They may well make him the next member of the month to do just that.
Would be well deserved.

Congratulations bro this is awesome can't believe it's been added.
He worked hard to pull all of this together and definitely deserves a reward to thank him and motivate further ideas. At least 2k!
Thanks all, got an influx of messages and just saw that they added it to the game! Happy to help in any way and glad SC saw how great the idea's response was! I'm sure it's been in development for some time now, but hopefully my idea influenced them somehow :)
Now all we need are Layouts and this thread is done!
I'm curious to see how the Base Builder is implemented and the steps needed to redesign the base!
And Lieto, guess it's not as difficult as you might have thought to implement hehe.
@ Everyone, stay tuned for another thread I've been working on that I think you'll like ;)
Huskies, the idea was that you would start with 2 Layouts available (like Builder's Huts) and you could unlock 3 more Layouts to use based on the number of Builder's Huts you have purchased. It's a win-win for both the player and SC as a business, making more incentive for people to make in-game purchases. Kudos to (I believe) Mufasa for the suggestion.
Could also simply unlock with gems.
Well it looks like supercell liked your idea, we are getting an in game builder :D
In game builder = awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it'll be added!!!! I can't believe it!!!!!!!!!! excellent job mastermind. Your posts are an inspiration. The community is glad you suggested this awesome update.
Thank you for suggesting this! Because now it's a reality, and one I'm glad to be a part of.
Master mind I congratulate you, they have take your Idea and ran with it.... well deserved knowing you left your mark on the game
Give this man a raise! Or a job! Clearly a lot of time and effort has gone into this. You are truly oiving up to your name, 'Mastermind'. Thankyou for sharing with the community. Will benefit us a lot.
This is how suggestions should be. Well thought out with lots of 'mock-up' pictures.
Awesome UI! :cool:
Yeah, it had lots of details. Well done!
Wow man i just logged in to thank you. You made a terrific job, even the colors, layout and pictures you chose are perfect. Supercell should definetely hire you in their team, you can teach them some great stuff as we can see
The only reason that from here is to congratulate Mastermind, thanks for your ideas, I hope Supercell note your effort, should hire you :D
It's gonna be in the game!!
bravissimo.
FYI mastermind posted this a week ago, this update would have been in motion since the last don't be fooled, coincidently he has pulled out a similar design idea, but it wasn't super-cells "wow this awesome thread, let's implement this"
It's also the base design on many other games, and one of the coc of clans builders, just with a little information.
Well done on the effort, good to see a bit of thought was pulled into it. But very weird, it's like you knew supercell where doing this, posted 2/3 days before the sneak peaks, any mods may want to remind supercell to check their firewalls, or someones dad who works for you guys has been given his own sneak peaks :P
Yes, this has been up for 2 weeks, and earlier in the thread Steve said this idea was on their radar but no plans to implement it. Either he was stirring our pots or they moved it up! Honestly, doesn't matter, just glad it is being implemented and hopefully my thread helped if any :)
Haha, too funny! No, if I knew they were going to be putting this up 2 weeks after I made mine, I probably wouldn't have spent all the time making it, but thanks for the laugh ;) Plus my idea has a lot more features than the one they are going with (largely due to no Layouts) and it's a similar look but again, more involved and tons or more features than the BB game.
ye, gj man! Its better than moving walls tile by tile, glad they did it.
To be truly useful, saving layouts is a must. Making it easier to change a base is only half the journey, the destination is being able to arrive at favoured designs and hoping between them quickly.
For example you change a layout only to find that the previous design fared better on defence...right now you need external tools or a great memory (or a sneaky screenshot!) to get back to the original (and a shield and about 45 mins). A simple button press is where this needs to get to ;)
Why hasnt supercell hired you?? This i s an amazing idea... after your town hall gets to a higher lvl as u mentioned, it is such a big hassle to rearrange ur layout. This is a really good post with lots of good details to show how this feature would really improve the gameplay. My hat's off to you!! :)
Sounds like a great idea! You really have good skills.
MasterMind can you make a Clan Wars thread?
I send my warm gratitude for influencing SC to implement this feature :)
I never really post but like to read the forum... felt I needed to reply ....
WOW!! just... WOW!! MASTERMIND!!!!!
