For those HOME users like me who been creative for past 3yrs with LBP community will find this a must buy. Im no interior decorator, bit i know my way around a Virtual world toolset and a thermobar. I’ve even built a train station with blueprint. it will take a few pushes and Ndreams marketing people to get off there highprice horse with add-ons but yes the HOME redefining moment is there ready fro the community to take.

I have been experimenting with BluePrint and am finding all sorts of ideas as I go along. The first one I created was much too big and looked empty with all the furniture I could put in it. So I went smaller, still looked too empty. SO I went a bit smaller on the third go around and also added a small “guest” house to help fill that vast expanse of pavement that was left.
I think the main problem I have come into here is the 100 item furniture allotment. Though it seems to be plenty for the pre-fab places we already own, this space is so huge that even if you use large pieces it has an empty feel to it, kind of like when we had a 50 item limit with the larger estates.
So because of this we have to downsize the space to fit the furniture allotment, which makes me wonder why they made it so huge in the first place if we can’t use it all.
I am sure they are going to give us many more built in “features” like the stove and glass walls, but those aren’t furniture really.
I love this space and all of its possibilities, I just hope we can get more walls that are less garish colored and perhaps even be given walls we can add singly instead of as a part of the structure, similar to the Loot wood and Ghostbuster blue ones, which fit there nicely by the way. I think any developer, NDreams included, would make a killing with these, not just for this space, but for many others as well.
Nice article as always Gid.

Feverishly outlining new machinima plots to go with some of the Blueprint Home possibilities……

I spent my second evening in Blueprint:Home constructing a SciFi/Horror Maze. I made lots of little rooms arranged in a brick-work grid, punched doors and windows to connect them, changed room textures to add variety, and then added “monsters” — Singe the Dragon, the Human Plush, the giant Hamster statue, the grizzly bear from Old West Saloon, VICKIE, and the Drey Black Stallion. Then I just ran around and giggled. I don’t think I’ve had so much fun with a set of blocks since I was ten. If I can just stop playing with it long enough to write something, I’ll have an article!

Blueprint certainly has potential! I could say lots about what it could be. So instead I would just say this.
Please take very good care of the texture levels if this is all that will be offered for sometime. It appears that the memory allocation is based somewhere around the clubhouse settings. If so, it would be nice if it could be offered at no cost to the user as a 32 user space.
All and all, it is the right direction, and judging just from how many people I knew who were poised to get this space, it WILL be successful!
Go Blueprint!

Gotta say the same guys! I was all reved up for it and even had my money in my hand, then a friend sent me an invite. After a 30min conversation that was pretty much just

“Honestly, I can’t see any house!!!”

I decided to give it time to iron the bugs out a but more, which I must say (all due credit to nDreams) that particular bug (non-load up for visitors) was fixed by the next morning of release.

They’re obviously very on-top of this project, which is admirable, but I just don’t wanna pay to be the lab-rat this time, well not yet anyway. However, that damn space is playin’ on my mind and burning a Blueprint shaped hole in my digital pocket. I’m not sure how long I can last…

“I just didn’t know what I would do with it.”

My thoughts exactly. I was planning on buying it but I’m not sure that the product lives up to the promise.

Do I create machinima? No.

Can I use Blueprint to build better personal spaces than the ones I already have? Certainly not yet.

Would I like to build an apartment just to say that I did? Possibly.

Is Blueprint a revolutionary new concept in Home personal states? Definitely.

Am I going to buy it? We’ll see.
