Inspired by townscaper, go check it out it’s a very cool game! (or tool?)  
also tip, don’t be afraid to copy paste a section, architecture is about balancing the structure of repetition with the uniqueness of chaos.

Usually we assemble the news on github, then we can post it here. That includes art. If possible try to make a github account because that makes communication way easier

was going to reply, ended up with a longer post so ill put it here

fun fact i almost never use pure white or black in my art! I find that the best palettes have slight tints and shade to their darks and lights as that is more akin to how we percieve things in real life.  
I also find that it’s hard to use in many palettes because of how strongly contrasting it is

- colour is very relative so having both extremes of brightest and darkest affects yr other colours.

I would use pure white/black _maybe_ if it was a smaller, stylised colour ramp.

you can see the difference quite clearly in this recent weekly i did

a lospec daily i did with pure white and black:

 ![Hand](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/b/6/b6468922edf1d12509e4b1ae5c3086888318a86c.png)

edited vers (only changed black and white)

 ![Hand2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/5/b/5b6cb00aa41e0278121ca7affc4e352b05fd7f2d.png)

\*i prefer the last 2, the first is still a very apealing style, i just think that it’s much harder to do well.

another great example of tinted whites (and darks!)  
give gordo some love!
