Ember_Animus
This spotlight, we like to present you Ember_Animus! She joined the server as simply nobody (not a name), yet months after, she has showcased different redstone contraptions starting from a simple but complicated door to something technical we have yet to know.
Who are you? When did you join RenMX?
My name is Ember_Animus, but some might know me as Ember_Celica. I am also commonly referred to as Ember. As for how long ago i joined, i would have to say that it was around 6-8 months ago.
What do you enjoy the most in our server?
The enjoyment that i get most out of it is generally the new events, the dedication of the staff and Pri, the fair judging(and sometimes difficulty) of getting ranks, and lastly the community
What types of creations do you like to create?
If you ever hear of me working on something, or see me doing something, it is almost always a redstone project.
How do you plan before you create?
I typically dont plan to much, i just get an idea in my head of what i want to build and then start for it. In spite of that, there is one thing that i have recently started doing for the redstone, and that is by starting with the User Interface, if applicable. So for example, if i have a display board for numbers (Like a digital clock-face, or a calculator screen) i will start with making that and then build the rest of it off of it.
Do you have any tips for us to craft better creations?
As for redstone, its a bit hard to really peg something that will have you craft better creations because it can be made a wide variety of ways. The best example of that is the redstone clock; variations include: Repeater clock, hopper clock, Pulsing Torch, and etc. However, i will say that knowledge of what each components do, as well as the different ways redstone interacts with different blocks (like slabs, glowstone, glass, item frames, chests, etc) is extremely useful. Also, if you are building something and dont know exactly how to make a piece of it, dont be afraid to look online for a solution or ask others, its how you learn, and as you learn you will know how to make your own version, tweak it, or maybe even use it in ways other than its intended use.
Any projects we look forward to?
Right now i have several. I am working on my second engineer application, which what it is will be hidden til i submit it. In addition i am in the process of finishing my EC redstone application, which is a redstone user database (currently 6 users, but infinitely expandable). There is also another project which i am aspiring to do at somepoint, and that is something akin to a computer, but in minecraft, however that will be quite a ways down the road.
If you're going to implement a feature for RenMX, what would it be?
If i was to add a feature, well i would have to say, the ability to gamble cards in a way, so instead of money, you could lose something of great value, or maybe gain something greater.
Example: You could bet your Gold ingot card and your Pig morph card, and in return you could get only one of those back, get a pig zombie morph card, a gold block card, a pig spawner, or a pigzombie spawner, or maybe even just gain a few hundred to a couple thousand rennies. On the other hand, you could lose both of the cards, maybe lose an extra card you didnt want to bet (special even cards, champ cards, and etcetera exempt), loose money, or maybe even lose items from your inventory. A high-risk but high-reward betting with extra adventure, and in a way could add the need for cards, and boost card trading eco.
Of course it would have different prize pools and punishments for different cards, different scaling, and also have different tiers/rarities for the prizes/punishments. Also, maybe within that you could pay some rennies to 'unlock' the barrier and add some different cards to the prize pool (at random, and at set intervals), but beware, it also would add a new or extra chance for punishments.
Just a small thought though.
What's your feedback about our community?
The community is amazing all in all, but would just like a bit less of the agitation/animosity towards other players, self inclusive, as well as maybe a more open minded community that instead of inspiring those things or contributing towards negative actions that would further increase creativity and benefit the community. This is not a large change, since it is vastly like that, but there is still enough to place it here. However, again it is still an awesome community.
