In an age? What would make the perfect age for you? From flowers to bushes, lakes to boxes and, trees plastic objects, buildings, rocket ships, you name it.

A friend and I are planning on designing an age for MORE. There are plenty of ideas that we could use to design it but, in the eyes of the community, if you could pick 7 features for an island age - what would they be?

We may pick some to be incorporated into the age too!

Kind of depends on where the island is in relation to the age. If its in a warm climate, something akin to Zephyr Cove, with its sandy beaches and palm trees. But if its in a northern climate, you want a mixture of sand and grass like Myst Island. When doing buildings on an island its also a good idea to keep the textures of the building itself close in color to that of the rock textures from the island. To keep the surrealism of the building being built from the rocks on the island. (after all, you can't expect to link into an island with truckloads of materials.

What is also pretty cool, and you find on some islands are cave systems carved from the the hide tide on large cliff faces. (like if one side of an island is mostly rocky mountainous region, like the mountain on Myst, over millenia, a high tide might erode the rock and create a small incove, where water collects and erodes the dirt and rock creating a small cave system inside of the mountain.

Lots of polished wood, from medium to deep dark looking. With shiny brass or gold attatchments.

Any respectable island, especially a leisure one, must have an unlimited supply of gynnan tonix. (Maybe a D'ni bar-tending machine?)

Seriously: Surprise us. At least that's what I'd like.

Cliffs and cave systems are pretty cool, as well as homes and buildings that look small but have hidden substructures or inner-structures (like the Library on MYST). Moving parts are cool.

Look forward to seeing what you come up with

A vast environment with hours of repeatable gameplay.

Seriously, though, I'd like to see more snow and ice ages.

Small houses SET INTO cliffs with hidden structures and tunnels!
Oh wait, where'd I see that before...?
