What about recording stuff that shouldn't be revealed but only releasing it in a vid after the game is concluded? That way we'll still see the process of creating the minigame, but won't get spoiled of it. (I often think that when people do pranks and maybe like don't show it or something so that the audience doesn't tell the target of the prank, why not just record it, but don't publish until the thing of note has happened)

Honestly probably could come down to personal things like maybe he won’t be around during the event or is unsure if he is going to be able to do it or he could just be busy that’s always a possibility.

[@sirtainlee8725]

Remember, a good mystery is designed to have lots of decoys, one of which will be real. There should be a very dark alley, too, just to throw everyone off.

[@lickenchicken143]

A glut of suspects would keep the people interactions interesting, to be sure, but that should happen organically anyway with this lot. A whodunnit when it's not clear how ANYONE coulda dunnit, like a JFK magic bullet kind of thing, maybe not as macabre as some of the Hannibal murders, but that kind of baffling no leads no clear pattern everyone who knew them is aghast, the newsies aren't sure what to call it, thing? There's almost certainly at least one person among the hermits who have watched and read waaaay too many murder mysteries who could be a wellspring of inspiration, should Iskallman dare to dip his bucket.

[@thechair83]

It's a shame Mumbo won't be a part of the murder mystery, but it will be incredible nonetheless! Can't wait to see it develop, season 10 has been incredible Iskall you have put out so much content, take your break and enjoy yourself :)

[@GamerGump]

It would be cool if the pub was big enough to get all the participants in it at once, its a good place to bring people together for accusations and deliberations.

[@TheIndian41]

Ren sounds like a crazy Carl

[@evawettergren7492]

Yes! That was my first thought too.

[@LeonLucena]

Iskall really has been my main POV this season. So much content dude!

[@analogbunny]

I know the corner house/pub is no good for this, but it seems like end stone brick is often overlooked in build pallets. In most cases it's just too bright, but for this street (and "chaospunk" in general) it seems like a good material.

[@digitaldritten]

yeah the two end blocks (endstone and purpur) don't get used a lot

[@analogbunny]

@digitaldritten Endstone bricks complement the sandstone set quite well, when used properly

[@spencerruston406]

One pretty British thing you could do for the pub is bring back the 3 windows on the top, but use brick wall to block it up. It's a thing you can see on some buildings from the late 1600's onwards as a way to not pay a higher window tax. Would be some neat character for the building and some extra intrigue for it

[@drwillg1365]

I think it would be cool to record the lore making with stress and release it after the event is done

[@cuz9892]

might be a bit boring tho because we would already know how everything happens and who the murderer is

When you and stress started theorising about this murder mystery game, I thought it would just be a cool concept which never gets made like most things on hermitcraft lol. I'm so glad that this is actually happening and how its coming along, and it sound so cool. Kinda sad that mumbo, grian, gem and impulse all aren't participating, I would've loved seeing them be a part of this. Either way I know it's going to be AMAZING, I'm looking forward to it so much.

[@Grizzdrop]

I can't wait for the murder mystery! too bad Impulse and Gem aren't joining in but it sounds like you have a good group to improv with

[@tereza_c]

I feel like the problem with this building was that it looked to be built on a different scale than the buildings around it. It had the third story windows at the same height as the second story windows were on the building next to it, and them being thin only furthered this issue.

[@evawettergren7492]

Personally I think that is what makes the street feel like it is from somewhere in England or Europe. There are often buildings from different eras built right next to eachother and some are tall, some narrow, some take twice as much room as all the rest. It is exactly like this.

[@Wycktorr]

This is heaven. Just finished the last vidskall video and instantly there is a next one

[@Glacial7]

it kinda surprises me that grian doesnt want to play, though admittedly he does tend to just want to stick with his own little group in the server

[@tommmychuck2769]

I think you need some sort of signage overhanging into the street to represent it being a pub

[@sara.gem.n.L]

That rascal Perry the Platypus gets around-- he's now in Iskall's mind!

[@MrJonVogt]

Suggestion: maybe give the hermits some time before the actual start to tweak the decor in their house, so they can develop their own understanding of their character.

