Ghibli Style Farmhouse - Full Design Process

[@juli5945]

The interior looks amazing, and even though I've watched Arriety more than once I hadn't noticed the different wallpapers, it added a cozy/creative vibe to your design. I kinda want different wallpapers now lol

[@PixelArchitect]

Will try to use wallpapers more often down the road :) Haven't watched the movie yet, but it looks like they are mini people living in some sort of box, which is extra cool.

[@asiaburk6524]

@@PixelArchitect oh!!!! Please watch it. It's such a charming film, and I think you captured that in your build. Great job!! Can't wait to play.

[@PixelArchitect]

@@asiaburk6524 The trailer looks amazing. Will definitely get around to watching it!

[@JosiahJames-h1c]

Agreed ​@@asiaburk6524

[@arielferreira9121]

something that I always thought about this things in the house so we know someone is really living there, is that nothing ever changes, I know is a lot of more work that won't make any difference in the game, but I think it would be really cute if the things changes a little around like two times at day something moving place, so we can really see people do stuff and live their lives, just a tiny thing even :) I love your work!

[@PixelArchitect]

Totally agree. It might be one of those things we add to the game over time - to give a greater sense that the open world is alive. Appreciate the idea!

[@Kali-Yuga-Peace-Corp]

Anna May? That is the funniest pun I have heard in forever. Love your work.

[@AllHailKingGila]

Bro the hype Is so big on this. Keep it up. Cant wait for the next devlog

[@PixelArchitect]

Appreciate it! Excited to show the new additions :)

[@peculiar_wood]

Another great thing about moss besides looking super cool, is that while a tree absorbs like, 1 ton of carbon in 40 years, moss can absorb 50 tons of carbon in 1 year. I don’t know how mush moss that is, but still. Trees aren’t going to save the world, moss is

[@hwallnut581]

I kinda feel like there should be a separation between the grass and the overgrown moss on the house. Maybe like a stronger shadow or it gradually turning a different color just so we know where the grass(floor tiles) ends and the moss(wall tiles) starts! Love your work tho! Super inspiring!

[@mamamia1159]

An idea that, I think, would amazingly improve the game atmosphere, and bring the game to life is: Point of view locations, a location when stood on shows and art of the location, like the entry door, windows, the fish market or anything you chose. Of course not all areas have to have this, only unique ones. Hope you get the idea Nice video nevertheless, still hyped for the game.

[@PixelArchitect]

Not a bad idea, but would be pretty time consuming. We were initially planning something like that for when interacting with NPCs, but will have to see how much time we have to work with. Could also be a feature added after the initial release :)

[@twomur_]

these are fr my favorite types of videos! so relaxing and interesting to watch! you’re game really stands out from the rest of the top down RPGs because you put so much details into the little things instead of copy and pasting houses all over the map! can’t wait to see the success of this game keep ur up

[@ekut1922]

I love these overgrown style buildings, your videos honestly make me want to pick up a pen and just sketch some buildings when I have time

[@christiantownsend6846]

Congratulations on your first sponsor!! I love your videos! Can’t wait to play Chef RPG

[@Weckacore]

The time and effort spent on not only the farmhouse but the video too is astounding.

[@_computerra]

The perfectionism with which you work is incredible! It looks GREAT

[@_Lucas.]

Another amazing video!! I love seeing behind the scenes, I think its so great that you just get stuck into it and sort out the little details later. I wish that was something I was better at doing.

[@PixelArchitect]

Thanks :) I've gotten used to the habit of just rushing in and drawing things. These drawing won't start to look good until you are like 80% done, and since it's digital art, it's easy to fix things if parts of the drawing don't look good.

[@avatary5388]

Really cool how you bring the character of your npcs in their rooms to life! Looking forward for more awesome and inspiring content like this ☺️

[@assumzaek]

Love your videos! That blend of devlog with sprinkled architectural knowledge is perfect imo! Can't wait for the next one!

[@hodtoyt3964]

Amazing job Noah, this game will be timeless I feel like. A game you can always return to, if you wanna wind down, and relax, while still be entertained!

[@PixelArchitect]

Haha yeah easy to get carried away and overworked on a project like this

[@hodtoyt3964]

@@PixelArchitect I can imagine. But keep it up!

[@fatmario8244]

This is so beautiful, I don’t think any game can outmatch this outstanding art style

[@Daealis]

Whoooooo a new videos! Two things that I thought didn't quite work or stuck out as bothering me eye. First, the ground on the outside seems to just flat out swallow the house. Just based on lighting alone, I think one would expect the transition to the wall to have some shading difference to the flat ground that points to the sky. As is, it feels more like the house is just sinking to the meadow. The second point was that there was light shining in from both sides of the house on the top floor at the same intensity. While I get why - outside being far more brighter - it still made it feel like there was a disconnect on the decision where the main light source should be. But what a beautiful house regardless!

[@PixelArchitect]

Appreciate the feedback. Will definitely come back and adjust some things in the future, especially the lighting

[@elis2506]

Awesome design and video, as always! This is my comfort channel, ESPECIALLY after a long, stressful day. I'm glad the channel is growing and can't wait to play the game!

[@karylleremoroza6605]

I've never been this excited for a game release, take all your time you need if you so you can get that satisfying finish. I will check the channel from time to time to know if it's released yet. Can't wait~

[@quandolli]

loved this video so much, i always feel like i'm learning new ways to design spaces when i watch your videos! if you haven't already done so, i would really recommend looking at 'gamer set up/room tour' videos for inspiration re: the cyberpunk elements. imo, adding colored lighting and neon decor to anna-may's room would really help sell the 'futuristic gamer' aspect and also visually set her room even more apart from the rest of the house, with all of its natural lighting and color palettes.

