darrenstraight 2,330 Report post Posted August 3, 2012 Over the past couple of months there have been various resort and oasis type build suggestions. [url="http://www.darrenstraight.com/minecraft/index.php?/topic/1136-oasis-town-suggestion/"]Yogernaughts Oasis town suggestion[/url] [url="http://www.darrenstraight.com/minecraft/index.php?/topic/2083-yams-hotel-and-resort-suggestion/"]Kyles Hotel and Resort suggestion[/url] [url="http://www.darrenstraight.com/minecraft/index.php?/topic/2293-summer-resort-suggestion/"]Nikkis Summer Resort Suggestion[/url] So I thought it's about time I let you build in the north west corner and see if you can maybe combine some of these suggestions here? There’s also the Arabian or Sahara suggestions and of course wild west, though that last one has been done before, so maybe something different would be better. Anyway it's over to you lot, I will be keeping an eye on this topic and guiding you all where necessary but for the most part it's in the communities hands (you decide what happens here), the only thing I will say is bear in mind that the tracks will need to continue straight (future expansion) and also that people can’t decide to live here permanently / own houses etc. I suggest you take a look at the images Ive attached to this post and also use /warp northwest to see the area first and then discuss here before actual building of anything takes place. Good luck and thanks. P.S. Dont forget the University of YAMS Project is running and also spawn fun room. Lots to keep you busy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VictoriaPorter 278 Report post Posted August 4, 2012 brilliant! and a warp too. *feels spoiled* i'll go look soon and see if i can get any ideas! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darrenstraight 2,330 Report post Posted August 4, 2012 Thanks for replying, was starting to get a bit confused as to why no replies but yet 40+ topic views! It can get irritating when people say there’s nothing to do and or I don’t take suggestions into account, but yet when I give them the opportunity to do something it gets ignored and no one wants to take part or even say something! Same is kind of happening with fun room, someone just needs to say ok let’s do the river rapids or whatever and just build it! Whoever doesn’t take part.. It’s there loss! They cant moan latter saying there’s nothing to do! Anyway, had a chance to look yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VictoriaPorter 278 Report post Posted August 4, 2012 yes, its a lovely area with lots of interesting features! i'd like to see this area kept interesting whatever we decide to do- its charm is in the unusual terrain. there's lots we could do here. I'm thinking a large hotel might be a bit of an eyesore if not designed well so we should have a think about that. beach huts might be nice. palm trees definitely!

darrenstraight 2,330 Report post Posted August 6, 2012 I personally dont think this area is a good idea for an olympic park... it's a Desert! An olmpic park style kinda thing would have been better suited a more greener area. I chose this location based on what people previously said they wanted. Anyway... err big no to the mcdonalds! >.< Whats everyone else think about Bartys idea? Needs to be your choice more than mine, but you know what i think.

changingtuna88 168 Report post Posted August 7, 2012 I was thinking more low key beach resort,not a big built up boardwalk city thing. But if everyone else is aiming for that, i'll go along Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VictoriaPorter 278 Report post Posted August 7, 2012 the olympics isnt on much longer, it will be weird after that. i like the idea of the arabian oasis resort, much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darrenstraight 2,330 Report post Posted August 16, 2012 So as there hasent been much discussion should I close this topic and call this project quits? Or we actually going to do something? Would everyone be ok with a oasis/arabian type down so sanstone houses with wood maybe bit of stone and wool etc? around the oasis, lots of them all built up around it. The oasis as it currently stands will need to be changed at various sides. Also I may have a look at having the rails go under the water instead of over for a better town openess! Here's one of those NPC Villages you can now find in the desert: [img]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QJTTn9mHWO0/UBmu3Ktm-BI/AAAAAAAAAsI/UV0rFCxqeWA/s1600/_671258039_1.jpg[/img] Theres also this desert town someones made, for more inspiration!

changingtuna88 168 Report post Posted August 16, 2012 The roofs could be flat so the people could go out and sleep on top. Also we could have little wool tents in fron tof the house for a market type thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VictoriaPorter 278 Report post Posted August 16, 2012 that desert town looks fab, reckon we could build something like that no bother. with palm trees! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
d8g4cnd24_h7 102 Report post Posted August 16, 2012 I really like the desert town idea! I think we should have an oasis with palm trees around it. We could maybe add a small pyramid, maybe like 5 blocks high to give it more of an ancient desert town feeling, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crispy BartyJnr Barras 227 Report post Posted August 16, 2012 TThe desert town looks like the town you go to in fable 3 to e honest... Which is a nice desert town! I would post a pic, but I'm at work, haha if anyone wants to google one for me! 8P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darrenstraight 2,330 Report post Posted August 21, 2012 If nothing is decided and started soon.. this project will close. Sorry but it gets rather annoying when I give the community projects and or areas to do things with and then nothing gets done, though people still moan saying theres nothing to do in YAMS! >.< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darrenstraight 2,330 Report post Posted August 21, 2012 [quote name='SteerpikeSister' timestamp='1345555160' post='14957'] what buildings does it need? what should they be made from? how should the resort be structured? [/quote] Hey thanks for replying! This is what I personally think needs to happen, but remember its not about really supposed to be about me and what I want! 1. I guess I'll have one of the rails (west rail) go under the desert/water as I said before... so I need space left for this round the west side of the station, what I may do is have it go straight for a little bit then go down into the water, that way we can have a pathway under the rail instead of having to walk all the way round. I will get this done as soon as I can. 2. The main stairs from the station are done. Just need to start working on a path design and layout. 3. I suggest the oasis is terraformed better and even made bigger in certain areas. 4. I would have the pain path curve and twicest etc round the oasis. 5. Houses would then be build up around it... so they all sort of face the middle oasis etc. 6. Work with the terrain not against it... dont just flatten everything! But thats not to say you cant make more hills and rivers and waterfalls etc! Ok well that should help with some of the structure, steer still asked other unanswered questions, though sandstone seems to be the way to go along with wood for details and then wool for (cant remember name) the market stool sheet/cloth/cover things that come of houses..... and tents and what not.

Nikki Nutta Palmer 185 Report post Posted August 24, 2012 hiya made a start on making lake bit bigger to include area on the left now, seems like better land for building on too. with tallest bit facing station was thinking mini temple/waterfall from top of hill. will be back on tomoro night to do a bit more to it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darrenstraight 2,330 Report post Posted August 24, 2012 Thank you Nikki, cant wait to see this place unfold... Ive been putting off letting people build here for a while... as theres so much else going on! So I really hope something nice is done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
d8g4cnd24_h7 102 Report post Posted August 25, 2012 I saw a house already built. Progress is making way!! I had a few ideas myself for this build. For the palm trees around I was thinking we could have smaller baby palm trees made with fences (5high) and a few leaves at the top and some larger, full grown palm trees made with either jungle or oak logs (7-8high) and many more leaves at the top. These palm trees could be on the edges of pathways and a few beside the lake to make it look more like an oasis. Also, I think we should have a dock somewhere on the edge of the lake. My last idea, is to have a small abandoned wooden shack to give it the small desert town feeling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
