Summary for the 28th Gensokyo v3 Building Meeting 5/5/2018:
*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.

We started off by looking at the concept of Heaven Birb worked on. She made a layout for the desire land. We looked at it and the signs accompanying it while trying our best to understand with Birb being dead.

We then visited the the SDM. The SDM has gained lots of progress. It now has a roof and exterior. It's not finished yet but it's much better than what it was. A copy of the SDM was moved to a remote location because I wanted to remove most of the interior since it was making work for the exterior too difficult. Work is being done there as of right now because I wanted to keep the original safe.

Again we are preparing to make a teaser for Gensokyo. Click this link for more information.

NEXT BUILDING MEETING: May 19th, 2018 4PM EST.

We started off by looking at the changes made to the SDM that Yuki did. She worked on the library and the balcony area. This was a nice addition but the SDM is still a W.I.P so the changes that were made are will not be official. She also made a roof for it but it's a bit too eastern for the SDM.

We visited the Makai City prototype me and TR worked on. I don't know what color palette to used for it so I asked for suggestions, a more stone look was suggested. The Makai city will be based off of Italian Villas.

We talked about Heaven a bit more about the building style of it. It seems it will be a normal Japanese building style.

We have made quite a bit of progress on Gensokyo to the point we can make a teaser. If there's an area you have worked on that can be used in a video or a picture. Comment below so Katrix can add it to the list!

It was a lit 5 person building meeting. We looked at the new additions to the Makai Project. There is now a concept of the Ruins of Vina and some trees added for that area. We discussed the size for Makai. Right now it seems like it'll be around 2000x1320 blocks.

Katrix clarified that Heaven can be built on flat terrain and can be ported over when we actually have the floating islands made.

We started by viewing a new mini model for Lunar Capital. The model is bigger and more in tune with canon material. If anyone wants a word document of my summary/notable information of Cage in Lunatic Runagate. Please look in the Gensokyo Projects section of our discord. I made this to help people quickly get up to date on the lore of the Moon/Lunar Capital.

TRXD would like help creating trees/rocks/vegetation/etc to help bring Makai to life, and to help Katrix to create the world so that the Makai project gets moving.

The SDM is somewhat on hold, since the current leads on it are busy/taking a break. It is expected that work will mostly continue during the summer.
However Righto/Mirai_Wakahisa will continue building on it with my guidance. However we shall not be making important decisions for the SDM.

Since we have building meetings on the first and third Saturday of every month. We will be having a 2 week break. This will be a good time for those who are in school/work/etc. to get things done.

We spent this meeting talking about Lunar Capital. Plans are to redo/update/and actually make the interior for a lot of buildings.

The Council building needs to be updated in details. Since it was built in 2014. Too many plan/flat walls and floors. Furniture is basic.
The Palace building feels more like a hotel than a palace for Tsukuyomi. There will be a huge renovation for it.
Temple of the gods interior is just empty.
Apartments need to be redone.
The mini model of the Lunar Capital will be reworked.

Basically lots of things need to be worked on. Help is always welcomed, especially if you're pretty good at interior and exterior.
It doesn't matter if you can't build ideas/help planning layouts are welcomed. \o/

We started off by taking a look at the plans and mini model for Heaven, which is being lead by wanderingaviator, and will be the new community build. The plans are well researched but quite lengthy so I suggest looking at the plans ingame, because it explains things better than I could. Plans and mini model can be found (-3357,331) in creative flats.

Afterwards we looked at the new youkai mt. This is most likely going to be the last big update for it, before we re-terraform the land and port it into neogensokyo.
Again it can be seen by doing /mvtp NewYoukaiMountain. This command however, is only available for temp builders and higher.

Lastly we visited the sdm again to look at a beautiful yet phat wok that Miraito made. We also talked about the sdm kitchen he is currently working on.

The v3SDM actually has a warp now it's: /warp tempsdm. Our days of doing /warp temphumanvillage to get to the sdm build site is over.

In unrelated news the sit plugin will be making a comeback when the server restarts. \o/ hopefully...

We started this building meeting off by sharing thoughts and opinions on the SDM with Righto (aka miraito/mirai) who has done quite a lot of work on the SDM. \o/
(unlikesomeothers*cough*remi*cough*)
We gave opinions on the exterior. The stone slabs at the entrance are a bit too much. It's too bright and contrasts with the color palette, it is best done in a bit more subtle way.
The exterior wall for the library and the ball room are both nice, and so we asked Righto to try to combine the 2 designs.
We also gave thoughts on the SDM Kitchen.

We checked out Meiling's hut made by Laeva_Steinn.

We had a small discussion on what the difference between the SDM build and the Human Village Community build.
Basically if something is a community build (i.e. Human Village) people are free to work on it when the lead(s) of the build is not present but as long as it's nothing huge.
Builds like the SDM is where you wouldn't completely change things, you'd build examples of things off to the side and show the lead(s) whenever they are present.
That is unless you have the permission to freely edit things from the lead(s) of the project.


We had a very serious discussion on the bat carpet in the SDM. The entire fate of Gensokyo lies in that carpet.

Lunar Capital talk, there is a warp to it now /warp templunarcapital Nick gave the run down that some buildings need to either be redone or updated. For more in depth information please talk to nickmaster00 (forums) or Nicolas_Akushi(MC, discord).

We started this building meeting by reviewing the Lunar Capital and it's stage of progression. It needs some renovation with newer blocks and some rebuilding due to new canon material. That said if you are interested in working on Lunar capital please talk to Nick (mc: Nicolas_Akushi, discord: Nicolas Akushi, forums: nickmaster00).
He'll give you the run down. If you are particularly good at interior building this is a good opportunity for you!

We then looked at the updated terraforming for the bamboo forest river, had a small discussion on whether the bamboo should be wool or harden clay. It was decided that we would keep wool.

We took a look at the Human Village, the terraforming for the farm is complete all that is left is deciding where exactly the farms and the buildings outside the wall would go.

We had a discussion on the 2nd main build for this year. Which will be Heaven as voted by yc members. And Wanderingaviator has decided to be the lead of it. We will be waiting for her plans for it.

Purplefinatic also expressed interest on leading the outside world. There has been work on it but it is unknown if there is a lead on the project.
