BLOCKTOWN is a community art project powered through your comments and engagement. It’s an experimental game of city-making, a digital Madurodam. With each post, a new layer of buildings will be added to the Town. Your photographs, quotes, stories and feedback are the raw materials that drive construction for each new layer.
New Residents!
Thank you to @yoganarchista for the image submission! This building in BLOCKTOWN is based off of an old abandoned stone house in the forest. The Town is becoming a nice mix of new, modern, old and abandoned!
Here's a look at the process of assembling and modeling the Cabin, beginning with the 2D image submission and growing the 3D modeled character. Over the next few days I'll be modeling new rounds of buildings and adding them into the TOWN master plan at the beginning of each week.
Take a look, below, to see the process of modeling the Abandoned Cabin. Building No. 7 of BLOCKTOWN:
How to Play
Each building and landscape element of BLOCKTOWN will be derived directly from your comments. Photographs, quotes and stories will inspire their own design logic and manifest themselves as 3D characters within the Town. Beginning this week, new buildings will be added to the Town with every new post.
An Experiment in Building Community
Through this project - I hope to engage in a broader dialogue with fellow Steemians about their own sense of place and placemaking. These types of game-structured conversations are a fascinating way of learning more about what a person defines as his or her “community.” It’s a way of connecting to one another through the geographies we are deeply tied to and knowledgeable of. In a world of links, likes, upvotes and IP addresses, it’s exciting to find ways of bridging the digital divide and connecting with those on the other side of the screen.

I haven't heard of this challenge before! I think it's similar to a LEGO-building :))) Maybe i'll try it, if i have more time.

dude I love you :) looks awesome and you are always doing something inspiring, I've missed you for a while, damn steem for having good people around keeping me here :D
what do you think about the decentraland MANA stuff, it's a VR blockchain platform or so they claim, basically what do you think about gaming and the blockchain, can we make a few projects since the current ones on steem are lacking in my view, all are trying to integrate and be all web and all, imagine a whole town running on unreal or something, well the graphics are good dunno if the scaling and technology will work and what it will be aimed at achieving, but still
so good initiative once again!!!
