I dislike this idea. People should be able to learn on their own and have their own unique design, rather then without any work, just read an article about how to build something good.

I've been playing this game for a damn long time, and I've seen the following happen: every time someone comes up with a sweet idea, people take that idea, and recreate it with their own unique spin on things.  I remember when people never built houses with tiled floors, or when the first (somewhat iconic) barstool was made.  These are sort of standard features these days.  Or different arch patterns for cathedral windows.

All I'm trying to say is that everyone's stolen something, or seen something on a server and given their own take on the idea.  I'm no different, and if you play multiplayer you can't be much different either; it's hard to help doing it.  I don't think anyone's aiming for this to be some kind of building rubric, and I don't think anyone could make one even if they wanted to.  But a compendium of good ideas, well, that sounds like a pretty good idea to me.

I've walked past this building on the way to school/work over the past 2 years, and I see it out the windows of the studio.  You've done it justice, which is really rare.  Well done!

The city build you guys have up is really impressive.  I'm not as sharp of a builder as I was, but expect an app from me soon!

why'd you turn down beer, bro?

stuff, man, it's beer.  This guy obviously has a good time all the time because he is literally beer, and you are a square for refusing him.  Square enough to be... a blockhead.

I remember playing Blockland Mods.... 1.2?  I can't remember how they numbered those, but the second one.  I was so jazzed that they had pink and purple and round bricks and fence bricks, I built this little house on islands of blockland (luquado's map) with some other guy.  Flower bricks and everything, 2 stories.  stuff I felt cool.

Lining up endless rows of spawns for the different kinds of bricks, or repeatedly flying to and from the area... getting worried about going over 3000 or so bricks...

I was 16 at the time.  My how things have changed.

THE RAMPWORK ON THIS PLAIN SUCKS. SERIOUSLY WHO WOULD TAKE A BUNCH OF SINGLE WIDTH 45-DEGREE INVERT SLOPES AND TRY TO PASS THAT OFF AS SOME SORT OF "BUILD"????

oh wait

props on the archwork man, that style looks awesome on big builds like that.  That said, the real challenge with working like that is doing the exterior so that it doesn't look horribly mangled; you kind of copped out there which is a shame.

Though on the other hand, every one of your screenies is either very dark or a detail, so it's kind of tough to really tell what's going on here.  What's your brickcount out of curiosity?

hey, when I play a LAN game with my friends, it always makes us start on 64x64 baseplates.  This is kind of obnoxious and I wish it wasn't the case; is there any way I can disable this?
