Hello, erm, Devotionists! This will be an extension of my not-quite-a-CJ at ST. The reason that I don't call this an MD (or a CJ) is that it really has no organized updates or storyline yet (which I'll save for the final result--the real MD). Basically, this is just an outlet for my creativity, and a way that I can get feedback from SC4D, to see if I can get different responses at different websites. I'm looking forward to what you guys think.
As some of you already know, this experimental MD (and the final result) will follow a comic book style. It's Batman for God's sake!

Goodbye for now! :satisfied: (I don't really smoke).
the md is very well done but your copying me well now i have some competition best of luck to yah. great first update :thumbsup:
MOD EDIT: Derek, I'm sure that was said in fun, because all I see is two nifty CJs; each pursuing a different genre, albeit involving the same subject matter. There's plenty of room here for both you guys. -DE
Great another Gotham MD &apls will be waiting how this turns out :thumbsup:
very very nice. love the style that you are taking.
looking forward to more! :thumbsup:
awsome start! &apls
Good start here Eddie cant wait to see some more - pat
Oh great a comic aproach MD :thumbsup: I look forward to the way you mesh Simcity with Batman.
Strech.
"Ones to Watch"...cool. ()stsfd()
Dedgren had a faulty link though. The link in the "Recently Published" forum led to "Best Sellers."
MOD EDIT: Hey, watch it! One slip and that link could be to the Outer Uzbekistan Society of Proctological Research and Farm Equipment home page. Anyway, it's fixed with my apologies, Eddie. -DE
Edit: Thanks, D! :)
LOL @ David :D
Wow, where was I? I didn't even know this one was at Devotion.
Just so people know, SpecialEddie was planning this for quite awhile. The actual MD/CJ will come later. He's just teasing us with this thread....
Wow! Lots of comments. I'm starting to like this new MD system here. I'm getting the same amount of replies per update here and at ST. And SC4D is a smaller site, too. Does that say anything as for how efficient this categorization is? :) I'm no longer bumped into the abyss of Page 2 at the CJ section.
Replies:
derek_pearce: I see you've edited your comment from "Your trying to steal my views." to "your copying me." How is it copying when our MD's are completely different, as dedgren mentioned. And does it really matter if you were first to post your MD? There have been at least 2 Gotham CJ's over at ST way before you even set one up here. Competiton will be good for the both of us. Good luck.
HabLeUrG: Thanks! Glad you like it.
guurgkud: Many thanks.
dioangel: Thanks, but do you have anything else to say about the update? "awesome start" doesn't really help. &mmm
patfirefghtr: I am glad you're eager.
Strechnitz: I will mesh them quite well. They will be bread and butter.
football_fever: Thanks for clearing that up. You're one of my more detailed commenters. All your feedback is useful, and have been extremely helpful.
Thanks for all the comments everyone. However, compliments only help to boost my ego. I'd rather have one detailed reply (like football_fever's) than 10 "great jobs!!" It's this type of criticism that helps me get better. And as this is an experimental CJ to see what kind of feedback I'd get, helpful tips are extremely encouraged--compliments don't hurt either, though.
Today's update will focus on the Joker's lair, or hideout--an amusement park on a peninsula on the outskirts of Gotham City. Schulmanator from ST gave me the idea for this update, so lots of thanks to him.

And to go along with the entire Joker theme, the storyline I'm currently working on is called "Be a Clown" a tale in which the Joker befriends a young child, which gives him a short-lived spark of decency. The story is based on the episode "Be a Clown" from the Batman television series (not the campy 1960's one), though I made some changes to the story.
Feedback is welcome and appreciated. :)
That looks excellent Eddie! :thumbsup:

