Builders Interview

PrimeDaysAhead VisageRender-ay1i


PrimeDaysAhead
PrimeDaysAhead, also known as @manofdreams, joined in 2020, and was recently added to the Build Team. Not only does he make amazingly well-detailed builds, but he’s also clearly dedicated and passionate about what he does!

Ay1i
Ay1i, otherwise known as @cougar_m also recently rejoined the Build Team, which makes him the newest builder! His name might sound familiar since she actually used to be part of the Build Team, back in 2019. He’s also clearly extremely talented and skillful, and has already made some incredible builds.

Click here for the interview!

How did you discover MunchyMC and what made you join?
P: I discovered MunchyMC through Skeppy’s YouTube channel, and I originally joined purely out of curiosity, without any real knowledge of what to expect.

A: I’ll be completely honest, I don’t remember. It was around 4 years ago, but either from a friend or YouTube.

How did you chose your IGN?
P: That name is derived from a philosophy of self-improvement: working hard to be the best I can possibly be, yet there is always going to be more room to improve.

A: Honestly, nothing particular. I made the name when i was 10-12 and back then I had a fascination with cougars (the animal) and obviously still think they are cool.

What are your specialities when it comes to building?
P: My specialities are shaping, spacing, texturing and terraforming. I try to envision what a build could be like before I start placing blocks, and I have no problem starting over in the middle of building if it does not fit what I had originally envisioned.

A: Mainly structures and detailing, but I dabble with organics and terrain as well.

What do you like the most about building?
P: Building for a reason. Don’t get me wrong, I love to create all sorts of things in single-player worlds, but there is something more special about contributing your efforts toward a common good: a thriving community.

A: Just the creativity and freedom, and being able to just relax, zone out and build something spectacular.

What’s the first build you remember making?
P: The first build I remember making was the Seattle Space Needle a little over 4 years ago, specifically around August 2019.

A: First thing, if I recall correctly, was just a simple house in a snowy forest,. Unfortunately it was many years ago so I don’t have a picture. :/

What’s your favorite build amongst the ones you’ve made so far?
P: My favorite build is my most recent, which is a medial-themed sumo map. It was actually what I submitted for my build trial.




A: Probably the big city in my portfolio, not because of the looks of it, but because, even if in my eyes, it doesn’t look particularly good, it was my first ever mega project: building a city 6k by 6k blocks, which I nearly finished before the server I used to build on got shut down. I got the world, but lost interest in it afterwards. image

What are some advices you’d like to give to someone who’s interested in building?
P: Builder’s block is a very real thing that everyone struggles with. Always try to build in moderation and always try to keep your mind engaged when creating something. I often find myself flying around my build for hours at a time, not really doing anything, so that is something I can definitely work on. Everyone has their own path, but don’t ever become complacent with your progress.

A: Just keep practicing. It’s the only way to improve, but don’t be afraid to ask for advice.

III. The Map Art Part

Wouldn’t be a new and improved Survival section if we didn’t bring back The Map Art Hall of Fame Now it’s called The Map Art Part though cause me and EvillRat are hilarious! Since we’re newly readding this I unfortunatly don’t have any Map Art to show you, but if you make any Map Art during December make sure to message me on discord (Mysaan) with an image to get included in the next newsletter! You can thank @LunaInSpace for getting this back btw.

Ay @TheFireGamer210 nice promotion I’ll be sure to stir up trouble to keep you in business and good newsletter writing nao

A gadget should give a player a new way to play the game while not making it easier when you obtain such gadget and giving a drawback to it.

Examples of this are unlocking a new ability in a game such as double jump, while it is an advantage and can be strong because you get more air time and movement, you could balance this with weakness such as hitting them out of the air as it may take more time for them to fall. (this isn’t a Minecraft example more a general)

Also since ig wina didn’t post this to the munchy discord shoutout for this epic woolwars poopers logo also containing me, brooke, and herself


Also nice drawing super duck
