LAST WEEK'S THEME: SKYSCRAPER

Gold

Haurebay

The fear I had when choosing this theme for this week was that all of the builds would be large rectangles in the sky. Thankfully, that didn't happen for most of the builds and this build is a perfect example! This skyscraper has an awesome shape (I don't know whether to call it triangular or diamond shaped) that is original and creative! One of the neat parts of this build is also the billboard on the side and the small trees on the roof. The inside looks very modern, fitting with the outside of the build, and loved the detail of the reflecting villagers (I believe he said in his post it was villagers named Dinnerbone below the other villagers?) and the waterfalls. Great build!

Silver

KingKowen

A completely different style that surprised me but I really liked it, along with the other judges. Great block choice in this build, not many people will try to include bricks there but it really worked this time around! The entrance was also very grand and elegant! The interior also looked great. The stairways were neat, especially the ones with glass panes and dark oak planks. The whole build and the style just flowed together nicely. Great job!

Bronze

Akaed

The outside of this build also stood up with the others. It wasn't a rectangle and had a good shape to it and like first place, it had a neat garden on the roof. However, the one thing that set it apart from first and second place was the interior which seemed a little bit bare compared to the first and second place builds. However, it was still a fantastic build!

Introduction

You're playing the game and you come across a desert. At first, it seems bare but then you see it… a temple half buried in the sand… oh.

This week we're giving the temples an upgrade! Not saying that I don't like the ones we have now but after a while, seeing the same structure over and over again gets boring. Let's spice it up a bit!