By the way the SCUBS will be releasing a

:thumbsup: Best of Luck from your friend derek , The other Gotham Mayor :thumbsup:
Quotemy Journal is like a year old it was first hosted at the SCU in june of 2005
Dude, who cares?
Anyways, Eddie, that's a great amusement park. Reminds me of Luna Park, but bigger.
Even though you have only provided 3 pictures, I can tell that this is going to be amazing. Those 3 pics are outstanding.
I really love that amusement park. It really captures that eerie feeling.
Definately looking forward to more.
guurgkud made me realize that I've only posted three pictures, so I decided to make an update today! But first--let's reply to your replies!
Glenni: Hey! You're pretty excellent yourself. :)
patfirefghtr: Well creepiness IS my middle-name. Wait a minute...*checks birth certificates* I've been wrong all these years...
derek_pierce: *sigh* This will go on and on and on, until we really see who was first ever to post a Gotham CJ/MD. I'm over it, and I don't really think it matters anymore. I am however, looking forward to that Gotham City Mega Pack.
Shadow Assassin: Well I think you've mentioned before that you're from Australia so I searched "Luna Park" on Wikipedia, and I clicked on the Sydney one on the disambiguation page. And guess what was the first picture:
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2Fthumb%2F9%2F9f%2FLuna_Park-Sydney-Australia.JPG%2F250px-Luna_Park-Sydney-Australia.JPG&hash=7caf3d4a7117d45f44c0c2aaa020832dd51c5254)
It's the Joker!
guurgkud: Three pictures only?! Well then I'll have to change that...
Update time! Well I finally got around to doing that "Be a Clown" title card. This version is of my own creation. You probably want to see the Joker turn around, but I think it adds a sense of mystery.

And here is a sneak peak at "Be a Clown." The mayor makes a speech about safety in the city only to be interrupted by police sirens. Ironic isn't it?

By the way, I'm thinking about a release date for the final, official "Gotham City." I'm considering posting it on July 7, because it's a catchy date (7-7-07). I also thought about releasing it on October 1 or Halloween for that Gotham mood at that time of the year, but I thought that would be too far away from now. I know how a lot of you guys are really eager to see this thing, so I think I'll keep the July date.
Bye for now!
of course im eager too see this MD complete ;D excellent comic pictures and themes, like that ironic part of the police and the mayor talking, keep going :thumbsup:
hehe... love it!
very nice mixture of SC4 and comic book. Looking forward to the Gotham City release.. although both dates are kinda far :(
Yes, I definitely don't want to wait until Halloween. Having the planning thread makes it feel like it's right around the corner. I want to see this baby!
Now that's a teaser! :)
I'm really looking forward to see the complete version of this, it looks VERY well done judging from the teasers! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
And it must be REALLY embarrasing to make a speech about safety in the city when being interrupted by sirens all the time. :D :P
This CJ's almost gone into the abyss...Batman's the only one that can save it!
HabLeUrG: Thanks for the feedback. Hope you'll stop by again.
guurgkud: :( Sorry if the dates are far. I'll make it up to you. I'll post an update today. How's that sound?
football_fever: Halloween would be too far away, I agree. This thread should help fill that empty void before the official release...
Glenni: Hey, glad you like the teaser. Well, come to think of it--this entire thread's a teaser!
A sneek peek at one of my finished storylines: Vendetta.

PEG's actually. A closer look at the cars would prove that.
Well, I'm not usually much for this type of journal, but this - I have to admit - is a masterpiece. It's amazing how you make the game shots intertwine so seamlessly with the comic style drawings. And you have chosen your pics so carefully. I just love that policestation by the sea shot, by the way.

Another teaser to keep me from going crazy before the big release of this VERY promising MD ,eh?You tease! ;D
I really like it , it's good, no, that's an understatement, this looks freakin' great! :)
Any more teasers? :D
Your combination of Sc4 and cartoon images are awesome! Great presentation!
I'm just gonna re-inforce what everyone else has said...
you've blended the comic strip with SC4 flawlessly.
And just like everyone else... looking forward to the Release! :thumbsup:
Looks great Eddie, I continue to enjoy your comic-book theme and I'm patiently waiting up for you update :thumbsup:
Oops, I had no clue that Damn was considered a bad word, I thought the version ending with an it was the bad one along with various other words that will be represented by this :angrymore: Sorry ()stsfd()
I had no idea this MD would be so controversial here at Devotion. ()stsfd() Well there was a lot of bickering and quarrels, but Gotham is back on track. However, that's not without some consequences (I lost the privelage to rate members, and I still don't know why ()what() ) but I guess it's a small price to pay to keep this MD here. It could have been worst. Now, let's all just get along.

