    Salutations Everyone!

    We are going to be having our build challenge kick off in about a week, so this week; we need all builds to be submitted into this forum. The build challenge is “SKY BUILD”. Now some of you heard in Cliff’s weekly report that the process is going to be stricter than the previous builds. So let me post the rules for this challenge.

    1. Only approved builds in the forums can participate.
    2. Even if your build is approved, we (the mods/coms/Fraser) reserve the right to deny/remove a build from the challenge if it’s not “show quality” or for time constraints.
    3. Team/community builds will give you a better chance on doing elaborate builds, but still must abide by the two previous rules.
    4. Any build that requires “acting” will need to audition.
    5. We are on a tight deadline for this challenge, if you believe that you will not make this deadline, you need to inform us.
    6. This is a sky build challenge; we ask that the build be at least at y: 100 or higher… anything under that or on land will not be approved.

    Let me go into detail about some of these rules. As you know, the challenges are for the show, they are to display the talents of the community, and as such, we want to ensure that the builds are not only awesome, but that they will entertain the audience. No build is safe from being edited out from the show. If you are to participate in this challenge, you agree to these terms. Please do not come to us complaining that your build is not approved, removed, or time didn’t allow for it in the show.

    Any acting, or roleplaying will need to be auditioned, you will need to state that there will be acting in the forums before approval.

    Again, this is a sky build, so it needs to be in the sky… we don’t mind pillars to help you navigate to the build, but these must be removed when your build is completed.
    Submitting for the build:

    Please put your build idea into this template:

    Build Title:
    Builder/s:
    Approx Size:
    Description: Short description of your build
    Attachments: (Can be images of your build, or video ref.)
    Acting?: No/Yes – Provide Script
    Other:(List any other comments for your build or leave blank)

    Have fun everyone and stay awesome!

    EDIT: This is a SKY build, not Space/Future Part II. Please keep that in mind. -ISo


    UPDATE!!! – PLEASE READ

    There has been some confusion on why some builds asked to be either ‘Eye Candy’ ‘Offsite’ or just plain denied… Let me explain.

    Those who had their idea denied, we looked at these major points… Is this a sky build? Will this give that WOW factor that Fraser and the gang look for? Most Importantly, will this fit into the time slot? Remember, I said that this build is going to be strict, we had to deny many builds, good builds, because we needed to fit many into a time frame for the show. Fraser does NOT want a long 6-8 hour show to minecraft… and neither does some of the viewing audience. So please don’t take it as anything against you or your build, we had to make very tough choices.

    Those that are “eye candy” might be on the show, Fraser and the gang will take a quick look at it but might not spend as much time as the other builds.

    Those that are “offsite” we ask that you start building right away, we want to make sure that these builds will look and feel awesome. You can build anywhere you want, anywhere that will fit your build design. But keep in mind, if it doesn’t live up to Fraser’s expectations, it will be cut from the show. And we don’t want to see that.


    We are going to be ending the Build submissions today    , so get them in while you can, but keep in mind, those that are entering in builds now, the approvals are going to be much more strict. Thank you everyone for your hard work, good ideas, and staying awesome!

    UPDATE #2

    The Minecraft build approval submissions for the sky build has ended. The portal to the sky build location will be opened on Sunday, I will open a new forum post with a list of our approved builders and build leaders on Sunday as well. Good Luck everyone!

    Build Title: Normandy SR2 from Mass Effect 2
    Builders: Oasis Community and anyone else who wants to help
    Approx Size: About 260 blocks long, 50 blocks tall, and 130 blocks wide (at widest point)
    Description: We will be building a 1 to 1 scale model of the Normandy from Mass Effect two, with a fully explorable interior, based straight off the game which I will have running when building to use as a reference. It will be made mostly of wool, with some stone and iron blocks mixed in, with other materials when needed.
    Attachments: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XGR2WPfOoo A tour of the Normandy
    Other:
    Acting: Yes, we will have people playing the characters Fraser has met in their areas, they’ll just be standing there, no talking or anything.

    EDIT: Sorry if this is more space than Sky themed, I just re-watched Fraser’s Mass Effect playthroughs and realized no-one had built it, and since it functions as an airplane at some points I thougth it would be okay. If not, I can submit a new idea.

    Build Title: Starry Night
    Builders: Kero and anyone from the edge or the server who would like to help
    Approx: Size: 100×100 or around there. I can scale up or down as needed

    Description: I wanted to create a 3D model of the famous painting, starry night, as it is the most famous skyline in art. The build will be traversable, with the “background” flat against the back wall, and the churches and houses, Cyprus, and general city in real size. Something nice and flashy that you can instantly look at and go “WOW”! If I have enough time, I will flesh out the city to make sure it has roads and mailboxes and everything a city would have! Basically like a cobblebox stage… hopefully I can decorate the outside with a design too if I have enough help.

    Attachment: A mockup of the general layout and the painting itself. Last Picture is a final mockup of the background

    Acting: No acting, just me around to show off areas if necessary

    Other: Nothing I can think of!

    Build Title: Kingdom of Zeal
    Builders: Arcalius, NIMYANNA, Acevil, AnarchyFever, CameraLady
    Approximate Size: Approximately 160 x 160
    Description: The build will be the Kingdom of Zeal from Chrono Trigger. The build consists of 4 island (One main one and 3 smaller ones) as well as a “Skyway”, which is a platform on the ground which transports the player to the island. There are also a few buildings on the islands which will be crafted into the inside of the island and kept as close to the source material as possible.
    Attachments: Screenshot from the game and early blueprints of the project.
    Acting: None.
    Other: The blueprint included will outline the footprint of the main island but may not be followed for the side view as it is more to give an idea of height. The very bottom of the project will start at around 110 and will extend to be close to the height limit(Depending on the final height of the mountain). Most of the materials needed are already gathered and the rest will be gathered up until the build starts. Other Edge community members will also be involved in building depending on their own builds and schedules. I am also working on music with noteblocks to go with the build which will be housed within the main island. A mock up of the music is currently being worked on at Lambda Isle to see what everything will sound like with server lag taken into account.

    If you have any questions regarding the build please send me a private message or find me on Minecraft.

    Thanks,
    Arcalius

    Edit: I accidentally uploaded the incorrect blueprints. The correct ones are below.

    Build Title: The Aether Simulator
    Builder/s: SogHog, Assnemesis, members of The Empyrean community (more welcome to join)
    Approx Size: roughly 100×100 (most of it will be spread out islands)
    Description: The Aether simulator is a recreation of the popular Aether Mod that adds a sky dimension to Minecraft. This will include a main island with temples and recreations of creatures such as Moas, Zephyrs, Swets and Aerwhales, several clouds, a Silver Dungeon, and if time permits, a Gold Dungeon. I’ll also be using a far record to add mood music. To make things more interesting, the Silver Dungeon will include a puzzle room in order to progress. The optional Gold Dungeon will try to simulate the Sun God boss battle (a lava monster that can only be defeated by water, turning into obsidian)
    Attachments:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzLSeN89ekA http://aethermod.wikia.com/wiki/Aethermod_Wiki
    Acting?: No (not planned at this time, though its possible we may have actors to play as Valkyries).
    Other: Two questions: Since the original mod uses a glowstone portal to access The Aether, can we use a glowstone portal for this build? Also, is it possible to request that fraser and gang use a texture pack to imitate the textures of the Aether mod? Technically I could try using wool blocks, but I think it would cheapen the look, especially since the Aether loves to use colors not in the normal game. I can still work around it, though, if you decide against it. I’ll be using materials that try to match the ones in the mod either way.
