A Closer Look at The Block 2.0 Finalists
The following buildings were thoughtfully designed, and their Creators showed understanding of the outlined criteria, as well as the Level Design Best practices.
These Creators were able to design functional buildings while finding a way to infuse their own signature style. These submissions hit a high bar of quality and maintained the beloved essence of Tilted, while simultaneously using the provided space in never before seen ways.
“The Restaurant” selections:
The courtyard is a thoughtful design choice from benmac that you don’t usually see across the map. Its clever usage of the space allows the architecture to make a unique impression with its innovative use of standard materials. The spaciousness of the building makes for great gameplay, and matches the aesthetic of its surroundings.
This unique take on the Pizza Pit shape immediately stood out. ninjah_dj’s ability to utilize the space provided to create unique shapes not usually seen in Tilted is an appreciated and valuable skill. This building has a nice flow through the space and the skillful use, and placement of props further enhances the structure. There are clean pathways through combat space to comfortably navigate from one point to another.
Not only is this building a beautiful shape, it offers an open layout to provide a break from the narrower locations within Tilted Towers. This design from xdark is stunning, as the playful colors and artistic choices fit well within the surrounding area, and the structure provides an aerated respite within a dense space.
“The Apartments” Selections:
The first thing to notice about this building is the use of shapes and levels around the structure that fascinate and engage the onlooker. Both visually pleasing and practical, this building offers multiple interesting spaces for players to explore. The decision to make this a mixed use space by adding a cafe to the first floor is a commendable design choice by ashurrii, expanding the boundaries of what The Apartments can be.
Charlee-brown - The Block 2.0 Template Apartments 1434-9352-4208
Charlee-brown has a clear understanding of the art of storytelling. This building has a strong narrative to it by reasonably following real world rules. Everything within this structure makes sense logically from correct placement of bathrooms, to a patio that looks good enough to host a cookout! The open lobby concept helps make this building as beautiful as it is functional.
This work from destructo artfully repurposed ideas that were in the existing building to make a fresh and fascinating layout! Meticulously considered details help make the space feel warm and realistic from tasteful wall art to functional office and storage spaces. The white treatment immediately stands out and is a unique design choice, which helps differentiate this structure from others.
“The Shops” Selections:
Every single room featured in this design from 0ricent is a beautiful, well constructed, and very believable set up. The Creator demonstrates excellent execution of the mixed use space by adding the laundromat underneath the building, and the realistic approach makes the space feel lived in. Even the roof of this structure has been carefully considered and decorated to match the vibe of the rest of the building!
Justafrog - The Block 2.0 Template Shops 1997-0531-3795
The building itself may look spartan at first sight, but the combination of good propping, enjoyable flow, and a strong narrative make this building an outstanding selection. Players will feel the intended use of the space as soon as they step in, thanks to the meticulous efforts of justagfrog. It’s a humble approach, but this building absolutely nails the bookstore feeling.
Mrstruelegend - Cassie’s Car & Coffee Shop 0740-3787-7849
Not only did mrstruelegend design an exceptionally fun and playful space, they ensured there was a strong narrative to it. While it’s a simple design at first glance, there is a deeply impressive attention to detail with regards to propping and the flow of the space. The interesting shape and uniqueness of each level of the building packs a powerful offering within a small setting.
