    utora: Thanks for the compliments. I'd consider terraforming one of my strong points, and I'm really glad you like it. One thing I noticed with terraforming is that usually, terraformers will try to stuff too much into too little of a space. On Ocean Point, I tried to spread everything out well, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome.

    BTW, good luck on your next CJ!

    To All: The Ocean Point preview update should come today.

    King: Thanks for the compliments.

    DA: Thanks for the compliments also.

    To All: The update should come by 11:00 PM, ST time. It won't be huge, since it's a preview update, but I think it will be pretty good. 10.gif

    Sorry for the double post. I'm just going to say that the update should come tonight. I can almost guarantee that it will come tonight. The updates have been pushed back about a week already, so I'm going to try to get back on track here.

    Tonight's update will be the Ocean Point preview update.

    Alright, I will announce that the update will come out tonight. Sorry for the triple post! I need to get past the 666th post (This one), so somebody reply (No, this is not an attempt to get more replies)! 3.gif The update is not ready yet, and plus, I didn't want to post it on the 666th reply. So, if someone can, post here before midnight (When my update should be out by). Thanks.

    Y_A_H: Thanks. I'm really glad you posted. Dang good-for-nothing superstitions, in reality 666 probably isn't worse than any other number, but this CJ still needed to pass it. 10.gif

    To All: The preview update is finally here! After a delay of what, four or five, maybe six days, it has finally come. It only has three pictures, but I haven't had that much time to update this CJ because I've been very busy recently. Don't worry, brisk updates should begin soon enough.

    _____________________________________________________________________________________________


    Here are some new additions/nicer looking areas from around Ocean Point.

    The first addition I will show is the Cruise Ship Port. The Cruise Ship Port is located on the western beach of the island, on the east shores of Marshland Bay, near the point where it joins with the Pinewood River and goes into the ocean via the inlet. Cruise ships come and go regularly from the port, and this port has boosted the economy of Ocean Point.

    On the mainland, south of the Pinewood River along the choppy and dangerous waters of the inlet, a new commercial district has sprung up. This is just east of the city's largest high-tech industrial area, along with Route 99, making it a prime area for commercial development.

    Here's an area on the island, in the northern part of the Turnpike District. I-268 runs through this area, and residential and commercial developments are located in this area as well.

    dhoppeii: Thanks for the compliments. I'm glad you like the trees. In real life though, they'd probably be gone because of the inlet coming up at high tide, but I may put in seawalls or something to channel the inlet through there.

    Mikeaut: Thanks for the compliments. Remember that it was your idea to have more trees in this region, so I credit you with that. And thanks for the congrats on the member label, I couldn't be happier with it.

    To All: Part One of the Ocean Point update will come tomorrow or Sunday. It will be on a specific part of the city. It won't tell which area it is right now, but it's going to be good. 10.gif

    No comments?

    Anyways, I'll announce the next update now. It will be Part One of the major Ocean Point update series. The series will have four parts and will probably go through all of next week. Part One will feature downtown Ocean Point, a place in the city that just about everyone likes. It should come out sometime later today.

    jacqulina: Thanks for the compliments.

    pekeboo: Thanks for the compliments. Glad you like the table of contents, although I give TJD the credit for that from his Edmonton CJ.

    ILL Tonkso: Thanks. Those trees really do work well, I'd recommend them to anybody. It was originally Mikeaut's suggestion to have more trees like that.

    To All: I'm not sure if the update will come today or tomorrow, but it should be a great one. It will cover Ocean Point's downtown, and will be the first update in a three or four part major Ocean Point update series. This is the update series that I have been talking about that would come after the Interstate Highways update series.

    King: Thanks for the compliments and the bunnies. The bunnies are becoming rare here, so it's great to see them back, and in my own CJ. 3.gif

    Y_A_H: Thanks for the compliments. Compared to the preview update, the Ocean Point downtown one should be great.

    RHF: Thanks.

    utora: Thanks also. I think I've taken too much time on this update though, it's been pushed back more than a week now! 3.gif

    To All: The Ocean Point downtown update should definately come today. There may be an update tomorrow, because my map uploading day got switched to Tuesday. A very preliminary plan is to have an update today, tomorrow, Wednesday, and one on Thursday/Friday. I may have to break the Ocean Point update (Which will take up the whole week or more possibly) into smaller parts if I want to update more frequently.

    To All: The Ocean Point downtown update should come by late this evening at the very latest. It will be a really good update, I can say that much. 3.gif

    I agree with everyone else I like all the trees, and the water mod looks so realistic and goes so well with your region. I also like all the little houses.

    You are making this look really realistic.  The bay parts are the best looking i think.  Also you planted many trees.  That just improves to the realistic parts of the city.

    DA: Thanks for the compliments. You will see a lot of those trees in the coming days, as they have become an integral part of Ocean Point. And I really like single family houses in my towns, yes. 3.gif

    evilfish: Thanks for the compliments. It is always great to hear that others think my region is realistic. The areas around Marshland Bay are much like the areas along many back bays on the U.S. eastern seabord, and I'm really glad that you like those areas, and the trees too. They're an important part of Ocean Point.

    To All: The update is still on schedule, and I can almost guarantee that it will come tonight. 10.gif

    Evil Fish is right, your city is sooooooo realistic with the trees.  I really enjoyed looking at this one.  It stands out from all the rest of the CJ's.  And Comdude, no offense, but....

    NY METS will never win the world series like the NY YANKEES always do....just thought i would add that.
