Enshrouded Tips | How to Build BETTER Towns!!

alrighty welcome back so today's episode I am going to teach you how to not make all straight lines so with voxels we have the problem that we can only build on 90 degree angles so everybody is just making rectangles and they're all on 90 degree angles and it just is what it is so I'm going to show you how a normal person would build let's let's say this is some small uh European village and we're on Main Street here and we're going down into an Alleyway so you have a pretty standard Fair here you know there's windows in it you come in there's a courtyard with a well maybe there's a small garden in it couple benches to sit you got uh Windows overlooking it got a little side alley maybe this is uh someone's house or maybe it's a little maintenance space and You' got some boxes a Barrel there's some uh hanging I didn't de go crazy in the decoration but because that wasn't the point of the video someone else's house and then you got to come up to someone else's house again or goes up to another level because maybe this is on an angle but all in all the one thing you notice is it's straight lines like look how this is just straight all the way back straight all the way back sure there is an offset here that's nice that's that's one way that you can do it but you're already in here and since you're already in here your mind's already being tricked into thinking it's not just straight lines even though it quite C clearly is because the building just runs straight down now let me show you the difference now keep in mind I built the same thing but I changed a few of the aspects to make it more and I'm doing this to get rid of the uh camera my character now look at it so same thin building thin building over there more squat building I took it from two stories down to one story so now you can see back here in the back I can see over this building and see more buildings back there I took this I can Canever it out the second floor so two windows with shutters up here instead of a single window this one window has shutters instead of nothing same chair same spot same Landing same door I added a really bad flower garden apparently this person who lives here has a terrible Green Thumb actually it's because it's nearly impossible to get anything to plant in just four squares even if you use uh fertilized soil uh added this up here that's here nor there it's really the same same roof tiles same old building materials but now this is this line is broken up so it's not just that okay this is a straight line with just one thing that sticks out this is no longer a straight line because I also bumped that whole building out the the lower footprint comes out a block or two one block and with this now you get a different look to it even down Main Street I also inset this door by one block I took out the corner and added the stone Windows as an architectural detail all of these things are tricking the eye into thinking that it's just not a straight line I added a flower garden sticking out to encroach onto the space so and then inset the let me take that off inset was copper copper uh railings into that copper fence added some shutters there I even inset so in a lot of European towns uh you will have these inset Stone features that would have like a a statue maybe it's an angel or something like that uh we don't have those kinds of things so I just made the indent and then of course you got a double window here instead of the single window on that other side same Windows exactly same windows on the low floor it's a stone and then the top floor has the nicer wooden ones and then I put the the window overhang again I'm encroaching on the space to shrink it in and trick the eye you notice that second building isn't in a straight line it actually comes out two blocks from this line and the water well here actually blocks your path and it blocks the eye then on this building I have this corner like and like a little small tower that comes out I also use the architectural detail here and here but by having this corner come out of the building again you can just barely see the stairs and the door at the end where there it was just a straight shot you the eye was leading you down the alleyway to the stairs and up to the door nothing necessarily wrong with that it's just not interesting then we come in here and because I brought this over like the other ones maybe right here where I'm standing I had more room in here so again you would have some kind of like a statue right here uh it is really difficult to plant anything when you have flower soil they need to change that and allow us to plant things in flower soil um I tried several times right here that's why you see a little bit of dirt that's actually fertilized soil but got a little bit to work did another another inset there did a large overhang a double window overhang there and and yes I realize it's not centered because I hadn't built that upper wall when I built that and that was centered when I built it cuz I'm an idiot same uh benches the fence is here but instead of going around just that one little hedge it goes uh on both sides added a chair just because there's more depth here same two boxes same Barrel same door there you still have your upper Windows the same now it's a little more encroached because of this I don't know Tower section that sticks out and I even added a detail to the stairs by adding this one block going up the stairs that encroaches more on it along with these overhangs that makes it feel more organic now you could go even further with this because Main Street would be the oldest so back here maybe back in this section maybe there's a little bit newer stone or they're not using the same Corey as they did a 100 years before 50 years before when they built Main Street and so now instead of regular stone is that what I used regular stone block maybe you use fan see stone block or whatever and that would also help to trick the eye because then you even break up the pattern of how this Stone looks but you can see it it makes a huge difference to the look and the feel of everything in in making it appear much I mean that's just that's a beautiful shot right there let's get let's get us a nice little SC screenshot maybe this will be the uh thumbnail that'd be a hell of a thumbnail I like it but you can see it it makes a big difference now obviously these are just fake buildings there's nothing inside of them in fact some of them don't even have walls but you get the point of what I'm doing this wasn't a decoration contest this was a how can you trick the eye so that you're not just seeing that which now that you look at this it's boring as I mean it is just boring it's functional it's perfectly fine but it's so boring when you look at something like this instead which just has so much interest and intriguing like ooh boy they must be fancy they have a big double double bay window and wow these guys have a turret with with uh or Tower sorry with with two a double bay window wow it's like you know who are all these people and and boy they've got money and stuff that's why maybe this should be the best or stone or something back here but you get the idea I appreciate your time and uh we'll see you next time thanks for watching
