Small Town Row Houses 1.20

[kid1293]

 

I'll scrap the idea of angled buildings!

I don't have the momentum to pull this off.

There will be a minor update to my rowhouses with better textures
and some graphical fixes. That's all.

My impression that the rowhouses have reached a limit is right.
I will not mess with them.

Think I idle around like the other people.

Well I thought they were really cool. I have them in my game now. Making makeshift diagonal roads in Banished has always been a mess but I put a few in anyway to breakup the grid. Putting in trees at just the right places and having buildings like your houses makes it come off better. 

Oh well. Darn I was looking forward to pushing you toward two story versions. 

[kid1293]

Nice of you! 

You and others who have the beta version can tell if it is
possible to use them like ordinary houses. To tell the
truth, I have not tested them very much.

kid Please don't remove them houses. They work GREAT!

[Turis]

Hey, keep them! And, as a matter of fact, add angled second-stories tall housing version and specialized stores on ground floors with one or two floors residences above them like RK's NMT does... if you want.

You don't know the trouble I have to have some kind
of footprint at all and now I have to make it even smaller?

Think - If I don't build a second floor there will be gaps in the
footprint and people start using those tiles as a road.
Then I'm back to giving it up again. 

To be honest I thought you didn't like the houses. There was
no reaction to the beta, so I pulled it. But if you say they are
fine I can at least finish 'outside corner' houses and release them.

(It should be 'inside/outside connection but it sounds weird)

[Turis]

I'm not into 3D modeling, but, can you close the gap by making the footprint zigzag like the teeth of a saw?

[liberty152]

finish them please. we all love them. some of us didn't have time to tell you.

[kid1293]

@Turis - No, It has to be rectangular 

[Turis]

Make the footprint 2x2 square, design the house as a duplex. One family lives on one street and another family lives at the back. But, do it so the 2x2 footprints touches each other corners that should block the citizens to walk through the houses.

@Turis

You are really hinting at something. RedKetchup was into that too.
A backdoor...

But that leaves us with the scenario when you don't build a second floor.
Then the footprint is inadequate.
And touching corners is not enough. It has to be side by side at least one tile.

[kid1293]

Well, you have been giving me a good mood! 

I put a link with Beta 2 of my Rowhouses 1.1
Now there's an outer corner (connection) which you can use.
As usual give me feedback, it's good for my karma. 

edit: link is gone...  new version in download section

Looks great!

[bubbamcgee]

The angled houses look great.  Please don't give up on this project!

@kid1293 - I thankYou, Sir, you have made something new for this game. We are finally getting away from straight lines and on top of that, it also looks great.
