Gensokyo V3 Building Meeting!

[KokoButtz]

Summary for the 3rd Gensokyo v3 Building Meeting 2/18/2017:

Communication is key, during the breaks we have between these meetings talk to others about projects, work on things etc. etc.
The main goal is finishing the terrain of Gensokyo. Making walk-able paths, editing rivers. Nothing will be ported in until that is finished. All that jazz blah blah blah

We started off by checking the recent builds. First we went to Cyro's Mausoleum, Then we visited Wriggle's Yukari Train design, Kritter's Alice House, Purp's Mokou house, Shiny's Gabby Club, then to Dari's Nice Boat, Purp's Daiyousei's tree house then lastly Eiburine's Palace of Earth Spirits concept. DO NOT FORGET!!! To the ones who built the things above, don't forget to put the coords and worlds to the Gensokyo Locations Thread.

It was also decided that when the time comes, the SDM build will have it's own thread.

We talked about the Misty Lake size. Wriggle then reminded everyone that in Perfect Memento in Strict Sense it is stated that Misty Lake takes about half an hour to walk around so Misty lake is ok in size. We then Talked about Hakurei and the stairs and how it was too high up. Then We talked about how the water fall at youkai moutain will work.

Lastly since we will be starting on the Human Village next building meeting (3/4/2017) I have made a little Building tips/tricks to help anyone with building. If you have any tips/tricks then do not be afraid to add anything! \o/
Located at -6255 4 -6469 Creative Flats.

Next Meeting will be March 4th, 2017. 4PM EST!

Meeting tomorrow at 4pm EST!

Something something, since it seems people are actually starting to do things for genso, I'll probably start thinking about SDM related things. As in that will probably be the only thing I work on at all lol.

[Redleaf64]

I want to bring up some stuff about Youkai mountain, with the Suwa lake and the waterfall. Does anyone have any ideas on how we should go around about connecting them together in a way that looks nice?

Makai

Ok, I'll give a little rundown on what I said about Makai in the meeting and some of my thoughts and intentions regarding the Makai project. For a while now I've have stated time and again that I wish to work (possibly even lead) most of PC-98 Makai. I leave Hokkai to Cyros as I seem to remember him showing interest in that while I have little interest in Hokkai and UFO builds.
In the meeting, I explained a few of my intentions and views on Makai and how I wish to handle aspects. While I do like the ideas presented in Cyros' overview, I found a lot of which contradicted with several of my ideas.

For example, I was torn on the idea of Makai City and the concept of Pandaemonium. To me, Pandaemonium is not a settlement. It's simply Shinki's palace. The settlement of demons that people think of is what I refer to as Makai City (Mystic Square Stage 3). For Pandaemonium, I wish to present the palace as grand but simple on the outside. Inside, however, I want Pandaemonium to give a feeling of overwhelming power, mystery, and ominous presence. A realm worthy of the goddess who created Makai. One of the references I have, inspired by one of the Mystic Square backgrounds is Spear Pillar from Pokémon (specifically the anime). I will likely provide a prototype of this very room sometime next week to help showcase a few of my ideas on Pandaemonium interior.
Makai City is one that I'm juggling up. My first intention is having Makai City as a pseudo-modern settlement to show a stark contrast from the society of Gensokyo. As you'll notice in my design intentions and in discussions, I wish to present Makai as an uncanny and alien world compared to that of Gensokyo (not necessarily our own world). Makai City is supposed to be an example of this. To showcase the strange demonic world that Shinki created. I do have a concept for one street for this modern Makai City idea. However, it's a little old and I hate the palette choice for it. It works for the build but it looks bad imo. If anyone wishes to see it, ask. I will be taking people round there every now and again over the next few days and when the need arises.

Other ideas and concepts were primarily discussing how I wish to handle the stages of Mystic Square and some aspects of Highly Responsive to Prayers. As I do not wish to have Pandaemonium as a settlement (compared to current Makai), all housings and character homes will either be located in the wild or in/around Makai City. Yuki and Mai I wish to have in the Land of Ice and Snow (Stage 4), Elis either in Makai City or somewhere close to the Ruins of Vina, and Louise having a home in Makai City or somewhere near a portal to Genso. Likewise, Pandaemonium will be a little more secluded being hidden through the Land of Ice and Snow as the player travels through said location from Makai City to reach Pandaemonium.

