So I've had an interest in Dystopian settings lately and decided to give it a try in blockland. What I've created so far is not too much but it's still some stuff. Keep in mind that I was heavily influenced by "1984" and City 17 from Half Life 2 so if anything I state is similar to either of the two, it probably is copied. On the day I created this thread I realized that I needed some help in building the city so what I've put together is my progress so far and a general idea of the theme of the city so that I could attract some builders who are interested. IF YOU ARE then you you can private message me.
Once Again: Any help is appreciated. I am in need of builders especially. Just message me if you're interested or just join my server if you see it. I usually host after 3 PM (PST).
Any tips, criticism, or advise is appreciated.
There is no official lore to the build but I'll worry about that later. Once I'm complete with this build I hope to maybe use it for a Dystopian RP server idk.
To do list and ideas (Includes lore, setting, uniforms, jobs, anything related to the build.)
- Replace JVS doors with default doors.
- Revamp civilian quarters
- Create lore:
(anything useful goes here)
- Make the rest of the buildings which have interiors
- Spawn point could be a metro station similar to the beginning of HL2.
- Main form of civilian transportation will be bus probably.
- Transportation for police and military is just military stuff.
- WHAT IS TIME PERIOD?
- Chemical showers in bathrooms?
- Some form of incentive other than fear to get civilians to work (im going to use drugs like Soma from Brave New World).
- Jobs:

Here are some photos on my progress.
Here is the overview of the city. As you can see, it is devided into Sectors (or Districts, whatever..) where each one is divided into specific categories. For example, Sector 1 may be dedicated to Government where the head of the City creates Propaganda (kind of like Minitrue from 1984.)
Here is a rooftop view from one of the several buildings in the city. The structures on the edge of the city do not have an interior as that would take time and also lag alot.
These are the civilian quarters/barracks. I plan to put at least 4 or 5 through the whole city because it could occupy some space and could serve as flexibility for people to choose where they want an apartment in (ironic because they dont get flexibility). I know the building looks very crude because of the mass amounts of 4x4 cubes used in it. This was the first thing I built when starting the map and I hope to change it soon so it uses less blocks. There are also 3 floors excluding the lobby, where each floor has 3 rooms and a restroom.
The rooms inside the apartments. They are all the same and contain nothing aesthetically pleasing. I plan to put TV's in them as well a little bit of lighting soon.
The bathrooms. Not very sanitary since there are no sinks.
