THE BEST Game For Building Hobbit Homes

[@jupiterthree5228]

One of my favorite things about Enshrouded is the fact that we can clip items through walls and other objects. So many other games make the build items have massive collision boxes.

[@patrickpaulo34]

is this doable on normal gameplay?

[@axelhopfinger533]

@@patrickpaulo34 Haven't seen any abnormal gameplay yet, so probably.

[@jaimecouto9450]

It reminds me a lot of Old Days Sims Construction, the detail on Building its Awesome

[@bananasaur5209]

@@patrickpaulo34 There are no mods for this game. So yeah, the only gameplay you see is normal gameplay.

[@alexdevcamp]

Yeah it's an unintuitive design choice as a game programmer/designer, but I hope the industry realizes this is what you need to let users create good buildings

[@askaror470]

In my opinion, Enshrouded has one of the best building systems ever.

[@Bigs4Show]

100%

[@wanderingkrieger8265]

and its only in early access which brings me hope

[@smittysurvival]

It's definitely one of the top ones. Voxel based building has it's pros and cons, but Enshrouded has some innovative systems that are very promising. It's certainly early access and there some refining to do, but the potential here is immense!

[@Smackindaface]

Such a brave unique opinion

[@IdkwhymynamecantjustbeCody]

@@Smackindaface?

[@Fantasyze]

You can tell the devs put their heart and soul into this game. What a great building system, other similar games should take note.

[@smittysurvival]

Agreed. Early Access titles can be real stinkers, and what they've released has really been quite a pleasant surprise! Lots of potential here

[@bemlok]

I hope they are fine without a heart

[@BabySauronDDL]

This made me want to play enshrouded, build 3d models in blender, binge watch LOTR&The Hobbit, and study architecture. Someone give this man a goddamn award!

[@haspian7980]

This is by far the best hobbit hole I've seen so far! Love the design, the detail, the furniture! All of it fits the theme so well! I had the feeling Gandalf is jumping by with his smoky pipe to give me a ring and throws me out to Mordor.

[@smittysurvival]

Thank you so much! Haha seeing an old wizard walk through my door and give me an epic quest would bring a tear to me eye 🥲

[@sirflimflam]

I have wanted to make a hobbit home in every survival crafting game, and every game has let me down in some way. Seeing the ease in which you built this really excites me. I'm still early in, but when I get some more building blocks unlocked, I'm absolutely building a hobbit home like this.

[@axelhopfinger533]

This game is made for Hobbit holes and cave fortresses! It's a dwarven builder's dream!

[@ince55ant]

its actually the easiest way to build a home in this game. like being able to place down large blocks in the ground then instantly delete them allows you to dig out huge spaces really quickly.

[@6Dirt6]

Eating some chocolate while watching this video, was the relaxing time I needed before going to bed and having sweet sweet dreams. Thanks

[@smittysurvival]

Snacked up like a real fan! That's what I'm talking about! Glad you enjoyed!

[@DannieJ312]

Such a great building system. I love it. I watch these to inspire me because I suck at building. Then I go into my game, place a pillar and go “welp, there went all my creativity. Now, let’s go die a bunch”

[@flamingsteve5883]

the building is so intuitive in this game, im not as detail oriented as you, but i was able to do things that many other games dont allow, for example the fact that you can place a wall inside another wall to make more unique builds

[@nicholasmann1832]

Wow this is absolutely wonderful, the sudden spaciousness once inside stays so true to a hobbit home as well. I envy your ingenuity.

[@mimiepperson7116]

You are a true artist. A GOAT! I love this and cannot wait to create my own Shire in this game. I’m loving the game so far! I am also adjusting to the new building system, but so far am really happy with it. Thanks for sharing! ☺️

[@LoopyLongplays]

When I playthrough this game, I'll definitely use this build as inspiration. I love making a cozy little hobbit hole. Excellent video as always Smitty :)

[@bitofalice]

Ok... this video has me convinced to buy this game, dang... So good!

