Summary for the 64th Gensokyo v3 Building Meeting 03/07/2020:*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.
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.
During the days between the last building meeting and this one, several locations were being prepped/completed in NeoGensokyo for the trailer.
The Giant Toad's pond has been fully completed, the SDM roof finally got texturized, the Moriya shrine was built and ported in, The Ancient City has gotten
Cherry Stone's added to it, Eientei is being worked on, The Hakurei Shrine was updated to resemble it's depiction in Wild and Horned Hermit, and the Radio Tower was ported in.
Now moving on to Today's building meeting! \o/:This was a chill meeting. When it started I shared the Status of every build for the trailer. I will share it here after I finish the summary. After that I mentioned how Remi, Kaktrix, and I make a discord group chat discussing everything. Basically Remi is planning/posting, Katrix is planning/filming/editing, and I'm planning/building/storyboarding. Until we get every location in a presentable state we will not start filming.
Since this past week as been pretty hectic for a lot of us builders, the filming for the trailer has, surprisingly (lol), been pushed back another week.
With all of that out of the way, Redleaf showed us all his progress of the updated Hakurei Shrine, Dari posted some references for the poltergeist mansion, I showed everyone the finished SDM roof. After we showed and telled we went in and started working on bringing Gensokyo to a presentable state. Redleaf continued working on the Hakurei Shrine, TR updated the outside of Alice's house with new trees, and I continued working on the "big chungus" aka the Human Village and Canal of Willows. We lasted about 2 hours before we called it a day.
Now for a progress report of all the trailer locations:Hakurei Shrine: Remi and I talked about adding the living area behind the shrine. And Redleaf decided to give it and update, He is currently working on the living area as seen in Wild and Horned Hermit.
Forest of Lagic: Other than just trees we have the mushroom circle and the Radio Tower, Since this map won't be the final iteration of Gensokyo 3, Nick just slapped the Radio tower in somewhere
Marisa's House: Still haven't gotten to fancying the area around it up a bit. But for the most part it's done, I asked Nucc about revamping the interior since it's still old and plain, we'll have to wait for Birb and Purp to be less busy to do that since they also worked on it originally.
Alice's House: The area around her house has been updated and the interior is well done.
Kourindou: Exterior and Interior still good. Still ready for the trailer
Human Village: We pasted lots of trees last building meeting, and I added a bit more around the other side of the river this building meeting. Other than that we need the area around the Human Village to look more...lived in. Making things like poor people houses, farm stuff, porting in the buildings (logcutter, Kappa shed thingy, etc.) outside of the village into NeoGenso
The Canal of Willows: Izayoi finished it, I also pasted a bit more trees on the other side of the canal near the bamboo forest today. Other than that we need to do a simple replacenear for the trees Izayoi made because she used regular logs and not the new 6 sixed ones.
Eientei: Still hasn't been ported in and the outside decorations still aren't done. Izayoi helped me get by starting it while I was working on pasting/fixing up the Toad's Pond, but she hasn't finished it yet.
Spring Path: All ready for the trailer \o/
The SDM: The area around the gate is all finished, and Nick made the orb things outside of it,I added Meiling's hut and made the entrance area less barren (I just added some grass). I took one for the team and texturized the roof. With that the SDM is ready for the trailer.
Voile's Histoutensoku Fighting Stage: So far we just need to add more of those suspended scaffolds near the books and more lights. I need to talk to Karu about this and see if there's any else other than that.
Aki Farm: We just need a little more autmun trees around the area to hide how barren everything is around the farm lol
Youkai Mountain: (facing west) The NorthEast side of the mountain will be shown. The Waterfall and the Suwa Lake will also be shown, I already talked about adding trees around the waterfall. Nick has made the Moriya Shrine in mach speed, and it's already pasted in. We didn't plan on having/showcasing the Moriya when we originally made the trailer list, but I guess we can show a bit of it?
The Giant Toad's Pond: Pasting things in the Youkai Forest/Forest of Lagic is pain bc I'm laggy and there's so many trees so you have to get rid of them and then put them back so the area doesn't look ugly. But ya boi did it, it's all ready for the trailer! \o/
Ancient City: Phantom liked the Cherry Stone idea I brought up with him and has started working on it. IDK how much he has gotten done, bc I haven't been in the Ancient City in a while. Cherry Stones or not I still feel like this location is good.
Higan/ShikiEiki's Court: Finished and all ready for the trailer.
That's all for today! \o/
