buzzie71 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Greetings, and welcome to both a product and an experiment. It has always amazed me how memories of the Unity lore in rev 11 seem to persist to this day, especially considering that the story was written more or less to just be told over one rev. Since after the story of the Unity Retrieval Project was told in rev 12, I wanted to flesh out the universe a bit more somehow in a text-based format. The end result is a story that explores the time before Unity, and what came before the vessel's construction. The story is being hosted on Tumblr at http://unityorigins.tumblr.com/ Unlike the Unity story in rev 11, this project was not carried out as a staff project and exists entirely within a story serial format. Any resemblances of character or location names to existing Minecraft/PvE counterparts are largely coincidental, though interestingly, because writing did start quite a while ago - P rev 13/4-ish - some of the more deliberate nods may be outdated. The content is aimed more at older audiences relative to the target audience of the rev 11 story (that is, everyone), so beware of that. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy the ride. Part 1 of 4 has been lined up for release every other day at midnight Eastern time, starting with tonight and ending October 8. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzzie71 Posted October 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Part 2 story segments are now queued up for release on http://unityorigins.tumblr.com. The first one was put up at midnight today (October 12) and segments will be posted every other day at midnight until the last release on October 26. I'd like to take this opportunity to send a shoutout to twilexis for reading through and giving feedback on my initial draft (all...40-ish pages of it apparently O.o). Thanks for your time and input! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzzie71 Posted December 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Yes I know, I'm late ._. It's been about three weeks since the last story segment from Part 3 was posted - I had originally wanted to delay Part 4 (the final part) posting, but stuff happened that delayed the Part 4 release even later than intended: - I didn't want the story segment releasing to happen over Thanksgiving (intended). - Real life got a bit busy and I spent some time extinguishing fires (figuratively, unintentional) - Found some plot holes I missed in my draft (O.o) Similarly to the first point, I don't like the idea of releasing these story segments over Christmas, so the first part of Part 4 story segments are queued for release on http://unityorigins.tumblr.com every other day at midnight Eastern time (yes, back to midnight) from today, December 9, to December 21. The last half is (if all goes well) slated for release after the new year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzie71 Posted January 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 The last of the Part 4 segments (up to the real end of the story) have now been queued up for release at http://unityorigins.tumblr.com. The first of these was released at midnight Eastern time today (January 17) and the rest will continue to be released every other day at midnight Eastern time, until February 8. If you have read this far, I hope you enjoyed the story, and thank you for taking the time to read it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
