kbieniu7: Thanks.  This is my industrial city.  Check out the first post for more farmland, and I promise there is more to come.   

Pytkowski: Thanks, I think.    I'm definetly still an amature, and I did this to try and force myself to continue a region, rather than restart it.  It's worked so far.

Pat: Glad you enjoyed it.  And I'll be watching.

Joan: Welcome to page 2!  I'm a Landscape Architect by trade, so green space is important.  I'm trying to include it everywhere I can.

You can see the members of the Dutch community trying to retain some of their heritage.

Ok - another region in the world damned forever...

This park is where the locals like to meet and tell lies. You can usually find Sam, Naroc
and the Vicki's hiding behind one of the trees. Most of the locals visit occasionally, usually
when some of the local wildlife wanders by

LOL - see - this is what you get from it

With the major increase in industry in South Lester something needed to be done to avoid piling
up all the products.  Lord Pegasus suggest that the denizens of the abyss may be willing to trade,
but as they had been receiving his garbage that idea was scrapped.  Port Terrington was mooted
as a way to move the goods.



The residents of South Lester were quick to move across to provide workers for
the construction of the port.



As you can see the construction of the port is well under way.  Major
earthworks are required before the port will be ready.



Lets take a closer look.  If you look close you can see the areas where they have
dug a little deep and reached the water table.  Construction on some of the port
facilities have begun.

Wynney's crew are exceeding expectations on this project, which is lucky because
Vandy's shipping company are snapping at his heels to get the port functional.  The
industry barons of South Lester will be watching with interest.

Sebes:  It's not that bad really, as long as we keep the numbers down.

[Pat]

LoL Diggis I sure will be watching over your shoulders as well lol!!! Great update!!!

[Jmouse]

Nifty looking update, Shaun! That animation is especially fascinating. I do well to put a mosaic together that stands still, much less one that moves! Lots of interesting detail there, too.

Still lovin' the green spaces and looking forward to seeing more development.

Until next time...
Joan

Very nice Mr Diggis - especially the animation!
I 'm looking forward to see how the port will develop.

[dedgren]

I see a five-star effort here- let's make it official.

Shaun, those videos are are as nicely integrated into your MD as any I've ever seen.

Good luck with Waterford!

Pat:   Thanks for dropping in.  Don't need to watch all the time.

Joan: I'll have a chat with you about the Flash, it's pretty simple. 

Sebes:   Me too, although word in the parthenon is the great god diggis isn't too pleased and has some other plans for the port.

Dedgren:   Wow! Thanks for dropping in.    Now I feel special. (not that the rest of you didn't give me warm fuzzies )

[Pat]

Hey Diggis what about doing a tut on making flash and posting it here    That I might be able to work with, I hope 

[Jmouse]

No no, Pat, I saw him first and besides, he knows what I'm capable of!!

Hey Shaun,

I didn't realise you had an MD.  Just discovered it.  Great pics, great story line and even greater humour.  How can you not want to see more of this MD?

And I echo Joan - I want to create those animations.  Have an idea or two up my sleeve - will have to discuss.

Looking forward to the next update.

Watersford Forks 2

Life has been booming in Watersford Forks since our last visit.  Worshiping the Great God Diggis has
paid dividends. Being the benevolent god he is (except when it comes to sam) he has ensured
bountiful harvest.

As you can see the population is growing fast.



After their large defeat at the hands of Kim Car and the South Lester Cricket team they built their
own ground to practice.  Maybe Meastro and his Forkers will have better luck at the next match.   



Kingston market has become the meeting place for Watersford Forks youths.  The weekly market
hosts all manner of stalls, from henna tattoos and handmade jewellery to fresh veges and baking.
Naroc's stall of fresh baked goods is especially popular with the farmers wives as is Matt B's stall
of products of a more.... ahh... personal nature.   



Speaking of farming and their wives, it's not only their oats that are getting sown.  Growth to the
east has been large, due to the expansion of Port Terrington.



Nexis transport saw an opportunity to move all those crops.  Their station is moving a lot of stock
and are hoping that the port opens soon as they are only dealing in futures.



Lets take a look around some of the other farms in the area.  Here we have Nyara's Berrys.  She
sells a lot of these to Naroc for some of his more exotic recipies.



Paradise Mushrooms is one of the many interests of The Paradise Farmer.  Not exactly sure what he
spreads on them, but eating them sure transports you somewhere.



One of his other farms is Simply Tomatoes, which is a marketing ploy to sell his GM tomatoes. 
Rumor has it he has crossed them with turtles to stop them from getting squashed in transport. 
Unfortunately customers are having trouble cutting them and there has been the odd report of
them running away very slowly.   



Looks like things are going well in the capital of Watersford. We'll have to keep an eye on that farmer
though.  Could be some issues from his GM crops. 

Pat/Joan: I'll try and get a tutorial done up at some point.  No promises at the moment, RL is kicking hard.

Paul: Thanks for dropping in.  I liked your Animation, but can teach you this I think

Bat: Thanks for dropping in.  I've got a few more animations up my sleeve.

Meastro:   Always nice to see a friendly face.  Enjoy the cricket.

Good but the industry are too much near the houses 

[sebes]

bountifull harvests and fruitfull sowing and tomatoes on with turtle speed.. I'm not sure what I like more, the pictures or the comments that go with them.. Anyhow, even if not animated     : great update. Lot of fun being here..

[Diggis]

Simpson: The only industry near housing is the farmland.  This is quite normal in NZ.

Sebes: It takes a lot of time, and imagination to do the animations.  I struggle to find both in any quantity.

[Jmouse]

Excellent overview and lots of farms - I like both! And those are some fine looking market stalls you have there! It was a pleasure to tour the farms and get the lowdown on some of the goings on in Watersford. And what kind of berries did you say those were?!

Later...
Joan

[thundercrack83]

Love your farms, my friend! Sorry it's taken so long for me to comment here, but I'm on board now!

Hehe,

Great update there Shaun.  Great work on the farms and your little one liners are brilliant.  Mushrooms covererd in and tomatoes with thick skins, who'd have thought it!

I'm looking forward to see what you come up with next.
