The Zoolympic Games

Okay i think my build is a very big stretch on the theme, but i like the idea to much to not do it :D
@Marvinb you didn't submit your build - would you still like to? I'm really curious to see what you did with the theme! If you would still like to and could submit today or tomorrow I'm sure we could still fit you in?
 
@BiologicalHorror from the comment on your scoring form I'm wondering if you noticed that @Frogstrich 's submission was a video? Just because you mention wanting to see more of the habitat. Here's the link in case you missed it -

Thanks for participating :) If you want to resubmit scores just for them I can update the scores accordingly? Just enter BH as your username and score everything 1111 except for that one.

Ahhh I had missed it! I just re-submitted my score for them.
 
Rules are made for bending, right? Go ahead!

I'll write a post about it and set up a separate scoring sheet
Kinda sounds like a hassle haha. You know what? Its not entirely done anyways and i probably wont get chance to submit it until tomorrow anyways, so id just leave at at that and skip this round.
Will share it on the what did you do in PZ today thread when i get around to finishing it tho

I'm excited about the Nocturnal House build!

I've been wanting to build a good nocturnal house since the Twilight Pack released. I've done a few smaller ones but no huge ones, mainly because I've been waiting to see if we get an aye-aye or loris (which are nocturnal house essentials IMO). So for this round I have finally gone ahead and treated myself to some mods. This is my first time using them and I couldn't be more excited to build the nocturnal house of my dreams!

Today was spent planning and these were the stages involved:
  • checked my data chest spreadsheet to see what nocturnal animals I might like to use
  • researched and gathered nocturnal house inspo on the web (this zoochat had some great leads)
  • spent a long time on nexus finding the mods I wanted
  • dreamt up an idea for the mood / experience of the build and developed it as the day went on
  • sketched out some rough plans in analog (pencil and paper)
  • tested that the mods didn't break my game (all good)
  • finally mapped out the layout in the game with pathing and terrain.
Hope I can pull off something close to what's living in my imagination 🌜
