What a brilliant start! Your pictures look great, I love the Aquarium and the busy tree lined neighbourhood is awesome! The presentation is very pretty.

I look forward to seeing more! Choco.

WOW great update! Can't wait to see more!!! I love the use of the monorail (don't seem to see much of those in CJs; cos they dont occur in real life that often) and the AQUARIUM! The presentation is awsum! Keep up the good work!

    Now, this update may be short, but it was the best I could do in an hour and a half. Nonetheless, here it is!

    This is a continuation of the C19 (left) about a kilometer east from Image U1-6.

    img010sn4.jpg

    A lot of development south of Image U1-6, near the industrial center and the resivoir.

    img011zz8.jpg

    A more in-depth image just west of the image above; this part of town is more developed.

    img012kh8.jpg

    New zones laid out northwest of the power plant (bottom). New apartment complexes and conominiums will be built on this area later on.

    img013si6.jpg

    And the last image is a funny one - it looks self-explanitory.


    Thank you for visiting Fort Folley! Come back again soon for the third update!

    Sorry guys, but I couldn't squeeze in an update yesterday. I can tomorrow though - I'll show you what I have planned:

    img014ttz6.jpg

    Just a teaser, this isn't a real update...

    Nice, no? I'll be putting photos like it in the next update. And I didn't forget your comments, I will get to them around update time.

    Thanks!

    Wow, cool! I really like that. BUt suburbs in the US dont usually have canals, or ponds that big... Well, that looks nice! This is looking like a good city already.

    I guess nine days isn't exactly tomorrow... 31.gif


    commentrespondpostu2cj7.jpg

    I did get to your replies, though. Sorry it took so long; I shouldn't have put it off!

    @All: Again, if I don't get to you directly, don't think I didn't see yours. I did. Thanks for commenting, I hope to see you back here at the end of this update!

    @Nardo69: I have actually made two backups (count the Iomega CDs, TWO) of Fort Folley and (!) the PSDs I use for the update banner and comment banners. It will not happen again! 28.gif44.gif

    @chocolatemax285: Hey, it's cool to see you here (wow, that sure sounded American [and yes, I am]). I really like what you've done to Green Depra, so pleeeease don't make it end! 8.gif

    @SC4Noobie: Where I come from, suburbs can have lots of things. 2.gif


    And now, on to the update! 48.gif

    fortfolleyu3bee7.jpg

    It will change eventually...    ...eventually...

    img015tg3.jpg

    A nighttime pic of some of the houses around the larger businuess district.

    img016ql6.jpg

    More of Image U3-1, as you can see, but up further north.

    img017kq7.jpg

    This one's during the day: it's part of the Industrial district, west of the power plant, on the FFRR (Fort Follley Railroad).

    img018ew7.jpg

    A very nice shot (and random, IMO) of some of the houses near the river.

    img019do1.jpg

    To the west of Image U3-4. It's more of the same neigborhood, really.

    img020jj3.jpg

    A picture-perfect shot of some office suites right along the monorail network, and a well placed station as well.

    img021qc2.jpg

    To close out the update, here's just a little something I whipped up in the LE + SC4Tool. I used morifari's enbankment station, designed more for EL-rail, and not monorail. I fixed that using some "spare props" in the LE and transit enabling the station for monorail in SC4Tool. About ten minutes of work.


    Thanks for visiting Fort Folley, come back soon!

    EDIT: OMG! This update is posted at exactly the same time as the last one! 46.gif3.gifquote>

    Looks very nice, I love the use of embankments, and the residential shots are great.

    Hey people!

    Thanks all for commenting. I will be on vacation this weekend (Internet access but this is the wrong computer) so I won't be able to update, except for maybe late Monday. I didn't bring my computer because it isn't exactly portable (20 lb. desktop computer).

    Not really much to reply to today, but I think that banner looks damn good... 35.gif

    I will probably update tomorrow or Saturday for you, so keep an eye on this page for Update 4!


    @All: Remember: I still recognize your comments even if I didn't get back to you. It would be kind of lame (and repetitive) to keep saying, "Thanks for replying," or something along those lines.

    @UnkleS27: Yes, some CJs are a little "overgrown" with green. They do look nice, though, IMO. 2.gif

    @Goin2Chicago: Nice, huh? That building is in-game. It's probably Stage 6-8, when all of the skyscrapers start popping up. You have to be patient. 2.gif


    All right, see you in 24-48 hours! 3.gif

    EDIT: Oh no, everything turned bold-faced! I can fix that...quote>
