Astronelson's SCURK Projects

[astronelson 339]

Way back when, in the last millennium, there was a city simulator by the name of SimCity 2000. It was a fun game, and chewed up a lot of my time. But technology progressed and eventually the computer I owned was incompatible with it. The game loads, but trying to load or save a city causes the program to crash.

 

Until now.

 

Recently I obtained a computer that runs Windows XP, and thus can run SimCity 2000 natively. And not only the game, but a tool that came with the game known as "SCURK" - the Sim City Urban Renewal Kit.

 

SCURK was the BAT of its day. In it you could design your own buildings, create a new tileset with those buildings in it, and use it in your city. You could even design your own cities in a sandbox, plopping everything wherever you wanted it without a care for cost or indeed whether such a setup would work properly in-game.

 

I have decided to learn how to use this tool, and produce new tilesets for anyone interested. Phase 1 is to gauge interest. If you have any requests for a tileset and suggestions for buildings (and what that building should replace), feel free to suggest them here. I'll do my best to make them.

 

The first tileset I will make shall be Australiana.
