Lantern Updated! Finally finished 98% of the theme after 500+ hours! Please visit! :)

I also just got my 500 hours badge. It was pretty thrilling since I didn't even know it existed, lol.
 
You are welcome.

Did you guys have a look in the homes?

I would recommend Ziggy's house for the most story, then Mitsuko's. The other is just for fun, but well worth seeing. Another person made that :)
 
*Edited to add: I hope I didn't give any spoilers--I don't know if my observations would be considered spoiler-y. If you feel they are, I'll gladly edit them out.

I hadn't dreamed about Lantern since last Halloween, so I am there again right now!

First impression: Still love those psychedelic paths, and paired with the perfect hourly music, it creates an incredibly calm, wistful atmosphere. I felt the same in Mitsuko's house--very nostalgic and wistful, with the party decor and toys, and music like "Only Me." It reminds me of the feeling after a party. The bedroom at the back struck me especially as a place to go for comfort. The room at the left seemed to me to be a shrine or meditation kind of room (combined with a tea/dining room); I could be wrong of course, but I loved the sounds of the gyroids in there. I stood and listened for a while.

I still enjoy the basement of Choobi's house, as I think I mentioned after my previous dream. I could imagine my IRL guy friends having a great time there. Haha.

In Ziggy's house, I noticed right away that you kept part of the well scene intact (in the basement, too..and I made sure to visit the outdoor well again). I'm glad, because it makes me laugh.
The room to the left felt like being inside someones dream, which was cool. The room at the back...wow. I have no idea if I am on the right track with what you meant for it to represent (especially since I don't know if you've updated the DA since this post), but to me it meant something very powerful.
There's still something about the tiny bathroom that I find very charming and bohemian.

I took a pic of the Wart Jr. tribute. Very sweet. (In my photo, I was crying, because I know what he meant to you!)

Lantern is a wonderful dream town to visit if you want to feel calm and soothed, yet entertained. :cool:

Aww thank you! i just saw this now! :)

You saw my dream address at the right time!

I appreciate it so much much! I'm so glad you saw the Wart Jr sign :)

I've updated it recently, but there is nothing that new for old visitor to see.

I've just made Mitsuko's back room a little nicer looking, and Muffy has moved out---but I didn't want to lose my DA so just updated after a bit of cleaning up & minor changes.
I think I should have left it at the last update with Muffy still there & the night time. Oh well!

I'll be encouraging people to look again when I move in my last 2-3 villagers! Seeing Muffy has moved out, I have a few spaces because I don't like Chow who moved in accidentally.

It's a shame as Muffy's house was looking great, I got her a creepy crystal for her birthday & she put it in her house. On the plus side Freya's house is shaping up well.

I'm stuck with it now, wondering about a 4th character, or entirely new town???....

I also think there needs to be a few more touches to make it a proper theme town that lots of people visit, but not sure what those little touches are because I'm happy with most of it & adding too much more would crowd it.

It still feels 90-95% done but not sure what that little extra needs to be.
 
This sounds really interesting and I've been meaning to check out some dream towns for inspo. I'll try to remember to check it out when I have some free time tomorrow!
