    Details of the gameplay

    Basic Gameplay


    Across The Time is a map, entirely built for vanilla minecraft (no need for mods).

    The map is inspired by RPG adventures like Zelda or Secret Of Mana with loot systems like Diablo or Borderlands.

    You need to complete quests, fight monsters and bosses in a lot of dungeons that get bigger and bigger!

    The game is focused on PvE (PvP isn’t available) and also provided with events like puzzle, platforms, enigma, etc…

    A unique development system supports players trough the experience gained and a well developed economy allows players to buy, to sell, to exchange in different shops.

    You can do this adventure alone or with friends, but it’s advisable to be no more than 3 players play the map.

    The map is semi-open world: large zones and regions were created to allow players freedom, but will be partly driven by the main quest.

    Of course, a dozen of secondary quests is waiting to extend the life of the game.

    Finally, you need between 20 and 30 hours of play to defeat the map.

    Fight Monster and Elites


    Each dungeon has it's own boss and mini-boss with hundreds of minions! The free areas are filled with all kinds of monsters that try to block you on the road.

    In some free zones, monsters regularly spawn, you can increase your power to fight against these monsters.

    Each monster has it's own special capacity (different speed, increased life, increased strength etc...) and is obviously equipped with a wide variety of armour and weapons.

    You can fight with sword, bow with more and more powerful enchantments, but also with spells.

    You gain one bonus heart after each death of a boss.


    Magic and Spells
    To help you in your fight against the corruption, you may cast spells all more original and miscellaneous than the others, for example :

    • Invocation (wolf, golem etc…),
    • Renewal of life
    • Slowing Aura
    • Rain of Arrows
    • Fireball
    • So, you can cast spells through books. They will unlock according to the progression of the player. The magical gauge is called Dahäl and is evolutive.

      To launch a spell, you just need to open the book and click on the name of the spell inside the book!

      Fireball Spell

      Ultima Spell

      Farming, Loot and Items


      Almost all the items of Minecraft are available on the map and you can buy, sell, loot off monsters or find in chests...

      There are various kinds of weapons and armor classified according to their powers and rarities: Sacred, Legendary, Sets, Magic or Normal!

      Do not forget, each item is useful, indeed they can be for most sold on the black market.

      It is possible and sometimes necessary if you want to improve you and loot the many legendary items owned by the enemy!

      The number of monsters you'll face will always be more important and difficult depending on your progress! That is why you need to equip yourself and loot.

      Know that monsters, bosses and elites have a small chance to dropped powerful items, so do not lose hope. Some Elites are unique but some dungeon bosses can be farmed!

      Elites and some secrets also drop a rare currency: "Ecaille Souveraine du Chaos". It used to buy you a type of very powerful items: the Sacred items.

      Choice of the class


      To give an RPG touch, the player needs to choose between 8 different classes at the beginning of the game !

      Each class has it's own feature, like unique spell books, or passive abilities. For example: Dahäl regeneration for sorcerer, two hearts more for the warrior, etc.

      Take a look at the different available classes:

      • Warrior
      • Druid
      • Ninja
      • Alchemist
      • Farmer
      • Healer
      • Hunter
      • Sorcerer
      • Deeds of valor and secondary quests


        To complicate your adventure, all deeds of valor or goals may be validated. 
So, you have to perform some kind of secondary challenges such as:

        1. Kill 1 thousand monsters.
        2. Reach level 80.
        3. Gain 2500 chronoton.
        4. These goals aren’t imposed but you will be rewarded according to what you have accomplished !

          But, to extend the life-time of the game, a dozen of secondary quests are available in some places of the game that you have to discover.

          Mode, difficulty and death


          At the beginning of the adventure, during tutorial, you will have the possibility to choose between two game-modes:

          Softcore: You lose only 1 level per death, heart regeneration by food is activated, the effects when you are badly wounded are reasonable.

