Space Grabber!

This is the first room I've ever posted here that isn't a retro, and if anyone has ever seen me on this forum, my criticism has often be viewed as harsh, so feel free to rip this room to shreds if that's what you think.
To me this room reminds me the value of actual dedication, and sticking to my guns. I set myself prices for furni, and stuck to it, which may have meant it took a lot longer to get it all, it made it an affordable room which I think is pretty unique!

Moodlight makes it look very dull.
Also. theirs no floor,
and the fog walls look very out of place.

The moodlight was supposed to make it look "spacey", so if I get rid of it how would you suggest I achieve this effect?
By "no floor", I assume you mean there's no paint/carpet floors? because there're mars patches and transparent floors which everyone can see, so I don't see the point in buying floor just to go underneath the other floors I've purchased...?
I wasn't too sure on the walls myself, but what would you suggest instead?

Its all well and good criticising me, which I welcome, but at least when I criticise harshly, I offer some solutions as well, and the first two points you made seem pretty pathetic to me.
Nice try on the grammar there too, but its spelt "there's".

well i dont going to play here sryy :P

I'm not asking anyone to play it?
I haven't even given its room name/ owner to anyone specifically so people don't think I'm advertising.

It's nice, I do kind of think it's a bit small looking and bunched up. The random light poles by the dices people are able to sit at throw me off a little, they look a little out of place. Maybe if you put something else in there to block it off, it'd look better. It's also a little dark, try maybe a different setting with your moodlight? Maybe even get some fog patches in there, I think that might look nice. Other than that, it seems like a pretty decent room to me.

Well, If the first two points seem Pathetic to you, well that's just you.
The moodlight does not make it feel 'spacey' at all, just bleak and dull for the room.

If you're going to improve it to make it look a lot more attractive, to gain more people,

Theirs two sort of spacey themes you can go to,

The Outside Space Theme,
Moodlight off, and use the effect for black floors and walls, (Even If your floor is covered your floor with mats, you can still see the grey outline)
On the black walls, add some silver stars small, and large.
Add a few pixel planets so you see some,
Stack a totem planet instead of the smoke on top of the warp reactor,
With that, would make it a lot more space,
The poles all look a bit messy due to their size, would look a lot nicer, if you had white iced corners, and stacked the smokes in them, same where the booth is,

Inside Space theme,
Buy white floor / walls,
used white iced with stack smokes,
change the transparent floors, to the other type,
On the walls, get the space walls and use them around walls,

I'm not at all bothered about my grammar on a forum, As I've already got my C in english for GCSE :]

Yeah I did think about the 104 squared room, but I think I'm going to get rid of the booth anyway so that should eliminate the cramped issue.
Which dices are you referring to? the ones that they roll? I put the light poles all around it to stop people rolling the grabber dice D:
I quite like the darkness of it, but I will consider the fog patches in there.
Thanks for the help though, +rep.

This was the kind of reply I was looking for at first,
I don't mind people saying my rooms are terrible if they can actually suggest improvements,
whilst I appreciate the advice, its taken me so long to acquire all the furni for this room I think I'll keep it how it is, thanks anyway.

I like how you put mars patches underneath the prizes & how you stacked the dices in the smoke machine, I dont like the light poles around the dice as it makes it look weird you could change the lightpoles to lets say... Sci-Fi Lamps?

I think you should buy flooring for it as it is only 2 credits.

And the last thing is the walls dont look right, what about windows with a space theme?

The grid is only 4x4? What..... The room looks very small and cramped.

You can't buy the space theme anymore since the merge.

Thanks, urm if you understood how long it took me to find all the lightpoles you understand why I really want to keep them!
But you're not the first person to mention flooring so I'll just add that in now, and I quite like the walls, but if enough people think I should change them, I'll take a look at other options. +rep

Yes, the grid is only 4x4. Once I remove the booth, the room'll probably look a bit more spacious.

Its out of this world!

Lol :)

I don't think the fog on the walls looks "out of place", it adds a spacey feel to the room, even though space doesn't really get fog, or gets viewed as a foggy place. (Imo)

nice try on grammar but it's spelt "it's" in that context bahahaah hypocrisy at its best
I see you've covered the walls and floor but you can still notice the dull default flooring colour at the edges. it only takes 2c to fix this so I don't see what the problem is. also lose the moodlight, the furni is "space theme" enough.

hmm i think it looks pretty nice, .. and expensive too!

I think you should lose the moodlight as it it making the room look very dull. Apart from that it's nice :)
