Day and Night versions of BTC locations

[Jason Totoro]

As we all are most likely sure, each beutiful day the earth turns around once. Although, this law of science seems to be completely avoided in the city of Bedtime. So, around 4:00 GMT (The site's default time zone) The sky would turn to a yellowish color and the sun would appear to be setting.

Around 9:00 GMT, the sun would "set" and the location would be near pitchblack, except for the exceptions. These aren't exactly your everyday exceptions, however. I've taken as much time being as creative as i possibly can with these lighting sources.

Feather Park

Feather Park. An average park, with only one difference: The huge feather figure atop the fountain. Much can be learned from Jebediah, the old fellow who sits next to it, about this gigantic symbol.
The reason in which I'm talking about the feather so much is because THIS huge thing is supposed to be the nightly lightsource. It will glow a yellowish color, brightening the entire park, despite the near black sky.
There is one little thing about this fact: The entire park won't be completely lighted. The back of the park, such as the benches and the trees will be considerably darker than the main portion of the area.

Why would you do this?

This idea recently popped into my head. These areas will be so dark becuse, with October coming like a speeding bullet, i had Halloween in mind. I think this dark feel could really help an Halloween-based event go smoother.. And the talking tree would be twice as spooky as before >:]

The Bar
The bar. Many of you think this is the exception to my cretivity rule, as the easiest way would just to throw a lighter brightess level as well as a flare to the lights there. But for once, you're WRONG. What I'm thinking of here is having neon lights all over the place, coming in purple, green, and blue. They'll be near everywhere, around the couch, Surrounding the dartboards, on the bar edges.

There will be some improved lights that are added in, such a green-ish glow from the beer cabin, lights behind the bar itself, and a few other things. It's quite hard to explain - Let the pictures do the talking.

Why would you do this?
Although not exactly super-accurate, lots of bars have countless neon sign plastered all over the wall, so I figured "Why not take it a step further?"
i'm sure that the users would like the idea; I'll have to see for myself. This would probably be the hardest area to lighten up, since I'm planning to lighten near everything.

Any holidays in mind for this one?
Not exactly. the color of the lights, as well as the decorations could be changed up a little, like for Christmas: the lights could all be red and blue. This could aslo apply for flag day, Easter, and even Halloween - If Ioji would be bothered to throw some lightup jack-o-lanterns in there.

Bar, morning version - Janitor NPC (GMT time 6:01 to 11:00)

EDITOR'S COMMENTS: "Wait a second, did you say JANITOR?!"
Yeah. Yeah i did. From GMT 6:01 to 11:00, a new NPC will appear in the bar. He looks quite a bit like Jebediah himself, although his hair is shaved more and he has a black uniform. From this time, he himself enters the bar and takes place by the western side of the lower bar, sweeping every two seconds or so with the occasionial speech added.

Quizaboom
"Quizaboom? THIS place needs a lighting source?" Actually, yeah. I thought that it would give a bit of a flare to the rooms. I thought that, in addition to the new lighting source, a BANNER at the top displaying the current GMT time, as well as the current round (EX General Knowledge, 4:56 PM)

Why would you do this?
Just cause. I really didn't have much inspiration with this one, but i thought with a couple new additions, the place could really be cool.

Any holidays?
No. Sorry guys, it's really hard to find inspiration with such a place. It's already pretty exciting. I guess you could change the color of the bot in the room to fit the current color of the holiday. Since after all, the stand colors, Question marks, and wires all would represent the time. I'll let the pictures do the talking here.

The Beach
I wasn't too creative with this one. A lighthouse off in the distance would light the water, brightening it to a light green. The Battleships would light up and the ice-cream machines would light the shack.

Holidays?
Nope. it's a beach, it's pretty hard to find holidays for THAT...

Lava Lounge!
The Lava Lounge! The newest addition to the BTC, The Lava Lounge has really been a popular place. So, as well with this, I want to make this one the most spectacular of them all, with the giant lava.. Volcano thing glowing like a star during the nihgttime, as well as a change of music.
ATM, I'm not really sure what else to put up here, but i guess i'll figure that out when i start it up.

ANY HOLIDAYS?!
Oh yeah. Every single holiday you can think of. The whole place'll change when the holidays come, and even the day/night versions will get mixed up - For instance, Christmas day at nighttime version, everything in the room (excluding the lava) will turn blue and red.
And the drinks'll change too.

FAQ
Where did you get the inspiration?
- Well, It all started out when a certain Niall changed his avi to a picture of himself hiding under a tree in the rain, in the SL. I decided this was an absolute wonderful idea. I tried making some weather scenes to actually try and make it real, but i didn't have Photoshop at the time which didn't help at all. And also, i later learned that it'd probably take too much time to make the spontaneous weather changes. So i moved onto other things, since my mind was exploding with ideas at the time.
So, i got the ideas for some vehicles, a cafe (Which i later decided would be connected to the library Pip is making), and some day and night versions of BTC. I just recently thought it would be a good idea to make a HUGE thread with all locations to get specifically noticed.

Holidays? What?
- I decided to throw in some holidays when i realized Halloween was coming up. i realized that the Lounge would be near the perfect place to hold an event, so the idea was born.

So who's this Janitor guy gonna be?
- The Janitor NPC was mostly described in the EDITOR'S COMMENTS section under the screenie, but i guess I'll give you a better explanation. He looks like Jebediah, but without as much hair. Wearing blue-ish overalls and a yellow flannel shirt, he sits at the back of the bar (Where the hidden window sits, as seen in the afternoon shot) and slowly sweeps the spot he stands at. He'll be about 10 meters from the cop, which i would suggest should move up the the corner of where the dartboards and the back wall meet. he'll talk every once in awhile, commenting on the "Dirty floors" and how "The bargoers are carelss about cleaning up after themselves."

- So you say the Janitor's only gonna be in the morning version? Entrance, Exit? What's here?
- Good question. The Janitor, at exactly 6:01 AM GMT time, the Janitor will walk through the door, and walk over to the square. The square will not be able to be occupied by anyone else during the other times of the day.

Nice work, you sure have some mad editing skills, but don't you think they are a little too flashy? Trying going for something more subtle in the colour contrasts.