[@Drmobius]

I think its so important to have an idea in your head of what your end goal is, as it helps direct the build into a more natural looking final build. The way you tried to express the circle elements on the outside really helped sell the final vision, and I love how you pulled the earth back over the top, really helping it look built into the earth. Such a great video! I really gotta get this game, I love building and decorating houses in games!

[@smittysurvival]

Ahhh a fellow builder I see. Having a good process is always important. Starts with a vision, even if just a general concept! So glad that you enjoyed the video though! Building in games is the best!

[@Drmobius]

@@smittysurvival fellow builder indeed! The first and one of the only videos I ever uploaded was a fallout 4 settlement build haha. Right now I’m toying around in no man’s sky, but I am definitely going to be getting enshrouded as soon as I get my pc working again (stuck on a Mac right now and enshrouded doesn’t play on Mac, sad day).

[@ilfantorangenil5045]

This must be the most advanced crafting/building system in a game i have ever seen, can’t wait to start playing it😁

[@Dingusdongus257]

The first time i saw this building system i knew great things were to come. Beautiful hobbit hole.

[@dustyone1648]

Your building idea is nearly over enshrouded by your brilliant video technic and narration talent. Thank you.

[@onecosynaya]

oh the impression when you first walk in the door is amazing! great build!

[@Indigo-196]

Nice build. Your ability to use the game's tools to express your vision is excellent.

[@smittysurvival]

Thank you! Yes I love games that allow creative expression! This game has some good tools at our disposal too.

[@hayze_ablaze]

That's what I forgot to buy at the shop yesterday! Chocolate! Yes ​@smittysurvival thank you for that message at the beginning there. It is actually a really lovely reminder. Subscribed!

[@billybob-fw3vr]

Buildings look so cool in this game, makes me think about buying it

[@ince55ant]

also great for renovating dilapidated homes. the building system allows you to fully repair any broken down building on the map so you can plop down a way point and get to work. theres a great spot near the first tower, its a big church with a farm next to it so lots of free soil. you can fully repair it and have a pretty sweet base thats actually part of the world. kinda limited by how many waypoint things you have but its a fun gameplay loop, getting all the right blocks, using the scaffolding to get the placement right, adding in features like wells or lighting....

[@smittysurvival]

This is actually a great idea. There are so many ruins in the game, that a full rehab of a settlement would be a fun project!

[@akuez1735]

At 4:15 you reminded me of the line in the hobbit. "In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, bare, sandy hole with nothing to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that meant comfort."

[@daedaluxe]

Holy fuck, I legit might just have to get this game just to sink all of my free time in building cozy cottages.

[@smittysurvival]

Honestly it's where it shines the most! This game does cozy really well

[@McCringie]

man it would be so awesome if they added functioning chimneys for those fireplaces, the smoke coming out of the hobbit hole is always the #1 thing that caught my attention from when i first saw one as a kid

[@silverwings0]

I don’t need another building game I don’t need another- ooh, hobbit houses! Great video, I enjoyed watching from start to finish! 😄

[@anyoldthing]

really nice little place to live, l especially love the way you made the window, very clever use of the square frame, it gives it a sort of oriental theme but still works well

[@BobyChanMan]

The cave digging ability is magnificent in this game. I have a cave with a demonic face carved into once side and its eyes are holes in the ceiling through which sunlight filters in, it’s truly epic

[@akiraison4098]

I WAS WONDERING WHEN YOU'D RELEASE ENSHROUDED CONTENT!! YES !

[@smittysurvival]

It's been a fun switch up for sure! Definitely a game I'll try to split time with Valheim! Both are so much fun to build in!

[@SwangoZone]

Very good my man, you dont do much talking and more narrating voice with showing the build and that's perfect, you're doing very well with this strategy

[@BlackwaterBronn]

Nailed it! ❤ When can we move in?

[@melkerstromgren2133]

Yes!!! I've been hoping for you to try this game! Even though I still prefer Valheims building system I've still had a lot of fun building in this game. It's very different from Valheim but that's what makes it fun y'know, trying something new. And seeing this proves to me that It's possible to make some incredible stuff in Enshrouded. it's still a very new game but the general feeling I've gotten is that given time, Enshrouded has the potential to become an Incredible game, not just for building but a great survival game in general. I'm looking forward to seeing what becomes of this game!

