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.


Y'all miss me? :3

Build meeting 108: We worked more on terraforming! Didn't do a whole lot, since Birb and I had to leave really early on, but it be like that sometimes. It's ok though, because this next build meeting, we actually did get quite a lot done!

Build meeting 109: We continued terraforming, focusing on two areas in particular: the right end of the lower residential district, and the ceiling of the top floor of the whole KV cave itself. The right end of the lower residential district had its entrance to the hydraulic system that leads to the surface decorated (#ThankYouBasedRedleaf) and the cave itself was shaped more towards that end to make it look less like a box. (#ThankYouBasedBirb)

The top floor of the KV finally had the rest of its stalactites pasted in (#ThankYouBasedMe), and terraforming to make them look more natural has begun. Ideally, I'd like to start working lighting into the top floor next build meeting, as well. In addition, I've also marked 5-6 areas in the KV top floor ceiling for potential dripstone patches, if we still want to go forward with that design choice.

The build meeting is still happening as I type this, but I'd really rather get this typed out sooner than later so I won't heckin' forget it again goddamnit--

The trailer has been uploaded. Thank you for trusting koko bc it finally happened. Check it out here!

Next building meeting is on February 19th, 2022 4pm EST.

I DIDN'T FORGET TO WRITE THE SUMMARY YOU FORGOT TO WRITE THE SUMMARY

Happy New Year! In this build meeting, we basically exclusively worked on terraforming in the Kappa Village; this is a good time to reiterate that the KV Isn't going to be getting any bigger. What we have is what we have! Benji and Birb (and qsc?) started working on the area under the boardwalk, making it look more natural with the brand shiny new 1.18 blocks, while the rest of us worked on shaping out the cave ceilings like how qsc outlined a few build meetings ago.

We did this for a couple of hours before everyone had to go. It be like that sometimes.

I ACCIDENTALLY DELETED MY BUILD MEETING NOTES LETS GOOOOOOOOOO

here's what I remember:
  • We started by continuing to iterate over the light pole designs started last build meeting, and landed on 2 particular designs; one for the shopping district, and the other to eventually use in lower residential. The shopping district lights were (mostly) placed, and the LR lights are still pending.
  • Benji terraformed a corner of the cave by the bath house. Based benji.
  • QSC came online and started marking the cave ceiling for The Big Terraform: Sea lanterns mark where stalactites go, Pumpkins mark where stone needs to be taken away to help with variation, and glowstone marks where stone needs to be added to help with variation (skup pls dont come for me if these are wrong gomenasorry I forgor )
  • on god the KV isn't going to get any bigger. I mentioned this when LR was added but I'm documenting this for the record if KV gets bigger strike me dead. thank u.
  • Birb and I had to leave a little early again. it be like that sometimes.

The Big Terraform started today. The roof of the lower residential area in KV has been raised by around 6 blocks at the highest point, and the rest of the tunnel has been mostly adjusted accordingly. Because of funny voxel shenanigans with doing so, a stand and part of the terrain that surrounded it was destroyed beyond repair near the back of the shopping district on the left side of the city hall platform (great time to mention that undoing with voxel is still broken), which resulted in us having to wipe that area clean and make plans to rebuild something else in its place.

The build meeting lasted around 2 and a half hours! \o/

We began with some introductions since we had some new helpers on board, and we showed off the school interior that I, Nick, and Alorai worked on, as well as the tram station + Kappa Mines entrance chamber that I, Nick, Skup, and Luna had been working on.

After that, we finished all interior work in the lower residential district (hopefully, god willing) and worked on some terraforming leading up to the mines to make the lower residential area look less like a box. We also removed the hotel in favor of building a town hall in its place, and we moved up the terrain it was to be built on so we could further terraform the cave the lower residential district is built in.

Birb and I could only stay for 2 hours, but there's a nonzero chance the build meeting lasted longer.

All the stuff that koko usually says \o/

America.

Birb and I were in charge of this one! During the building meeting, Nick showed his builds for the Halls of Sun and Moon in the Lunar Capital. They are essentially identical except for some color changes, but are both fairly sizable builds.We also discussed the fact that most builds in the Lunar Capital are due for a size change, one way or another.

After that, we worked on the Kappa Village caves, raising the ceiling of the top floor to make it less cramped vertically, and finally (mostly) finished terraforming it altogether; QSC and I have already begun to plot out where houses in the residential part of the Kappa village are going to go.

Soon :tm: we will have several plots for these houses topside for people (*cough* temps *cough*) to design the interiors for these houses; only small portions of these houses are visible from the outside, making the focus of these builds be towards the interiors, rather than the exteriors. Don't worry too much about the houses being too big in terms of length(???) as these are being built into the cave walls and have lots of space to work with. However, each plot will have a (relatively) much smaller height limit and an even smaller width limit. If this proves to be too bad to work with, we can talk about replotting the houses.



Dear Katrix,

ur doing great and we believe in you
do a big good

love, birb and purp <3
