Description
Current Mod Status: Dead in the water, not enough interest in the game to continue. If you are someone you know wants to take over the project, send me some examples of your work for consideration.

A new map a new world. This map is still in the construction progress, and is only about 25% done at the moment. I am using the current playable area as a test base for feedback about the gameplay and visual aspects. I intend to have things finished for the Alienware contest deadline however, so updates will come quick over the next month.


Backstory
-----------------
After the defeat of the Broodmother, the surviving humans began to conspire to leave the island that had become their cage. With the resources they had gathered throughout their adventures they constructed a great water craft, capable of carrying the survivors in their entirety along with plenty of supplies for a long voyage. Using a concentrated electro-magnetic pulse, generated using the energy that the obelisks themselves gave off, they were able to disrupt the invisible barrier that had trapped them there, and escaped out onto the open sea. After several months of sailing, it was clear that the planet they had been relocated to was not Earth, despite the obvious similarities and clearly Earthen plant life. The stars were no guidance for those with marine experience, and the clouds seemed to swim and coalesce in ways that shouldn't have been possible, as if they were alive.
Several months after beginning their expedition, one of the lookout finally spotted land on the horizon. What slowly crawled into prominence was a torn, jagged coast line coated with steep, harsh mountains reaching deep into the skies. It was clear that another opportunity would not quickly present itself, and the supply room was quickly dwindling. With baited breath the group disembarked onto a new island, free from their former captor's influence. The grass is not always greener on the other side however, and the group realized that without their captors keeping strict control over their environment, things were about to get a lot rougher in ways that they could never expect.


FAQ
------------

Q. How large is this?
A. About 33% larger than the Island, although it is pretty hard to estimate because I use much more verticle space.

Q. Where are the new biomes?
A. Swamp will likely be worked in over time (added!), but I intend to build a season system into the map, so the snow biome won't apply.

Q. Can I play this now?
A. You certainly can! I make no guarentees about the safety of your save games however, and things will likely break as I keep adding more in.

It's absolutely hilarious to ask for examples of other peoples work so that they can take over a project that you have no interest in. Ridiculous.

Not really anymore, I stil float around the UE4 forums but not typically the Ark section. Feel free to send me a message here on Steam though. Perhaps I was being a bit overzealous with my last remark, if you are really interested in inheriting the headache just send me some of your work and I'll consider it.

@Jordi La Forge Fair enough, that wouldn't be me then. I am not a beginner, but I am not an expert. I do have 20+ of software development exp, but that isn't the same thing :D Sad because I see so much in your map that I love and would like to see completed. You on discord (ark or otherwise) or spend anytime in the Developer Discord channels?

I'd be willing to pass on the project files, but it would need to be to someone who can show me they really know what they are doing. I've overwritten ton of base functionality, and in order to pick up where I left off they would need to be very famliar with both ADK and UE4 itself. Even if I never finished it I did put a few hundred hours of hard work into it and it would hurt to see a beginner try to complete it.