[@jenkem4464]

Yep, I love both of them for what they are. Valheim for the structural foundation logic, which is a fun challenge and reward loop, and Enshrouded for the freedom and beautiful dynamic procedural voxel building and materials.

[@chaz916gaming]

A home any hobbit would be proud of! Beautiful work.

[@laurinrue7421]

Enshrouded makes me wanna live in the game with that build system

[@audreywinter6910]

Oooh, look who's conquering this new building game! I haven't done much building myself so far, only some walls and a roof to keep up appearances, because I'm still quite busy exploring the game and find all the materials. But I'm absolutely not surprised that Smitty would come up with something special and I can't wait what you're gonna come up with next!

[@smittysurvival]

Lol trying! It's totally different from Valheim, but fun to switch things up a bit! Definitely have some ideas :)

[@PrivateInfo-xe1cl]

This video makes the game seem a lot more desirable than the playthroughs I have watched! I'm not fluent in what type of building stuff is available aside from what you have shown, but you immediately made me think about making a Dwarven Mine. Great stuff!

[@axelhopfinger533]

It is quite solid for a co-op survival crafting game. And while it is meant to be played with friends, you can perfectly fine play it solo and it's not boring in the least. If you unlock everything in early access right now, you can build a ton of stuff already in a surprisingly big and varied game world with comparative ease. From a humble hut over large manors or even straight up castles, although it still lacks many decorative elements. A lot more easier if you use a trainer to spare yourself the tedious resource gathering for bigger builds. And you can build quite big, entire villages or massive castles with a flame altar upgraded to maximum diameter.

[@wazthatme]

Wow someone really cared about giving us the tools to build. Also great build

[@owenleynes7086]

im impressed by this game from your gameplay, never heard of it til this video

[@ian-exe7531]

I had no idea this game was even a thing and this one video sold it for me got to finish up some work and then will give it a try

[@grimmdoesgaming]

I'm not a creative person when it comes to building games like this. It's awesome to watch these kinds of videos though! Amazing build!

[@smittysurvival]

Just takes a little inspiration! Everyone can be creative with practice!

[@dibster8168]

this video sold me on the game since one of my favorite parts in a survival game is building and wow does building have lots of depth. Nice video!

[@Terrince_Tate]

Absolutely phenomenal building. Definitely going to ge this game soon.

[@smittysurvival]

Thank you! Would definitely recommend it!

[@xerxes7446]

Haha props to you, I got a snack and a drink and searched for a video to look while munching, and then you mention to grab an snack and drink, made me smile :D :)

[@smittysurvival]

Lol! You're a natural! 😂

[@Machinify]

THANK YOU for showcasing just how awesome this game really is

[@Sunny-hd4ds]

What a wonderful build! I’m so thankful you included the interior design portion, as a fellow builder I got a lot of great tips for my current build. Thank you!

[@Mark-qj5kp]

Okay, so I knew I absolutely adored this game after logging my first 6 hours, but seeing this just took my love for the game to the next level :-)

[@philippkleina7757]

wow beautifully built. More of this please, I find it difficult to implement such things myself, especially when it comes to interior design, so I'd be happy to have more to recreate.

[@Paperhatchett]

The game is so gorgeous the building looks incredible

[@smittysurvival]

Game is very pretty! Nice lighting and great textures! Building is definitely a high point for the game as well. It can feel janky at times, but the results are quite nice! Very nice for a voxel based system.

[@ebonhawken574]

Love this game so much! What a cozy build!

[@NILBOG13]

You and others like you have so much patience, I built a huge box with 2 floors and was it.

[@smittysurvival]

Hey, boxes with floors get the job done. Builders like me who spend all this time making it stuff look pretty have something wrong with us lol.

[@Jimmith829]

im so glad your getting into this game

[@smittysurvival]

I have be pleasantly surprised! Definitely has some great things going for it. Will be great to splice in with Valheim as both are great games for building

[@gwerkcules2752]

Can't wait to see more from you on this game!

