I really like that you've filled in those empty spaces with the ploppable flora.   ;D

After a long period of instability and to be honest I was quite nervous when I was having technical issues a while back, I have finally gotten my new region for the Queenstown Redeux up.

With this I must thank dobdriver for all his help and patience over the past couple of days. He helped me to get mapper running on my machine smoothly, and should be able to for anyone with vista.  ;) Thanks dob!






Here's the map I'll be developing Queenstown on. I'll be using a lot of real-life influences while working on this region, and as usual probably won't be showing you any work-in-progress pictures, unless I decide to show you all how I do something (or if you guys ask, of course ;)). I will probably be naming most everything from the beginning now and will be working around my influences to create the look I want.




In a nutshell, Queenstown is back and better than ever! Expect updates soon!  :)

Please tell me guys what you think of this new take, your comments mean the world to me!

You have chosen a very nice region with interesting geographical features. Nice hills for some cool rural development and enough flat land to build a city on. I can see lots of potential.
Naming everything will be challenging but I like it.

I think this will be great.  :thumbsup:

Wooww Ethan, fantastic region!!! I'm sure that we'll see amazing updates, here in your MD, my friend!!!

Well, here we go again. I have a small teaser for you all today. Nothing really special, been working on the centre of one of the region's main cities, Groenfontein.  :)

This region is mainly inspired by South Africa and Australia, and Groenfontein is roughly based off of the city of Bloemfontein. I'm lookig for some more W2W that doen't look necessarily European, and rather poor-looking, if not regular. I don't want to use, say Parisian buildings here though, as that wouldn't be realistic at all. I'm using a few Dutch buildings, as the Dutch had a presence in South Africa, however most of the lovely Dutch buildings are growable only, and I haven't been able to find props for these buildings in the LE yet...  &mmm . If you guys have any suggestions on W2W, I'd love to hear it !

Wow, great teaser my friend!!! The vacant lots were given a wonderful treatment, with a representation of grass very interesting!!! Fantastic city!!!  :thumbsup:

Thank you for your kind reply, Tomas ! I'm glad you like the scrub that covers most of this city. Your replies always make me smile, my friend ! :)

That map looks like a gift to work on, im sure you are going to turn it into something really special! Cant wait to see what you have in store for us.

Tomas Neto

What a nice map there, Ethan ! I'm sure you will build an even best region than you already have ! Also nice work with that very last picture, that Parisian W2W looks great in that place.

Take care,

Well, now that time has come around again; an update ! I've been working hard at the downtown of Groenfontein, the city that I'll be showcasing first in the redeux. I have been able to solve most of the W2W situation, however I would still love suggestions !  :)

So here is an update of Groenfontein's downtown, at night !









I hope you guys like this update, and please post !  :)

I dont know what it is about that last shot that just really appeals to me :)

Another great collection of shots, and I am sure I am speaking for everyone when I say we are looking forward to seeing you develop that new map :)
