Status Update 2/22: Moving, New Modpack Beta Coming SOON, and Bounce 2 Moving Forward

Hello!!!

Its been a bit since I properly gave a status update on my work! Ive been VERY busy these past few weeks. Both with my work, but also with life! I moved apartments, so a lot of my time these past couple of weeks has been dedicated to moving. BUT I have also been working tirelessly on my next pack!

New Modpack Beta COMING SOON!

About a month or two ago, I was commissioned to produce a new modpack. So as I was wrapping up production on VShojocraft, I put my time directly into this new pack. This pack is similar in a casual gameplay vibe with VShojocraft, however has:

- Higher Focus on Dungeon Runs and Loot
- A hand designed simple leveling system that rewards the player for discovering new things and provides challenges and rewards
- A compendium to track all newly discovered Animals, Monsters, Foods, Crops, Armor Sets, Weapons, and More
- An expansive questbook with questlines to help introduce you to all the content in the pack.

This pack also is being built on Forge, so it will have a different set of mods than VShojocraft. You'll see:

- A wide array of challenging bosses from the Cataclysm Mod
- A diverse assortment of Origins to choose from
- Seasons that affect crop growth and bring a feeling of the passage of time on your server
- Dino Fossils you can find in the Mushroom Kingdom. Maybe you can bring those fellas back to life?

There is a LOT im putting into this pack and its going to be a LOT of fun.  Im hoping to have the pack done by the end of the month and so expect a pack beta released in the beginning of march!

Bounce 2 is Making Progress

Obviously, my main project that I am always working on is BounceSMP 2. Whether thats through experimenting in my smaller packs or developing ideas and tools, it is always on my mind. However up until now, BounceSMP was always mostly a project I tackled on my own. Even Bounce 1 was a modpack and server that I mainly developed on my own and then had my team help me moderate.

However, I decided it was finally time to rally the troops and get some help with Bounce 2. And so this past week, I recruited a team of my good friends from the Crypts and Creepers team to help me in my plans. While this team is composed of my close friends, this team is filled with talented artists, modelers, coders, musicians, builders and more. Each of my friends brings a lot of extra talent to the project that is just going to elevate it beyond what I could do on my own. We began our collaborative development these past few weeks and I can say that development is full steam ahead. And the team is incredibly excited to make some incredible!

Last Things

Other than that, I want to continue to create asset packs and rewards for everyone to enjoy! So expect some bonuses soon. You all deserve the world!

Thank you again so much for your support. Keep being awesome and stay hydrated!
