Title: Original
Post by: Krio on August 12, 2007, 02:33:40 PM
Qaddro wasn't all eyecandy, but VALTIO was all so called eyecandy. Now I start new, fresh original MD where I just play the game with "eyecandy" things like sunken highways, few plopped skyscrapers and stadiums, but mostly I just zone areas and wait growing. Terraforming will be handmade. I haven't named the cities, this one what will be seen first is called A1. A1 is still new city and allready it's population is over 30 000 and it's small city lot.

Time to update and give replies. I've been mostly batting, but now I played game again and made A1 look beautiful -> added parks, plazas and stuff. Then I also made new city, A2 which will be shown later. This has been fun to play and look how they grow, no more spending hours to plopping things and that kind of poop.

REPLIES
Hableburg: thank you
Ennedi: LOL, you and your need for space :P Actually those towers are really close each other, but other one is higher :D but good that you like this.
belfastuniguy: thank you, this developes nicely. Though some people might not like zoning..
Yoman: Everything is original!
gorillazmatt: thank you
getdown11: Thanks. I sent you a pm and also gorillazmatt answered
gorillazmatt again: thanks for helping!
Pat Riot of Pink Elephants: those will dance with my avatar! Coke tower, because it's a reward. Making a Pepsi Tower is a good idea! MAKE IT.
Schulmanator: Thank you! Tahvo Kissa is in the background and might come fool around.

Thank you, thank you. This second city, A2 was more annoying, because I made the harbour to look good and industrial demand was low even it's neighbour A1 has huge demand for industrial jobs.

Anyway, replies and comments:

belfastuniguy: Thank you.

Hello folks. Now I'm gonna show some previews from Genosha (yeah, named after fictional nation from Marvel's universe). As you can see, the full grow can be very ugly. I've started to thinking to plop all commerical skyscrapers, after they grow to make things more beautiful. Compared to my other downtowns, like Tigropoli and Ronja's Tonkso City this is n00bish poop.

Woot, Bengt!  A really great start- you should talk to Lloyds of London about insuring your MD skills- they're that special.

I'll be watching really closely to see where you take this- one thing I know, it won't be anywhere anyone can predict.

Good luck!

Time for original Original update  $%Grinno$%

Again I've played Genosha, working with second island which should become rich people's neighbourhood but at the moment there is little parks and it's invaded by LBT's Ghetto  ;D I'm going to show more "details" of Downtown, which actually is quite small island compared to mainland. Downtown holds almost 90 000 people at the moment, so I've doubled region's population with Genosha  ;D

REPLIES
Pat Riot: ;D there is actually three of your bats ;)
mjig: thanks for comment, oh Holy Grater
hotdogs: well, improving and improving :P They are more "American" than my previous regions VALTIO and Qaddro, which are heavily European.
Pat Fire: thank you. The blue McDonald's is old. Is it Kevdan's growable? I'm not sure :/
dedgren: thanks! I called to Finnish insurance man Björn Wahlroos, but Ol' Teddy just laughed :thumbsdown:
bat: thank you.
Pat Riot: or both ;)

This last picture is great.  It looks so natural just the way the canal runs through the area.  I especially like the corner point with the tower.

The teaser is very good, partially because it doesn't give away too much to the reader $%Grinno$% I like the setup and the island, but I recommend making a new lot in LE for the diagonal part of the canal in urban areas, so that it has a concrete base texture that would blend in better.
Do I spy an unreleased BAT? $%#Ninj2