As for distribution and planning, currently I have only rough figures and ideas on what I want done when and who I wish to bring aboard. Currently, only one project has a solid designation with nuclear at the Fallen Shrine. Other locations have semi-solid designations like Ruins of Vina which will be primarily made by myself and one or two others and Elis' home which will be made solely by me with some possible assistance from friends.
One other thing for certain is that Pandaemonium will be saved for later as it is the second biggest, if not the biggest, PC-98 Makai project.

If anyone has any questions or ideas for Makai, please send them my way. Though I want to see Makai to completion and given justice, I cannot do it alone. Any suggestions and help are appreciated.

Summary for the 2nd Gensokyo v3 Building Meeting 2/4/2017:

We did a quick review of the last meeting. Basically a copy and paste of the last meeting:

Communication is key, during the breaks we have between these meetings talk to others about projects, work on things etc. etc.
The main goal is finishing the terrain of Gensokyo. Making walk-able paths, editing rivers. Nothing will be ported in until that is finished.

We went to recent builds and gave input to on them. The following were: Haunted Mansion, decided since it was a dilapidated build that the windows should be stained glass rather than normal glass, then to Cirno's house, Marisa's House, Kourindou, Human Village school, Hina's house, Kagerou's den.

We went back to neo gensokyo talked more about terrain. We then talked about Makai, TR will elaborate more on that shortly. Then checked out Cyro's Palace of The Earth Spirits concept.

Again, copying and pasting: Anyone can ask for temp builder even if you're not elder, getting it depends on how much staff trusts you. Temp builder is mainly for editing the terrain of Gensokyo. Temp builder can ask for voxel and get it. Ask an admin for it.

Next Meeting will be Feb. 18th at 4pm EST!

[MCSuire]

How do we sign up to join a project? Do we have to ask during a meeting or do we ask in the forums?

[Redleaf64]

Might not be able to make this building meeting so make sure to get a summary up and all I have to say is that terrain is still a big thing to do to plan other things around.

[KokoButtz]

Don't forget building meeting this Saturday at 4pm EST (Feb. 4th).
We have these the first and third Saturday of every month!




yay :3

My server's Ip is mc.Tengucraft.us

I don't have voxel sniper yet but I do have world edit. I also can't keep the server up 24/7 at this point but I'm working on it. If you need help message me on the forums on talk to me on discord when I'm on. I can offer a WE crash course for those who need it.

Summary for the 1st Gensokyo v3 Building Meeting 1/21/2017:

Communication is key, during the breaks we have between these meetings talk to others about projects, work on things etc. etc.

The main goal is finishing the terrain of Gensokyo. Making walk-able paths, editing rivers. Nothing will be ported in until that is finished.

There will be a google doc. spread sheet to make updating Gensokyo locations easier. You'll need to ask to get permission to edit things. Ask Redleaf, KokoNuttz and Karuiko for perms. Even though we have a spreadsheet be sure to also add things in the Gensokyo Locations thread.

Being a lead on a project means you're the main builder of it, people who are working on said project, should talk to them before making any major changes to said project. There can be more than 1 lead on a project. If you do want to make some major changes to it, ask a builder to copy and paste it for you, so you can edit it without changing the original.

Credit varies on what you do, like what you've done on planning and building. Depends on the lead of the build and those who helped build on it to determine if you get credit.

Anyone can ask for temp builder even if you're not elder, getting it depends on how much staff trusts you. Temp builder is mainly for editing the terrain of Gensokyo. Temp builder can ask for voxel and get it. Ask an admin for it.

Shimitty has a server in which you can play with voxel and world edit with. So you don't destroy our server with it.

If you and another person make two of the same location, talk to each other about it.

Next meeting will be Feburary 4th, 4pm EST!

[KokoButtz]

Yes. This thread will be updated with a summary for every meeting.

[Nuclearblt]

Will you be writing a summary of what happened for the people who weren't there?

[KokoButtz]

Building meeting today at 4pm EST! Building room on discord!!!~

[MCSuire]

Eh sometimes I pick the wrong word for stuff. Sue me. o3o

Anyway, it's probably not the project I'd be a huge part of. I don't know much about the... um... god (tries to remember word for it), shit. Architecture? Scenery? Whatever. I don't know much about Touhou-builds. The only places I can think of off the top of my head are SDM, Eientei, whatever Yuyuko's place is called and the Palace of Earth Spirits. And I'm pretty sure there's builders that can do a way better job than I can at those kinds of builds.

I'd like to help with the construction, but I'm not an idea man in this department. Give me orders and put me to work, and then things should run smooth. If you need a good landscaper though, I have some degree of skill in that area.
