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.


In this building meeting we started on Gensnowkyo!

We did the usual things that you would expect in Gensnowkyo which is leaving snow all over the ground, making the tree, decorating Gensokyo with festive things. This time however Gensnowkyo is in NeoGensokyo rather than Gensokyo 2. While we didn't finish the tree expect it to be pasted in soon.

We did this for about 3 hours until we called it a day.
This also makes the last building meeting for the year! Thank you to everyone who contributed to Gensokyo! We did a lot this year let's keep this energy up for next year!


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

Next building meeting is on January 1st, 2022 4pm EST.

In this building meeting Birb and Purp had to leave a little early, however before they left everyone worked on a bullet point list of what could be done between and during the building meeting(s).

The things on the to do list were to:
  • Rough up the cave pillars
  • Find things to place in the designated areas marked with sea lanterns
  • Putting machinery in the place with the Kappa mines entrance
  • Finishing the town hall
  • Finishing the astalfo room
  • Add stands on the board walk if it was expanded
  • Finish the basement of a house wriggle made
  • Finish the tunnel that goes under the town hall
  • Stock the building by the tunnel
  • Fill in the space by the tunnel
  • Figure how we should get locks to the surface to work

There were also a couple of notes on what could be done to make the place feel more alive, and the solution to that was to add more greenery to the lower level of the Kappa Village.

After all that was planned we got to work. Muranue made lamps by the food court, Nick started working on the facade of the town hall, Benji decorated the astalfo room. Iku worked on creating a way to the surface from the lower canal of the village.

We continued work until we decided to call it quits after a couple of hours.

This building meeting marks the 100th one we've had since we started in January of 2017! \o/ Thank you to everyone who made this possible!

In today's building meeting Kappa Village was given tweaks to it's design. And we also got to play with invisible item frames. And normally we try not to work on interior decorations (think of furnishing houses), but due to Kappa Village being worked on for so long, it was decided interiors would be worked on during this build meeting to help speed up the process of this build.
We kept up with this until we eventually lost steam and called it a day.

So after about 3 hours of building, the building meeting came to a close! \o/

In the days between this building meeting we continued work on Kappa Village. Purp plotted down more places for potential buildings to go in empty areas in the village.

In today's building meeting we examined one of the plots near the train station. We didn't know what kind of building it could be so for the time being we removed it for the time being. Mori did recommend a "tool shop" so it was decided that one would go near the train station and hotel. In the meantime Iku was building the tunnel where the tram would go through. I also worked on a Pawn shop. I made a Pawn Shop due to a path just death ending with nothing nearby. Other than that we just vibed and worked on builds. Nothing too notable happened this meeting.

After about 3 hours of building, the building meeting came to a close! \o/

In the days between this building meeting we finally showcased the trailer we've spent so much time on! Thank you again to anyone who has worked on Genso 3. You're the reason that this has happened! I'll link the trailer below check it out! Other than that work for the Kappa Village continued.

In today's building meeting we look at Benji's train station design he made. We all liked it so we ported it in. After that we had to terraform the land around the train station to make it fit in better. As we continued to terraformed, we worked on the bridge that loops back into the bigger houses in the lower section of Kappa Village. As we worked on connecting the bridge to that area we terraformed along the way.

Purp went around the lower shopping district and filled in any empty areas with plots. I continued on the bathhouse. The first floor is slowly coming together. Once I finish with the first floor I will continue to the next.

Finally around the time things were slowing down Purp noticed there was one empty room in the larger houses in the lower section of the village so Purp and I quickly filled that in with gadgets that fit it's theme.

And then finally, the building meeting came to a close! \o/

In the days between this building meeting we (to no one's surprise) continued work on Kappa Village. Progress to the Bathhouse and the secret area was made, furnishing for empty buildings was also completed.

In today's build meeting we looked at the re-built house of Rumia in NeoGenso. Redleaf, Purp and Mori re-made her house utilizing the new 1.16 blocks. For those who didn't know Rumia's house used to be a little hole underground and was quite hard to find in NeoGenso. Therefore it was remade to be more noticeable and to give her a proper home, because her old one felt a little like a meme.

After that we headed back to Kappa Village where Redleaf also showed off his finished Book store in the lower shopping district in Kappa Village near the canal. Once we finished looking at the newest builds we decided to split into 3 separate groups. Group A worked on the trains for the train station. Group B worked on terraforming the area the train station would go. And Group C continued the construction of the hotel we left as a WIP in a past build meeting.

It was a pretty productive meeting that lasted the usual 3 hours 1/2, before we all called it quits.
List of builds confirmed for the trailer:
  • Hakurei Shrine (of course)
  • Bits of the Forest of Magic
  • Marisa/Alice/Kourindou
  • The Human Village
  • The SDM
  • Voile's Hisoutensoku Fighting Stage
  • Aki Farm
  • Youkai Mountain
  • The Toad Pond
  • ShikiEiki's Court
  • Eientei
  • Ancient City
  • Spring Path
  • Canal of Willows
  • The Floor of Chireiden (lol)


The trailer has been filmed. Thank you for trusting me bc it finally happened. Editing is complete we are now trying to find the best date to post it. \o/

Next building meeting is on August 21st, 2021 4pm EDT.