Like you said, it would take months to code all this, and this is not a brand new idea, many people have asked for this before, which caused SC to start working on that. All mastermind is doing is like what a beta tester would and leak out all the information, may be coincidence or not, but good job on your hard work to write all the info out and giving us pictures.
Have you considered the amount of memory required now for the app if this was to be implemented? I don't know too much about memory use but I would assume this would take a considerable amount of it. It's just a minor problem, but other than that great job and it looks well done.
Haha no worries, and yes I'd imagine the Layouts would be more of a server strain so we should see!
LOL no, when I write hehe, it's more of a half "haha". It's funny you mention that, because my girlfriend always thought I meant "hee hee" like a little girl giggling when it's actually heh heh. Sorry, random ;)
Damn great work, Supercell should hire you. Like now. Like right right now. :) Who knows what else you can cook up with a innovator like you.
Amazing!!! Let's hope that SC will add this. Would make life so much easier.
Good job mastermind! Respect
Wow, i think you actually influenced SC to i plement base builder! Thank you!
new goblin map thread with pics?
very new to the thread, but ive been playing over a year now and have mentioned a base builder option MULTIPLE times. no idea why this isnt a main function already. Thanks for taking the time to make all this and showing them what we've all been wanting since day one!
hopefully it takes effect!

OMG!!! you are an awesome system analyst and graphic designer too.
You want to work at software company? I kinda like your way thinking.. lol
thanks.
When and how can we download it? It is awesome!
thanks to you:) your amazing idea made supercell put this to the next update:) you're awesome!!!!
Appreciate the support Fl4vor, but they didn't steal the idea ;) The idea itself (Base Builder) has been requested for months so I just put my own twist and ideas together to create this thread. Plus, something as big as Village Mode wasn't just made after the thread, it was probably talked about and started awhile ago. They possibly moved it up sooner, but they had it in the works I'm sure for some time. Crazy how similar mine and theirs is though, but a lot of differences too!
Got a lot more ideas I'd love to share/work on, they just take time and I need to decide if I want to keep making them. Although I am doing another for sure, which should be out in a couple days.
Great work Masermind!! This is really amazing, and I'm glad to see something like this being implemented into the game.
I do have one suggestion, not sure if its really worth putting in, but some sort of way to "Select All", I cannot tell you how many time I have designed my base and its just off to the one side by like 2 tiles and its not worth the effort redesigning to move the whole base 2 tiles over, but something like that may be possible in the base builder. Especially all those people like me that like having square, neat, and in its place!!
Once again, great work!
Hey Mastermind, I heard your in the making of another idea, Clan Wars?
Hey Roman :) Would love to tackle Clan Wars and have different ideas for how I think it should be. The thread I've been working on is a different idea though, one that has been suggested here and there, but I've gone SUPER in depth to it. It will be a longer thread than this one, and hopefully you guys like it!
Was hoping it would be up a few days ago, but unfortunately there are these things called bills and jobs I gotta finish first, even though I have a lot more fun/would rather make these ;) Should be out soon!
Congrats on your idea. It is in the new update :))
Added an edit at the beginning of the thread talking about how Village Edit Mode was added!
Attachment 18150
Congratulations Mastermind! You deserve this award!
I would love to see this soon how cool u r really a mastermind.
Wow well thought out ideas! I can't believe how similar the update was top your ideas they obviously read your thread! Lol keep it up man ! :-)
Wow it's really cool! I remember me posting on this thread awhile ago and wow this suggestion is up. Also you got rewarded 1000 gems.. NOT COOL AT ALL!!! Why not 2000 gems?? That would have been a lot better
Sorry for bumping this guys, but figured this was the best way to reach you since many have been waiting for and asking when my next thread would be up (thought it was going to be up earlier but just been busy).
Happy to say it'll be up later today! :) Think you guys will like it, it's pretty detailed, even more than this one (and no, not Clan Wars).
Hey Charlie, yes real life things did. Wish I could devote more time to it, because it would have been up a week or 2 ago hehe. Anyways, it would have been up last night but had a token expiration error message, so just need to re-input everything (it's saved). Will be up for sure within the next 2-3 hours.
although this as already been added in here are my thoughts. Why did SC only put in Half of it? i would LOVE to have the layout part added in. But i guess too much info to handle.
