lol thanks:)

Just updated the project. Might need some suggestions about the current stage. Also no screenshot placed, look for the project details and check out current stage:)

I really like it, the only thing I would improve is the walls. I would make them a little bit bigger. Except for that this is really gd
1
After the recent update in the project. This town will not be a town anymore. It will be a part of a big city, meaning the walls are to go.

Update 6 is out bringing you BIG NEWS.

Update 5 is out!

Hey guys, sorry for not updating the project for the previous week. College has just started this week and it looks like i'm gonna be busy with it. But still, i'm looking for terraformers that can help me with my build. I'm not a good terraformer so yeah. Anyone interested in helping me with this project can PM and all accreditation will be given to you Thank you!

Edit : The roofs will stay the same, im just gonna update my building style on the next places of the map. Thanks.

It looks like an average Nordic / medieval roof style.
Therefore it looks pretty nice to me. If you wanted to go for a more fantasy / dwarven theme, try putting curles within the sides of the roves.

yup. i know i'm not really going for a fantasy build, but i'm just asking if this is better than the 45 degree roof so i can proceed:)

This is very impressive work!
The only thing I can see that can be improved is I feel it looks overcrouded.
I think you should replace the trees with smaller ones.

Yup, nordic/medieval towns always looks overcrowded. And the trees are a good way just to give the place some atmosphere btw thanks for the feedback

This is a roof design is was thinking of, any ideas if this is better? If not, what roofs would you want to see
1
Looks cool, but the top seems really flat. Maybe try something to make it stand out more. Other then that, great job, and I hope you get a lot of recognition!
1
Thanks, btw im currenly trying new roof designs. And i'll post them later after im done with it
1
Very nice.

I think it looks like a penguin.
1
Yes a pengiun it is

Use [SIMG] not [IMG] So it resizes the pic to fit the post.

oh thanks for that

It is a fairly basic build the buildings need more depth and detailing to really make them have more character. Also it is slightly strange how 1 house has a deep curve in the roof and all the others have a boring 45 degree angle of stairs. I used to review plots alot on servers and this looks like alot of builds i have seen so the style is definately nothing new but to make your builds original make something stand out about it that makes it much more impressive.
I would recommend watching tutorials on youtube about the basics of building depth detailing organics etc...
some i would recommend:
Detailing/Depth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-347zF ... S82XxWi4pY
Atmosphere: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_oc4SPGp0w
(Organics is very hard and is something you should not worry about but here are some vids to help anyway)
Organics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHIBag_ ... HEHYlLz3AI

I also think that you should visit popular creative servers to get feedback on how you are doing and what u can do to improve this will also help you get inspiration from other builders on the servers.
e.g. Mithrintia, Creative node etc...

Oh forgot to tell you that I was asking people here in PMC if those deep curve roof is better than the 45 degree roofs.

Thank you for giving me a honest advice and suggestions. As a feedback i'll try to watch the videos and make the needed changes that can suite a good build and make the world better Thanks alot.

He's got fine detail and depth. Honestly the style is far too boring though and overused as you said. Also, as a former member of Creative Node, I inform you that the server has actually shut down; the owner went to school and therefor can't be bothered with running it anymore. anyways, Servers that i would suggest would be more like Pwego-insomnia or Sunfury. You'll really get building boosts there.
Anyways i dont see a ton wrong with this build other than the fact that its a bit plain. Try to break from the norm, form your own unique styles.

*Thanks for the good feedback:) and btw download will be up after filling up this project.
@philpres2 I know alot of people will be react like that to the react. After alot of research on nordic builds, their houses have high roofs.
@X_hunter33 - Yup. The roof is alittle bit repititive cause, that's the way nordic people build there houses i guess? But how can I make this better in your opinion?
@bean1008 sure I will use shaders when taking screenshots.

Its not the best but its cool. I suggest not using Shaders to make it look cooler though.
1
I cant see much from the picture but from what i can observe, your building style seems repetitive, at least on this build. What i mean is all the rooftops are the same and oriented the same way. Im not that good at medieval/fantasy stuff, then again i mostly build vehicles and aircrafts, but that seemed to stick out alot for me. It does look good though.
1
if i could steal that and put it in my game, i would.
1
YEAH
1
I really like it, but the tops of the roofs don't look right. Maybe try making them a bit flatter and making the end a bit more curved.
1
They look fine for the style he is doing, doing them your way would be out of place and look terrible, think his style is great if he is going for a olde look or a steampunk(kinda) look.
1
@ItsGoldNotBudder, Same here!
1
It's way better than anything i can build.
1
Me too

oh you guys!
