Title: The SnowyTown project: The SnowySkin Fundraiser
Post by: square_skull on March 13, 2013, 11:02:30 pm
It's Official! If you have seen my last post about this project (the one where I
needed tips), you would be aware that I WAS considering making a snow town,
well now its decided, I Will Make SnowyTown!

Of course for this project I will need 25 Protection Stones (coal) to make the basic part of
the city, the rest I can handle by myself. To fundraise for the protection stones I am
selling HEAPS and HEAPS of 8 minute invisibility potions, for the price of only 200 dollars
for for 7 potions (cheapest deal you'll find)!Of course to speed it up you can simply donate.

When I have completed the "basement/fondation" of the city I will need builders to build
some of the basics of the main buildings with the following specifications:
- the main building/application desk will need to fit into 1 lapis PS
- the basic structures i need you to make have to be Igloos, and constructed well enough
to look like if you saw it from a distance it would look like part of a sphere

I will reward you if you complete it to my expections (which I will Msg you if you are a
worker)

Thanks for your help!

thank you for volentering/agreeing to work for me. I will send an
image about the design and how much is done. after I have done
this please state what parts you will do and how much you would
like to be payed (if not working for free). It would be appreciated
if you could provide your own snow blocks, or if you use the snow
generator on the construction site.
I will edit a spoiler into this post with the design

Also, if you are not interested in building but you want to donate,
spider eyes, brown mushrooms, and any left stone brick would be
appreciated. I will set up a donation chest at my house shortly.

the basement walls have been completed! thats one of the hard parts out of
the way, but theres still more to do. Anyone still willing to help? if so, right
now i need sugestions on what to do with the spare basement space, here's
what's planned already:
- sheep shop
- sheep pen plots
- the application desk
- town rules and tips
- public egg generator (with hoppers and chest storage)

also i need people to donate any spare wool they have as well as dyes, if you
want to of course, as this will be used to build the dedication to the people
who helped make snowytown and the people who donated, money also helps.
Thank you all for your help so far!

To help fundraise for SnowyTown, I will open up a special skin channel seperate from
the optiskins channel, this channel will be called: "SnowySkins", this channel will simply
be this one except its name will be changed.
I will be making SnowyTown/Icy themed skins which you will have to pay to unlock the
skin (Only people who have payed for a skin are allowed to use them, you will also have
to pay me ingame to avoid confusion), i will be advertising the skins i will be selling ingame
by either wearing them or simply via chat advertising. Of course, some of the SnowySkins
will be free for anyone to use.

Here's some of the free SnowySkins (in the spolier below)
(click to show/hide)

I will add a screenshot of the first skin for sale (ChillyNaut) soon

thanks to those who have chosen to volenteer.

Since i have managed to earn enough money for the basement's protection
stones, i need to get help with what i can do with the extra space. I will
mail all the volenteers when this part of the project starts, and if you are
online i will try to contact you via messaging.

thanks for your time,

Thanks for the offer hammy, im sure ill take the up the jobs whenever i
can. Now, as for the SnowySkins fundraiser, i will lower the prices to
personally purchase a skin. It will only cost 30 dollars ingame. I am also
releasing other skins called Doctor Shard (its a mad scientist, snowey themed)
and the SnowyTown Apprentice (its a remake of my SnowyTown Master skin.
I will release screenshots of them soon.

Before I say anything else on this post, I would like to apologize for my long absence and lack of progress on snowytown, as I'm sure you remember I had my 'typewriter'* issues.
*straight up, my computer lagged horribly and died on me, multiple times even after it was supposedly fixed (note to world: never get a netbook, they only last a year. Max)
Since I lacked proper computer access, I was unable to warn you of my forced absence.

But no more excuses! I came to tell you the good news, I have a new laptop (not a notebook), and thus, the snowytown project shall go on!

I'd also like you to know that I'll attempt to recover the skins from my typewriter's corpse, as some you had showed interest in them.

Progress is going smoothly on SnowyTown! But as some of you may have learned, SnowyTown is a town consisting of 2 current layers:
1. Basement Level (for farming facilities)
and
2. Town Level (generally for housing)
With the current level of minecraft redstone and farming techniques, there are lots of ways the space in the basement can be used, but I was wondering, what would you think would be the best way to use the basement space in terms of item farming? And also, how can it be built? I look forward to your suggestions.
Things which are already planned to go into the basement:
- compact chicken coops (and egg storage)
- sheep farms
- automatic pumpkin/watermelon harvesters
- snow wells

P.S. I have successfully recovered the SnowySkins from my "dead typewriter", but I will now make them free to everyone, anyone interested?
P.P.S. this doesn't count as a necro-post, does it?

No it doesn't, as far as I know. You made the topic after all, didn't you?

I've been toying around with red-stone ideas for SnowyTown recently, and I've been wondering, is it possible to make an automatic snow farm? If so, it would really speed up the building progress (because at the moment I can only build a few walls/floors before I have to get some more). Also, it would really help if you can donate snow blocks/balls, glass, and flowers (donate at: /home square_skull).
Thank you so much for the help so far!
p.s. I'll try to be less lazy and get some pictures of SnowyTown
p.p.s. auto farming ideas are still welcome
