The Record Shop and XP Bank! - Hermitcraft 10 | Ep 09

[@kingmozah4324]

Something I think would fit nicely into the cyberpunk town would be a hidden illegal trading/auction shop of some sort- a shady building that trades important (but possibly fake) items from seasons past. Ren's crown, the source of mycelium, A drill from The Big Dig, and a bunch of fun other callbacks would be neat to see!

[@bobbysmp9245]

That will be so cool

[@strana6875]

Could lean into what Joel did and have a axe fight club or something in that area

[@Havocbuilder]

That or a black market for hermits who want to sell stuff without a permit, (future rebellion?)

[@rham5618]

It could also have a stand for dwarven beards 😂

[@sambee2145]

I love the background & Timelapse music for the first bit! Gave me a moment to breathe on a busy, below 0 Celsius morning!

I love Etho's froglight, such a hard to obtain item being sold at a shop and only for 3 diamonds a stack? practically a steal

Armor stand holding xp bottle... For the bop-n-go. It'll look like vending machines. Cyberpunk

[@maikenelissen3767]

That's way better than my idea of trying to recreate an xp orb with like concrete or smth

[@artchick8024]

I was going to suggest the same thing

[@kaet8333]

That was my vote too! “Armor stand holding… bottle-o-enchanting? 30:16 “

[@blaise212]

Beat me to it

[@Stanzafly]

The pink + blue + green of the market stalls is giving strong powerpuff girls vibes. It would be cool if you had a cutesy anime/50s cartoon mascot character to advertise your game in the cyberpunk city. Maybe you could use glass panes as a hologram, floating in between a building or above in the sky?

[@haileythompson1559]

that’s such a good idea!

[@Blockminer12763]

Its honestly crazy to me how all the hermitcraft members are not only entertaining to kids but also to adults.. keep it up Impulse

[@SnyperMK2000JclL]

I think the main reason for me that this season feels so much better than previous seasons is because of 3 things. 1) everyone is slowing down and not using/abusing Creative Worlds nearly as much thus they are in world interacting with others far mor and far more naturally. 2) most everyone has decided to try to stick to the ground more and use elytra less as a day to day methods of getting around. This feeds back into #1 and allows for more interactions and less "oh hey i think that was so and so who flew over". 3) the most important, in my opinion, is only possible because of the above #1 and 2. Because of the above it has allowed many hermits to fall back into the "Lets Play" aspect of their videos and gets away from the "hey look what I did" jumpcut/timelapse heavy style. That in my opinion takes us the viewer out of the action, its really not that much fun to watch someone 3d print a copy of something over to the server. However its far more enjoyable to come along for the ride, get to see the choices, see the builds fill out in a more natural way as they build section A then B then detail, etc etc. All of these have brought the hermits closer and allowing them to naturally interact more often as well as allowing the viewer to feel like we are somehow playing on the server as well. Remember this MC video business all started to blow up in popularity when people would bring the viewers along and allow them to have input and help shape the series to ensure everyone has a fun time each and every video/stream... Remember its Lets Play, not Lets Watch Me Copy Paste.

[@impulseSV]

Very well stated!

[@_Meai_]

I second this, i think you nailed it on the head for how i feel too about this season!

[@OrigamiMarie]

Yeah, I have been watching more different Hermits this season because they're all playing with each other. Look At My Build can just be screenshots, and there are plenty of other Minecraft KZbinrs who make interesting and impressive builds. But Hermitcraft is the group to watch if you want the perfect blend of collaboration, chaos, and kindness.

[@plunderjoker1439]

100% this.

[@eledatowle8767]

I absolutely agree!

[@ykm_mirror_ghost5154]

For the glass display: Exp bottles with yellow and lime concrete blocks around them like bubbles!

[@WalterDaDog99]

He could also do heads of yellow concrete to make the “xp” smaller. Iskall has been buying most of the heads from wandering traders so he might have some

[@saidsarapng]

I was literally thinking of this!! So I hope impulse sees this idea!

