Overall I think the bed and IV stand look great. However, how does it look with a minifigure in the bed, and another minifigure standing next to the bed? I'm concerned the bed is too tall right now and will dwarf any minifigure standing next to it.
Clonaic, I love the mecha. I LOVE robots and wish I can design them well in Lego.
KTProductions121 actually made the Mecha.

You're right, it does stand way too tall.

Thank Hajime Katoki for the inspiration HoldingOurOwn.
The Mecha is pretty cool! Is it based on any specific one?

I didn't really use a existing mech design from any artworks but its almost close to the Mon-soonos from Eureka Seven. 
and Hajime Katoki's Leo and Aeries from Gundam Wing
New Model , Ball joints used in the legs peg joints on the arms.

very cool
I like the way you've done the columns. It feels a little bit too plain, like there should be some dark accent bricks in the walls. I realize there may be a story reason for the lack of windows in the front and more plain design, but I think that that extra layer of detail would make it look even better. 
That's so awesome. I agree though that the prostyle is a bit plain. Perhaps you could decorate the capitals a bit, even if just with staggered bands?
Yeah, I was thinking it looked a tad plain, though my typical strategies for adding detail don't work as well upon this style of building. I did specifically want to have columns of that style, though, somehow I thought the blocky shape oddly fitting. Adding some more detail might be a nice step to take, even though I would like this to stay mostly plain, but I haven't any really good ideas.

Prostyle? Capitals? Staggard bands?
Sorry. I'm a bit of a classical architecture nerd. By staggered bands, I mean that instead of having a plain capital, you could have it split into three bands, getting thinner as they go down, the bottom one being only fractionally thicker than the diameter. You normally see it on the architrave - the beam above the columns - in temples off mainland Greece. I can't think of any specific examples atm but I can try and find one later.
I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to describe with that last bit, but if you can find some examples, that would be quite nice. I do really need to improve this somehow.
For the area above the columns, I'm thinking of taking away the four arches and replacing them with one large arch, also, I'm thinking of putting a line of snot dark grey plates just like I did for the church and the shop directly above the columns and right under the new arch. I'm also going to elevate the windows a smidgen and try to gather up some bricks for detailing the walls a bit and perhaps trying something at the top of the columns.
Also, I made some improvements to the tree for the centere of town by use of a technique I learned here: https://flic.kr/p/7pUHbL
I like how the stone ring looks and how the tree is off the grid.
I really like the tree, It has a beautiful aspect, but that sinister feel. The base looks great, hopefully you have a way to make it look attached to the ground, putting it on tiles surrounded by normal plates might work.
I think I know what he means on the columns.
For example, if the column was 1x1, then for the top part, you could have a 1x1 round, then a 2x2 round, then a 4x4 round connected to the bottom plate of the roof. (All plates of course.) Basically, he wants the capital to get wider and wider until it connects to the building. That way it looks more fancy than just being straight and the same thickness form top to bottom. Not that wide probably, but that's a simple example.
Am I right Jammy-Boy? 
The tree and stone ring look great, as does everything else. The off-the-grid look helps it look odd and crooked, and not quite right, which is perfect for this film. You're just overachieving to a nigh-lethal degree, you know that right?

Yes, although Squid would need to find a way of doing it that doesn't end up being 4x4 at its widest. That'd be too wide.
Cool. Somehow the tree looks like it's "twisting".
The town hall from Welcome to Darkmoor.
Nice really like it. If I were you though I might change some things. I probably would take out the front walls by the columns and maybe move the columns back a stud as they look a bit funny sticking out. But that's just my opinion.
