It looks nice, but looks like its a lot of duplicator.
The castle doesn't really have much unique features and the colours are bland.
Its a good start I guess. If you're looking for inspiration I'd suggest taking a walk around SPO kingdom.

[Im_AFK]

youre right about the duplicator, mostly the build is modular and made up of recurrent parts (rounded towers, intersecting roofs, ect)

for now the colors are placeholders, but im not sure where to go from there just yet

ive taken a stroll around spo kingdom a few times, and find the transition from district to district is nice, something that im wanting to mimic for the town portion:

[Lord Furdle]

That's a nice picture to get inspiration from, but the borders are just a square which looks unrealistic and ugly.
Maybe use the middle rather than the perimeter.

[Sylvanor]

i love defaults!
this is very good s far!
Yeah use a bit less dupe and more varied stuff!

Good luck with it!

"yeah thats nice but look at this" could u guys stop promoting your friends work? I've see those two goddamn builds brought up a hundred times, and as nice as they are they are old news. I'm glad u like it but some people, dwaif in particular, don't want to build stuff that looks like that. he's trying to make it look more abstract, more like an old computer game.. I know you're just trying to help him out, but I for one am really tired of the same style and love what dwaif is making

sorry to go on a rant but I think it needed to be said

[Farad]

keep your own style and shield your eyes from old builds that have become mainstream style

[Caribou]

It looks great, keep up the fantastic work!

[Sylvanor]

woo! WOW!!

super original!

[sir dooble]

That's a really striking and bizarre build, but it's also very pretty.

And thank you for taking new pictures on a different ground. I could hardly make out the white castle from the white floor in the first ones. :P


I love the upside down tower in the archway too.

[McZealot]

looks great but i would recolor the walls. having a pure white wall all over the place makes it difficult to see well. i would make it a darker color or put spots of color on it, like darken the windows or something
