Welcoming you back to Selbring County after a year of inactivity. Brining you smog covered skylines and breathing complications since 1931.

It's been a year since I last updated Selbring. I hope your as excited for the update as I was to make it. Though you may have thought that Selbring County was dead as a CJ or forgotten about its existence all together well, I'm here to prove that wrong. Selbring may have been down, but it's not out!!

In the Selbrinian Metropolitan area, the district of Huntington is amongst one the centers of Commerce and Finance; likewise with Stoddard Heights and even downtown Selbring. It's a part of a chain of districts which are the backbone of the commercial and financial sector of the city.

At first glance, it may appear clean. Prestine. Beautiful? Well if you look closer, you'll realize you're dead wrong. The gleaming towers, a testemant to the city's enduring spirit is nothing more than a deceiving suger-coated façade.

The canal that runs through Huntington District is not the cleanest of canal systems. It's even likely to kill. Some residents have come out of the canal, with burns. It was possibly a result of the high pH in the water. It's also foul in smell, though many won't notice it as the city itself smells the same way. It's a front for dumping industrial waste and sewage, and all of that is derived from the many water gates that fill the river with toxic chemcials and dangerous biohazardous waste.

Yet many of Selbring's mistreated citizens are oblivious to the threat. But it's really the least of their worries.

The woes of unemployment are more shattering, with many who live here struck in poverty, in the midst of tall intimidating corporate towers harboring those employed in white collar jobs.

Other problems that aren't always brought to light cause of their apparent 'insignificance'; Like most of the city, it's covered in dense smog which paints the sky in a light yellow hue. It's extremely likely that if you live long enough of Selbring, you'll develop Lung disease or respiratory problems.

Other such occurances like shootings and bombins as well as other conflicting events are another issue. Especially here when angry have-nots clash with wealthy white collar elites.

By night, the streets are illuminated by faint lit streetlights.

The tallest of towers in Huntington paint a beautiful, bright skyline filled with bouts of yellow orange and the occasional neon signs.

A bunch of Apartments.

The majestic UniWorld Corporate Tower. Standing high and bright in the Selbrinian skyline.

And to finish. A picturesque panorama of a decievingly beautiful yet horrifically disgusting city.

Thanks for viewing.

10/10 Absolutely fantastic!

 

Did you MMP the cars in the picture with the ambulance? How did you create that scene? I have seen similar scenes like that.

Oh my gawd! This is amazing Kyle! I love the way you put this city together and gave it this run down, broken feeling. :D

Stoddard heights was one of the best entries ever, and now you give me this? HOLY SMOKES. :wub: This vividly reminds me of the settings of one of my favorite TV shows, How I Met Your Mother. Looks absolutely fantastic, and gives off an authentic New York feel, whether that be from zoom 6 or zoom 3. Keep up the great work Kyle! :thumb:

Coming out of the canal with burns eh? Sounds like it might be a little more menacing than simply the pH level. I wonder what the consumable water is like. Water filtration is good in the city?

"Yet many of Selbring's mistreated citizens are oblivious to the threat." - All too common of a problem. Seeing as though it is the least of their worries, apparently respiratory failure isn't very high on the priority list for most of Selbring's citizens. Lets hope that the garbage situation is better than the air quality.

Great entry, looking forward to more out of Huntington District.

amazing job.  Really gives off the feel of both upper and lower class, first time I've seen that pulled off so perfectly.

Those two skyscrapers are the coolest skyscrapers I've seen in this game, they're also the most realistic looking I've seen to!

Amazing!  I can almost see the beautiful city through the smog.  Are they taking development lessons from the Chinese?

If not the pollution and crimes, I love this city, it looks inspirational.

You have also included some great details in the canal, and streets :D

For a moment I felt like I was there, idk if only me that notices that some places (even if they're not very clean or wealthy) have a special feeling, or should I say "air" as for your city? hehe

Well great job, but I don't want to live there :P