[@JudeTheAutomaton]

Yessss, Xb Lava lamp! perfectly cyberpunk

[@Hermitcraft_X]

​@@JudeTheAutomaton Lava lamp idea is genius

[@50sRockChick]

Enjoyed the episode a lot.

[@MazarRackham]

3:00 When I first saw the side of the building with your new texturing, my first thought was "Wow, Bdubs did a really good job!" But then you said you did it!!! Holy cow Impulse, that so good! You've gotten so much better as a builder and it's really showing this season! I think Bdubs is wearing off on you, and vice versa! Bdubs has done more redstone this season. I love seeing you guys work together.

[@christophero1496]

For the villager here are two profession ideas - I think the shepherd with the loom looks like they could sell records, the hat and clothes give off some hipster vibes. Another option is the cleric if you want to go for eccentric style/vibe, and match the color of the amethyst design of the store.

[@catboygremlin]

100% call the villager Ely also re: "too pretty for cyberpunk" obnoxiously pretty, clean corpo buildings are just as much a part of cyberpunk as run down apartments and dingy back alleyways! - played shadowrun as a kid

[@belledogplaysagame7577]

something that could make it feel more closed in and cramped on the street is putting displays for the shops out into the street and sidewalk, which real stores frequently do.

[@Arizon_Rose]

With all those frog lights you're playing Kermitcraft

[@BazingaBec]

To be honest I prefer this style way more. The chill of this season is so much more enjoyable, and learning with you and watching the process is infinitely more enjoyable than just watching a time lapse

[@Side_-ts6zf]

could be cool to put swamp villager in the record shop. they got purple and green outfit. match the vibes. also rename the record with some hermit's songs and project like "hermit gang" or X's album could be really really cool ! keep up the good work ! can't wait to see the evolution of the city ! love from france

[@louchies]

I was thinking this exactly!!

[@bretttrimble2959]

Impy, my suggestion would be: if you want it to be a marketplace alley, make the road tighter between than the normal road network. That will really drive home the “I’m surrounded by overhanging buildings and signs” feeling! Love the slow vibes and the talking through, keep up the good work brother!

[@Timelord79]

I don’t entirely agree. If it‘s too crammed you cannot really take in the buildings and builds anymore. However once a second building is there, overhangs and connections between them higher up will help create that feeling.

[@kimibean3975]

Can I just say that both of those suggestions are amazing and it's really interesting to see the different approaches!

[@jorisdeboer8517]

Yeah, he could make the middle section of the building lean a bit more forward as well. That would maybe break up the flat side of the tall structure, and give it more texture. I think making bridges or connections above between the buildings would be really cool, as you can make it feel like you walk through a cyberpunk alley more. In my view, such objects above your head can also help in the minigame later on when hermits start visiting!

[@williamramsay7448]

Or if he were to add street vendors, small carts that line the roads making it a double alley rather than just a single road, but a 2 sided walking area plus the road in the middle.

[@dawntreader1247]

and adding bikes and carts and armour stands on the road

[@friendzenn]

the relaxed vibes are SO nice, i especially liked that the pop-up shop wasn't time-lapsed, it felt so chill and was such a good bit of the video!

[@RandyPrimus]

Agreed!

I absolutely love the "talking through your build process" episode! I know it's not for everyone, but it gives Hypnotizd vibes, and it's one of the reasons I love his videos so much! Maybe in the future, if you get a lot of people saying they prefer timelapses, you could do like an "episode 10.5 'building the abandoned mall'" where the greater "episode 10" just includes that build as a timelapse.

[@packingbacon]

Great!