[@jacob6878]

The beauty of your creations never cease to amaze me. I could watch your videos all day. I love how much thought goes into every single aspect of creating the building/environment. You are incredibly inspiring!

[@iocity9607]

Ah these videos are so inspiring honestly, thank you for sharing them :))

[@PixelArchitect]

My pleasure :) Glad you are enjoying these!

[@consumeproduce]

It's really inspiring to watch you talk us through your creative process. Thanks for sharing another awesome update.

[@Alybobson]

The whole space you created looks amazing! I didn't know just how much charm different wallpapers on the same wall would add to a rustic home! Love the design of the house, especially the upstairs. When I see the grass-covered roof It makes me think that would be a very cool place to so sit down and chill on with a drink or a book :)

[@tofu6190]

this is so beautiful and i can see how much hard work you've put into this game. I hope you won't lose your motivation my dude, don't forget to take breaks to avoid being burnt out.

[@gabrielmerchant]

Wow. This was one hell of a way to find out about and get me into your game. Immaculately done. Thank you!!

[@vivianle2379]

I love the process of the A-shaped roofed house, i think the plants were a nice touch to the interior. rooting for you on progress of the game!

[@kirap7729]

This is such a neat video! I really enjoy seeing you go through the whole process and hearing thoughts behind it. Great outcome too.

[@TheThirdPrice]

I love how you approach the design from a genuine architectural pov, thinking about the actual usefulness of the house

[@teenagecuriosity5664]

This art piece somehow makes me feel so connected to a fantasy land where every thing is calm and naturally aesthetic giving off a cozy and welcoming feeling.

[@mewwww17]

It's been great to follow the journey and watch your pixel art steadily improve!

[@YanneMoreira]

Amazing! Loved how you break down the design process and the attention to detail, the final results are beautiful.

[@Aranumm]

I feel like a wilder range of color for small things such as plates, mugs, cups or glasses would sell this even more to me. Give it that feel of everything being secondhand or gifted to them, but that's just a nitpick I love the designs you end up with!

[@ajp2206]

That wouldn’t go too well with the pixel art style. Visual clutter is an imp factor that the Dev has to keep in mind while doing this

[@del5807]

I'm so excited for this game, it looks beautiful and I cannot wait to see the mechanics and everything you add to it.

[@AngryFry700]

Bruhhh it's crazy how much thought goes into these😵

[@bedy666]

Hey, I feel kinda bad for giving you ''advice'' since you know what you're doing :D, one thing I noticed tho is that the interior looks like there's no one actually living there - everything is clean, tidied up and almost seems like it's meant for some showcase of the house. I would imagine the gamer girl room more dirty since she's busy playing, her bed not being so made up. Downstairs there's maybe broken cabinet in the kitchen, some stuff just lying around on the floor cause no one had time to put it back and overall more imperfections...in my opinion doing this could bring just a little more immersion or storytelling elements (or call it whatever you want :D) I hope you kinda get the idea where I'm going with this. (maybe you meant to do that and this is just placeholder or maybe the family is very strict and cares about that stuff but even then :D) Anyway, love the progress and can def see you improving.

[@JosiahJames-h1c]

I think it's the art style

[@iridophorium]

I really like your videos, especially these dev logs. Hope you and your team are doing well! I look forward to seeing the character redesign thing that you talked about in the future. Have a good day.

[@hiyoriiki1155]

I love this so much! I was kinda hoping this was also a game because I'd soooo play it. It looks absolutely beautiful and so cute!

[@Biboover]

The game looks so aesthetically pleasing, another great video once again.

[@yveltalsea]

I cant imagine how much work goes into this, I love all the cozy vibes of the entire game ;; personally for me I wish the character models would have as unique of a vibe as the rest of the world, they seem a bit stiff in proportions compared to the vibrant and stylized world. The art for the close up shots (I'm assuming for conversation) looks INSANELY amazing though. This is really a work of art and I hope you have fun doing the rest of this, can't wait to play it :')

[@melody.-.1839]

COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS TILL THIS GAME RELEASES

[@KauanHenrique-ie7nu]

HEY, THE HOUSE INTERIOR LOOKS AMAZING, I LOVE THE WALLPAPER, IT BRINGS SO MUCH LIFE TO THE AMBIENCE. IT WOULD BE COOL IF THE CHARACTER'S ROOMS WERE BLOCKED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME, SINCE NO ONE LETS A STRANGER ENTER THEIR ROOM, AND AS THE PLAYER DEVELOPS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CHARACTERS, THE HOME'S ROOMS WOULD COME TO OPEN REVEALING NEW THINGS LIKE LORE, ITEMS , SKILLS AND EVEN RECIPES.

[@Nidikumbaa]

Your content is honestly super inspiring

[@caldepen372]

Amazing and lovely! Two random ideas, a small Irish type thick window in the master bedroom over to the left of the wall so as to fit just under the sloped roof and/or a small rounded dormer window (that you cannot see from the inside but sheds light) in the upstairs bathroom. I stayed in an Irish farm cottage a while back that had a small rounded dormer window in to the bathroom that had a slow leak. Drip, drip, drip... in to a potted plant the owners had put there! Random thoughts tho! I have wishlisted this on Steam, and plan on just wandering about, exploring.

[@PixelArchitect]

Those details definitely makes the world more immersive. Would be cool to add these kind of details in a final round of polish before release. Appreciate the comment!

[@artemisDev]

can't wait to get my hands on the game, feels like I will melt into those crispy pixels.

[@annacarolina5134]

I really love the interior but I think that maybe you should brighten up the colors downstairs. It looks a bit constraining and unwelcoming and i don't feel like it really gives out that homely vibe the exterior exudes. Just a tip and I could be wrong but yeah.
