High Above Skylog Number 5: Japanese Theme
[p]Hello everyone,[/p][p][/p][p]Some of you on the High Above Discord server have been asking to see more of the Japanese Theme that’s coming to the full version of High Above. So today’s Skylog is dedicated entirely to that. Grab a pot of freshly brewed green tea, or a chilled matcha if you prefer, and let’s dive in.[/p][p][/p][h3]New Structures[/h3][p]The Japanese Theme lets you shape your rooftops using a wide range of traditional-inspired architectural elements. You’ll find new designs for windows, doors, roofs, railings, and wall finishes, along with a fresh palette of colours. You can adjust eaves in different sizes and decorate your builds with subtle wall ornaments. All of these details and designs are exclusive to this theme.[/p][p][/p][p]In the screenshot below, you can see how these pieces come together. Whether you’re constructing a single peaceful home or an entire village, you can enrich your scene with blooming cherry trees, power lines, and decorative gates, all crafted to evoke a distinctly Japanese atmosphere.[/p][p][/p][p]![]()
[/p][h3]New Props and Decorations[/h3][p]This theme comes with a selection of furniture: couches, tables, chairs, benches, and more. But what I really wanted to concentrate on were the details. You’ll find plenty of oriental lamps and food props - ramen bowls, sushi plates, dumplings, and other treats, so your rooftop residents will never go hungry.[/p][p][/p][p]You’ll also be able to create your own Zen gardens. To help you shape these quiet corners, the theme includes rocks, plants, lanterns, and other calming elements perfect for meditative spaces high above the city.[/p][p][/p][p]![]()
[/p][h3]Three Unique People Challenges[/h3][p]The Japanese Theme introduces three new challenges from people hoping to find peace on your rooftops. They’ll ask you to create:[/p]![]()
