Hello Builders!
Last time we talked briefly about villagers hair and you provided us with a lot of feedback regarding your favourites. This time we'd love to see your opinions about... houses!
Beta test sign-ups are still on-going and we invite you all to send your application in order to have a chance to play the game and check it for yourself a little bit earlier!
There simply cannot be a builder without a building they themselves could call their home. Everyone of us needs to take a breather in a safe haven provided by our own 4 walls and that is a truth that has been known through ages. Our lovely subjects, working for the glory of the Empire, also need to rest and sleep somewhere and we had the lovely opportunity to design their houses and farmlands.
We were quite dedicated to make sure that even a small detail would look appropriately as we discussed the house design with our specialists in the particular field. On the picture you can see the designs and how they evolved through time. Even something that might seem trivial as grass placement or the positioning of flowers near the hut is not a thing we can omit - a heated (yet civilized!) discussions took place to make sure that we can find the best spot for each of the features and to make sure that the overall image of the farm stays creatively diverse and atmospheric.
And to make it more clear for you - looking at the picture:
The linearts presents the early concepts for the huts and placements of features around them. That is an important stage as we need to at least limit the number of concepts before going into another step.
Then some more detailed work was done to ensure that we can find just the right look for our building. Afterall we would love for its dwellers to feel as happy as they can!
Then you can see the final creation for thist particular concept art - image of the hut from its front and back.
We think it looks lovely but more importantly - what do you think about this little glimpse into the game?
Hope the New Year is treating you well! Stay tuned for more soon!
Best regards,
Builders of China Team
