The Spring 2023 edition of The Rookery is now out! Take a look to see the latest builds, guides, progress and development updates on the upcoming 1.18.2 switch. You can read it here:
I'm incredibly impressed, you've done a great job with that house. Only piece of feedback I have is to be wary of making "bubble yards" (where the yard is just a randomly shaped blob, rather than being logically constructed) but this isn't really the case here at all anyway.
For your next...
Hi knownfunnyman, sorry for the wait. I've been very busy irl and haven't had as much time for reviewing applications - thanks for your patience.
You seem to have a good grasp of some of the basic concepts we apply on the server - for instance, house shape and materials, interior design and...
Hey AggUral, great work and thanks for the quick reply!
Things I like:
- Good initiative to put the house into context - even if it is slightly unusual!
- Nice exteriors, fit the bill perfectly
Things that need improvement:
- With the shed, rather than having on of the stone foundations on a...
Hey AggUral, great work on the tavern!
Things I like:
- Really good exterior design
- I commend you for thinking about how other buildings around the house might impact on its design. You did a wonderful job portraying this and showed us some knowledge of higher level skills like plotting in...
Hey Profilman, I actually really like what you've done! You've done a really good job with the exteriors and the interiors have a great low-medieval vibe to them.
My only concern would be the floating fish/herb blocks (such as in the below screenshot), where they should instead be supported...
Hey Noriaki,
I'm afraid we are going to have to reject this application, as it does not match the style of the server. I admire your persistence, but I'm afraid that you don't seem to be taking on board our feedback to look more closely at our builds and learn the basics of how we build houses...
Hey Noriaki,
Unfortunately, I am going to have to reject your application at this time because it doesn't match up to the standard we set on the server. I think you need to spend some more time looking at our builds and getting a grasp of our building style before you reapply again, if you...
Hey Bobby, glad to see you decided to apply!
While your build certainly demonstrates creativity, it isn't really what we're looking for with our application process. What we want to see is that you can create a house that fits into the server's style, both in terms of interiors and exteriors...
Hey Profil, great job!
Things I like:
- Great yard
- Solid exteriors (exceptional use of vines)
- Very good smithy
Things that need improvement:
- The semi-attic area with the beds is weird. It shouldn't be irregularly shaped and it doesn't appear to have any supports - how would it stay up...
Hey, just happened to come back to this and noticed you updated the original post with your challenges!
Thanks for taking the time to update the original house. With regards to this, the staircase is good (though you have too many chests - these are reasonably expensive and shouldn't be used...
Great work on the Silverhill tavern!
Things I like:
- The bar area is simply outstanding
- Good house shape
- Solid interiors - you've come a hell of a long way here
Things that need improvement:
- Exterior vines are too messy. Try use them in a way they might logically grow, rather than...
Hey bokops, cheers for applying with us!
I'm thoroughly impressed by your application - very brave of you to go for a diagonal.
Things I like:
- Great daub and wattle
- Nice balcony
- Great interiors
- The yard and road outside puts the house into context, which is really important
Things...
Hey DeniedFamous, we'd love to take a look at your application builds but at this stage the url you've provided doesn't contain any images. Would you be able to fix that for us and post an updated link?
Hey NoriakiKujo,
Thank you for persevering and applying with us again! I can see that you're passionate about becoming a member of the team, but unfortunately while this house is an improvement on your last application, it also isn't up to the standard we're aiming for on the server.
I would...
Things I like:
- Pretty much everything
Things that need improvement:
- Yard would likely have a more regular shape, rather than being "bubble" like (but these are usually plotted for you)
- Interiors are quite cluttered. This is definitely within the limits of normal, so it's not actually a...
Hey Profilman, thank you for applying with us. You're off to a really good start! For the record, next time can you take your pictures during the daytime? It can be quite hard to see things in a night-time screenshot.
Things I like:
- Pretty good interiors (especially the attic and bottom...
Hey Uldirone, sorry for the long wait! I hope you're still interested in continuing your application.
Things I like:
- Nice and sensibly low class interiors
- Great attic sleeping area
Things that need improvement:
- Exteriors of the house are good, but a little plain - they don't show off the...
Cheers for the prompt reply dahgamer, I can tell you're keen to get going!
Things I like:
- The exteriors of the main part of the house are great!
- The interiors are pretty good, especially the bottom floor
Things that need improvement:
- The back end of the house. I don't really know what...
