First topic message reminder :

Heys!

So I want to change the roads for spawn, because they kinda do not fit spawn anymore, and want to change them to something better and more simple.
I also want to get rid of the slabs, because sadly there's not much choice when choosing slabs.

The rules are simple, do a 5x9 or a 3x9 road, (the 9 can change) but make sure its a nice pattern so we can repeat it everywhere. Also try to use blocks that look good with stairs, since we will need to use stairs in some places.
Deadline: 25 April 2014

Example:

I am also asking 3 wide road, because might look better than 5. Not sure if a thinner path looks better at spawn, its why I am giving you guys that choice.

Can't wait to see your creations

Then same desing with 3rd picture, but slabs can be full blocks and stairs could stay as border / edge or something .

How is the winner decided? Do we get to vote in a poll?

Me and Nathan will decide on a winner.

there's 8 5x16 paths and 1 3x16 path

Just throwing in an idea.

Thats actually not even a bad idea, to have something like lanterns besides the road. Maybe we could work on that a bit more?

Just a thought, but what about having several different types of roads for the different areas around spawn? Maybe one type for the "shops" area. Another, around the actual "spawn" area. Another around houses. Just a though to make each area a bit different. Maybe street lighting could be different in each area as well?
Maybe not but it is worth at least thinking about?

Could work though they would need to be similar.

I actually think that is a good idea as well

Yea, would make more variety for sure. Also because the buildings at shop place are more personal

So maybe do a bit of a random path using hardened clay coloured differently?

You can do it, this is still a contest topic.

Bump!

only a couple of days left, would be nice if some people added their ideas to this

indeed...

You like my idea for the road?

Your road looks really good! I just think there may be too many different types of wooden variations.

Honestly I think those are still too overwhelming. You guys are forgetting we need something simple without too many blocks. I'd say 3/4 blocks max will make a simple and good road for spawn.
And making blocks randomly doesn't make a good road

If you have same pattern all over the place , it gets annoying , at least I think that :-/ Even if you do 2 - 3 different designs in few places it still looks too repetitive .

Having at least on few places in road something different, that will make it more interesting , at least for me :-)
New blocks in 1.8 can help make good looking roads . Although I wish there was more stone types in game , like darker stone :-/

That remindes me ... need to change road in my town .. once I can get there xD

Soooooo?!?!?! Who won!

I don't think I will choose a winner this time since everyone was ignoring what I was asking...
I will ask Nathan about it though.

I think you made your road with slabs, when I said I wanted to get rid of them
