You say you haven't had much time to play..  but your city is looking great .. not to mention quite large and spreading.

 

Love those plazas!

    Nice to see the spree-blick :) I need to make some more low profile ferries.

    Thank you mate, keep those awesome assets of yours coming out! :-)

    Aww that's a shame, but there's no point continuing if you feel uninspired.

    It still looks amazing despite you not getting the "feeling for it".


    Here is my city Rodenburgh, a realistic and fully detailed European city and region. Come over if you're interested!

    Yeah i think the map were to "static" for me. And the lack of water was something I didnt like aswell.

    Thank you mate!

    So here's the new build. A more mountainous map which is a bit more challenge than the flat one.

    Havnt gotten so far, just plopped down the main station and the first few "rows" of buildings.

    Still a WIP!

    Here's hoping this build inspires you more. Sometimes our creativity just fails to get fired up and certain project lose momentum. Sometimes returning to an abandoned project after a period away lets us see things with a fresh eye and new perspective. Might be worth a revisit further down the track!

    A good point mutton noir, although i change quite alot of assets when switching map, which means all old maps will be quite "destroyed" if i go back :(

     

    Anyway, heres some more shots!:

     

    The port down at the bottom (still a WIP) with the railyard close by:

    Fx1S2eV.jpg

     

    One of two ways to/from the port:

    The passenger station down at the bottom:

    MLGDp2R.jpg

    Love the port area, and perfect use of that curved airport terminal as the cruise ship hub.. I was wondering how I could use it, now I have some inspiration.

     

    Keep up the great job!

    Hey!

    Been home the last week and so i've actually had some time to play!

    One of the marinas with the harbor in the background;

    6hPoQGI.jpg

    OiqAn8J.jpg

     

    The hilly landscape creates quite a challenge....

    xvFZGbv.jpg

    ...especially when you want to place down larger buildings!

    EdX0sX4.jpg

     

    hG6EbRg.jpg

    onoVgFC.jpg

     

    Shot of a more "modern" part of the city;

    The cruise terminal;

    uDXGiXe.jpg

     

    Until next time!

    Quite challenging landscape:

    IvhI23b.jpg

    Damn traffic!

    6dfFkTE.jpg

    A few more shots! Been doing some progress, but still alot to be done :-)

    rqz87YT.jpg

     

    The three-level station (two if you dont count the by-pass track)

    DnQmTMn.jpg

    pqmi1gX.jpg

     

    Quite dirty and nasty looking industry!

    HhNkHjt.jpg

     

    The main building of the station. At the front, drop off point for taxis and private vehicles.

    In the back, bus and tram station connecting the train station to the city:

    kXWHbdJ.jpg

     

    Overview of the area im currently working on (the second island)

    caEROQj.jpg

    UiSB5Tq.jpg

     

    One of the main access roads to this island:

    TZmgQNN.jpg

     

    Wedged in between the residential zones and the offices we find the remains of the old part of town:

    Hoi!

    New city with a new focus point; history!

    The build (atleast the old part of town) will be with the focus on historically buildings.

    9bxEWMl.jpg

     

    There will be quite alot of canals aswell as some terrain heigh difference.

    YKZWR6J.jpg

    TRjE78M.jpg

     

    Guardens (not complete yet) at the Royal Palace:

    AZy0xHK.jpg

     

    Another angle of the intersection from the first screen. On the right the central station:

    jqYX0kV.jpg

    q9Z2WqG.jpg

    More on the central station later.

    LXgDspw.jpg

    TkxXaLP.jpg

    nRULK3v.jpg

     

    By far the largest building in the city so far. Quite beautiful!

    KUCdTnc.jpg

     

    The ugly tramway is hidden under ground thank god! :-D

    LpsTGJ6.jpg

     

    Speaking of ugly; the railyard.  Just a small bit completed so far:

    XVDCr5k.jpg

    BCRdeWl.jpg

    5xT49ea.jpg

     

    Along the canal:

    h01LIrX.jpg

    Not much activity these days on this site it seems, but I will continue to post here for a while more atleast.

    The central station is complete! (much of it is below the ground level)
    H9s5gRi.jpg

    FQomrfl.jpg

     

    The cargo terminal (ish) is located on the other side of the river:

    k5LHi1h.jpg

     

    Overview shot!

    76UhKjh.jpg

     

    Added a small harbor:

    76m0hwm.jpg

    Oh, I'm still following this! It's just that the reaction function is broken sometimes ;)

    I like your station. The rail layout looks very realistic, especially with the small shrubs between the tracks!

    Only problem I see with your new project is that there are so many styles mixed. It looks like every single block is from a different era.

    Glad to hear!:)

    Yeah you are right, I've mixed all the different European styles together haha. I find it abit boring just using one style. I wanted to only go with the Paris ones, but the variation was a little bit to limited for me.

    Hey!

    Going to start with a few overview shots. The main additions are that I've added a more modern part of the city (not done yet) aswell as a football stadium.

    veFM46u.jpg

    V4xB15s.jpg

    PQ3Z4Fd.jpg

     

    So this is the modern part of the city, which is located on the other side of the river. Not much room to build on, which means you will have to go higher:-)

    CGt2paZ.jpg

    Sj9HKQv.jpg

     

    The newly added stadium;

    ZvEkKPI.jpg

     

    A mix of old and new;

    CaMBrXg.jpg

     

    Plenty of beaches around!;

    MGQTBKk.jpg

     

    The main station on the left and a small cargo/industrial station to the right;

    gzJXrDX.jpg

     

    Thats if for now, im currently building an small airport which i think will look quite nice.

    Until then!
