    Imperial Senate Upgrade

    Today I overhauled the home of the Imperial Senate.  They had gotten a case of building-envy over the shiny new Palace of Nations. It really made their once-grand building feel old, and out-dated.

    I didn’t have much room to play with, so I decided to just expand the building some. I added a new third floor for the specific purpose of giving it a much grander meeting hall.

    I also redesigned my Map Hall so the maps were lit MUCH better than they used to be.  I managed to sneak in some updates on them as well, since some hadn’t been updated in well over a year.

    The Wood Between the Worlds

    Today I constructed a new hub for my Minecraft server.  Originally, the hub to the different worlds lived in a section of the Alpha Portal Nexus, but a year or so ago I created a stand-alone world for it, dubbed “The Nexus”.

    It was a floating temple-like platform in the end that was just a row of portals to other worlds. It wasn’t very inspired.

    I found inspiration in the concept of the “Wood Between the Worlds” from the Chronicles of Narnia, alone with the Neitherlands from The Magicians (which itself was a sort of homage to the aforementioned woods).

    We now have our very own Wood Between the Worlds as our hub for accessing the different worlds!

    NOTE: I did NOT build the trees or the world, it was something I downloaded. I’m no good with trees!

  • 8 Years of Minecraft – Part 1

    Posted on by Sethen Comment

    Tomorrow marks the 8th Anniversary of my Minecraft world, Alpha.

    I’ve spent the last several days working on an anniversary project in Imperial City.  I have added a new International District.  The main feature is the Palace of Nations, our version of the U.N.

    I’ve also had the other players on my server all build embassies representing their kingdoms in Alpha.

    To top it off, I upgraded my little tram line that ran between my main castle and the Senate building.  I relocated the station by the Senate to be by the Skyport. Now you can go by rail from my castle, to the Skyport/Senate, and then along to the new international district.  Progress!

    I spent the weekend mining and crafting, as I’m starting to go slightly crazy from the quarantine stuff.

    I started working on a the new International District in Imperial City.  It will eventually contain a fancy “Palace of Nations” that will be our version of the U.N.  I’m also going to have the other players on the server all build their own little embassy to represent themselves.

    I started out by walling out the boundaries, building the new outer gate and wall.  The mechanics in the new gate are soooo much smaller than the same style of gate I built years ago, it’s a bit nuts.

    For my next trick, I need to remove the old gate.  I was originally going to leave it, but it and the adjoining angled wall are taking up a lot of real estate.

  • Minecraft: Nearly 8 Years

    Posted on by Sethen Comment

    In a little under two weeks (on April 7th), my Minecraft world will be 8 years old!  I’m still not sure what to do for a celebration this year, but I did make a major upgrade to my main city.

    Imperial City has had a clock tower positioned far above the center of the city for many years, but its always been pretty plain – a simple 3×3 square ugly clock.

    I have expanded it to be MUCH larger, with a detailed clock face visible from all over the city.  I’m quite happy with how it turned out!

    Here are some pictures of the construction process.

  • Diablo II is Back!

    Posted on by Sethen Comment

    Shock of all shocks, I’ve been playing Diablo II with RwarrGaming & Wreckyoface (Nick & Chris) this week.  We’ve been having quite a time with it!

    We all played many, many years ago up in Jackman, it was a whole thing.

    Last night we finished Act 2 and arrived in Kurast.  I’m not looking forward to Act 3, its my LEAST favorite.

    Oh, and as always, of course I’m playing a Barbarian 😀

  • Demonreach Update

    Posted on by Sethen Comment

    The village is bustling in Demonreach!  I spent some time this week building some new houses and breeding villagers.

    We had a bit of a rampant unemployment issue, so I created some new dedicated work-areas for the different professions.

    There is so much activity now!  Villages living all over place, working all over the place, and even having their meetings in the Meetinghouse!