[@iSam3000]

Impulse I absolutely loved the way you built it with us, I think what you made is absolutely brilliant and I feel like we, the audience, had more of an emotional connection to the build seeming as we were more part of the design process and watching your thought process was really inspiring and entertaining as well Love you, love the streams, love phasmo (you got me into phasmo) love the fact that you do content full time and can’t wait for Skizz to do it too, which is inevitable. You guys make me smile all the time

I was thinking along the lines of Hipp and Hopp

[@shaylin6948]

I think Scratch would also be a fun name. Like a record scratch. Maybe that could be the name of the chicken. Then it would be a fun little easter egg no one will ever see.

[@nimiugn]

Great idea! btw it should be "Ellie"

[@sirromap1021]

I vote for Sam the Record Man. An homage to a store in Toronto Ontario that closed in the early - mid 2000s. If we have other employees Ely and Jono would be great names too!

[@Neo-rn2mh]

I actually LOVE the pop up stalls in the shopping district. They remind me of the small stalls that businesses sometimes start out as before opening a permanent location just like in real life.

[@msclrhd]

I agree. The mix of small, medium, and large shops make the shopping district feel like it is alive and active. It also helps break up the area.

[@vismaykedilaya1318]

i see these SO much in india. it's such a vibe.

[@Haplo-san]

The public marketplaces are called "bazaar" sometimes popping up daily/weekly in pre-designated streets for a day and sometimes as a permanent shops for example; Grand Bazaar or Spice Bazaar of Istanbul, Bazaar of Tabriz, Tashkent Bazaar and The Coppersmith Bazaar of Gaziantep. So "small stalls" can be permanent too.

I don't know if you editing is different then other times but I loved this episode. I love the more casual chatty ness and more of your thought process. As always great content and excited to see what your base is going to be this session as you stated early in the episode.

[@emiliavalimaki1723]

I really enjoyed this longer and more laid back format! It's always fashinating to hear others thought process as well.

[@Timelord79]

If you want to add additional life to the music store, I would suggest a couple of Allays hanging around. They dance and vibe and bob to the music when it plays and they also glow (especially with shaders). A simple noteblock inside periodically triggered will keep them nearby and you can silence those with a player head. Should be easy to hide.

[@qwerty9118]

Parrots, too.

[@korceres6527]

parrots too!!!!

[@mramsey0412]

Add some slime balls in the glass to simulate XP balls floating up through the glass.

[@sethnek7266]

Maybe a couple bottles in frames on the ground like they have been dropped or discarded, and bottles o' enchanting could be signifiers too

[@raeraykc]

Or even use xp bottles themselves mixed in with the slime balls!

[@shaylin6948]

Maybe a bunch of slime balls. Then it would look like a lava lamp.

[@emilyhunt1812]

Great idea! I suggested green dye to symbolize money...forgetting that it isn't real ATM

[@BtDunce]

I am SO happy that you all are realizing we're here for your personalities as well as your building/redstone skills. Slow down, have fun, do cool stuff. I'm here for it.

[@1015resident]

I also love this new take they are all doing. The beginning of the season is always so much fun, but it often just gets rushed thru. I also love that they are going through the thought processes of builds. I want to learn how to build better myself and this allows me to absorb so much more inspiration than a time-lapse.

[@captain_noodles]

that ad transition was genius

[@binkw123]

I'm a big fan of the talking through the build. Timelapses are cool, and fun, but when it comes to the detail your putting in to something like this, it's fun to see the process.

[@dangitnicky]

The magenta and texturing on the sides adds SO MUCH. I'm super impressed! I enjoy your thought process. When I first laid eyes on the building I was like "oh why did he do it that way?" but now I kinda see the big picture and now I understand what you and Bdubs is trying to achieve. I'm now even more excited to see the final end product of this massive project.

[@unnaturalredhead1559]

32:11 to add to that- something overhead between the buildings on either side would definitely make it feel more squished. Some sky bridges or clotheslines would work.

[@AddisonMadura-xq6od]

I love the stringing clotheslines idea, but would wires fit the theme better? And possibly blend in lit candles to add liveliness and what could look like sparks for the wires!