[@SniperSpy10]

The layout of your hobbit hole is like 90% accurate to one I once built in minecraft, gave me some weird dejavu vibes, but nice vid defo subbing

[@skeletor1259]

Awesome! A new world to surprise us even more with your talent for building and creativity!

[@weshouldntbefriends]

We're currently making Shire City on our server. The biggest civilization of hobbit holes known to man.

[@smittysurvival]

That is so EPIC! Would love to see it sometime

[@weshouldntbefriends]

We'd love to have you on board@@smittysurvival Let me know if you want to join a small 3 person server!

[@makergaming2022]

Great video. Subscribed. The hole to bring the natural light in was a cool idea.

[@smittysurvival]

Welcome! Appreciate the subscription! Yeah that idea actually worked quite well!

[@Aaron-mj9ie]

Looks great on the outside. Those sharp, square, pointy corners look to blocky on the inside.

[@smittysurvival]

Yeah curves are tough to do in this game for sure

[@chrisvela4860]

Unrelated to the title but the fact Keen Games went from Portal Knights to Enshrouded is fuckin INSANE!! Finally i will have a reason to play my PC that i built 3 months ago and played once😂

[@IlseMulAuthor]

I really like how you can use the terrain like this! It's far more advanced than Valheim from what I see in your video 😄 For now Enshrouded is on my wishlist, but hopefully I get to play it in the future 😃 Thank you for showing us how you built your hobbit hole! It truly has that vibe!

[@DaReal_Magic]

Well done, that looks reall great. I know what im gonna attempt to build once i get this game

[@smittysurvival]

Thanks! Lol a hobbit hole is a must. Going to be a right of passage in this game

[@chloekaftan]

some tips: you can get books from the abandoned homes for free, go to any large abandoned settlement in the game and just loot them off the shelves. i recommend the woodgard town just west of the springlands ancient spire. plenty of abandoned homes to raid and plenty of books around.

[@smittysurvival]

Great information! Thank you!

[@itskeopi]

Really wonderful. Thank you.

[@smittysurvival]

Thank you! Appreciate the support!

[@mcft81]

I'm very excited to see what you build in this game!!

[@LancelotBonecrusher]

So happy to see you building in this game and that your first build was a Hobbit home! Can't wait to see what else is to come!! Cheers!

[@axelhopfinger533]

Very cozy. Hope they'll add round doors and doorways in future updates. Also 45° beams and elements as well as the ability to rotate and place objects at an 45° angle or even better, a free rotation system like in Valheim. Just a little critique: you have quite a few fireplaces in there, but i've seen no chimneys. It looks comparatively well ventilated with all the big open windows, but still.

[@lodunost]

I'm getting some serious Willjum vibes. O.o Very enjoyable.

[@envy2232]

Really happy about the fact u start playing this specific game, hope for more interesting builds! Btw, i try to get inspiration from your valheim Edoras build and try to build same style colony in enshrouded. Slowly but steady progressing. for solo player with big ideas it's hard to progress fast lol... Anyway, peace buddy, will keep eye on your channel.

[@grandmarnier3746]

You've given me great ideas for tackling a recreation of Bilbo's Bag End hobbit hole. You've also earned a sub! Great job man.

[@FEelDaPAinO]

Had this video pop up into my feed and I have to say I am really glad it did, I am speechless. You have definitely earned a subscriber. Like you said, it's not a huge project, but it does a really good job of showing off the level of detail you are capable of achieving in this game. Still working on getting to that level myself, I've always been more of an efficiency over ascetics kind of guy when it comes to building in survival games but I have always wanted to build something that looks incredible like this. Unfortunately, habits are hard break, but this video definitely gives me some inspiration, so please keep up the great work.

[@Asdosie]

Really good, Please do more of this, Found it very relaxing.

[@andrewofaiur]

Ok fine, I'll get the game. You sold it better than any other reviewers on youtube.

[@smittysurvival]

THISSSSS... Enshrouded could benefit so much from a creative mode. It would unlock some truly magnificent projects

[@silsternensand]

There are Flower blocks around the cathedral of Westwood, wich can be gathered. I think these would look very nice with a hobbit house style.
