Following the failure in defending the English Logo, the Chibi Paimon was built during the early hours of the first canvas expansion. Bordering it to the left is a pixel art piece made by r/hatsune, a community that formed a close alliance with GenshinPlace. The alliance between the two communities is a notable detail in this art piece. | Following the failure in defending the English Logo, the Chibi Paimon was built during the early hours of the first canvas expansion.

Built as part of the United Gacha Mural, the Genshin App Icon depicts Genshin Impact’s mascot, Paimon.

During initial construction, Paimon’s skin tone was planned to be white/grey on the basis of dithering, a pixel art technique which helps pixel art pieces look better when viewed zoomed-out. However, users who were not in the Discord and not filled in on the plans mistakenly coloured it pink. This led to a civil war of sorts with the community unable to decide on the colour of their mascot’s face. Eventually, a compromise was made with Paimon’s face coloured in beige. Paimon’s face is visible on the heatmap as a bright red, a result of this event along with a streamer invasion. | During initial construction, Paimon’s skin tone was planned to be white/grey on the basis of dithering, a pixel art technique which helps pixel art pieces look better when viewed zoomed-out.

A product of the close alliance formed between r/polandball and GenshinPlace, Polandball-Hu Tao was built as part of the United Gacha Alliance mural. The main motivations behind the project were to thank the r/polandball community for the strong alliance, as well as to represent the WFP (Wangsheng Funeral Parlour) community, who were a Genshin Impact community that contributed greatly to GenshinPlace’s success. | A product of the close alliance formed between r/polandball and GenshinPlace, Polandball-Hu Tao was built as part of the United Gacha Alliance mural.

The construction of the art piece was fraught with conflict with other communities, namely r/Maryland. Due to confusion and miscommunication, United Gacha Alliance members believed they had an alliance with r/Maryland, which the moderators from both GenshinPlace and United Gacha Alliance were unaware of. | The construction of the art piece was fraught with conflict with other communities, namely r/Maryland.

Venti was originally built on the G of the English Genshin Impact logo. Due to constant damage from raids, it was later relocated above the Chinese Genshin Impact logo. Eventually, his hat was replaced with a traditional Dutch hat as a symbol of alliance with r/placeNL. | Chibi Venti was originally built on the G of the English Genshin Impact logo.

<blockquote>I hope that I speak for everyone involved when I say that r/place 2022 was a truly unforgettable experience. There’s a peculiar nostalgia for those four days I spent with the r/genshinplace community despite how recent it was. | |||
While writing this report, I found myself reliving many of those memories. While cliche, I do believe I’ll continue to treasure this encounter for many years to come. I hope that reading through this report has allowed you to enjoy that, as well. | |||
I’ve made the best effort I could to narrate the experiences of r/genshinplace during r/place 2022, but as always, there will be some details that slip through the cracks, or details I’ve left out to prevent the document from getting too bloated. Feel free to contact me if you believe it’s important to the overarching story. | |||
I believe I owe you thanks for reading through all this, so, thank you. If you participated in r/genshinplace alongside me, it has been a pleasure. And if not, thank you for taking the time to read through our adventures regardless. | |||
As I’ve said before, I do hope that our paths may cross again. Perhaps in the next r/place. But until then, I wish you nothing but the best in whatever endeavours you may embark on. | |||
Ad astra abyssosque. | |||
