Riviera is the base of N1cM4tth3w63 on the Akita world of Survival 5 on the Dogcraft Server. The base was founded shortly after the the release of Survival 5 in March 2023, and was worked on at a steady pace until the end of Survival 5 in October 2023.
About the Base
The base was inspired by lot's of the building N1cM4tth3w63 would see on his trips to Spain. Later inspiration was taken from the City of Leon, with N1cM4tth3w63 trying to experiment with different and more daring block palettes. The first builds to be constructed were the lower row of houses by the waters edge, nestled into the cliff face. These houses acted at facades for the more functional aspects of the base, with a honey farm, wool farm, auto-smelter and store room located behind each respectively.
Outside the lower houses was a spacious waterfront, with several winding staircases leading up to the upper end of the town. These builds were much larger in scale but unfortunately were never completed, and largely remained as front facades, one was completed and decorated into a clothes shop though.
As 2023 began N1cM4tth3w63 lost motivation on the town area and turned his attention to a hillside a few hundred blocks away from the main town. This would become a large castle, one of N1cM4tth3w63's more ambitious builds, as it was designed to feature minimal straight lines, instead being built largely diagonally. There were many different sections to the castle, with the terraformed cliffside, to the several towers and battlements, to the large keep at the rear.
The central courtyard of the castle was planned to be the location for the town's SRN Station, which would be part of the Akita Ring Line. Unfortunately due to the reset occurring these plans never materialized.