[@Bugz_Iris]

Funny, I was thinking the same thing. Maybe even some shoes, lol.

About the river...you could just block the inner river from outside river with iron bars. Hermits can't get out, and you get more gritty atmosphere from the water

[@lindleya]

One thing I love about the cyberpunk style, is you can just keep adding details.Some styles if you add too much it ends up looking too busy, and detracts from the whole. But "busy" works for cyberpunk, it's kind of the whole point that everything is gritty, and dirty, and there's neon and noise in your face

[@Fred-oz3tw]

no its too much.

[@Lakosius]

But there are also the looming high industrial complexes that tower over the Neon illuminated streets. but i guess they will all come later.

[@liamengram6326]

The best way to think when building cyberpunk is older buildings that have been crumbling for decades due to dystopian mismanagement that have been cobbled together with tech that wasn't even conceivable when the buildings were originally built.

[@bambi.builds]

Yes, every time he talked about adding something extra, I cringed, but then it all came together in the end 🤩 looks so good!

[@eskainne2916]

Def enjoying the chill vibes this season. Listening to your thought processes on the smaller details of the build and what your goals are for them and how you decide to go about accomplishing that is really interesting too.

[@shannonphillips5004]

I love it when youtubers walk us through their building process! It kinda helps (me at least) to envision what your plan is. Also I have an idea for the armor stand in the glass, maybe take a lime green concrete block and put it as the head of the armor stand to make it seem like its a xp orb floating in the glass.

[@QLotus00]

Slimeballs!! they look more like the xp orbs

Just have to say that the small timelapse of building your pop up quartz shop was very well timed and everything to the music, was very cinematic. It really felt like the next step up or evolution from old Minecraft videos of a long segments of talking and building.

"Walking through process" is just perfect for me. Love this vibe!

[@laneprather2119]

One thing that could be kinda fun with your cyberpunk city story wise the citizens use the green dye as currency

[@ProBeansEater]

I really like the texturing you did on that side wall. I think your biggest weakness when it comes to building is too much symmetry, and that texture helped to break it out. Also, I enjoy the talk-through you tried in this episode more than the usual time lapses.

[@Lion-xl8gy]

I love the little real-time building sequences with relaxing music under it. it's such a different vibe from those high energy timelapses we're used to.

In the Bop N Go glass, you can put a custom texture item that looks like XP orbs, so they kind of look like fluid filled tubes full of XP.

Have you considered making the walls double wide so people can tag both the inside and the outside?

I soo thought they'd be using paintings, and was confused because I felt like it wouldn't fit. Gem was smart putting words behind a building where they wouldn't be seen, but I can't imagine any issues from tags without words

[@RobTFilms]

I know you're building the city with Bdubs, but it really feels like from both of your episodes that you're not really around each other that much? Perhaps a segment where you're 'discussing' pans for the city that you've already made to give us a bit more of an idea of exactly what's going on!

[@kyleeames8229]

Since you’re building cyberpunk, calling the furnaces in your XP shop Automated Authorization Machines (AAM) would fit nicely. It gives the vibe of the tools/armor having disabled features which the vendor has to authorize in the enchantments and reflects the anti-consumer practices of many modern tech giants.

[@coyoteeth]

The bubble elevator in green glass behind the xp bank looked really good when you could still see it behind where you put the terracotta. Including more visible bubble streams would really suit the vibe.

I love the commentary through the detailing process. Timelapses are great for long repetitive work, like at the beginning of the episode.

[@LiCastle25_]

The concept of an XP “atm” is super cool!! What if you used armor stands holding white and lime dye (or blocks) overlayed on top of each other in the glass to look like they are tubes of XP going through the channel into the machines! It can bring a sort of science aspect to the cyber punk that could be super interesting! Love your vids Impulse! 💜💜💜

So I love when KZbinrs do a walkthrough of what they're building, it's amazing, I'd say you keep doing it And You can maybe put an enderpearl with a lighter colored block "inside" to make it seem like an experience orb, using the armor stands inside the glass Maybe that would look cool

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

There are still bright and clean places in most Cyberpunk settings. Usually corporate locations.

