Island Castle with Grandiose Bridge [Work in Progress]

Background I found an island and started to build a castle on it… built a bridge as I needed a way to get to the castle. So I decided to make a big part of my build about the bridge itself.

Had a dull moment at work, so made a quick sketch of what my grandiose bridge could look like (I’m no artist so forgive my drawing!).

Ok, so armed with my architectural schematic (yeah right!) I started working… and here’s my progress so far

I am loving these reflections! (and I just realised I didn’t put lights in the first tunnel yet!)

Now to start working on the other side of it … erf! Then it’s onwards and upwards :smile:

Nice work! Make sure to beacon it! I’d love to see how it turns out in the future, so could you share the world/coordinates?

can we help with that creation?

Thanks for the nice comments :smile:

At the moment I would like to keep the location a secret until I can get at least the middle island and bridge under a beacon.

The plan after that, is to invite others to build up the area on the outer edges of the lake, to make a central hub and surrounding town. I’ll be making updates to this thread to show my progress, so will shout out the location when it’s ready to start inviting others to build up a town.

as you wish my friend, as I imagine you keep that location in secret because you dont have any beacon plotter left to protect it right?. I understand that, keep like this.

and here is another question. Anyone has arrived to the limit of a world? because i haven’t. It’s too big xD

I’ve not been brave enough to venture that far out yet haha!

I know there are some on the forums who have though!

haha, I’ve only been around Hawig world where I live, and theres a giant lake. the far I got was to the other side, the top part, where i’ve made a luminiscent bridge and arround the lake. Also the capital and sorroundings but not that far

I was at the edge of the world once but that was a long long time ago^^ Might have to do it again soon.

that is really very nice good work

That’s a nice design honestly. Are you planning on making a big gate through the middle of the center tower and making it so it’s one big tower, or will there be six towers?

Thanks - I’m hoping to get the other side of the bridge finished this evening so I can carry on with the towers. I was originally planning to do 6 towers, but after increasing the size of the middle towers to merge into the main tunnel, I decided to merge them into one big one. It will have a tall archway through the middle of it - hopefully with a gate at some point :wink:

Ok so I haven’t quite finished the other side of the bridge yet…

… but I tried to work out heights of towers and got a little carried away!



More tomorrow hopefully!

Wow, turning out nice! I would suggest making the other half of the mid tower rounder if you get what i mean.

When you’re finished PM me the coords because I’d love to have some pics

will do :wink:

Figured I would post a quick update of my progress…

Now that I’m happy with the design of my standard towers, I’ve started replicating them onto the bridge (and a couple on the main building).



I’ve also done some major work in laying out and building up the main castle (I’m not even sure that it is a castle now as it has no crenelations!) Let’s just call it a heavily fortified residence :wink:

So far I’ve completed 4 of the 11 standard towers, and still have the main central bridge building to complete… along with the other side of the bridge!
