How to Build - A Tutorial (Image Heavy)
Jerkface:
First off: The title is purely to spark your interest.
* This is not saying "This is how to do (Thing), your way is wrong".
It is, however, a good baseline preceding an upload of your build to the gallery on the Blockland forums.
* Is this saying "Don't upload"? No. But it is asking you if you think your build is ready to be called "Finished".
* Why did I make this? Boredom. Also, I'm critical with life. Also also, it's technically a build and I made it, even if it's all red bricks and/or a house with detailing.
Let's Begin, shall we!?

--- Quote ---Remember this? It's a red wall of course. THE red wall of course. Yes, from the above picture. This one, however, has been upgraded. I added a door (le gasp!) and two, count 'em... TWO windows. The things below the windows show that your "wall" can have depth. Go crazy, be creative. It's a cool thing to do, bro.

--- Quote ---After coloring it, you should think about adding more to it. After all, a wall can be walked around, hung from, and pushed over. Consider adding a few more walls. Expand it.

You can DECORATE your build! That's right, you can add things to the front of the build to tell everyone "This is a HOUSE for LIVING in, and is NOT a BATHROOM. A box can be anything. It can even be another box. Make a house, not a box. Use color variations, add details, add extras, add bushes.

--- Quote ---This part is the hardest for people to understand. You can add decoration to the inside as well as the outside of your build. A house is not a home without a bed to have love on. The truth is truthful. Go wild, go crazy, go insane, kill others... but most of all, decorate your living room.

--- Quote ---After all is said and done... make sure you FINISH your build. It's simple. Not hard. Do what you've done, except close the walls, finish the design, build it up. A building shouldn't be bland and reflect your home life... make it interesting like the life you wish you had!

--- Quote ---It sucks, but people check the whole build. Add some crud to the back of it so they won't bitch at you. Look! a dumpster!
--- End quote ---

--- Quote ---I'll stress this point. FINISH THE INTERIOR.
