Re: Pastel Community Game project and discussion

Uncomfortable? Not at all. I just mean that, after quite some time of being emotionally invested in this, the leaving the project be had an appealing sense of closure to it.
But yes, if one truly wished to perform work, using that game as a modelling tool of sorts is workable enough. That was my plan, for a long while. It might even have worked if I hadn't descended into the deepest pit of over engineering I've ever seen, with autonomous administration systems running entirely on in-game computers with command blocks, machinery imitating the edge controls allowing travel between worlds dedicated to the subnet, the pcg, the subcraft maps, the pastel lands, et cetera. The possibilities, once I dragged mods into it, were endless. The worst part is I got quite far before it all succumbed to technical issues, and the growth of the underlying software made the server unable to accommodate the full scope of the project.
Ironically enough, I shut down the server I got for that purpose... Last week. Though, come to think of it, since it ran on a quarterly billing cycle, there may be a month or two left on it. I could probably set you up to use it, if you're interested. Emphasis on probably.
