City by the Sea
by Necro
For those that have been on 3DX for a while, the name Necro will certainly ring a bell. Many will remember his creations such as Old Town, Oasis and Verdant Realms with fondness. This builder likes to encourage discovery and there are lots of neat touches if you walk around and explore thoroughly. The room is currently being hosted by the lovely EllieNash and is open 24/7.
City by the Sea was built between 2022 and 2023 with about 200-250 hours of work. An older build from 2021 called Abyss was attached to it upon completion. Monopoly hosted the music for Abyss and created the room promo art. There is still a billboard with her old radio on it, krieg.host. City’s current file size is 4.63MB.

Tampere, Finland was the room’s inspiration, particularly the Grand Hotel, Half Moon Games, the seaside walk, and the mall. There’s a single apartment with a Finnish flag in one area too.

By far one of the best builds I have seen in recent months is the room City by the Sea hosted by Ellie Nash and built by the builder Necro.

We know the value of these spaces – for couples looking for solace, for other builders needing a break from the editor, for photographers who want a versatile space, for introverts who want a safe space, for partiers who need a quiet place to think for a few minutes, for new people who don’t know what you can do with editor, for friends who want to take pics for their galleries. There’s so much value across the board, and I could go on.
