Make just ONE HOUSE
Stress is on the ONE and the HOUSE.
ONE:
If you make 2 or 3 or 4 houses without removing the old ones, you are making a mess in our world and you'll be rejected. If you want to start over, either remove the old thing yourself or have an admin restore it from fresh, don't just use up lots of room in our submissions world. If you just leave the old one for us to have to find and wonder who's it was, we'll just reject you outright.
HOUSE:
I shouldn't have to explain what a house is. Just make one of them. Compare what you make with what is seen on the show, we are looking for the normal houses as seen at the start of the show's intro. Not the library or the clock tower, just a house. See the screenshots in the info post in this forum for what house we're looking for.
If you understand this concept, feel free to stop reading the rest of this post, there's nothing new said, I just beat the point to death since we reject so many people who don't understand.
We are looking for houses, not trees, skyscrapers, airships, farms, dance clubs, and whatever other out of theme things people have been making lately for their submissions.
I am beating this to death, but even though there is huge floating text in the submissions world, we are still rejecting people for making random things that are not an average Ponyville house.
As for the reason, it makes it so much easier for us to review if you build a simple house, since we can just compare it with a screenshot from the show. It gives us a baseline in difficulty, so we can judge them more fairly. If you make something unique, its harder to judge.
Save your creativity for after you're approved, creativity and imagination is good, just not in submissions please!
I made the mock town so let people show us what they would make in that town. Its not a random plot of land for you to make whatever you want, you're supposed to show us that you understand how to build in theme. The reason I'm so hard on this is that if we let people in that don't understand this, they cause large amounts of grief for the admins when we have to delete things they make that are not in theme in the normal world. So for example we'll have plots in Ponyville, and someone will make a skyscraper, and we only end up having to delete it. Show us you're not like that and make a house!!!
And just for the people not getting it (though they are probably not reading what I write, but I'll write it anyway), don't make a house entirely out of glass, or a house with lava falls in it, or an upside down house. I can't list every possible thing people continue to submit to us, but can you get my point? Make a house that fits into ponyville, this is not the time to be creative, just show us you have skill, and can build in theme, once you get approved, THEN unleash your creativity in Equestria!
I am actually trying to make this easier on everyone, we don't want you working your butt off trying to make something epic, we're just looking for 2 things, basic skills, and awareness of making something that fits into an area.
If you have no interest in building something that looks like it belongs in a given area, then we don't want you having build rights.
Only make ONE HOUSE that fits into PONYVILLE
