I dont want to debate to much on this, but ill put my opinion here so that people can read it:
- patchwork towns are not really pretty; i originally went for a rather plain neutral design for the builds, and although its got codes and norms, it can be adapted to different buidings (take the staff houses a examples).
- if its gonna be a town people are not gonna stay in, the least we can do is make it pretty. Pretty things make people dream, feel creative, feel inspired...
-If need be we can cut down on NPC housing to accomodate for a smaller end surface, but cramming all buildings would make it feel wrong.
- if you feel we really need more diversity, change the player housing roof colours to a tint lighter than the staff housing, but keep the architecture. If this is to be a town, there cant be that many architectural differences between houses, it doesnt make sense. You find differences in cities (take Sakura city for example),but this is still a small town.
So why is everything samey people ask? Simply put, no-one told me not to make it samey when i started ^^', an no-one complained about it then, even though i invited staff to give their opinion on several occasions. And samey is good, there's nothing bad with it all in my opinion.
Now since i feel a storm brewing here, ill pop by on the server more often these next few weeks so that people can talk to me directly if need be, cause this post should be more about general queries and big info rather than detail banter.( again all my opinion, and if the majority of voters choose to go the other way, ill follow, thats democracy ).
And i put smilleyz because without them my post sounds like a blatent b*tchy rant (which isnt my intention) and we need to brigten this mood! Rejoice! We are building stuff together again!
