Non sum qualis eram
The town is still under construction.
Some screenshots of my work-in-progress are available here:
http://worldofaltera.co.uk/threads/town-under-construction-zephyr-landing.27421/
Essentially, what can be seen is that although I do think I can interior decorate well, and I think I can nail the Desert Style aesthetic in some places - it's still pretty rough.
I have /always/ had a challenging time utilizing vertical space when building in minecraft. Usually all of my builds are flat and lacking in visual depth as a result, and I also have trouble avoiding the dreaded grid.
So, what I'm looking for help with, is three things:
One: I'm looking for help to redesign the terrain and placement of my existing buildings in a fashion that adds slope, elevation, and depth, while taking buildings off a strict linear, horizontal/vertical grid.
Two: I'm looking for blueprints and templates that I can use and reuse elsewhere in the town. Right now I have about 9 or so repeatable designs and an extensible "Lower Quality" section, but that's really lacking in variety and it'd be obvious when the buildings started tessellating. These are supposed to be individually decoratable as an individual's house, so the insides should be fairly generic.
Three: I'm looking for specific designs for a few particular building ideas.
I am open to probably compensating people if they really need it, but would rather make friends doing an interesting building project then turning it into a "Hiring a contractor" sort of thing. There's lots of different things I could work out.
Just putting this out there now to let people know that based on the interest shown in the in-progress thread that I will be stepping up to get this going more now. I had figured there wasn't much interest but I'm getting happier with people talking to me.
