Just a small Holiday Season entry composed of a few new and old pics for Christmas.

Thank you to all those who visited, commented, and rated my CJ in 2014. I didn't manage to build all the things I planned at the beginning of the year but I had 22 solid entries and I'm quite proud of that.

I would once again like to thank all the Modders and BATers whose hard work, creativity, talent, and devotion keep SC4 alive and make it better than ever. I would also like to thank all the Mods and Admins who keep the site up and running.

Enjoy!

Happy Holidays. See you in the future!

Ln X: The Hanging Gardens of Ionica! A temple of science and technology, lol! Actually the Lotus Flower, or the Lotus Temple, is a Baha'i house of worship in New Delhi, the actual BAT is really well done and perfectly captures the architectural style of using the number 9. The 9-sided star, the 9 walkways and the 18 petal-like walls. Anyway, good work on the repetitive architecture and the multi-layered symmetry.

Yeah I know what it is, but of course I had to invent a new identity for it to fit in Ionica. Thanks.

 

Schulmanator: Nice! What an inventive way to take a new twist on an old idea. Babylon would be envious! Rock on!

Oh you bet I'm rockin' on! Thanks Schul!

 

Sexysark:P: That is the lotus temple in Delhi i live in Delhi you should see that in real-life an engineering marvel :D next time i go i am gonna click a pic for you :D as always you outlive our expectation :)

I'd love to see it in real life. Thanks

 

Prophet42: Wow!! Very well planned out and beautiful.

Took a little while to get things right but it worked out. Thanks.

 

TekindusT: This is maaaaaaaassive!!! And you have gone one step further when it goes in SC4 awesomeness with this update!

I'm always trying to impress ya. Thanks Tek!

Mymyjp: Absolutely fabulous! I can so see myself walking there....excellent work as always!

It would be quite an amazing park to walk in if it really existed wouldn't it? Thanks.

 

KonstantinII: Ionica: Combining the best of the utopian and cyberpunk worlds. This nice green complex you have there. Jacque Fresco would be proud. I could spend all my day in that park! By the way, it reminds me of this image. Also, how in the world did you make the water at different levels? I didn't think it was possible.

Ah, that's a good slogan for Ionica. Maybe I'll use it in 2015. I've just used PEG ponds and waterfalls.

 

Masissar: I have no words, just amazement. This is amazing, the use of the waterfalls and the terrain. just amazing!!!

So happy you're amazed! Thanks.

 

Huston: EPIC pyramid waterfall AI tech complex :O Puts the hanging gardens of Babylon to shame. :P

Ionica 1, Babylon 0. Booyah! Thanks.

 

SAVAGExPHOENIX: Okay, so I want you to know that I'm stealing this idea for the Illium City's Shrine of the Fallen (our war memorial). It's so stunningly beautiful that I can't *NOT* use it!!! Wonderful update. I hope mine looks half as good as yours (although my Peg water gets brown boxes and I have no idea why so I'll have to use something else.)

Go for it. I can't wait to see what you come up with. I wonder why you're getting brown boxes. Maybe you should review the dependencies. Thanks.

 

feeroz123: Stunning! The concept is beautiful and the execution is perfect.

Thank you very much feeroz123.

__A: That is absolutely stunning! I'm sure that Lotus Flower is secretly a nuclear weapon MUAHAHA :P

What an amusing but terrifying idea. Thanks.

 

nas786: awesome. just awesome. These are the kinds of journals that inspire me (and I"m sure others) to start building, and make this game so fun!

That's what they're here for. I'm glad I've inspired you. Thanks.

 

Lord Branham: Absolutely in love with it!!!! Great work, by far one of my favorites!

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks Lord Branham.

 

slickbg56: You have brought waterfallery and skyscraparity together in a way that has become spectacumazing. It is so good, that it caused me to make up words.

Ionica: Behold the spectacumazingness of our waterfallery and skyscraparity! lol, great new words. Thanks.

 

Sylvio Jorge: Brilliant. The magnificence of this entry goes beyond the huge visual beauty of the images. Your ability to create and build something like this is what makes it so special and is really inspiring.

Thank you so much Sylvio Jorge. Your appreciation pushes me to greater heights.

 

dossenaandrea: awesome!!! where did u get those curved per bridges?

Those are bendy bridges by murimk. Thanks

 

StarFire01: Building on the top is beautiful.

Yeah, one damned amazing BAT.

 

tankmank: A stunning park, you have outdone yourself this time

That's what I was going for. Thanks.

 

Tonraq: Looks like a nice city to live at :)

It certainly would be. Thanks.

 

Benedict: Well done, you've topped BTT for the third and fourth weeks in a row.

Sweet. I should have saved that DiCaprio gif for this one. Thanks y'all.

Amazing! It is really in the details... The combination between the park and the seawalls matches perfectly, making the transition to the stairs look seamless. The purple light at the ferris wheel combined with the boardwalk and the marina creates a very beautiful atmosphere. Everything is really incredible. Happy holidays!
