Let’s talk about Manor Lords… I am absolutely in love with this game! I wanted to give a shoutout to the creator, Greg Styczeń, for his wonderful addition to the city builder genre. Most city builder fans can agree that Banished is regarded as the pinnacle of the genre. Greg does a fantastic job of building on top of what made Banished successful while adding his own meaningful contributions. He adds a combat dynamic to the classic formula that allows you to claim other regions and build more settlements. As someone who enjoys the early stages of city building, this speaks to me immensely. Not a big fan of combat? You can also play the classic mode which solely focuses on building your settlement up and maintaining success. My biggest takeaway from playing many hours of Manor Lords is the immersion factor. The way you construct you fledgling medieval village can really allow for unique storytelling opportunities. As a level designer, I’m always trying to plan out where my residents, artisans, and industry workers will reside in astethically pleasing and efficient ways. Your region doesn’t have great mining resources, but the land and hunt are plentiful? Build yourself up as a major trading partner in hides and grain as you try to grow your village. Want to see what it would be like to walk around in your village? Hop into third person mode and take a stroll down Main Street! Got some time to kill? Slow down the speed and watch your citizens interact with each other and the world around them. It is truly a beautifully constructed game all done by one developer! I could go on and on about the things I love about Manor Lords. But I’m curious, have you played Manor Lords yet? And if so, what’s been your favorite part/s? #discussion #gamedesign #leveldesign #manorlords #citybuilder #gamedevelopment

Imagine launching a campaign that captures the essence of Uptown Chicago. We start with a stunning visual—a lone runner, captured in the soft glow of morning light on the lakefront path, with Montrose Beach subtly framing the scene in the background. This image sets the stage, portraying Uptown not just as a place, but as a lifestyle—a blend of vigor and tranquility. https://lnkd.in/gUSAYmCQ As we expand the campaign, we introduce more scenes: bustling coffee shops, vibrant street art, and lively beaches, each photo telling part of Uptown’s story. Through authentic Chicago stock photos, we invite the audience to see Uptown as a canvas of opportunities, where every moment is part of a larger narrative of community and culture. The campaign would weave these visuals into a narrative that speaks directly to our audience—active, urban individuals who seek a neighborhood that matches their dynamic lifestyles. We'll use these images not just in ads but integrate them across digital platforms and print, creating a cohesive identity that resonates with both potential residents and visitors. The final piece? A call to action that brings people to our website, where they can explore Uptown further—be it through property listings, local events, or community highlights. This isn't just about showing a place; it’s about inviting our audience to live the lifestyle that Uptown offers. This campaign will position Uptown as the ideal place for those who want to live vibrantly.

Today, we're diving into something special, Sunterra, and I’ve got someone you need to meet. Joao’s from Brazil, and he's here with New Home Co., a fresh face in the new construction scene. Let’s be real, some of you might not have heard of them yet, but trust me, you’re going to want to pay attention. They started back in 2009 in Irvine, California, and they’re now expanding into Texas with three communities in Houston and two in Austin. Yep, they’ve got their eyes on the prize in the Texas market! 🏡✨ So, why buy a new home with them? 🤔 Let me tell you, they don’t cut corners. From 8-foot doors, high ceilings, to luxury finishes like 5-inch baseboards and custom cabinets, this isn’t just a house, it’s a home designed to feel like street-level luxury. Oh, and did I mention insulated garage doors with spring assist? They think of everything, including the crystal lagoon and lazy pool that’ll be the talk of the town. Crystal-clear water and a beach vibe in your own backyard? Yes, please! 🌊 Schools? You’ve got top-rated Katy ISD, including a new elementary school opening next year! Talk about the perfect community. Build time? Six months, but it could be sooner. You’ll be sipping cocktails by the lagoon by spring 2025! 🍹 Want to check it out? Come on down to Sunterra, meet Joao, and see it for yourself. If you own a business and want to be featured, reach out to me. It’s free!
