    Hey Bowen, if you need help turning those granite chunks into usable blocks - just let us know.

    Now if we could just trade your village moondial for a keep sized moondial we could use all the granite blocks! :)

    lol unfortunately I'd need a keep sized lot for that. The city lot is barely big enough.

    Well technically they're not.. so long as there's nothing behind them. :) but yeah they're still bugged.

    Honestly I have no idea. :) but I suspect I probably will.. I should be working on it today and might have a better idea later. I'm going to start to focus on function over form at this point. Screenshots in the next few days (if not tonight).

    lol I've been working on the foundation, getting a feel for how the lower level will be laid out and what I can get away with, what blocks I'll need etc. Also need to start going around and seeing how others have done things to get a better idea how I want to proceed. Now that the major quests are done and will no longer serve as a distraction. ;) Will try to post current pics tonight.

    So.. bleachers are still bugged.. so I won't be working with them for awhile until they're fixed.

    We see here I'm placing stuff rather loosely to see how things fit and figuring out where things need to go. The castle walls will surely serve as an outdoor walk around but hopefully there will be a full set of interior halls to get around.. we'll see how that goes.

    The current plan again is for the first 'floor' to be elevated which is what the stages are for.. BUT.. in a pinch I could probably use blocks as well.. would probably solve the spacing problem I'm having with the stages. However, I would like to break up the material a bit. I like the idea of having the wooden floor.

    I'm hoping to get an 8 sided shape though it can't be a perfect octagon unfortunately because of the space limitations of the city lot.

    You may notice I'm standing on the ring here which could double as a lecture platform. :)
