The Outside World

Alright, for those who wonder, yes, I want to add this to the actual builds. What I want to create is the Outside World. It may not be much, but here is a reference.



It is canon as far as I know, so I hope not to be kicked around in this park. So here's what I gathered:

It is not a part of Gensokyo. It is actually the 'real world.' The outside world is pretty much at an advanced state. It is surrounded by... rock-desert-thing. So what we need are big buildings, ya know, something that's advanced. This may be the most advanced that we may ever do because of all the advances. Then we need to put it in a place filled with sand-rock stuff. Possibly a flat land modified to be filled with sand instead of grass.

To be honest, that's all I got. This may be my first time participating in an actual build, assuming you are going for it.

Yes. Lets try and create ALL of Japan to go around Gensokyo. and then... THE WORLD!

... I don't know if that was real or sarcastic, but I lol'd at that. But it can just be a little town in the middle of the rock-sand-desert.

This may be something for another time, where we can add all the seihou/non-gensokyo areas. just by leaving the border. This should be priorized second, after gensokyo is done. :)

Prioritize the rest of Gensokyo, yes, but I don't see any harm in others (non-staff) trying out some ideas and helping out by starting on non-prioritized builds.

Wonderweiss, no guarantees but you're free to attempt to make some models/example/idea builds somewhere in flats for what you imagine it to be like in terms of minecraft. Things like buildings, roads, maybe a rough downscaled layout, etc etc.

Alright guys, since we just had an update, I think now is a fantastic time to begin construction of the Outside World! Now then, just a note, but I know how much you guys hate double posting, but unfortunately, I am going to have to triple post to get in all the pictures.

Now then, screenshots part 1:

Hmm... I'm good at building modern buildings. I'll help.

Now that that's done, Let's get on with the facts. I've gathered more info. Apparently, there was a mansion in the outside world. Who did it belong to? None other than Count Prismriver. Next, of course, there is the barrier. Gensokyo will not be there at first. But once the border is crossed... nothing changes. Except now youkai stalk you. If you survive, you get to either live in the human village or meet the miko and she will safely take you back to the Outside world. It will feel like it was all just a dream. As a matter of fact, you won't even notice you crossed the border.

Therefore, in minecraft, there will be a forest maze. If you cross the border, you will be warped to gensokyo. And we should also add something to the shrine that will take you to outside world. As for the Prismriver mansion, or Poltergeist, there will be a section of town set off for the mansion. What there will be in the remains is a large patch of dirt and a book in the center telling the tale of the Prismrivers and a bunch of superstitions about walking their territory.

It would probably be best to make the maze out of trees. If you space them correctly, you can get a very natural looking forest, but still have a maze.
