Sleepless Night - Maps - Crowdford

"Survive the night!"

Keep your campfire going through the night, so you don't freeze. Cut down trees to get more wood and collect gold to buy better upgrades. Keep the zombies and other enemies under control so that they can't do any harm!

The campfire is the heart of your camp and is the only way to survive through the night. Without the campfire near you, you'll slowly start freezing until eventually, you die, so make sure it doesn't extinguish! To achieve this cut-down trees, bring their branches to the sawmill, and replenish the campfire with the sticks you obtain this way.

If you have the campfire under control, perhaps it's time to seek out the mines. In the mines you can secure valuable gold ores, which a nearby smeltery turns into gold nuggets for you - these can be used to buy new upgrades back at your camp. One upgrade, for example, lets you cut down trees faster!

One important feature of this map, however, has been left out so far: Spells. Each player can use two spells to increase their likelihood of surviving the night, and, the Enchanting Table gives you a chance to improve them. It converts mob loot into magic orbs, which are used to enhance spells.

One last essential factor of survival is food. The lake offers a great opportunity for fishing, and the campfire can cook fish for you. Additionally, berry bushes are scattered around woods, providing a decent food supply.

When trying to get a score for the leaderboard, it is recommended to use No / Custom Snow (You can change this in the lobby), and to play in Singleplayer or on a Server.

Sleepless Night has been updated many times, and the current version has significant differences to the original. Because of this, the leaderboard has been reset (2020-12-03). Scores on version 1.3.4 or higher are valid for the leaderboard. You can find the old leaderboard here.

This map was made for the first Vertex Map Jam, where each team (1-3 people) had to come up with a concept and create a themed map within 2.5 days. The themes were Winter & Magic. Seven of the participating teams submitted a map at the end of the jam. This map was made by Tsjo43, made up of McTsts, marhjo & Ds43m. With 27.09% of all submitted votes, this map received First Place. Before publishing this map, it has been slightly extended, balanced, and fixed.
