Summary for the 30th Gensokyo v3 Building Meeting 9/15/2018:
*ctrl+c* *ctrl+v*
Communication is key, during the breaks we have between these meetings talk to others about projects, work on things etc. etc.
Since the Forest of Magic terraforming is basically done. I think it's safe to port in buildings that is located in the forest of magic.
However that is for the Forest of Magic only.
Pro-tip for terraforming so you're not suffering. Just terraform the area around the place you're porting in. Saves more time, saves more lives.


This was an actual building, building meeting. TRXD and Eiburine lead most of the pack with the SDM garden. We spent and good 5 hours planning and discussing the sections of the garden and what things we should have and what should go where.

Meanwhile Katrix worked on the new Youkai Mountain waterfall and ported in the new Youkai Mountain in NeoGensokyo. There was an error in the scaling so he smoothed out the edges where the old and new youkai mountain met.

The deadline for the Gensokyo Trailer builds has been extended to September 30th, make sure to have them finished and reported on the forums. In this thread!

Next building meeting is on October 6th, 2018 4PM EST.

I'm also planning another building day on the 29th and 30th of September but nothing has been set in stone yet, so please wait the following week for more information.

Recap of The Building Bash:

We spent 2 whole days working on projects we wanted showcased for the Gensokyo v3 trailer.
The SDM Gardens, The outside of the Human Village, and Ancient City have made quite a bit progression.
Remi says he could film the trailer this Saturday (October 6th, 2018). (Keep in mind this date can change)

You have one more week, so please take more time to have your builds in a presentable manner. \o/


We will be continuing the Build Meeting tradition by having them on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of every month. Next building meeting is October 6th, 2018 4pm EST.

The way this building meeting started up pretty weak (similar to the state of the server). We hung out around the Human Village in neogensokyo and worked on the farms. The server kept being garbage and we couldn't really look at and discuss the things that have been worked on.

So I'll give a TL;DR:
  • The SDM interior has been worked on, we're on the fourth floor(?) now.
  • The SDM garden has been worked on, the front of the garden is nearing completion.
  • The outside of the Human Village finally has farms, the Human Village as a whole is also nearing completion.
  • Work has also been made on the Ancient City.
Since the server is still weak, and the Gardens/farms aren't done either.remi couldn't do much filming today, so just continue to build and Remi will slowly working on recording in the coming days/weeks.

Next building meeting is on October 20th, 2018 4PM EST.

This building meeting was starting sipping milk and circling me. Trying to get me out of afk hell.

After I had risen from those depths we headed over to the sdm where we looked at the wip of the sdm 4th floor built by Nuclearblt. We talked about expanding the bridge connecting Remi's room and the Clocktower by width.

We then looked at and talked about the progress of the front of the sdm gardens. Talked about plans for the back of the garden.

Which will probably consist of the following:
  • having an entrance to the lower section of the kitchen
  • sheds
  • laundry area with clothes lines
  • maze

After that we went over to the Human Village in neo gensokyo and talked about the areas outside of the village and where the poorer residents of the village live, and what their houses look like.
Think of sengoku/edo period houses but poorer. Here's a link that talks about sengoku period houses.
I also added Lunar Capital and Human Village refs and canon information in the google docs. Here are the links again for anyone who needs them. (Folder) and (Main Spreadsheet).

The trailer has been postponed until we update to 1.13. Staff talked about it a bit and thought it would be best to have the trailer accompany the hype of new survival.

Next building meeting is on November 3rd, 2018 4PM EST.

We started off by looking at Remi's side of the garden TR had the idea of adding statues in her side of the garden. We also had a small discussion on 1.13 and 1.14. Would it be good to update to 1.13? Or wait even longer to 1.14 where there are many more new blocks.

After that Karu showed her idea of a seamless teleport to the Voile library. Basically when you're in the regular library there is an area and if you step over a teleportation line. (Not sure how to explain it) You will get teleported to a copy of the library (which is outside of gensokyo) which will lead to Voile. Since the surface of majority of gensokyo is close to bedrock so there's not much space to dig down. (About 20-40 blocks to bedrock)

TR is trying out world painter to make the Ice Mesa in Makai he showed a beta version of it in discord. It can be found in the Gensokyo Project chat room.

