Levelcap.se (Swedish Blizzard fansite) had a beta key contest recently where you could enter with any kind of art, picture, song or whatever as long as it related to Diablo in some way.
I have always wanted to do something from Diablo within minecraft so I figured I would go ahead and give it a shot.
I decided to recreate the town of New Tristram from the beta.
Disclaimer: The project is not really completed, it's only part of the town (although the most important part I may say). The contest was due for today so I had to upload this anyway. I will likely continue this project (hopefully if I win a key I can get some better looks at the environments).
Some things I had to improvise a bit with since it's hard to recreate everything, but I tried to be as accurate as possible.
This was all done in creative mode by hand. Texture pack is DokuCraft Dark.
Disclaimer 2: Sorry for the loud rain noise, didn't expect it to pick up that much. Also the rendered video got a bit dark, but it kinda fits the Diablo theme anyway :).
Cool. I have never played Minecraft, but it looks fun if you put in these kinds of environments.
I sent an Friend Invite on YouTube!
Thanks, yeah it's kinda fun. I haven't played very much Minecraft myself (this is my first real project apart from some messing around in singleplayer and some servers).
For the gate you could make it piston powered and open? I think small details like that may help.
Yeah, good idea. I haven't played minecraft in a while so I'm not 100% on how they work and stuff yet. Had no time to figure it out since the contest was due for today, had to finish everything up quite roughly tbh.
But I will look into it and keep updating this :)!
There are some tutorials on youtube. It would really add a nice effect. Another easy thing to do may be to add Cains house (just make sure it's a little deeper than leahs room)
Other than that the open areas feel sort of bland like around the body burning pile there should be trees closer in the back and around the waypoint... i dunno it just feels open.

Good job overall though.
Yeah, I kinda misjudged some of the distances a bit.I had very little time to finish up the background environment so I just planted some trees around everything to make it reasonably similar in shape.
The area around the waypoint is a bit too large as well and no details, might fix that up soon-ish.. Overall I want to add more detail in everything but I just didn't have time before I had to do the video
Haha, nope :D. Got an email to confirm my account details just a few minutes ago!
Congrats dude!! Do you have any idea how many participated? (Not implying yours is bad ). It just might be an easier way to win beta keys from other sites than trying to win one on D-fans, cause of all the entries...

When you gonna start playing? mmmmmmmmmm
Thanks :). No not really, but the site is not that big so I think I had pretty good odds. I've been to some other site's beta contests as well and yeah depending on how big the site is the odds can really change. So if you can find some smaller site's contest still running then go ahead!
I'm hoping they will activate my account tomorrow and then I'll get right to it!
Wait... confirm your account details? >_> If it's a key give away they just send you the key.
Hope you're not being scammed.
Only my name and account email.
I'm guessing they are using the same procedure as with press invites? As in the fansite sends in our account names to Blizzard and they flag the accounts.
Mm they don't do that. That was only for press invites which are long gone.
I'd keep an eye on my account if I were you. Not sure what they're attempting but they don't need your name or email. They may be trying to recover your account password to scam you or something.
Anyways the beta keys they gave out to sites, like the ones we got, are just keys, that's it.

Yeah I dunno. I kinda trust the site tbh, they are not that big sure but they've been along since forever (other websites though) and I know the guy who mailed me through other old swedish fanpages. So I dunno. Even IF they wanted to scam me they can't really do anything with only that info. Plus I have an authenticator anyways..

I got an email today from Vaneras @ Blizzard with a beta key attacked so I guess they used a mix of the two. Maybe Blizzard wanted my account to see it was in good standing before mailing me the key.
You weren't the first though PhrozenDragon has beta.
Anyways congratulations! Really happy for you. I guess they probably didn't want to give out keys incase of people selling them on ebay or something possibly. Or maybe a law in your country for "contests" who knows.
Congrats!
