Gold (a SCS-based CJ)

[Deever 23]

8000 people in a city with skyscrapers...?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!

(Now my brain hurts) quote>

That's not all. The "high capacity" skyscrapers employ a maximum of 40 people! How cool is that!?

[ilikehotdogsalot 311]

That's even cooler than my jellybean mountain!

[ky72x 13]

You really are inspired by a lot of different things, I like that.

Nice shots of your SCS city. I really like the look of those B&W pictures. Too bad there isn't more traffic, though! SC4 has way more traffic. A dream Sim City game for me would have nearly every car ever made in the game. I can't wait to see more!

All I can say is that you made the city look great, love the pics, keep up the great work

[suplado! 23]

wow -- everything looks so real!!

[Twenty20 28]

SCS is a good game, and I appreciate people who make a CJ with it. Excellent pics with beautiful colours.

[Lifetec 1]

Very well done, Keep up the good work!

[Deever 23]

Oh man! Imageshack is acting up again... I guess I'll have to upload my pictures on Photobucket for now. That image hosting site would've been great if it weren't for the freakin' upload limit. Just too bad.

Anyway, on with the update.

Downtown Frack viewed from across town.

Some afternoon pics of the city.

How's the view up there, window cleaner guy?

The textures of this brick building look good for SCS, in my humble opinion. The other buildings could have been a lot better though.

More golden pictures for ya.

... and closing with two more pictures.

Well what do you know, I'm tired of the game already. I guess SCS was really meant for casual players. Don't worry I'm not abandoning this CJ just yet. I still have one more update before I move on to another city. Besides, I do have fun taking the screenshots.

Mike the Mayor: Thank you. It's just my way of getting around SCS's kiddy look.

Patricius Maximus:

I hate to say it, but SCS looks better in the shadows...quote>

Exactly... except maybe for sunsets. Thanks.

nihonkaranws: Yup, that's the theme. Thanks.

estepaflip: Thank you igan!

ilikehotdogsalot: Yes, yes it is

Jill Jacobs: Custom content? None so far. Thanks for the compliment.

porter66083 and Simfan34:

You made SCS look good. That in it's self is a feat of untold proportions!quote>

You bet it is! And to think other people with better PC's can do better still. Thanks guys.

offamychain: That's exactly it. The name fits perfectly. Thanks for dropping by.

Patricius Maximus:

I agree. Although in daylight lighting it looks like it's in flourescent lights.quote>

Exactly, again! That's why I show more of the "golden" pictures when in color and decolorize the really bad daylight ones.

doodlea21: Hard to believe huh? That's corporate desperation for you.

Callbat: That part of London must be very nice then. Thanks.

Wow, maybe I should buy SCS?quote>

Oh quit it!

lucky7: Oh I'm not offended at all. In fact, I find it gratifying to have someone who doesn't really like the game to give positive feedback like that. Thank you very much.

Shingure: Watch as much as you like. Thanks.

RJN: Agreed also (except for the brain hurts part).

MrCinatit:

With the mist from the fountains (I assume), the shadowed figures and the dark look from the rooftop, this actually reminds me a lot of one of the maps from Thief 2.quote>

... which I understand is a game set during a medieval-like era? I can see why. thanks.

ilikehotdogsalot: Are you kidding me? That creation of yours was

[gabry85 2]

Great work, love the photoshopped pix! Nice perspectives!

[ky72x 13]

Man, that first shot looks amazing! It has to be the most realistic SCS pic I've ever seen. Here's a few things that accounted for the sheer awesomeness of it: Its cool angle, the fact that it's in black & white instead of the unrealistic normal colors, and that particular district's distance from downtown Frack.

[s_olah 87]

That bridge looks funny, but the overall look of the city is incredible, makes me wanna buy SCS...Keep up the good work...

[GMT 389]

following this cj, i must say that scs indeed has some potential. visually.

but that doenst even up what the gameplay screws... imho...

but it's great fun to see what you and some other guys actually make out of the game!

some fabulous work!

I'll be back to for more ;-)

[Benedict 3,119]

I've seen a couple of great SCS CJs, yours does compare favorably. Nice selection of images, definitely a fresh approach.