Anyway, on with the update--well, not quite an update. It's just more of a progress report to show you guys what I'm doing: which is downloading buildings on the STEX which look similar to the ones in my storylines. Here's my first challenge: finding a pizza place that looks like the one in the image below.

And here's its SC4 counterpart. It's a waffle-house, but you get the picture. Note that the awnings and brick color are somewhat the same. The sign can easily be edited away.

What do you think? Did I make the right choice?
Now here's another part I decided to put into this progress report. I want to know what you Devotioners want to see next in this MD. So far, I have these completed storylines that I'm willing to show sneak peeks of in this thread.
Be a Clown: In which the Joker befriends the Mayor's son.
Feat of Clay: A story that involves an actor obsessed with appearance--which later becomes his downfall.
It's Never Too Late: An aging mob boss is redeemed.
On Leather Wings: A bat-like creature is committing robberies in the city. Is Batman to blame?
Pretty Poison: There's more to someone than their pretty looks. A gorgeous woman is about to prove that.
Two-Face (Part One): The District Attorney struggles with dual personality.
Vendetta: A Gotham City detective is being framed for false crimes.
The next sneak peeks are up to you!
hey Eddie,
thats a good choice but i suggest you some of this buildings by simgoober, hope you like it...
http://simpeg.com/forum/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item348
or this one
http://simpeg.com/forum/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item463
one of this building could help you, i think that waffle house looks bigger than it uses to
anyway excellent work
take care ;)
Mmm... waffles. :D
It doesn't have to be Batman canon, though. Just go with the flow, choose what you think will fit best in your city. I think the biggest problem with a recreation is that people let themselves be too limited by what exists in the city that is being recreated. Take some creative licence (and I think you've got plenty of that heading our way, anyway :P), and just choose buildings that feel 'right' to you.
You'll be surprised at what your gut feeling says.
I do look forward to seeing you release this CJ, though. It'll definitely be interesting.
Remember that you guys can suggest the next update... ;)
wonderful update(s)! Nice story! Looking forward to that next update!
Eddie great little update there man wow mmm waffles lol. so what can be done for
the next update? How about a peekie over at arkum? i think that is right spelling ()what()
but either way looking forward to the next round - pat
wow this is very cool excellent work and pics :thumbsup:
Well it's better than nothing, but patfirefghtr suggested a sneek peek of Arkham Asylum. Though it wasn't one of the choices, it gave me an idea for an update today!
Replies:
HabLeUrG: Thanks for suggesting those, but would a porno video shop really work as a pizza shop? :D I'm glad you helped me find some buildings, but after trying out your suggestions, I decided to keep with my original choice--the waffle house.
Shadow Assassin: I'm trying to make it as canon as I can, because if the audience sees the buildings side-by-side (which I'll be doing in the CJ), they'll notice the differences and that usually distracts from the story. I want them to see how similar the Batman-building is compared to its SC4 counterpart.
bat: The bat speaks!
patfirefghter: Waffles mmmm. Thanks for suggesting Arkham.
jacqulina: Thanks, jacky.
Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane. This castle-like mental institution houses criminals such as Joker and Two-Face--criminals who have trouble distinguishing fantasy from reality with their distorted minds.

Eddie: Baffles me why this really interesting MD isn't getting a lot more attention. There's so much quality effort apparent here. It could be that, while the SC4 content is amazingly well-integrated with the "comix" style pics and story, there just isn't enough of it to capture the reader's interest. I don't know, and I've been guilty of looking here but not commenting myself. SC4D MD commenting generally has stayed pretty much on track- so it has to be something else.
Readers- if you have suggestions for our friend as to what he could be doing to warrant your increased interest, now's the time to speak up.

