Zero7 - BAT studio

[jayo]

As a variant though  I don't think it would be very british though 

[zero7]

The K2 distribution centre will get finished over the course of this week, so I'm looking to decide what to do next.

As rp2005, I once invited people to choose the category RCI etc for my next BAT, which resulted in me making Ardnox Secondary School which is one of my most popular BATs.

So this time I'm going to do something similar ... choose a time, game category and lot style for me:

1.  Time :  Pre-20th Century, 20th Century, Contemporary

2.  Category :  Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Transport, Civic/Religious

3.  Lot style:  Orthogonal, Orthogonal corner, Diagonal, Diagonal corner


The choice is yours - voting closes 22:00 GMT this Friday.

Great work and when will the small houses and brighton terraces get realesed 

The small houses are finished, but they're growables that haven't grown yet (my latest region hasn't had much development - one of the reasons I decided to do the diagonals - they're ploppable).  The Brighton terraces are waiting for variants - I lost interest in them I'm afraid.

3.  Lot style:Diagonal, Diagonal corner, please

This is the type of survey I like:

1.  Time :  Pre-20th Century, 20th Century, Contemporary

2.  Category :  Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Transport, Civic/Religious

3.  Lot style:  Orthogonal, Orthogonal corner, Diagonal, Diagonal corner

"Diagonal"...You really are a bunch of sadists, aren't you?   

I'd like to see something 20th Century, Commercial (retail preferably) Orthagonal

[BarbyW]

[DFire870]

Ooh, nice, a survey!

1.  Time :  Pre-20th Century, 20th Century, Contemporary

2.  Category :  Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Transport, Civic/Religious

3.  Lot style:  Orthogonal, Orthogonal corner, Diagonal, Diagonal corner

[RippleJet]

I wonder if any of the alternatives would end up getting a majority of the votes...
However, there is a real need for larger (mid-rise) CS§ buildings for the CAM. Thus:

1.  Time :  Pre-20th Century, 20th Century, Contemporary

2.  Category :  Residential, Commercial (Low Budget Hotel), Industrial, Transport, Civic/Religious

3.  Lot style:  Orthogonal, Orthogonal corner, Diagonal, Diagonal corner

[BigSlark]

I have to agree with BarbyW and callagrafx.

[zero7]

OK, voting is now closed - thanks to everyone who took part.   

And the results are:

1.  Time :  Pre-20th Century  (3), 20th Century (5), Contemporary  (2)

2.  Category :  Residential (1), Commercial (8), Industrial, Transport, Civic(2)/Religious

3.  Lot style:  Orthogonal (5), Orthogonal corner (1), Diagonal (0), Diagonal corner (4)

Unfortunately metasmurf's vote had to be disgarded because there was no time or category


So, commercial won by a landslide and 20th Century just sneaked ahead of pre-20th Century.  After taking an early lead the diagonals lost out to orthagonal.

I was expecting to end up with something way out of my comfort zone like diagonal transport, but I've been given 20th Century, Commercial and orthagonal with mentions of retail and downmarket hotels.

An orthagonal lot means I'll be making it a growable.

Watch this space!!

I sure will keep coming back to this topic. Very nice to include the audience in the creative process and the people obviously has spoken. Any self-respecting government would of course ignore such a vote and do whatever it was going to do anyway 

[jayo]

yey........... Can't wait too see more

[bother_me]

Too bad I wasn't here to vote in time  we surely need more diagonal buildings! Too bad the americans can't understand that  Good that you're making w2w though!

(Again, if I could vote, I would vote for 20th century (1895-1910). Commercial and diagonal corner)

Good work

Good work 

I agree with you about the need for more diagonals and I'm sure to make some more.  Hopefully, prepo's will finally be released by BSC before too long.  I would guess that with Porkie diagonals being in the works they'll want to release them all together along with filler lots, rewards, MML menus and other stuff ... it's the BSC way 

What we need is a mod that will only allow growables to appear on unoccupied zones (no replacement) - then we could put all the diagonals into a tileset and make them growable.

E2A:  Actually, you might be able to do that - if you made the cost of redevelopment so high that it never happened it would be like having everything automatically historical - you'd have to demolish a building for something else to grow in its place.

Still to do:

A few bits of extra detailing on the building
Exterior lighting
A release version of the lot
