Hey everypony, so I've been working on the test build for about 2 days, since I started actually and well I still have 5 left. However, I keep screwing it up somehow; I've spent HOURS in Ponyville just looking at the structure and design. I've even made blueprints and made my own notes from working on something in Single Player.

 

Essentially my problem is the upper half of the house and the roof. On this re-build (#8) I've made the roof too big and once again, I've done a kind of towerish building; as in it goes up pretty high (12 blocks high I believe.) 

 

I guess what I'm asking is if you could review it and let me know the plot number is S34 and I don't want to do another rebuild from ground up, if I don't need to. 

 

It's funny but I feel pretty good on what I've accomplished in only a day and a half - 2 days, but time is starting to go by faster.

 

Thanks

 

Dark

 

PS: I've gotten minimal sleep.

I can definitely tell what you're talking about by looking at this submission. My advice to is to make the roof's angle less steep-- that way, you'll shave off some height from the build.

 

The exterior of the build looks nice; however, you could probably maintain the design you have to the upper-half walls of the house. It looks better that way than abruptly switching materials halfway up.

 

The interior looks nice so far. It looks like you're still in the middle of working on that, so I won't get too much into detail. It'd be a little more effective to add a couple more rooms (or at least a wall or two) to some of the lower floors, though.

 

As far as being a WIP submission, you've got a good idea on what you're doing. The only thing I can see that would need work on is the overall geometry of the roof. You don't have to have it quite as steep, and if it looks awkward after resizing it, you can always make extensions if you want to make some sort of deck in the attic space. Improvise if need be ;)

After being asked ingame to review this, I've chosen to leave the review here for the sake of conveniency, and since I expect it to be lengty.

 

Areas marked with tags such as [Major Priority], and simmilar, are as to be expected very important that they are resolved as soon as possible, as it is likely to lead to a fail on your submission

Remember, if you ever need ideas for exterior, furniture, or anything else, or if you just feel the need to study builds that would pass submission standards.

Head to ponyville (/w ponyville), to study acceptable houses, as standards in ponyville are actually even slightly higher then submissions.

If you need to get ideas for furniture, again head to ponyville (/w ponyville) or in this case, ikea (/w ikea) could also be of help.

 

 

I wish you the best of luck, and hope you can make this passable.
