Aloft Longplay Building | Relaxing

This video is not a tutorial. It's not a speed build. There is no voiceover. It is nearly six hours of ambient sound, relaxing game soundtrack, and watching a build evolve, with very minimal editing. For those who prefer just ambient sound, like the wind, birds, and the soft sounds of building, placing and destroying building pieces... the last half of the video has no music, only the ambient sound. So skip to the 3 hour mark if that's what you prefer. And let me know in the comments which one you like better... music or no music!

This build, like most of my bigger builds, was not really "planned". I picked a site I liked, with interesting terrain, I had a general overall idea in mind (ship + castle, experimenting with incorporating round structures) but after that it was just a matter of many hours of experimenting, trying things, spending a long time figuring out how to do something, then deciding I didn't like it and tearing it down and trying something else. This is all in creative mode, by the way, which means I did not need to stop building in order to collect resources, and had all the building piece blueprints unlocked.

Just messing around until I liked it. Deeply focused on the part of the structure I was currently working on, and not really thinking about the rest of it. Trusting that I'll figure out what to do when I get to that part of the build. Just letting it all evolve from the terrain and discovering what the building pieces can do. Along with practical considerations like finding places for storage and crafting stations, and trying to make use of every interesting nook and cranny created by this organic building style.

This is just the first two sessions of this build, not the complete project. Let me know in the comments if you want to see another video like this, as I continue to work on this project.

It's not the most efficient way of building, and it doesn't make for super slick and minimalist builds... my builds tend to be more whimsical. For a long time people have been asking about my process... well here you go. You can watch me in action. I can't focus this well when I'm streaming, since I'm also trying to interact with chat, narrate what I'm doing, and be entertaining, so being able to focus in silence like this is definitely when I tend to do my best building.
