I've decided to make seperate topics for the main components of the Community's Tower for the sake of not having too much stuff in a single topic. This topic is going to be focused on the "Residental Discs" that surround the central shaft of the tower.
LINK to Community's Tower MAIN TOPIC:
http://www.opticraft.net/index.php/topic,6624.0.htmlConcerning the poll: I've already chosen a green field-like theme for the North Disc and I wanna know what the community would like to see because, well it's called the "Community's Tower"
Also feel free to suggest new themes to be added to polls! If it isn't a redundant or boring theme I'll add it.
People can vote up to 4 times and change their votes! This may be because when I show pictures, they might not want that anymore. The imagination sees only what it wants to see
Residental Discs:There are 5 residental discs that face West, Northwest, North, Northeast, and East so I'll refer to them as such until I decide for more better names for each area
Basically each disc will have it's own theme and be developed as such:
^The North Disc - Green Fields Themed
The "zones" in the image shows where the INN and the statue will be built.
INN: Each disc will have an inn. The Inn will be based on the theme chosen. It'll probably be no more than 3 stories and is mainly for newcomers to rest, have acess to crafting tables, room chest, furnances, and a bed (which probably will never be used on this server
) I may also grant access to enchantment tables for free or $1 fee. Also there will be a lobby and a lounge with food either for free or again $1.
Statue: Each disc will have a themed statue.
I may have design contests to decide what the statues for the others discs will be if people are interested. I'm debating on how big the dimensions for the statue's space should be so I'll probably be updating this very soon.
Housing: There will be prebuilt homes in each disc and will be available for new residents to move in immediately. These houses will be built in the building zone in the image above. The citizens can decide whether to keep the pre-built home they got, or tear it down and build another. Of course citizens could just build their own home in the free space and can build it with any size. HOWEVER, I will judge on whether they are being too greedy with the surface area of the land because there need to be room for other citizens as well. Building as high as the want is perfectly fine. Housing on the top "floor" can have stairs coming down to the bottom floor as long as they aren't too invasive and look decent enough. I will probably not charge citizens to build if they provide their own materials and don't take too much space. I may charge if the space is ridiculously large.
Roads. Lightning, and Scenery: There will be a block layer for each disc dedicated to defining the roads of the disc and can be expanded upon as more citizens move in and create structures. Lightening will be kept enough so mobs don't spawn (uunlike it is now XD) Scenery may be harvested by anyone i.e. trees AS LONG AS IT IS REPLANTED. If it gets too excessive I may only allow certain people to harvest scenery.
North Disc:Details and Theming are in progress (4/20/12)
The disc is going to be a Green Field themed area. There will be a tree in the middle that represents the architecture of the tower.
