Introduction and overview

Somnolence

284 Views

This area, formerly known as Industry City, used to be an industrial area for the city of Blacktower (unfortunately, I don't have a screenshot of it). However, it was extremely polluted, and badly connected to Blacktower, and also the neighboring city Gorton. Let's make something better out of it.

The first thing to do was connect the highway from Gorton to a major boulevard in Blacktower.

Here's a picture of it.5a25bafc0d994_IndustryCity-Apr.28151512399934.thumb.jpg.1d96940bc46fbf38d4d3ae88499cb9ff.jpg

Now, let's do some more infrastructure (and also, some decorations).

Let's take a look at what is about to become our first residential zone:

There it is!

A couple of bus stops won't do any harm.

Okay, so now we have a connection between Gorton and Blacktower, and also a little suburb with a good connection to both cities.

Let's have an overview of other parts of Gorton:

central Gorton - a metropolis full of skyscrapers:

South Gorton - a modern suburb with buildings which vary from tiny houses to high-rise buildings:5a25bd3f68165_SouthGorton-Jul.15291512418948.thumb.png.20bb761abe07ed39ff8e0530b1d7f2c3.png

Let me know what you all think, and see you next time.

To be honest I don't understand what you mean. Is that a good thing and how do I change it?

Most of your views in mayor view are of the entire city tile, the entire block of small and medium tiles when zoomed-out can be seen surrounded by a lot of screen space.  The large tiles usually don't fit in the screen area.   This reminded me of slides in a slide show that are projected onto a canvas screen by a light projector.   As you tell your story I get the sense that you are clicking from one slide to the next as in a slide presentation.   As well, you only use 1 or 2 lines to explain the picture, and that makes it easy to enjoy the show --not too much reading.

I think its a good thing, its unique, novel, and makes it very easy to follow and take interest in your story and pictures.  Just in case you aren't familiar with slide shows, a slide show is a presentation using a series of projected images or photographic slides, digital slideshows are made with programs like MS Powerpoint.
