It's coming for you...

My latest creation, a great horned beast clawing its way out of the molten depths.

Or half a rubbish space invader with hands. You decide.

I changed the statue of the lava-spunking man into a statue of a lava-spunking Batman, as he’s situated right by the new Bat Signal.

My wife asked for a picture when I told her about him, so here he is.

Is this image NSFW? You decide!

A work of art to rival Michelangelo’s David and the Venus de Milo, I’m sure you’ll agree.

A huge effort, a major lava leakage that killed animals, burned trees and forever changed the landscape of the server… but I made a Bat Signal in the sky.

All its glory.

I’m quite pleased with it, but not jumping around with delight. I think I should have built it higher, for one thing.

Amongst other things, I built a great hall for my castle.

From the outside... ugh.

The interior is nice, though.

Shame it looks so dull from the outside, but I do like how it looks from the inside.

No huge fancy projects today, instead I spent time tidying up, building paths and expanding my castle’s walls.

The statue that previously overlooked my castle is now part of it.

At least I didn’t flood my castle with lava today. I managed to do that twice yesterday. It’s not destructive, but it’s a pain to clean up.

I built a huge statue of myself on a hill overlooking my castle. That’s probably slightly worrying, isn’t it?

My nose is stone, it shall not rust.

I also added a prison cell to my Secret Shrine of Evil, too. That might be a slightly worrying, too, now I come to think about it.

Done a fair amount of work on my castle lately.

There’s a new section below the Secret Shrine.

There are new towers over the throne room.

The graveyard walls are now covered in moss.

It's not as awesomely impressive as other buildings on the server, but it's mine.

I’ve even got a couple of waterfalls. (And, yes, there is a secret passage linking them.)

Mostly, though, I’ve been exploring a massive cave system I discovered under the hills near my castle where I’d been mining. I found a couple of (non-working) monster generators and some empty chests. (Apparently you get stuff if you destroy the chests, but I didn’t know that at the time and have never been able to find them again.) I did, however, get enough gold to top my throne and enough diamonds to make a wall of jukeboxes in my guard house.

Sorry for the lack of updates, but it’s a difficult time right now – my wife and I got some very bad news earlier this week.

While I’ve been offline, though, someone built a road outside my castle, so now I’m linked in to the rest of the server.

Follow, follow, follow, follow....

That’s very nice.

I’m hoping normal blogging service should resume next week.

The evolution of my castle on the multiplayer server I talked about yesterday.

As it was yesterday, not much more than a tower.

I built on the back.

Then I built a courtyard garden on the front.

Here you can see the courtyard on the front.

Time to sign my work.

Building a big entrance way and hall on the front of the castle.

I didn't like the way it looked, so I built a guardhouse by the main entrance.

A view from another angle after some more tidying up.

The view from above.

It’s not as impressive as a lot of the other things that have been built on the server, but I like it.
