• Update #7 || Hatsukaichi - Closer View •

##############################################################################

• Hello everyone, in the last update we've seen Hatsukaichi from the heights, now is time to get closer and see all the details that this village can offer to us. This update has a great amount of pictures and all of them are focused in the village of Hatsukaichi and non in its port. We will visit the port in the next update.  •

•  This is Japan and that means that you can reach all places easily. You can reach Hatsukaichi by car; using the Highway, national road or just driving across the roads of the prefecture. By train and also by ferry. in this picture you can see the Highway that cross Saitama from south to north and also the Shinkansen line, it has not station in Hatsukaichi.

The sea has always been good friend in Japan, anyway it is better to keep distances

The soberly layout, the popplars (I love them, I think they are vnanoed), the colourfull roofs and the autumn leaves, the walls, the ground textures and the mmp work on them - everything used with great inspiration, balance and harmony. This is a masterpiece. This is art.

Superb work with diagonals!! I really love the feel of this CJ, I think it is set a bit apart of all other Japanese-themed CJs to create something unique.

While all of it is truly superb, I really do love the first image - the straight lines of rail, highway, houses, road and more rail really just does look superb!

This is feels so wonderfully different ! (while it's nice to recognize some buildings here and there,the warehouses, for instance)  I love the little school, and generally the attention to details. Glad you're putting this on SImtropolis !

Lovely work all round. For me highlights the really nice rolling stock - especially the commuter train in maroon and the well balanced night lighting which is hard to do well.

This is a superb CJ. You are a master of making beautiful cities that (from what I see) can actually function, which is truly amazing to begin with, but you then do it extremely well on top of that. Plus, all your screenshots are so perfectly composed that they are impressive not just by SC4 standards.

In your ninth picture, you have what appears to be some green ploppable water! I've never seen that before, is it from a Japanese site?

Fantozzi What a nice comment !! I took a lot of energy from your comment and I just want to keep posting updates as soon as I can, thanks my friend !

TekindusT - Gracias amigo. I always try to make something  purely Japanese, I mean I try to respect all limitations that a country like Japan has... I try to avoid Chinese stuff, because they are too big for Japanese cities...I'm always focused in the transport system and how to grow the areas and roads...Japan is a hard country to understand but once you are able to understand how it works things became easier... anyway I spend a lot of time looking at Japan...(Google Earth, pictures, videos, etc...)

_Michael   - Thanks my friends. I like that picture too, its nice to see all of them working together, I should make a videos of this village...

tariely - Thank you so much, Glad you liked it !! I will keep posting and sharing my region for a long time...( I hope) and I hope to see you back the next time, thanks !

korver - I will !! Thank you so much Korver, I hope to see you here in the next update *:thumb:

rivit - Thanks Rivit !! The night time is something really cool in Japan, they have a lot of lights in their streets... this is SimCity and we have some limitations but I think with all the mods that we have right now the result is pretty cool. Thanks for your comment !!

SC4L0ver - Gracias amigo !! Agradezco mucho tus comentarios y espero que pronto estes de vuelta con tu magnifica region !!

licoricebomb - Thank you so much !!! Another fantastic comment that give a lot of energy and motivation, thank you for that !!! well.. about the region, I will say that the 80% of the region is natural growth, then the airports, parks, ports, trains and its stuff, offices and financial districts are Ploppable... but the traffic, trains, residential areas (Low, medium) are natural growth... I changed this some years ago... when I saw myself playing cities without motion... just plop lots here and there to get the best visual result... not anymore... I want life in my cities...

# Take a lot to this set, you will find the green water and more cool stuff LINK
