Pond Room Update Behind The Scenes
In around January, a user had shown me a custom room concept artwork they’d made for Club Penguin Online. It really inspired me, and that’s when I knew I had to make it into an actual room.
At first I was stuck with the room because I had no clue how to start it. I knew the room wouldn’t look anything like the concept art so I had to wait until creative ideas started to pop up. Then, I just decided that I would start drawing a lake (or something like that). Here’s what it looked like:
After that, I was motivated, and everything just went perfectly. I drew some snow, worked on the trees and the sky, and then started really decorating the room with all kinds of objects. I completed all of that in about 4 hours. After that, all I had to do was fix some minor issues, and the room was complete.
You thought that was it? Nope. This is a permanent room so we had to add it to the map. Perfecting its place on the map was harder than I expected, as I had to redo it about 3 times. It either ended up looking bad, or I had broke something. Though, after 3 tries I was pretty happy with it.
We were celebrating 3 million registered users on the snowy island at the time, so I had to add some extra decorations to the room. Here’s what that looked like:
So that’s how I made the pond room. In total, I spent around 18 hours on this room. 18 hours of designing in just 2 days isn’t too healthy… oh well, there are worse ways to spend your time during the weekend. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this post.
Thanks for reading, Peace out penguins
