Put the grass on a higher layer.

Also, try adding some 3D terrain!

Oh and make the island less “square” and more “natural”

Lol I keep re-editing this post

Try adding this

Something like this but bigger and with all of your props

takes everyone ideas and smashes them together
I’ll add more later.

But Niblet, it would probably be wise to mark a solution to close the topic since you have a ton of ideas given to you

Well here it is, I suggest making the island(sand) part bigger so its not so crowded.
Dark Blue Water Layer 1
Light Blue Water Layer 2
Sand Layer 1
Dirt Layer 2
Grass Layer 3

Seafoam is: :cloud:
Coral is shaded with a non-collision barrier on top of it.

Some Art topics can have a solution box, but apparently this one doesn’t, so if you really want to close it, you can

  1. Move it to help and mark a solution (or have someone move it to help for you)
  2. Wait for Blackhole to come along and close it for you (if you want)

Agreed

So far, I think the biggest issues I have with the lobby are:

  1. The “Island” is quite literally a rectangle.
  2. The props feel randomly placed without meaning.
  3. The coral doesn’t look underwater (yes, you can fix this).
  4. The layering at the part with grass.

So how can we fix these?

For number 1, I made the island 3D and have a funny curved shape, then traced the border with sand:

Also, the game code doesn’t work

For number 2, I’m just going to decorate the island myself, and let’s see how it goes:

Woah! That was fun! Alright, I’ll go through all the changes here. First of all, I made a sign (3D sign, if you don’t know how to do this, use the same method you would for 3D text) with the game’s name on it. Then, I added a sentry with some materials, and some misc. decoration. Also, I fixed the layering issue. Now, the grass is on layer 4, so it looks more smooth! Alright, final part (because I did 4 and 2 at the same time).

For number 3, I didn’t include coral in the water, but what you would do is put a semi-transparent barrier over the water to make it look like the coral is under the water. Okay, I also added a boat here:

And a fish barrel (which granted, looks kinda dumb but who even cares?)

Which finishes the design. Hope ya liked it.

P.S: You can put the ball anywhere, I forgot about it.

Keep in mind that this is still a pretty basic design - you could add structures surrounding the island, bubbles in the “ocean”, even more decoration (as long as it doesn’t block the path of movement), and so much more. Heck, you should play “The Forbidden Islands” on discovery (by our dear friend who has unfortunately left, @Wumpus) and take inspiration from that. The islands there are much better than the island I made.
