    Default KumoriForestTrail

    Time for another theme room
    This one stemmed from a trip to Epcot back in July, those of you who are familiar with Epcot will know that within the World Showcase there is a Japan section which we had a good look around while we were there. Normally we don't get time to do as much of the Showcase as we want but we managed to time it well. Back then I didn't know a room was going to come out of it until Habbo released the Japanese range of furni and ideas started to develop.
    This is by far my most expensive room to build out of my collection and I don't intend to ever design anything that will cost me this much in the future.

    *Image removed until further notice*

    Also this room decided to present me with quite a few problems on the way to its opening. The first of which was the fact that you cant put anything on bamboos, you can walk through them and so can pets but you cant put any furni on them, so I had to find a way around that. Then there was the problem of hiding the Jade Dragon somewhere in the bamboo without leaving a large gap. Thirdly, as a last minute decision I put in a trax machine with the intention of using the Monkey Paradise track to add a few jungle sounds and had quite a bit of trouble hiding the machine. That last decision also lead to me and Loz finding out that, since the new update, chair stacking is no longer possible in the way shown on the stacking videos on Habbox in both small and large rooms.
    Finally, I would like to point out that little bit of extra effort I put into this room. Took me a while last night to pick the perfect Japanese word for the room title, Kumori was the final word I chose which means 'shadow'. I did a similar thing with the crocodiles in the room. Katsuro is a masculine name and is an alternative spelling to Katsurou meaning 'victory' (katsu) and 'son' (rou). Hanako is a feminine name meaning 'flower' (hana) and 'child' (ko).

    Looks great! Only thing I can comment on are the walls which are a bit bare, I think changing the colour would work better. +rep

    (where is the trax machine! )

    Its really good, now i know why you wanted all the bamboo patches. Im not to kean on the area tables, also were is the trax And also i would change the colour of the walls and fill them up a bit more with hollys at the ones you have on the corner look a bit out of place. Great room +REP

    Improvements? :S If you're going to discredit the room I suggest you post ways to improve it as well.

    Ah, the original plan was to use the really dark gothic wallpaper but that hasn't been released yet (was hoping it would be released by the time I had finished the room). The walls need improving on, more hollys, perhaps a different colour etc. Ill experiment at some point if I get time.
    Ill leave you to find the trax machine

    Damn right, I hate those patches now, anyone who was selling them wanted a HC per and wasn't at all willing to do any sort of deal for them in bulk and they're pretty difficult to work with as it is.
    Walls need improving, will get to it as soon as possible.

    Next room will be a bit more eco-friendly and probably wont be posted on here purely because of the low number of responses this has had so far.

    If people really want to see them they'll search the tag and rifle through them as they please rather than viewing seperate pictures of them on here.
    Ill still make them, I just probably wont post them.

    That's an awesome room! However maybe you should put more panda posters in to cover the wall(not behing the temple thing though) or perhaps rainforest posters? Anyway it's still a great room +rep


    Edit: Have to spread first.

    I'm sorry but i'm honest when its a bad time to be.

    The room lacks your previous rooms pizazz - the extra sparkle that originality has.

    The wall colour looks like the default colour and makes the room seem drab.

    The whole thing is a bit drab really - the colours are too subdued, but thats just me.