[@rosysniper7366]

It would be a bit of a project, but I think a way to really add to the neon/cyberpunk look you could put a big platform at build height like a mob farm to keep the city dark all the time. (use things like lichen to make sure the light levels above 0 and light up the top of the platform to make sure you don't make an actual mob farm on accident)

[@citrisaurora1182]

The contrast of the country life feel of the song as he is building, not just a city, but a cyberpunk city. Also, maybe have stalls that are either small, middle of road pop ups or have them extend out some on the other side to get the feel of a city marketplace. I have looked at numerous examples for my own projects and they always fit as much as they can into the place.

[@JragonYT]

For the glass in the xp shop, you could have the armor stands holding sunflowers, since the glass is green and they're yellow, it'll match the theme of the store, and they kinda look like xp orbs.

[@Bugz_Iris]

May I suggest that when you build the other buildings, if you want it to feel more squished, than having chains, iron bars or fences hanging to connect one building to the next. You could hang things from those connecting wires like shoes, someones laundry or signs advertising a shop. I mention this because where I live, a lot of houses/apartments are built on top of a shop, though a (small) restaurant is more common. Also, not to be too bothersome, on the side of this build where it's starting to corrode, you could add a garage. I only say that because the wall could be starting to corrode due to the bustling of the garage and surrounding shops. I say that because, when I go out into my own little compact shopping avenues, I see a lot here and there, normally local and/or for the street racing community. But it's just an idea, you know?

Love the relaxed vibe. Also love being brought into the building process. There is space for timelapse builds always, but seeing your process feels very intimate and educational. Love it, very excited and fully trusting the process!

I really enjoyed this episode Impulse, it seemed to have just a bit of everything. Not saying all episodes need to be like that but it was a good mix. I actually liked that you put in a few time-lapses and also then took time to go through a building and thinking process. I think that’s a really nice format because you get that satisfaction of the timelapse and then you also get to slow down and go through a build with you. The shops are amazing! You’re really pushing the limits with the blocks and items and I love it. The record shop with random tunes is super fun. Another way to make it feel lived in would be to add moving parts, like blocks that turn on and off, pistons that fire randomly, sounds that happen in the background, like the city is always on the move and things are always happening somewhere. I almost want to say you should make a custom painting or two and import it so you can get the look you want. That’s a whole thing and up to you but I think that would be awesome. Also, you should have something that looks like a card or phone and ‘money’ floating through the green glass. Maybe xp bottles? Something to represent cyberpunk but also the function of the stall. :)

I ADORE the music in the two first time lapses. The upbeat hype build music has been used by so many Minecrafters over SO many years that the more chill acoustic music suddenly feels modern and new. I don't dislike the upbeat music, but it's nice to change things up. The same goes for the style of timelapse, with the super fast build mode vs. Bdubs' style clips montage. It's nice to mix things up. Nice job 😊👍

The shops look incredible!! As someone who struggles with detailing, it was so helpful to hear your thought process, and I'd love to see more for other things as well! Also, I love your cyberpunky timelapse music, but the chill music when you were in the shopping district (not to mention the attention to detail of using different music in different zones, that was cool) was lovely and so calming. The relaxed season X vibes are great

I remember you talking about your ‘KZbin voice’ a lot in season 8 and just wanted to say that you’ve done a really good job of slowly turning it down over the last few years. I couldn’t pin point an episode it changed, but you’ve managed to gradually shift how I expect you to sound! Amazing job man

since it's an xp atm you should put nether stars in the glass to mimic xp, maybe rotate them a little so they aren't all lined up. the builds look super good btw i am in love with the little details and the overall color scheme
