Entry 5: Tropical Paradise
REPLIES:
Some great entries, i especially like the 1st picture of this one
Thanks very much!
These newly designed custom skyscrapers are really adding to this game. That third picture is amazing.
They really are. I've found a bunch of great ones. There's always a few clunkers here and there as well as a few scale issues, but overall, there's lots of really good stuff.
I agree, the buildings are great.
Yeah, the modding community has taken the bull by the horns. It's really amazing how much has been created in just a few short weeks!
Awesome close-ups, sir.
Is it me or some buildings in skylines are very detailed and some others pretty flat?
Some are significantly flatter than others, yes. There's some flat textures as well as some really simplistic models.
Some of them may appear flat as users are trying to reduce poly count on their custom creations (at least I think that's the reason).
As for the shots masked they look gorgeous. That first one especially looks amazing!
Cheers
James
I think that's the reason, too. Thanks for the kind words, James!
Entry 5: Tropical Paradise
Told you I like to bounce around. There's just too many neat things and ideas swimming around in my head to stick to anything for an extended period of time. So, after getting an itch to find a few custom maps, I found this: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=411591966
It's a tropical map with lots of little islands, a beautiful forested mountain range, and some narrow flat areas for building. It's a challenge, for sure, but I'm enjoying the way it's coming along. This is a non-sandbox city. Progressing as normal and with a normal budget--the only mods enabled are the 25 tile unlock and the rest cosmetic (Sun Flares, Ambient Occlusion, First-Person Cam). The city is still rather small, as I have just recently unlocked high density.
This map is gorgeous. Like...seriously.
I'm getting tired of wind power, but when you're playing the game with an actual budget, it's so cheap and efficient it's hard to NOT use it!
The train line is elevated through the (thus far) usable tiles. The cargo train flies through Umber Hills Lumber Mills. Yes, that's right. The default district name was Umber Hills, and it just seemed far too perfect to simply slap, "lumber mills" to the end. I'm a poet...and didn't even know it.
A simple overview. Like I said, still small. However, this is an older picture. I've developed quite a bit more than this. I've got a bit of a downtown area working now that high density is unlocked. But that will have to wait for another day! Have a good one, and thanks for the continued support.
