Very nice! Especially the using of mave!

[emgmod]

I see you're using the NWM well. Impressive parks too.

[io_bg]

Some great work! I particularly like the park with the angled paths. It really brakes the grid. The amusement park looks a bit empty, though
Looking forward to the next update!

Looking great Zack! I love those parks! Everything about them is awesome!

Raphael (RickD): Thank you very much! I've really enjoyed adding the new NWM networks and other NAM features to my cities.
Dave (superhands): Nice to see you here in the MD section! Thanks for your kind words, and yes, I suppose there is a bit of foreshadowing in the last update. You'll see soon!
Dryan (976): Thank you, my friend!
Daniel (emgmod): I'm glad you like what I've done with the NWM. Thanks for your compliments on that and my parks!
Ioan (io_bg): Thank you, Ioan! Those grid-breaking paths are, in fact, made with my first set of overlay textures, which I've been meaning to expand and release under the UCC brand. As for Thrillsbury Park, I think it's an unfortunate side-effect of the walkways being pedmalls and therefore having only small crowd effects on them. I wish there was something I could do about it...
Jordan (canyonjumper): Thanks a lot, Jordan!
planetechef: I'm glad you like the parks, my friend! Thanks for stopping by!

I apologize for not getting this special out yesterday; it was a busy day for me, and I just didn't have enough time to spare for answering all my replies. But now that I'm not so busy, I have a chance to show you a little scene from Midtown!



And while I'm at it, I might as well tease you all with a preview of my newest project - Astoria, another major metropolis in the same region as Nyhaven. Here's Pacifica State University, Astoria in its current state:



See you again soon!

Heyhey, I'm still doing a visit every while here. Shame my copy of this game won't work on windows 7.
I love that park you showed on page 26. It's great.

[Tomas Neto]

Great update, really awesome work!!! 

[rooker1]

 I know that when I visit the Classic section your MD is always a must see one and it is no surprise to me or anyone else for that matter that we'll be spending this month with you in OSITM!



Congratulations from The SC4D Staff and myself!

Congrats on OSITM Zack! It's very well deserved!

Glowbal: Thanks for stopping by, my friend! I'm sorry your copy of SC4 isn't working, but hopefully you'll get it sorted out soon, thanks to all the help that's available here.
Tomas Neto (x2): Thank you for both your comments!
Robin (rooker1): I'm so thankful to be OSITM again! Thank you, and the rest of the staff, so much for bringing me back here!
Ethan (ecoba): Thanks, Ethan!
Dryan (976): Thank you!
Jordan (canyonjumper): Thanks!

Well, it's a real honor to be brought back to OSITM for this month! I was busy with school for the first half of my first month here, but that's not the case this time around, so you'll get to see plenty more of Nyhaven (and other cities as well) this month. I'm going to try to post a new picture from one of my cities every two or three days through the end of June, except when I post a new update. Speaking of updates, it's time for a new one today! Let's jump right into it, shall we?



After the reunion, it seemed that I was spending more and more of my free time with Jane. We saw each other several evenings a week, as well as most weekends.


One of our favorite places to go was Thrillsbury Park. We never got tired of playing the games at the arcade or going on the rides, even though there weren't many of them.


It was most fun, however, to ride the rollercoasters in the evening. Watching the sun set behind the skyscrapers of downtown and into the river was always a special moment for us.


We also did our part to support Nyhaven's professional sports teams. Going over to Rittenberg Field was one of our favorite things to do after work during baseball season.


Once, we attended a particularly heated game between the Nyhaven Regals and the Astoria Pilgrims that lasted 12 innings. It was a sweet victory when the Regals finally scored the game-winning run, and we were thrilled to enjoy that triumph together.


Things changed between us at work, too. We lingered longer at the water cooler, took lunch breaks together, and Jane even moved her office closer to mine.


Midtown became an even more enjoyable place to live, as we visited the local eateries and saw shows at the theaters. There was always something good onstage at the Sullivan Theater, down at Eighth Avenue and 25th Street.


As our love grew, our dates became simpler and, if you can believe it, even more frequent. Sometimes, instead of heading straight home after work, we would enjoy a simple stroll along the downtown waterfront together.


As day turned to night, our gaze turned back toward the city, as downtown became ablaze with its thousands of lights. It felt as if the city was on fire - though the fire was really in our hearts.


Eventually, I knew the time had come to take our relationship to the next level. In April of 1974, I placed some special reservations at the restaurant on the observation levels of the South Point Observation Tower, a joint project of ours which had recently opened to the public. When evening came, I stopped by early to make sure everything would be perfect when we came for dinner. This was going to be a night to remember!


Later, as dinner was ending, I signaled to the maitre d' that it was time for my plan to be put into action. Our waiter came back with two glasses of champagne - one, with a ring in it. When Jane fished it out of her glass, I popped the question, and she accepted. How wonderful!

Nice work, Zack, and congratulations on the well-deserved OSITM.  I really like the night shots, and the diagonal area is interesting as well.

[nedalezz]

Great update...I see we are going to have a marriage on our hands! Midtown looks great, my favorite picture of the update was the waterfront at night. Spectacular!

[GreekMan]

Congrads!

[threestooges]

Nice images and a good story to compliment them. Congratulations to the happy couple there. Your progression of day, night and transition shots gives the feel of the passing of days within the accompanying story. Nice touch. The recent shot of Pacifica University looks pretty good too, except for that little undeveloped patch near the bottom there. I like the light rail access to the University, and the campus looks like a good place for an afternoon stroll between classes. Nice work, and congratulations on another round of OSITM. Looking forward to seeing what you have up your sleeve.
