Any thoughts on this ?

Think I liked the original house the best, with same colours, but with the 'industrial' chimney removed. The grey chimney colour was fine, but I'm not so hot on all these fancy coloured roofs. Don't think it fits all that well into the Banished art style.

Not that early!

I guess it depends on what you want to do with the houses.  Some people want more variety in the present set of buildings.  Others, such as I, want to create a different culture such as the shore of the Mediterranean.  There's no reason we can't all have what we want, eventually.

Different themes would be great. Just now I was looking for 3d models, trying to find more house alternatives, and came across some classical Chinese houses. A Chinese theme would be great too.

However, when sticking to the default-ish game, I'd like the new buildings to fit into what is already there, and I don't think flashy coloured houses really fit. A bit more variety in the game would be nice, also colour-wise, but going 'extreme' isn't necessarily the best solution. This is the great thing with modding though. Given time, everybody's wishes will be satisfied.

Here is a house which is closer to my mental image.  It is @RedKetchup's model with stucco walls and the Spanish red tile roof.  I think it looks pretty nice, myself.

*grinning*  The housewife scrubs the outside walls every morning, and her husband scrubs the roof tiles on the weekends.  Oh wait, they both work non-stop.  Oh well.

Here's the stucco.

Ooh, ooh. I want. I want.

great!!

That house does look great. More diversity is good, particularly lighter versions of the houses already in the game. The stone houses are so dark. The actual stones in the game aren't nearly that dark, so I don't understand why Luke chose to make them so dark.

20/20 hindsight though...

There are at least three shades of rock used in the buildings (stone house has one, town hall etal have two more, and possibly the hostel may have a fourth), as well as three types of boards (rough on most buildings, smoothed on the tavern, and painted on the schoolhouse), and at least four types of roofs (the chapel and the tavern each have unique roofs).  That's why it doesn't seem to me to be so important to make every new building match the original ones, because the question that arises is "which original building?"

Did all the indecision about what everyone likes best stop the little houses in their tracks?

[Bobbi]

When little houses?
