8 Bit Fortress

While I sit here waiting for others to get their damn work done in time so I can do my own (grumble, grumble)… why don’t I show off my new home?

There it is. Click on it for a mega-sized version. I haven’t named it but I will right now: Cloudgate!

This is, of course, my creation in the fantastic iOS ‘game’ Junk Jack. I built the whole thing out of blocks and parts collected and fashioned myself. It started off as the (now) dungeon, before becoming the castle/house thing aboveground. Note the finer touches, like grass on the roof and glass walls on both sides of the second floor.

My plans are grand! In time I will remove all earth below the house, and have it floating like one of those castles in Dragonlance (or rocks in Avatar…). I will then build a bridge between the castle and the remaining land out of pure gemstone. I shall call it Bifrost, and it shall shimmer like a rainbow. The cavern below the house will be flooded, and nearby I will have a pen of livestock that I will harvest for food to fuel my spelunking into other worlds to obtain more raw materials.

On the very top of the castle I shall build a tower up to the heavens. It will be crested with pyramids and guarded by gigantic, ancient statues. On the very top I will place a gigantic unblinking lens forged from a single massive diamond. It will forever look out amongst the clouds.

Most of the above is currently possible in Junk Jack. Some will come with updates. It’s a clever, clever ‘game’, highly recommended if you like exploring and building.
