Alright... small update on this one. Haven't had much time to play this last year, so not all that much changes on the building itself. Came up with some ideas for surroundings n stuff, but nothing quite final for now.

Let me know what you think. Suggestions are much appreciated!

  Have something to say?

hey there!:)

I really like the building‘s overall structure, it is very intricate and makes it look so lifelike. Great project! For the exterior you could build a forecourt with a fountain and an approaching road into the woods or maybe add an overgrown/ abandoned garden ...?


The towers on each side somehow remind me of the German Bundestag, I honestly got no idea, what this one is based on :D
Maybe half a point for my guess? :D

I‘d love to see mooore projects!

kind regards

You're right; is see also a bit of the Reichstags-Building (the Bundestag is the parliament - the building is the Reichstag :D )

Thank you very much! And thanks for your suggestions!

But.. on the Bundestag you're sadly wrong. Blenheim Palace it is.

I'd like to upload some more of my stuff... but my HDD gave in a while ago and i didn't make any backups (shame on me x.x) so I'm stuck with just one other project I started and that one's even less in progress than this.

First of all I thing we need to talk abour your "Exterior is kinda...". Anything else than great or awesome would be lie and that are no word that should be hidden by "..." :D.

Okay this building should really don't stand alone there; a few houses, a (dark) forrest or a garden would be nice so it wouldn't stand that deplaced on the first pic but as you are still under construction this may wait.

But back to the building itself. I really like the architekture - remembers me at Warhammer Vampier buildings. Anyone could see on first view that the builder has skill. Even when I am not a fan of any kind of concret you used it very well. I don't think there is anything ot the 'raw building' that needs a change.

Interior; well most of your rooms are huge and the walls, bottom and roof is decorated awesomely but sadly the rooms are empty. There are also a few rooms not even conntected to the other by a flying breaktrough. You asked for tips; well have you something like a story, history or thematic in background? If not try to creat something - it doesn't need to be much but at least anything, because the helps a lot to get on ideas what you could use to fill the rooms with. For example if you use a dark history you could think about tippicly evil rooms like torture chamber, prison,....


Anyways; you already created something wonderfull; be proud of your creation :D - it may only have 5 Dias for the moment but I guess there will be more.

PS: "Blackstone Palace" is a good discriptor for something easy and soulless but it think this build is better that this so try to find some cooler name.

Thank you very much!

Especially for your suggestion about coming up with a lore surrounding the building. Have to do that or I'll probably never come around to finishing it.

About the name... well I didn't know I had to name my creation so I came up with that on the spot. Not very creative when it comes to that. :D I'll try finding something better, lore might help there as well.