David youre right, i dunno why I didnt comment last two updates ()what()

coming back cause as in with Derry's MD its against the grain it aint normal and i love
reading stuff that aint right LoL welll ok ummm not good choice of words but you get
what im saying i love the offbeat stuff - pat
Ah, I think the biggest problem with the MDs is that most people are used to seeing topic summaries like on ST - you know, the second line of text that people usually use to tell others that they've got an update. But the rate of commenting in proportion to the entire active community is actually quite good.
That aside, Eddie, you've got a brilliantly designed city and some excellent pictures. I can't wait until the 7th.
Whoah! I had almost pretty much given up on this CJ until dedgren saved it from drowning. I thought people simply weren't interested...or was I some part of some great government conspiracy?! But anyway, let's get this show on a roll. We have some lost time to make up for.
dedgren: Thanks for the comment, david. I was baffled too, as to why I hadn't been receiving feedback (when the first few updates generated quite a bit of attention).
HabLeUrG: Gracias! Though I'm not really trying to make these comix funny, but if you think so, I have no problem with that.
patfirefghtr: Who's derry? ()what() But I think I get what you're trying to say. You like off-the-beaten-path kinda stuff. Well this CJ will be really off-the-beaten-path.
Shadow_Assassin: I agree. I actually though the rate of commenting for sc4D compared to ST was pretty good...in the beginning of this CJ...and then the faucet started slowing down...then it turned into a trickle...and then the water company shut it off altogether. But I hope this CJ will get back on track. I really want to build awareness for the release.

but i will be looking for the next update - pat
wow! i cant believe i didnt see this sooner....i love how your using Batman the animated series as the comic strips....i love that old version they had on FOX back in the day when i was a kid....good job!! &apls :thumbsup:
patfirefghtr: Thank you, pat!
Filasimo: Yeah. I think everyone has good memories watching Batman TAS as a kid. Glad you recognized it!
Just to let everyone know, Gotham won't be entirely a story-based CJ. It'll also have the classic element of eye-candy. Basically, I'll be showing pictures (as seperate updates) that'll showcase what part of the city is being set in the story.
Here are some building comparisons.

The above picture looks like the below image.

And the image below shows the grittiness of the city, lots of trash, graffiti, noisy elevated rail...

HabLeUrG: !Gracias!
patfirefghter: I've been thinking about what you've said actually. The reason I want to start a new thread is that I want THIS Mayor Diary is an accompaniment to the much bigger version. This thread is to get suggestions from people on how to fix things for the final result. However, I won't be leaving this thread. While I'm running Gotham City in the Recently Published forum, I'll be updating this MD to show teasers and progress update to get people over there.
Snaper: Thank you!
More random city shots today!
Compare the next two images to each other.

Nicccce ok now i know your master plan LoL hehehe... Great update here and i loved that club - pat
:thumbsup: Wow! I just registered to this site today and when i came upon the MD forums, I was immediately attracted by the name "Planning Gotham City". I knew it had to do with my #1 favorite comic book hero ()stsfd() .
The way you are going about this MD is awesome (i happen to love comic books) and the way you are merging Simcity with the Batman comics is great. I love how the buildings match. I cant wait to see more!
Tomorrow (7-7-07), Gotham City will make its way to the "Recently Published" section! Yes, folks. The real CJ is here!

patfirefghter: Grr! You know my plan!
serenity086 What could be your number one comic book hero? Hmmm. It's always nice to stumble upon another fan of comic books. What kind do you read? You know--to see what my audience is like.

Really nice looking pics. Can't wait to see your CJ. ;D

Growing up i used to read my cousins Marvel comics but only really own about 2 books now :-[ . Hopefully someday i'll read my fiance entire Marvel collection, and its a lot of books lol.
It's here! Gotham City on SC4 Devotion is now in the Recently Published Section. Check out the hefty introduction here:
