Prehistory

When this did not come to fruition as planned,  SFRricraz63 and  3368, who had joined after being invited by  SFRricraz63, decided to leave the town and founded NorthernEmpires on December 31st, 2024.

Located in the center of town, this building provides a reliable food source. It is rarely used.

The hotel was built by  SFRricraz63 during the middle of January 2025. It is inspired by a motel in the town of Novac in the video game Fallout: New Vegas. Prices range from $70 for a standard room, to $150 for a deluxe room with a balcony.

Ongoing Projects

DogTown Road

Due to its proximity to, and friendly relations with, the neighboring DogTown, the two villages decided to establish a road connection. As of January 19, 2025 the 3 block wide gravel road is still under construction.

Arts district

The art district, located some distance away from the town in a grassy area, is intended to provide space for pixel art and other creative builds with fewer restrictions, ensuring it does not visually impact the town itself. The project was originally started by  BeefCheeks1 to create a dedicated area for artistic expression. As of January 19, 2025, the project is being continued and led by  3368, with significant contributions from  CallMeMrSeal and assistance from other users.

Shopping Mall

Construction on the shopping mall, located adjacent to the great fortress in the new town district, was begun by  HanSolo20 on January 19, 2025. When completed, it will contain space for 6 small shops, organised around a central glass-covered arcade. Important contributions came from  Leivu, who helped with initial excavation, as well as  QueenOfAsh,  panda_the_man, and  SFRricraz63, all of whom donated much needed building materials to the project.