Also! Do you want to join in on the building meetings but can't because your schedule doesn't line up well? Well isn't today your lucky day! Because Cyros will be holding his own building meetings for those who can't participate in the ones I host! Click here for more information!

Summary for Cyros's 1st Gensokyo v3 Building Meeting 11/6/2018:

Communication is key, during the breaks we have between these meetings talk to others about projects, work on things etc. etc.
Most of the projects in my meetings will be different from Koko's meetings, but that doesn't mean we can't coordinate the same project between both meetings!


So I started off explaining the entirety of Touhou 11's cave system which starts at the Dank Blowhole all the way down to the Hell of Blazing 420's.
  • Stage 1 area is half completed, will need help terraforming the area between Kisume and Yamame's fight area. Yamame needs a home. Let's prevent her from being homeless.
  • Stage 2 caves will be mostly diorite stone layer, and Parsee's bridge will be worked on by Kritter and I.
  • Stage 3 was only shown as it is the Ancient City project being run by PhantomNerifes. If you want to help here, you must ask Phantom first. This is where the Andesite stone layer of the caves starts.
  • Stage 4 needs Chireiden to be worked on, and is also where the second relative teleport will be located.
  • Stage 5 is the supposed ruins of old hell and I will need help conceptualizing it. The Granite layer starts around here.
  • Stage 6 is both where the Subterranean Sun is, as well as the nuclear reactor that will take you up to Youkai Mountain.
For the most part, Chireiden and the Subterranean Sun have been worked on this day with the Chireiden front entrance being started and the Subterranean Sun looking completely badass (Check the Genso Projects channel on Discord to see its beauty).

Next meeting will be focusing on setting up the Makai world and TRXD will explain the projects that will be going in.

Next building meeting is on December 4th, 2018 5PM(GMT-4).

We started off by looking at Remilia's part of the garden at the SDM. Her side is a sculpture garden. While Flandre side is more flora. The front side of the garden is almost done with!

We then looked at some rooms that was incomplete inside the SDM. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floor is almost done. The last one after that is the 4th floor, Remi's room, and the clock tower.

After that the building meeting turned into a building session. \o/

We started this building meeting off as a quartet. Nobody had anything really new to show. So we messed around.

We did eventually get to some productive things. Did a bit of sdm and voile work.

Discussed how to keep things canon, but also how to make it appealing to the viewer.

Since this was going to be a short building meeting, we turned Gensokyo into Gensnowkyo for the holidays! Temp builders/ Builders please feel free to decorate Gensokyo only. (Bc it's one of the worlds we generally have a back up for)
I think Aka_Izayoi will be working on the Christmas Tree again this year, if anyone was interested in working on it. \o/
I left some shulker boxes filled with decorations in the front of the Hakurei Shrine.

Other than that, I would like to thank everyone who attended these meetings and worked on Gensokyo this year! Relax for the next 2 weeks and enjoy the Holidays! I'll see all of you in 2019!!

War never changes.

After having a blood bath in the shulker arena we started the first building meeting of the year!

There wasn't much of anything done during the Holiday break (as expected). So there wasn't anything new to show.
I did have a couple of things to talk about.

The Christmas Tree and Gensnowkyo will not be up for long (It'll be taken down soon... hopefully) during the month of January so if there's anything someone sent to you that you like please be sure to take them and put them in a chest in creative flats.

We also talked about New Year's Resolutions. The main one is Build or Die. A couple of others are:
  • Finish the SDM
  • Tidy up the inside of the Human Village
  • Work on Lunar Capital some more
  • Get Heaven started

We also think that heaven would be better as it's own world rather than being relative teleport.

Announcement: I've been wanting to talk about this for past building meetings but wasn't sure if it was ok to do. Today I finally mentioned it to those who are not staff! The lead builders and other staff members have discussed remaking the Gensokyo 3 map. Nothing is set in stone yet, but there are ideas and a general plan for it. More information will come later as we discuss it more.

Talked a bit more about sticking with canon but still making it look appealing.
That was about it for this one. We are still calibrating our minds since the year has changed.
