Aaaah the aliens who built the pyramids are coming........No wait that was a film

Nice update keep up the good work and awesome photoshopping

[BlondeTwiggy 43]

Thank you for fixing that rail bridge.quote>

You're welcome. 

Oh yay, Merak.  I like the little church and I think I shall go shopping at the shopping centre.  Ferries, redundant?  Pfft.  I'm thinking those relics have something to do with an ancient race called the Motlians, who built huge secret messages with rocks only to be seen from satellite tran... Nevermind.

jacqulina  Hey, thanks for your comment

Archean  Hmm, we shall see...

TmiguelT  Thanks for stopping by!

Victor Valdes  I do not know, but I have a few guesses...

ky72x  Haha, yes, they are very different...

nottheboss  Thank you for the comment.

I fixed the offending bridge...

[ky72x 13]

Hot tubs are indeed hot over there. Nice blend of colors all around, I don't think there's one major color that's left out. Porkissimo's police station sure fits in well with those maxis commercials.

Wow. Wonderful region. I love the name too. i can't say it though! You know, I love your marina/pier/harbor thing going on there. Keep up the good work. I'll definitely follow this one. I wish I could play Sim City again and do this CJ thing again. Great work!

[Mayor of Tempest Lake 34]

Thank you very much Kyle.

Thank you for the comments Petrovar Ambassador.

Thank you mayorron.

Actually, BT and I have an idea about making an interactive CJ where your decision will influence a story that will be cowritten by us. Basically, each turn you will state your next move to your options (You read the story and you "want to drive the car away" and message us by PM) We take your input, and integrate it into the next round of updates.

Currently, out plot will be a suspense story, involving something being stolen from the airport. The story will take place all over the region and will be updated weekly.

[Follarch 326]

O_O Did someone say "CJ" and "story"???

I'm all over this. I LOVE stories. Oh and that town looks actually real amazing! Great work Twiggy!

[jacqulina 162]

excellent work beautifull city my friend

[mayorron 0]

I'm looking forward to these stories. I might contribute once I get the hang of the idea.

[PhilsCafe 8]

Lovely update I like the suburbs, pretty houses... and the rail bridge is ok xD.

[Mayor of Tempest Lake 34]

jacqulina: Thank you for your support.

Philscafe: Very nice bridge indeed .

mayorron: Thank you ron, update coming soon.

Archean: We won't disappoint.

MERAK

(Click to view the full size photo)

This little town was founded at least 100 years ago by Sir Francis Merak. His crew were in a search for new lands and after a landing, he made this site his new base of operation, after he discovered an abundance of resources around the area.

PART 2: Rural stuff

Yes, the farming club just outside of Merak grows experimental grain for testing and experiments every year. Different combinations of fertilizers and pesticides are tested to ensure the perfect balance between toxicity and the overall well being of different crops. This year, the farm is testing the effects of pumpkin seeds on corn.

The treefarm of Merak is every Christmas fanatic's favorite place. The farm grows different variety of spruce, pine, and cedar for that perfect tree that you always wanted for a reasonable price.

The ranch at Merak produces local brand of dairy products. A local delicacy, the Merak milk is one of the finest products on the northern shores of the Zärin.

DISCOVERY

Our thermal imagery has determined the weird relics of the ancients, and we believe we have an answer to the thousand year old mystery at last...

[Aro0w 1]

whoa, those farm pictures are great!

[mayorron 0]

I'm loving the history of Merak and the new Discovery. Great farm pictures. Keep it up because I can't think of one thing not to like. I like this whole CJ.

[Follarch 326]

Is that a dollar sign? So the relics are going to make you rich. Sweet!

And I like how you're putting depth into your farms, not visually but factually.

[beebs 129]

Looking very nice, Twiggy and MoTL! The farmland looks stellar

[Keegan V50 15]

Okay good! Haha That's a great teaser picture once again. I actually bookmarked this CJ believe it or not people! I bookmark CJs!

[Mayor of Tempest Lake 34]

Thank you very much Mayorron, and welcome back.

Hello there, Swat, nice to see you around. Very nice indeed.

Welcome back, BTeeeeee...

I have decided to increase all the picture's resolutions. All pictures are click enabled for the full size photos.

Polaris:

Dockside Drive / Northern Road -- This is where all the parties and getting drunk are happening.

The main ferry terminal -- it is the central business district of the city and boy does interesting stuff happens there.

South pier holds the important security functions of the Polaris Dock and boardwalk. Also the really nice restaurant boat docks here.

Alternate version

A different angle of downtown.

Alternate version

A different perspective of the Dockwalk and where the shops meets the south marina.
