I recommend using more smooth curves in Rural Areas. Apart from that I like this update!

I see you've gotten a terrain mod. Everything looks much better now.  :) City-building skills are vastly improved as well.

 

Some things to note:

 

1) Do use a dictionary. I have an M.A. in Linguistics and I still use one. There's no shame in it at all. This will minimize errors like in a previous episode when you wrote, "I'm appalled that you're all here."

 

2) One mistake I made when I first started doing story-based CJs like this is that I used character images that were too famous. It's pretty much impossible to see a YuGiOh character as anything but a YuGiOh character. On the other hand, a more obscure character image, one that most people don't know, is less likely to have that sort of problem. I can definitively say that, generally, the readers who were able to enjoy my characters the most were the ones who did not know where the original images came from. Light... LeLouche... Yami... I can only see them as their source material. It is a major barrier.

 

3) "Welcome to the official page of the aggregated government of the Greater Teiko Metropolitan Area government." <--from your homepage. That's kind of a turn-off to potential readers unless they know what it is beforehand. Frankly, I'm not really sure what the purpose of the website is. If the page is set up to as just something for your own personal amusement and for that of your friends, then fair enough. In such a case, you don't need me stomping around in your playground. If, on the other hand, you're trying to attract new visitors, I'm afraid it's not doing the job. Make sure the site's purpose is clear so that people know what they're getting into. Is it a story? Are you doing a government RP? (Also, you said "government" twice in the quoted sentence.)

 

It is a well-designed site. You have clearly put a lot of work into it.

Looks awesome Jmsepe!

 

Really like the mix of mid rise buildings you have in the city area though I'm not too sure about the road around the temples. I would change it too a street as the black in amongst all that greenery is a bit garish as well as the traffic lights.

 

That's the only criticism I could find though so keep up the good work.

 

Cheers

Looking good, you are clearly improving with each entry. But I think the temples need a less urban type of street surrounding them, heck an MMP surface(s) would look far more better.

You know what? For a medium sized city, you put tanks at the main road, you just make Teiko felt like Crimea.... Agreed with Niels, you should use smooth curves...

Love the business center a bit of mmps would have done the UNESCO site but that's my only complain\

otherwise keep up the good work :) :)

Nice new stuff. I like the changes and I think it works together quite nicely.

Yes, it is a quite nice looking city.  I don't really have any criticisms or complaints (my own work in the game stinks anyways) but I do have a question: where did you get the zebra crosswalks?  Is it part of the NAM?  If so, which part?  If not, please let me know what they're from.  I used to have them, but the NAM overwrote everything and now they only appear at avenue intersections.  I want them EVERYWHERE.  I'd appreciate the help.

Bring the Asian style!

 

As a suggestion, use an automata skin for the default Maxis trains. They look just horrible that plain.

That's nice!

 

What Zel said. Also use variety when making a story, or use the lowest known ones from the story if you want to use Yu gi oh characters. :P

Good stuff!  Glad to see another asian CJ, keepss me inspired :D. Please can you tell me where I can get the building with the Nakano written on  it, and the white tower with an odd triangular shape on it's right (same picture, the Sin-Niji flyover)? Thanks :)

 

NMUspidey to get zebra crosswalks you need to download old SFBT mod @ SC4 devotion and select the option for zebra crosswalks from the installer. Then you can delete all files besides the one named "zzz3_Euro_Textures_Crosswalks.dat" and place the file inside z__NAM folder and make it load after the other textures

Wow, the scenes in this update are so well done and beautiful. Definitely a nice blend of urban and rural in the first few pics :)

I think japan drives on the left side of the road... ;-)

otherwise, I like the metropolis :-)

Kawai na kuroko....

Really nice update!  HAMADA is a vacation destination for sure!  I love this bldg.  Just got word from the tv station (KPTN) that the CEO of Mamma Peytons left a greeting for Beika City!

 

PS:  I could use that Baikian sauna Treatment!

 

 

 

Fantastic work.This is one of your best updates so far.By the way,do you draw the characters yourself?

I love that temple

Beautiful Asian influences.

Like the downtown :)
