Jen's random cities....

[thundercrack83]

Well, I don't think your region looks "messy," I think it looks great! I can't wait to see how you develop it further. Great job!

I like this. the only criticism i have is SG's suburban houses among all the apartment buildings. I've experienced the same problem myself as they grow in medium density zones, and not low density zones which is kinda annoying.

Jen- Having grown up among the very "griddy" cities of the US midwest, I can relate to yours.  I don't see messy, either.  I see "path of growth."

great work

Hey Jen,

Love your building almost as much as your work.  Thanks for sharing it all with us.

The region looks great to me.  And I have the same problem.  I have these grandiose ideas at the start and than it slowly dies off and I have to start something new.  Anyways, your well on your way and I can't wait to see what's next.

And I have the same problem.  I have these grandiose ideas at the start and than it slowly dies off and I have to start something new.

I've gone off on a bit of a tangent again (I'll come back to Summerhayes later) and started a British-style region using an exaggerated UK map found many moons ago on the STEX. I haven't built anything yet (have to organise my plugins folder for it) but I can give you some nature shots:

Hooo ! Awesome map ! Great Job Jen_p ! I hope to see more soon !

[Zaphod]

thats a strange looking map

you've made it nice looking though

[threestooges]

It looks like a good start (though building on the northern side may prove to be interesting). I am curious though... in the close up of that stream... it doesn't seem to be the same as the other water. Is this a re-textured plop water I haven't seen or what? Either way it looks good, and I'm sure will continue to improve once you organize your plugins.

[meinhosen]

You're right, that's an exaggerated map you're working with... but from the looks of things, it sure ought to be a lot of fun to start building on and developing.

Those are some fantastic screenshots of the pristine terrain.  Looks great!

[thundercrack83]

That UK map looks pretty good! I love the ploppable water you've done. I can't wait to see how you develop it!

Wonderful region and great island!

[emilin]

That looks so disturbing and still wonderful at the same time.

This is an interesting and challenging map of GB. Looking forward to the goodies that will show us hereafter 

[Naryanna]

Hi! Lovely map you have there! And interesting cj. 

[Badsim]

I join my voice to the concert ; surprising map & landscape ... so original .

[Cali]

the map is really beautiful, the design is very realistic, and the color is great, cant wait to see more of this

[mattb325]

Great map - playing on this will be a challenge - but I'm always amazed at how each of your cities has such a different feel from the previous one, so I'll be keen to see where you take this.

hello jen. 1st time to drop by. if you call not being able to follow through on ideas for regions or cities is a problem,  i think i have the same "problem" as you do.  as for developing, however, you are worlds ahead of i am. i cant even get to stick to a theme!  you are a magician with the developing you do. i hope you overcome this "problem." will be waiting for your next update. "scotland" seems to be daunting.
