more complex, haha. I'm glad you liked the worldbuilding! I would have loved to do more of it, and also would have loved to add more juice and challenge to the ending, but I simply didn't have enough time so it is what it is. So anyways, thanks for playing! Happy holidays ;)
Edit: Come to think of it, I completely forgot to incorporate the theme hahaha. Woops, but still hope it's festive and all that!