I hope Supercell implents your idea, I love it! Nothing to complain about
Soo mastermind? Has supercell contacted you about this coming or anything :rolleyes:.
Lol. I don't think so, I doubt it will be put i the game:rolleyes:
?????????????????????
Pleasantly surprised that this thread was bumped :)
Unfortunately no :( But SuperSteve did say they liked both ideas in this thread! Especially the idea of adding Layouts and tying in the number of layouts to the number of builders you have.
Funny because they actually did add it to the game lol ;) As for the Layouts idea, it's something SC has said they want to add in the future, and Steve made some comments about it in the first 10 pages or so.
I was thinking about this thread... I was wondering why can't this be done on their website? I mean, it would be nice to rebuild my village online with a mouse, rather than on my iPhone, but I am sure that many play this game one a tablet... But why not have the game online as well? It is a simple point and click... Then SC could even make money from computer users...:confused:
Great thread we need layouts they are really cool
Well tico, that's a whole different idea and issue and I think it's because SC is just focusing on the mobile aspect. There are actually a few builders already online if you want to try them. Glad you like the idea!
Thanks man!
This has been my fav of all your ideas, thankfully SuperCell added it in -some- forum.
Really hope the saved layouts are around the corner. With the idea of saving as many designs depending no the number of builder huts you have.
You have 4 builder huts, you can save up to 4 designs; etc.
I didn't read that much of it, but I'm just gonna say well done! Great idea!
Has Master mind ever given us mercy on his threads?? NO
Was the time it took to read his ideas always worth it??? YESSSSSS
5 Star btw
Village Edit mode was announced a few weeks after this thread came out, and Steve did mention in the earlier comments that the idea was something they wanted to do but wasn't set as a plan. The thread got popular and a couple weeks later it was announced! Here's what Steve said: "I can't promise anything, all I can say is that this idea is on our radar, but there is no current plan or set date for it's addition!"
Steve must have been trolling, because I'm sure the idea took more than a few weeks to make. And even though they look similar, they probably just had a similar design in mind to how I imagined it. Glad we were in alignment :)
Lol, wow thanks Germ!
Heh, I still remember how blown away we were when we saw your thread.
In that morning when we came to the office, someone from the dev team had found your thread and linked it to me, and my first reaction was that has someone leaked it.... :D I didn't know you so well back then, so I had no idea how brilliant ideas you have!!!
And yep, a feature like this wasn't developed in a week. We usually work on multiple updates at the same time, meaning that big features take something like 4-6 updates from now, mid-size features that we're working on today will most likely come in 2-3 updates from now. Then there's always stuff that's faster to design, code, draw, animate, balance, test and translate, and that's something that we're working on today and will be in the next update. Our biggest feature so far hasn't been released yet, and if I remember this correct, Village Edit mode development started during the previous update's development, so it was a mid-size feature :)
Edit: Hehe, we try not to spill our beans and reveal new features before the sneak peeks :cool: That's why Steve's reply was what it was.
Love reading things like that Marika :) And you are definitely way too kind! Lol, I bet the people designing it said to themselves, "What the..." but I'm sure they were happy in knowing the response was nothing but positive throughout this thread.
You are definitely right, an update like that was most likely in development for awhile (planned, drawn, implemented, tested, re-tested, etc.) over the course of a couple months. It was neat to see how similar our styles of thinking were in regards to even small things like layout, button placement, look, etc.
Thanks for sharing about the process of an update! I'm sure the community would want to know about that, so hopefully more people see your post or it can also be posted somewhere else too! Reallly excited to know what "our biggest feature so far hasn't been released yet" is, although I'm sure I can guess ;)
Yeah Steve is "tricksy" that's for sure, had us thinking it wasn't even in the works then BAM! But I'm glad we weren't expecting it. Thanks for your response Marika, it's always a pleasure to hear from you :D
DoIt now!!!!;)
I like the idea, especially being able to save an idea. One other thing to add maybe would be able to send new base design ideas to clan mates as mail. But great work on all the pictures. Really enjoy the ideas and effort put in.
Now it is in game isn't it, how great was that?!:d
The ingame editor is great, but the addition of being able to save multiple ideas/layouts, and to save an unfinished layout would be golden in my opinion.
Incredible job by Mastermind. :)