[@thod-thod]

Pubs here in England generally have some muted shades on the sign (generally one painted on the pub, and one hanging off) (red/green banners + terracotta) as well as wood in the construction. I wouldn’t see it as a pub until the signs are in place. Maybe a block of deepslate redstone ore next to where the sign is could be fading paint?

Your theory about several colorful houses washing out the effect is exactly what Stress did, and it looks great!

[@xyianth1723]

I love your content, and this murder mystery game sounds like it is going to be excellent. There is one thing that separates your buildings from Stress's buildings though: yours have too much symmetry. If you look at Stress's side of the street, she doesn't texture/shade her buildings symmetrically. It is especially evident in the roof designs. I think if you broke up the symmetry a little bit, the whole street would come alive. This is just the opinion of someone that would take 10x as long and end up with something half as good. Loving your builds this season!

[@JenelleMinecraf]

for one of the houses i think you should maybe make one really small cottage that an old lady would live in with lots of plants and greenery and stuff !!

[@Cluemily]

I love when murder mystery stuff has such obvious and silly names like "the murder street". It's just so comedic imagining all these people living on "the murder street" and being shocked that there's been a murder committed.

[@kosherpickle2598]

I think the murderer should be allowed into other houses to plant false evidence

[@thod-thod]

If the ladders end up being parkour-able, surely that’s for the best? Interesting places to jump means more interaction with the build

[@thod-thod]

I like the build, but (I’m sorry) it isn’t a traditional English pub. English pubs are usually wooden, wide, generally the shortest building around. The second floor hangs out over the first one, the outside is clean and never dark, to attract customers, and there are one or two signs in fairly muted colours (generally one painted on, one hanging off the side). The roofs are generally thatch or slate. I can absolutely see it as a cool designer house, or a tech café, or a new restaurant on the block, but it really doesn’t scream “pub”. All that said, it is a very good build.

[@tommaltby8216]

For the pub, a tiered approach coming into the street may work for the 2 sets of three windows. Breaks up the facade

[@robynsiemsen1352]

You should put an alley in between this building and the next to give it a more sinister vibe, maybe with a rundown house at the end.

[@rowanrooks]

I kinda love having one black spooky house. Every neighborhood needs one. I feel like Iskall could have fully leaned into the haunted house vibes and used the red mangrove wood for the details. The jungle wood also looks nice tho.

[@rowanrooks]

Now that I've finished the video, I think Iskall made the right color choices here. The copper and prismarine roof really helped tie everything together. ^_^ I love how much Iskall is challenging himself to try building with different colors and styles this season. It seems like everyone is branching out and trying new things, and it's really awesome to see. 💚

[@MommaBaum]

Iskall- for the next house on the Murder Mystery (MM) docket, you could try to make a house with a little front yard/courtyard. Also a house for you/stress to give out packets of info from/distribute items. The Bougie house with the courtyard 🤣 I love the pink/blue house! Side note but I just thought of it when you were talking about the fabulous color on that house: When I was growing up, there was a two story style Victorian house that was huge and imposing but stood on the corner lot in a busy city, so it was even more imposing. It was painted in various shades of hand painted camouflage and blue-very distinct, but even more so because it was run-down. In short, it was an eye-sore. This was back in the 90’s. I asked my mom why that house was painted so oddly and she told me the man had PTSD from Vietnam; I didn’t know what that meant at the time but it sounded like he would never recover from it. I drive by it from time to time and it is still the same house, but it has a different owner now. It’s fixed up and painted white.

[@zeikclaude]

Iskall, your also a great builder. you can come up with a design no ones think will work and making it an outstanding build. like what you said: weird in a good way! and we love your vibes not rushing to make mega builds but making many memorable moments for the hermits and your community.

i think the trick with fitting the Pub into that corner when you come walking up the street is to pull from BDubs design....the building at the end of the street just needs to be something that contrasts with the colors of the pub, so the pub stands out more on that corner as you walk up to it? also... a goood olde English/Irish Pub needs vines...
