Catmid's Room Entry

Hello! This is my entry for the Pico Room Photo Campaign!
http://info.pico.ameba.net/2010/05/27/campaign-pico-room-photo-campaign
My nickname on PICO is Catmid


A lovely pool area for swimming, comfy pillows and outdoor seating to lounge with friends. I like to leave out cheese and juice to aide in the relaxing atmosphere. I added the cactus recently to aide in the "spa" feel. haha XD



Next we have a lovely tea/garden area. Featuring a waterfall with a secret area to hide behind. I like to  host tea parties here as well as other fun events! I was so excited to see the lamps added to the gifting event on Facebook that they were promptly added to the room. :D




The next floor we have a lounge area. My friends and I can watch tv, eat snacks, play on the computer, and just chit-chat. I also like to have get together's here because there is a lot of seating for everyone. The elevated kitchen allows for creating yummy dishes for all to enjoy!


Lastly the main floor where I do most of my entertaining/hosting. Here is where everyone enjoys practicing with our PICOband, playing, singing karaoke, saying hello to our visitors, and just meeting up everyday to share the news of the day.

Thanks for looking and please VOTE FOR ME!

Room Magic!

I love making rooms. Why? I love the creativeness of it. The shapes and figures you can make, the levels, the 8bitness of it all. Why wouldn't you want to? Is it because it is tedious?  Maybe... but with a few tricks you too can be a....

ROOM MASTER!!!

 With some time you can make floors, stairs, statues, cars, boats, trees, rivers, waterfalls, etc. You name it, it was probably done in PICO. I think before you get started with making a room, learn how to make basic steps. It's important that your PICO can get to every floor you build. My tips and tricks are based on my experience building my room pictured on the left. The only thing that may hold you back is how many gummies you have saved up!

The room on the left was built with gummy, gacha, and gifts. It took a while but it progressed slowly and with lots of love.

Below I made a video tutorial for you to see how I went about making what I call the STACKING METHOD. You basically use a stack of specific blocks as a template around the room. Check out the video and hopefully it will help you get one step closer to ROOM MASTER!

 TUTORIAL 1: STAIR STACKING

If any of that was confusing, or needs to be elaborated more, please let me know and I will updated the video with notes. Or I will add EDITED advice here.