[KamiKaZantA 1]

Golden pictures huh? Reminds me of golden showers...

[crazyarchitect 7]

beautiful downtown pics

[Twenty20 28]

Your last pics are awesome, great work here !

[Patricius Maximus 236]

That green bridge is just about the best thing I've ever seen in SCS. Keep up the good work.

[Deever 23]

Hmmm... I'm not quite contented with the previous update so this will serve as a follow-up. I personally think that these next shots are better but I'll leave that to you to decide.

Window cleaner guy... again. I dunno why it's always that fancy-shmansy Board of Directors building.

Street view of downtown.

Big Brother is watching you...

Another one of those random angle shots.

Last and final picture of Frack.

* TEASER*

Hold on there--there's more. The next update will be focusing on a new town which I named Chedo. Obviously it has an Asian culture thing going.

Enjoy!

gabry85: Thank you!

ky72x: Yeah. That particular angle made wonders for my screenshots. Thanks.

s_olah: Thanks!

GMT: Thank you. What you said about the game is true. I started this CJ for its visual potential, not its gameplay.

Benedict: Well then thanks for visiting this particular SCS CJ.

KamiKaZantA: Golden showers eh... Thanks for visiting anyway.

crazyarchitect: Thank you!

Twenty20: Thanks!

Patricius Maximus: It does look unique from the other bridges. Thanks.

[Benedict 3,119]

Great pictures - really well styled. The 5th one in particular is outstanding - looks like a photograph you might see in an art gallery.

[.soapy 127]

great city! the photoshopping makes all the better

looking forward to the next update, the teaser picture is fantastic!

[Callbat 8]

Ok, now I have to go buy societies,

thanks a lot

[ky72x 13]

B&W - Still my favorite.

Too bad that we all have to leave Frack. But I'm sure the next city will tide us over long enough before you find those darn CD's.

- Kyle

[crazyarchitect 7]

Those were some awesome pics of Frack and Chedo looks like its going to be a masterpiece, great work on these cities

[collgab 10]

Wow, incredible city and pictures, keep it up cant wait for more!!!

[Deever 23]

Well that sure took longer than I expected. Stupid internet company, mumble, mumble... Aheheheanyway, it's update time.

Yeesh. If those CD's won't turn up by the end of the month I'll go get a new copy.

* CHEDO *

I really need to come up with better names... You know what, forget the statistics. I'll just describe the town plain out. Oh and this will be a one-time update for this city because the town is tiny compared to Frack (which was huge).

Chedo is a contemplatively-themed orientally-sided city located in a save folder in My Documents. With it being contemplative and all, you will observe people living in simplicity. Instead of malls and corporate skyscrapers run by materialistic people, these folks have monasteries, temples, and tea houses. Uber advanced technology is unheard of in Chedo with it's people believing that the higher power will provide for all their needs.

Not all townsfolk believe in the same higher power for their salvation and despite this, they still respect each other. You might see houses of worship dedicated to Jesus, the Jewish God, Allah, Buddha, and Tom Cruise, all of which could be found in Chedo.

Let's get on with the pictures.

A typical morning in town.

This tourist was kind enough to provide a photo.

Just peeking through an alleyway.

Signature Chedo temples (I dunno which god they're dedicated to though)

Nightlife.

And to conclude, big resolution pics coming up!

We'll move on to the Orwellian city of Der Iemmoc... Yes, that's its name. If you have trouble pronouncing it, say its name backwards. It's easier.

Benedict: Thanks. Maybe a 50's art gallery.

toki.s: Thank you very much.

Callbat: Oh you are very welcome.

ky72x: Yeah I know. In the meantime, I hope you enjoyed this update. Thanks.

crazyarchitect: Thank you. Here's the masterpiece.

collgab: Thank you!

[JanYpe 17]

Cool update. I really like the picture with the Chedo temples and the colourful building.

[Smarty218 2]

Awesome update, and Happy Birthday!

[Kiwi n Grapes 2]

Wow! Looks like we have a little China Town!

Great work!

[Patricius Maximus 236]

Der Iemmoc = Commie Red. A Stalinist-themed city?

Definetly NOT communist, however.

[Benedict 3,119]

Excellent asian update - you've really showcased it well.
