Bandian Island

[lifeless08 1]

6n the past I have been very busy, and losing the plot of my CJ Luidiwa, so i decided to completely restart.

Welcome to Bandian Island

Where is Bandian Island?: In the Kratwatten Islands

When was Bandian Island founded?: 1997

What year is it now: 2001

After the founding of the Island, it was considered to be a good island in which to live on. And was put forward as a place of developers interest, in the end, building was aloud and the first village was going to start any time soon.

Now for some pictures;

The Sky View of the Island

The Large Beaches of the Island

UPDATE #1

The Village Planers thought that the name of the Island wasnt a very appealing one, and was changed to Bandian Island. The Village Planners have started to build up the village, over 2 years, the main central village has been built, and large amounts of more construction is expected, to get ready for this, they have already started to build roads for the future buildings.

The village hub (yes i need more custom content, i am going try and find some today)

Just a short update, Update 2 Later on

UPDATE #2!

Four Years down the line, the commercial and public services area expanded, and so did the residential areas did. The the lovely beaches were also opened up to tourists and locals, bringing in lots of money, and theres also a new hotel too!

Some pics...

The village.... as u can see its expanded a bit

The beach... a brand new thing to the island, bringing in lots of money to expand the town

Update 3 is going to be a larger one than those of which have been already, so keep watching

Ok... wat am i doing wrong?? No one replies to my CJ (it does look crap...), maybe i need to improve it in some way... but how...

[De Ja Vu 117]

Hey, first time visiting your CJ and I don't think it's "crap". You're off to a very nice start, you just have to be patient...most people just view CJ's and don't comment...what I think is wrong.

Keep working on this city and I'm sure you'll get replies.

As for custom content: I suggest you download a terrain mod...You can find that on the STEX - just search for terrain mod or something... Also download some custom trees (Cycledogg has great ones). Ohh and of course: the NAM, if you don't already have it. If you want custom buildings, I suggest you find something from SimGoober, pegasus and other great BAT-ers, here on the STEX.

Anyway good luck with update 3, Bandian Island looks great!

Cheers!

Nice start, beautiful island, I like making islands too. Your little city looks very nice, kinda classic style, keep up this good work !

Can't see the pics! They need to be . jpeg format so IE users can view your CJ. I'll repost once I can see the pics.

[fabsies55 5]

dude its not crap i seriously have the same problem if you don't believe me check out my cj on page 2 there's like 5 updates all with less than a reply in between its hard to get people going but when you do they don't stop.

but its not bad, its not the worst i've seen but it could be better layout isn't all that bad the only 1 thing i have to really say is that building shouldn't be there unless there is others smaller around it. and maybe expand your housing area before getting a city to make it more realistic, but its cool.

The images are not displaying as I am using IE7. Apparently the in-game .png pics have trouble in IE7. You may want to convert them first to .jpg format so they will show. There are free converter programs available on the net, that's what I use. This may get more responses since many people are not able to see your pics.

Oh thanks, i forgot to change the to jpegs, ill get to that right now

Problem now fixed!

[lifeless08 1]

UPDATE #3

After getting lots of mods ive tried to imrove the image of my village, heres some pictures....

Please tell me if you like it better than the original and ill continue on! (with some new ideas)

[De Ja Vu 117]

Now this is much much better! Those pine trees fit well with the surroundings. You have a very nice community there!

PS: get rid of the pine trees on the beach It just doesn't look natural lol

[Evillions 552]

Great Cj. It has improved by alot than the first one! May I recommend some form the LEX? You can download/obtain great village like BATs that can fit in your village(s).

[lifeless08 1]

Yes those trees on the beach were not meant to be there, but I sort of went a bit close with the tree tool .

EDIT: Ok ive been searching on the LEX alot, got some houses, will be getting some more (by the way i record my dependcies so i dont keep on downloading the same ones and i have 52 so far.. and some i might of forgotten to record, so its going well!)
