It's weird. I know I'm in a bad place mentally, but I don't feel it. I think that means my medication is working. Or my current project is too enthralling. But I'm doing the thing where I take one of my favorite OCs and put her through hell. Not to bring her out the other side, but to wallow in her pain and misery.
So! My current project! Feed the Beast (one of the big modded Minecraft communities) is holding a modpack competition. You have to create a modpack, a map to go with it, and a quest line to tie the map and the modpack together.
I am having so much fun putting this together. I'm doing a pretty free-range map with the main work on my part being finding a seed I like and building the starting area. The rest will be generated as the player wanders the world. Although, since I've overflown a lot of the land near spawn, I can take that account writing my quests.
It's 1.6.4 Minecraft, so I still had to sort out block and item IDs. But that's all done. The modpack is complete, except for me modifying recipes to make things inter-dependent on each other. I just need to finish the quests, some other info books I want to provide the player, and build what I'm visualizing at spawn. Then I can ship it off to a few beta-testers.
