Jacqulina You deserved the vote for being so friendly to everyone, and thanks for your many comments!  I bet you have seen a lot of CJs, I think you are probably the best expert on CJs in Simtropolis!

SYM Productions Thanks my friend!  I appreciate all of your gracious comments very much!  I

I didn't comment before, but I really must say that your in-depth look at the government of Green Depra was fascinating. You've really put a lot of time and thought into this CJ, and it really shows. Definitely one of my top 5 favorite journals in all of Simtropolis.

Bravo, as always!

Wow massive Personal Comments Update! 

 

And no, I wouldn't be surprised if you told me how much work went into that update... it shows!    A LOT!  You had to build Darmok hill, Lot Edit all your government buildings to get the flags, right up all that text, draw all those pictures (party logos and other stuff)... the level of detail is amazing!

 

OMG I REALLY want to see that paper though...

The detail is amazing.  The mosaics are breath taking.  The depth and scope of the story are seemingly boundless.  If I did not know better I would swear you were just recording the true history of a real city in a far away land.  your CJ is an inspiration to us all.  thank you.

[pipishere 3]

Congratulations on twenty pages! Looking forward to your next update

[MrVegetable 2]

I love this Choccie! One of the best Cj's ever created!!! Being rather socialist myself I feel that the government will do a good job, especially since they go for protecting the environment and provide ewuality for all!

[sharkbait16 0]

I've never seen a CJ better personify a single color.  Everything in Depra is definately all about the green.  The buildings are timeless too, beautifully done!

Update 26

 

Hello everyone, this update is a more traditional, visual one.  Less storyline, more pictures!

 

Today we will be looking at a newer area of Wilminkton, my personal favorite town in GD.

 

Times have been changing, and even the quaintest of towns like Wilminkton have been growing, as mroe and more people wish to live by the sea.  So a new area has been constructed in Wilminkton to accomindate, the holiday houses and new residents moving in.  The area was built around a natural canal, and at one point the cliffs were believed to be unstable, they were propped up with some concrete embankments.

 

The favorite place for locals to grab a bite to eat, to shop or simply to stroll by the friendly people is the Nardo Plaza.  It is a small area filled with shops and excited people.

Those red brick street lots are my first attempt at transit enabling, the SC4tool is amazing!

 

The new area has also been a booming spot for two story houses, and of course many trees.

A large and rich estate, overlooking the river.  It produces small quantities of wine each year, which are sold for very high prices.

More to the East of Wilminkton, there are many more farms being created by locals who want a piece of the economy boom.

The farms receave a bountiful crop, which is exported to Gold Depra for a high price, as Green Depra produce is very highly regarded.  This allows for the Lords Senate to spend thousands on beautiful, high quality roads and facilities for their farmers.

Well, I know it wasn't much but I hope you all enjoyed this update.  Expect more visual updates along with more storyline updates.  I really want to keep the balance, and keep updates rolling out.

 

Its christmans eve here, so I'm going to go set up our house for when our relatives come.  I'm not sure when the next update will be, because I might be going away.  Thanks for reading everyone, and if you read this then please leave a comment!

 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM GREEN DEPRA!

Very nice update. You did a good job on those red bricks.

The residental area looks nice and quiet. Just as the agricultural zone + estate.

[Nardo69 51]

Great rural update my friend! Good use of the trees along the street and I do like the street along the river. Even though I love all those embankment such a nicely fromed untouched riverside is something beautiful, too ...

Merry Christmas my Friend!

[sharkbait16 0]

That red brick texture works well with all the green and is very fitting for the Christmas season!

[cityhawk 12]

Great use of techniques to blend farms with commercial and residential areas, and I also like the canal, the embankments, ... EVERYTHING! Look forward to future updates, Choco!'); height=15 alt=Insert smilie src=https://community.simtropolis.com/assets/emoticons/19.gif width=15 border=0>
