Alleyway Development Help

[michealsmells]

Howdy folks, Mayor Dilly Dally here! I need help on developing my town of Alleyway. It's supposed to be a grimy, almost slum-like city, but I'm a little stuck on what to do right now.

I need help on path placement, tree placement, pwps and their placement, villagers, and ideas for other human villagers (I already have one in mind but anything helps!)

My friend code is 1220-6171-7146 !!

Opening my gates at 8pm pst, which is in about an hour of posting!

I'll probably bump this the next few days with updated times. Please please please come and help. You're welcome to pick our orange trees and speak to villagers as well!

I'm not sure on what to suggest but i do need to get signatures. Would that be OK?

 

[michealsmells]

You can come for signatures! Please make an effort to look around and give suggestions after taking look though <3

 

[Ryzia27]

OK thanks. I'll try to think of something. I'll add you right now.

 

[michealsmells]

Adding you too! I'll be opening my gates in 20 minutes, the original post had the incorrect time, I'm so sorry!

 

[Ryzia27]

OK. Should i bring anything as a gift?

 

[michealsmells]

No gifts needed! Your gift is your feedback!

 

[Ryzia27]

OK then. I'm not the most creative person but i'll try my best.

 

[michealsmells]

Opening my gates!

 

[Ryzia27]

All right, coming now.

 

[michealsmells]

Thanks for coming! Post any feedback you have here. Closing my gates <3

Town's looking pretty good so far. You should try getting Kyle, he would fit well i think. Perhaps you could try building a bunch of street light or trash cans in the town once you unlock them, if you don't have them already.

hey! this sounds like a pretty cool idea, i think using the classic police station (to seem more run-down) in addition to the reset center (a manhole just screams slums!) as pwps would be a good start! after looking at the other pwps, i think some you can consider are, perhaps, the pile of pipes, the modern or suspension bridges, bus stop, streetlight, traffic signal, lighthouse, and the video screen! these are what remind me of a slum-like town, anyway - the garbage can included as well, however i think the bright colors of it may clash with the theme! that's just my opinion, though

as someone has already mentioned, kyle would be a great addition to this theme, ESPECIALLY for his interior! i think cheri would, as well, in addition to punchy and lobo! just some ideas! perhaps genji as well..

for human villagers, perhaps you could add a run-down doctor's clinic, or a soup kitchen? 0:

edit: this ended up really long, but this idea is super interesting! i'd love to help with it

 

[michealsmells]

Thanks for all the ideas! I didn't even know that there was a modern bridge so I currently have stone bridges. Those will work way better though. The pile of pipes I also forgot about and I think it'll do great. A mixture of some of the "unsightly" pwps with industrial ones that also create a perfect town (becuase I'm just Like That) like the solar panel and windmill sound nice too.

Y'all keep mentioning Kyle and I might just take you up on that. He has a sloppy interior right? That'd be amazing for the towns theme.

I did forget to mention my idea for my human villager, but he was going to be a convenience store worker. I already have all of the items in the mayor's house, but they just don't fit her snobby personality that she's supposed to have. However a run down doctors clinic is an AMAZING idea and I totally might do that onece everything else in my town is laid out!!

yeah!! i think it'd be fun to have the public works projects such as the drilling rig would really add to the slum theme - it makes it look as though construction for the town has been abandoned, i think that works for this theme! 0:

omg for kyle, i liked him at first and tried really hard to get him in my first town, but promptly kicked him out because of the inside of his house!! i'm glad it works here xD

i'm glad to help! these sound like great ideas, and i can't wait to see the result of your town!

I hate to be a bother but do you think you can come into my town for a quick moment for path ideas? I wanna be able to lay out my path as the skeleton, basically, for all my pwps and houses, and I'm kinda super lost on what to do on it right now. That's really the only other advice I really need right now.
