Housepets!

So like, i was starting to build a neighborhood in Minecraft called Babylon Gardens and i was like wait, why dont i just make this like the Housepets Babylon Gardens instead of bulding random buildings so now i am building Babylon Gardens in Minecraft based on any pictures of the neighborhood, houses or area in general that are in the comic. some parts will also be based on house types that were popular and commonly used in 1987-ish era such as split-level or backsplit (split level type houses seemed to be really popular back then).

here is first picture. the four houses towards the bottom were started after i decided to do this. houses in top were like 5 months ago in like 1920s house style so they are not part of this project.

Nice work. Don't think Hagus' HP server had an actual BG replica.

Everything actually looks really nice and well-built in the server! I can't wait to see what else you are gonna come up with!

It's not in the server, it's on his world Dayzee.

When i said server, I meant the server he is in. Not the official server.

Looking pretty good so far!

So are there any plans to expand on the neighborhood there yet?

yes i finished the house in the bottom right last night and im going to make a third road next to it

march 9th 1995 update: i finished this birch house and gave it the house number 1990, im making another road next to it. that other unfinished house was originally going to be the sandwich house but i found an outline of the house while reading the comic last week. that house will now be just a house.

I like the work you are pouring into all of this! Looks like it is coming together swimmingly!

march 9th 1995 night update part 1
i finished a backsplit house as practice to build the sandwich house later. also heres an overview image of the current area.

also heres the house i was going to use originally for the sandwich house. i inished it and grew a tree next to it but the tree grew inside the house.

This is looking absolutely awesome so far! Love how you are also putting a date to everything.

I wonder how the tenants of the house are gonna explain a tree growing INSIDE the house? XD

It’s a perfect place for a treehouse inside a house.

Wow, lotta work goin' on here!

I wish that I could be as focused as this and do something like that! I can't keep my mind on anything on a GOOD day.

Same, I honestly don’t know what life without brain fog feels like. XD

Its not that I have a fog, its that my OCD ends up acting up and I think I screwed up on something. So I obsess more and more until I DO and use that as justification for trashing a project.

Never quite got the charms of Minecraft but, still, this is impressive work.

I honestly was never really interested in it either. However if people enjoy it and can create cool pieces of art like this then who am I to judge them?

"The medium is the message" ... mebbee?

I guess if I were to look into some videos on YouTube about the game and get sucked into it I might want to try it. I'm not sure that I would find the will to continue with it though.

Listen to the soundtrack and you will get it instantly. It’s so ethereal and melancholic, it’s as if you’re peering into the mind of a child transitioning into an adult, realizing they’re about to enter the chaos and darkness of the “real world”.

Good advice, Harry ... as always. Thanks for the enlightenment.

I wouldn't need to listen to it in that case then. Even now I still feel like a child becoming a adult and I have no idea what I am supposed to do or how I am supposed to function. Its really frightening.

small update - thursday march 23rd 1995 -
ive been feeling sick so nothing has been done since last update, thankfully ive been feeling better this week than last week, and maybe i can do something this weekend.

I am sure we will all look forward to what you have planned next! Anything you do to add to this can only make it more marvelous!

Take as much time as you need. I look forward to seeing what you create.

Hopefully nobody else has trees growing inside their houses. LOL That wasn't a shot but just me saying that a house with that issue can't be really safe.

update april 1st 1995

finally have the energy to do this today. i might make a new street that i will put the sandwich house on.

update 2 april 1st 95

i finished another house and experimented with changing the land. thankfully the tree is not inside the house.

ive also added a stained glass window in the dining room.

That does look very nice and is so magnificent! Reminds me of my aunt's old apartment where she had a stained glass window in her living room.

update april 2nd 95

so today i named all the current streets, the main one is Ada St and then there is 13th and 14th St. this house is on 14th St behind he original sandwich house which i will now refer to as the tree house (because the tree that grew inside it). the next photograph is the field in which i will put the official sandwich house.

i also took a photo of this sunrise and sunset that happend as i was building.

That last pic is unironically beautiful photography... for a videogame screenshot, anyway. Nice work.

It does look like a very idyllic neighborhood.

The work you are doing on this is just phenomenal! I do love the way the sunrise and sunset looks here! Nice eye you got to be able to capture it at those angles!
