Heya guys! I'm sorry for the lack of updates recently but I've been busy with RL and free time has been scarce. I started building a new city tile a couple of weeks ago but at the moment it's on hold, I started another one this week and it, fortunately, has been developing well. There's a small preview of it below But first are the

Update 67 - NYC in the early XX century

As you'd have already guessed after seeing the teaser on this page, I'm trying to recreate NYC while still trying to make it look as realistic as possible (this means streets such as Broadway can't be fully recreated since it's mostly diagonal). At the moment we're in the late 10s - early 20s of the XX century. As time progresses, more modern buildings and structures will appear That should be enough as an introduction, let's go on with pictures
So, here's the NYC Downtown. Near the top you can see the Trinity church. At the left is the Woolworth building (built in 1913) and near the bottom is the City Hall. The bit of a steep road at the right is the approach to the Brooklyn bridge.

Night view of Manhattan skyscrapers. A part of the City Hall can be seen at the top left.

It's midnight and the city is sleeping...

That's all for now, I hope you enjoyed it. Thank you for viewing and commenting!

Really great stuff Ioan. I for one am blown away!

[Simcitler]

Keep on doing such great stuff!

I never modify my images, but I must try this black and white effect.
Very nice and very dense city.

[ivo_su]

Looks so realistic. Like I've really got to New York in 1928. To be honest it would have been  nice if he made the city the way the 2000 year. But in the reconstruction  of the  past has received  incredible. Necessarily make OWR-4 and ORW-5.
