Gardens of a New World - Inspirations!

Posted by slitherpunk on Dec 17, 2021

Hi! Sorry for not having an update recently, so many projects I'm working on! Busy busy. But have you seen? My sequel to Artists of a Dead World, Gardens of a New World has been released! As you might have read in my previous post about this series, this world was originally created for fun in creative mode modded Minecraft, where a friend and I came up with a huge story for.

The world in Gardens of a New World was a location in the world that would only appear near the very end. This world was inspired by the Distortion World from Pokemon Platinum, and the End of Time from Chrono Trigger. Below are a few screenshots from that world, and screenshots from the game to compare.

Greenery Area in Minecraft:

Dark area in Minecraft with old brown bricks and lush green plants growing in from the walls and ceiling, there is also a fountain.

Another lush green dark area in minecraft, there are birch trees growing sideways and through the walls.

Greenery area in Gardens of a New World:

Very dark screenshot from Gardens of a New World, of a brown brick path, a green lantern, and a few trees.

Gardens of a New World screenshot looking downward into the void, trees and fountains seem to stretch on into infinity below.

Mechanical area in Minecraft:

A lit hallway in Minecraft with red lanterns, steel, gold, and black walls, and conveyor belts.

End of a stell hallway, there is a block with a heart on it at the end, with a button on it.

Mechanical area in Gardens of a New World:

A room with steel walls, red lanterns, there are floating computer monitors about, and gears stick out through the walls.There is a character wearing a hoodie looking confused.

A room with worn out metal walls, pipes going through the walls in random directions, and at the end of the room there is a block with a heart on it.

Ending area in Minecraft:

A dark area in the void, there are floating platforms of brown bricks, and orange golems floating in the void.

Ending area in Gardens:

A brown brick pathway in the void, there is a floating orange golem with glowing green eyes, and a spiral floating in the void as a light source.

That's about all the comparison pictures I have, unfortnately because that Minecraft modpack no longer works, I can not go back and take more screenshots. But this game was my best attempt at bringing that part of the world back to life, and I think I did a better job at making this place be a strange void realm that gets the feeling across than in the original.

The original there was planned to be a big supercomputer type object at the very end, which we see the character Duke toying with at the end of Gardnes of a New World. That originally never got made.

So, if you played maybe you are wondering about this world still. Well, I have been wondering what I might do next. I don't know if I want to explain this entire world, that would take a lot of effort, but, I have been thinking of doing a prequel to Artists of a Dead World, were you get to explore more of that city, and witness some events that occour. Maybe for next year's Madvent. We'll see! I did start planning THIS game at the end of last year's Madvent. Originally, I had planned for it to have actual gardens you could plant vegetables and fruits in, but the deadline ended up sneaking up on me and I decided to scrap that and do a simple exploration game again. Probably for the best, with these Madvent games, people expect something very short and not too in-depth for each day.
