Introducing BuddyBlocks! The Isometric City with a buddy system. Unlike other iso cities you are forced to pair up with another buddy to create your block area. 2-4 people may participate on a block. Once you've finished a block with your buddy, I encourage you to find a NEW buddy to start a new block on. Learn off your buddy. Use messenger, PMs, etc to get feedback from your buddy and communicate effectively to create an awesome block area. The template (UPDATED!):

This is a really great idea, I would participate if I knew anything about iso, but I don't, so I won't |

Thanks Ryan :) I know it's been done as far as the block idea goes but, isometric is my first love in pixelart and I figure it's a good way to get peeps working together. The opportunity for creativity and sharing of pixel wisdom is wide open here. Any ideas to make it better or different? I'm open to your ideas dude  ------------- |

Ah, I'd love to try! but... My ideas usually are above and beyond my skill level, and even more so in the case of Iso. I'll do a couple of practice runs, see if I still suck as much as I think I do, then get back to ya. ------------- "I was minding my own business and walking across a pebbled path, and a Duck started giving me the business." |

I mainly just want my block to look nice. I'm sure I could trust PixelBlink. :3 His style doesn't branch off too far from mine either, so our buildings won't look awkward together. ------------- http://cameronburke.deviantart.com/ - Deviant Art Profile |

I'm really excited about this colab, I have just begun my building
right now, and Blink has already finished one of his, he only needs to
detail it and choose colors.

I've updated the template. You may build on the road areas. This gives you the freedom to build taller buildings. Feel free to add cars, etc. but do not go outside the road areas into the blue ------------- |

Ok, Im in. Nice template pixelblink. I already had some time and started to work.  So my idea was a fancy lab. If someone feels like to create the other half of it, just post here that you do it and then do it. After that we might do some finishing touch or talk about adding something on the streets - i don't know, pm me your email. Oh, yes you can paint over my buildings if needed, notice the pipes on the border, which might be connected to your area somehow.  |

I (almost) finished my tiles a week ago and I'm waiting for Snader to finish his. Seems like he's been busy. Meanwhile, I'll post here to get some crits.
(iso stuff is harder than i thought! )

pretty funny stuff dude. One thing I might point out is how small and undetailed your car and person are. Look how big the road is in comparison Edit: Thought I'd throw in Team Blinkout's current WIP (Takeout you need to make a move dude... haven't heard from you in awhile)

I have been gone just a little bit rescently, but I'm working on finishing my current building and am already planning my next. It's going to be a small corner arcade. n_n
I might throw in a warp pipe or something. Dunno, but I'm hoping it'll look great. ------------- http://cameronburke.deviantart.com/ - Deviant Art Profile |