          Nightmare: You lose 2 levels and 10 Chronoton per death, heart regeneration by food is deactivated, after being badly wounded the effects are very restrictive (slowdown, bleeding etc…)

          Along with these two modes, you also have the opportunity to play on Easy, Normal or Hard. Be careful if you play in multiplayer, an automatic system is activated and the difficulty changes depending on the number of players on the map:


          - 1 player: Easy
          - 2 players: Normal
          - 3 players: Hard

          Do not worry about death, many Checkpoints are placed throughout the adventure. You can enable them by clicking a button that is recognizable by yellow sponge blocks.

          Keys and locks


          During this journey you will find many locked doors and mechanisms. To unlock the doors, a key system was created for the map.

          Simply put a key (renamed and of varying shape) in a container that will be located in front of each mechanism. The difficulty in obtaining these keys will vary.

          Hunger and potions


          Food is present in the game. You will need to intelligently manage this resource because you can not cultivate.

          Obviously you will find some food on monsters, many chests and you can also buy in a specialty store.

          Concerning the potions, a system of limitation and recycling of empty potions has been created!

          There is a limited amount of potions in the game, but it is possible to recycle the empty bottles to buy more potions in the shop provided for this purpose.

          NPC and dialog


          You will meet a lot of NPCs to talk to along your way. NPCs are usually found in the villages but you can also meet them in different locations across the map, away from civilization.

          The dialogue system is automatic, you just have to approach the NPC to talk. Some NPC's will ask you questions that you can choose the answer by clicking in the chat window.

          Visit every corner, because some NPC give clues and quests which have awesome rewards.

          Adventure Mode & anti-cheat


          The game is in adventure mode, you can’t break blocks, type commands, etc.

          A security system is in charge of stop « briefing » and blocks the use ofcreative game mode. You can try but it’s at your own risk.

          Economy and Skills

          Skills & evolution system


          This unforgiving adventure will put you in difficult situations, the skills evolution systems is created to answer that.

          During the game, your character will gain more and more experience, thanks to this Xp, you will be able to exchange against advantageous abilities.

          Many effects are available from the weapons master, with several level unblock:



          - Force I, II, III, IV
          - Resistance I, II, III, IV
          - Speed attack I, II, III
          - Renewal of Dahäl I, II, III, IV
          - Renewal of heal I, II, III, IV.

          Money & Shops


          An important part of the game that we can’t to undervalue: the economy.

          The principal money of the game is the « Chronoton ».

          Every monster killed will give you ONE Chronoton, but the sale of recyclables items or the secrets’s searching will give you more.

          All these Chronotons give you the possibility to buy a lot of items in different shops in the main village of the game:


          - Alchemist (potion’s shop)
          - Smith (Weapons and armour shop)
          - Grocer (food shop)

          The Palace sells Sacred items.

          There is also another currency available in the game called « Sovereign Shell of Chaos ». With this, you can buy powerful sacred items in the game. This currency can be found in some chests and on some monsters or bosses.

          Black market


          As mentioned previously, you’ll be able to exchange many objects like (zombie meat, wire spider, skeleton bones, etc.)

          Thanks to Hannibal Chau’s black market, any useless monster drops can be exchanged in Chronotons.

          You will just to put items on specific container, and it’s done. Thanks to that, every drops, every items give you a benefit.

          Bank


          The Bank is a popular place for multiplayer games, because the currency exchange system between players is developed inside it.

          The Bank is in the Palace, you can exchange 5, 50 or 500 Chronotons per click. You will find in the Bank an exchange system of Chronoton to XP, and XP to Chronoton.

          Redstone system and command


          Hiding behind this huge map is a system that we would like to show you to prove all of the gameplay.

          Many redstones systems have been created, for boss, for the economy, for many challenges.

          Every system includes command blocks with specific codes to improve the functioning of the events, puzzle mechanics.

          Take a loot at some redstones systems on this photo:
