Update! Castle building

Hi there!)

I am beginner in this game and decided build something for start base. Want to know what u think about this direction of building.

Have been some time since i last time updated this post. I a lot thought about chisel my castle, but in the end decided to left it as it was created in start. Maybe after some time i will change it and redesign it.

In place of it I have build up some more buildings around my castle. And on them showed my skills of simple chiselling. Well, tower and latest creation medieval Church.

If someone are interested of looking to them in game than can get easy through portal ‘‘Small dream’’. Which are located in Finata Ultima guild HQ Mall (5F).

Absolutely fantastic for ‘a beginner’, you’ve really got some architectural prowess, and so long as you’re happy with your build, that’s all that really matters.

With that out of the way, here’s how I’d ‘improve’ your build, or at least change it to something I’d prefer.

  • Get yours chisels out and smooth out some of those block like diagonal transitions. Unlike Minecraft (which definitely has it’s own charm) we can chisel diagonal facing walls in Boundless, so take advantage of it.

  • More block variation on large areas. On smaller builds you can get away with having walls made of a single material, but on large castle walls for example, they look very plain, and very flat; such as all those identical sedimentary blocks. Throw in some other blocks of the same colour, or slight off-tones of the same block, you can even use stones between the blocks in places.

  • Slope the roof. You have a 45° roof, so there’s really no excuse not to slope that.

Again, for a first build this is stunning work, but there are always improvements that can be made. Keep at it, and post more screenshots when you’re further along.

Beautiful! It has a very earthy charm to it.
Will you be adding a courtyard/garden in the future? Perhaps as you gather more resources you can add block variation and strategic gleam placement to give areas a glow.

Also, where is this?

looks great. cant wait to follow the build

This is wonderful! The 3rd pic reminding me alexander from ff serie!

Very nice build. Now use some greens to blend it in with nature and be creative with chisels and then it will be more awesome :slight_smile:
I always like medieval style building!

That looks awesome! I really need to up my building game. In mine craft creative I’ve made some really interesting and cool buildings. In boundless I seem to be completely missing my creative side and creating really bland builds!
