New Minecraft Render!

This image features Lake Hylia in Mute City at dusk on the Creative server. In the foreground is it's signature, Triforce Mountain (sadly without it's beam of light reaching skyward; a limitation of the rendering software), and the recently-added "rainbow walkway", hot-air balloon and airship, plus some recently-added pixel art (Tanooki Mario, the Rocket Ship from SMB2, and Pharaoh Man in the distance).

This is also the first image where three different areas of the server can be seen at once. In the distance to the left is our joint underwater/floating city, Skyloft-Atlantis, which appears to be much closer to Mute City than the trip to actually get there would suggest. In the distance to the right (near Pharaoh Man) is the beginning of Gerudo.

I played around with Chunky (a Minecraft rendering software) for a bit today and put my CPU cycles towards generating this isometric render of 'Mute City' on our Creative server.

In the foreground is our newest project; the almost-complete "Invader Field" Baseball stadium on the "East" side of the city (which is quickly becoming our 'Stadium District').

Sooooo, we've been busy on the creative server lately.

Notably, "Invader Field" Baseball Stadium (near the top of the image), and a Death Star (near the bottom of the image; actually gets cut off slightly).

Lately, I've been inspired to continue adding onto one of the nearby naturally-occurring towns on the Creative server; Gerudo.

All of the sudden, this boring, empty village is becoming a bit of a desert paradise!

Recently, we turned the surface of Olympic Stadium into an ice surface complete with hockey lines, ice (duh), and installed benches and penalty boxes. No dressing rooms... yet. :)

Second set of construction shots of "Olympic Stadium" in Mute City on the Creative server.

First batch of the long-awaited construction shots of "Olympic Stadium" in Mute City on the Creative server.

An overhead view of "Mute City" on our Minecraft Creative server.

I dabbled with a map renderer tonight and came across this overhead view of our largest (and oldest) city, current as of yesterday.

In the top-right corner you can see most of "Olympic Stadium", constructed back in February; it's the big blue thing with the wonky stripe through the middle. I haven't posted pics of the stadium here yet. I should get on that sometime soon. :)

In the upper-left corner, in the middle of a lake, is 'The Tube'; our very first construction project.

Came across this screenshot from inside the Pyramid we constructed in the town of Gerudo on the Creative Server.

I realized that I have a whole bunch of screenshots from projects we've worked on in recent months that I haven't posted to the blog. I want to post our progress with a lot more regularity because we're building some pretty cool stuff over on 'Minekube Creative' (including a Stadium!).

New Years fireworks on our Creative server last night.

Our city, Skyloft-Atlantis is COMPLETE!

Barring a few additions to existing structures, there is nowhere else to build on this artificial floating city. Nor is there anywhere to build below it, in the underwater component of the city.

There is a level we're beginning to develop underneath the underwater area of the city, but I'm not too concerned about continuing it's development at this point. Maybe one day.

For a "little" project we started back in March, it's turned into almost a solid year of work. But, I'm pretty pleased with the results.
