Greater Terran - A SimCity (2013) Journal By Haljackey
My CJ Career gets a new lease on life with a new game.
Yup, you heard that right. I'll be returning to city journaling for the first time since 2009 (nearly 4 years!)
If you aren't familiar with my CJ work with SC4, see HERE and HERE. I am a 'Best City Journal' Trixie award-winner (among many others) and am known for dense, sprawling cities with intricate and massive transportation systems- both for cars and mass transit.
Keep in mind, this is the first time I have used the revamped CJ section on Simtropolis, so I still have some learning to do
.
At the moment we are all in the experimental stages of SC13, playing around with the game to see what works for us and how to overcome obvious obstacles like tile size. This first entry is meant to be an introduction to my play style of the game, which will be inspired by my gameplay in SC4, along with space-saving city planning techniques to get the best utilization possible for the game's limited city sizes.
With all that out of the way, let's get to the pics. Click them for full size!
Probably my best pic so far. Skyline rising.

And not just downtown... Cranes are everywhere.

City Hall

Yo dawg I heard you like image filters:

This filter makes the mine look so lousy

Cool filter shot of a bustling high density streetcar avenue intersection

I'm starting to attract some high-wealth sims and their shiny buildings now littler the cityscape.

The middle class is starting to get some density too... developing at the city tile edge.

This grinds my gears every time I see it. WHY???

As a bonus, here is a recap of a stream I did on SC13's launch night. I don't get very far, lose everything about 35 mins in.
Expect video content to be a major component in this CJ. My Twitch/Youtube stuff is starting to get a massive following.
Anyways hope you enjoyed. The GTR is back baby!
