Entries in this City Journal

I've had this packed away for a while now. I've never posted it. Today seems like a fitting day since it is . . well almost the 2 year anniversary of this city journals start. Actually maybe a week or 2. But still. Mostly a coincidence. I ran across the pictures and pondered about why I never posted it. I never felt it lived up to the rest, but I decided to just show it either way. I thought I'd just finish up Gansbaai so that this isn't just another declined journal. But a, happily to say, finished City...

The End

By _marsh_,

It brings me great sadness to announce this, but It's time for Gansbaai to come to an end. I've lost much motivation as well as have had much on my mind. I've grown bored of making perfect things and Gansbaai is feeling less and less like a game/art form. And more of a chore. In no way am I leaving the Sim City world. Just Gansbaai, and am simply moving on. I guess I don't have much to say. &mmm I'd say it's been a great run. But all things must come to an end. As some last words, Thank you all so very...

Not much happening still. I'm still very bored of SC4 aside from rare occasions. I've been playing other games. One included is Portal 2... Anyways, I got bored. I wonder what's hidden underneath that shack.

Another teaser. This is the new region. The tropical island of Itihat. This is my first major experience with custom lotting. And actually... this picture is far different then as you see it now. Oh. And here is a clearer image. : I apologize for the lack of updates. It was the last week of school. There were finals. ect... I've been playing other games as well. I'll get back into SC4 soon enough. ,marsh

Teaser

By _marsh_,

What is this you ask? Why a new region. You'll have to wait to see what it is exactly, but in the meantime why not guess? (It's called a teaser for a reason)

1 Year Anniversary

By _marsh_,

I'm not usually very good at words or long comments. (Which came to my amazement that more than 1 sentence spouted out of my mouth while writing the Serindriea war.) I usually let the pictures talk. I know I left some more recent updates out of that mosaic... but I really wanted to remind you all of past updates. Ones that don't deserve to be forgotten. It's been a great year. When starting Zukuraai I never thought Gansbaai would get as far as it has today. I want to thank each and every one of you for...

Attack at Sea

By _marsh_,

Lieutenant Johnson, my commanding officer, called me over to his side. He seemed to like me after frequent talks across the Vascan sea. He informed me of the mission we had. Detailing of the route and stops, ect; As well as our landing location in northern Trentannia. A newspaper lay on the table. Published a few weeks ago, probably obtained back in the country. It read: --April 29th, 1948-- After years of controversial actions made by Trentannia, the people of Serendriea has been enraged by the most...

War

By _marsh_,

...I'm getting shipped off tomorrow. To war. The country is fighting in the largest war in the history of Andonia. I was drafted yesterday, notified by a knock on my door. Luckily I already know how to shoot from my dad while hunting. I'll be better off than others. The Duke ordered for as many people to be sent out as possible. Many without any training whatsoever. Five Million already sent out. Everyone getting packed onto ships, to be sent out tomorrow. When I got to the docks the Warships where lined...

Serindriea

By _marsh_,

(You may have seen this elsewhere, but I'm copying this over to Gansbaai, because it forms as a lead-up to something. ) A world in anguish. Serindriea, 1948. The dawn of a new millennium is closing in. People move to this, "beautiful" city every day. Beautiful, I can argue that. This city is hell. Although I have never seen the outside of the city since I was 6, It's safe to amuse we live in a pit of despair. Living in the slums of the city. Well... the entire place is a slum. The wealthy live in the...

So I left Nouadhibou... however a new desert city in Gansbaai will be made. ()stsfd() Enjoy this teaser for now. Also, if you want more behind the scense stuff. Check out this thread. (Scroll down for recent things )

Where is Al Aauim?

By _marsh_,

Not an update but I thought you guys should no where Al Aauim actually is. It's in that red circle... To see it closer, here are multiple maps of the entire planet. (hidden in spoilers) Maps of Andonia Andonia is a planet of the USNW (SC4 Union). Which was drawn all by me. This is the new home of Gansbaai, and it's dependancy of Al Aauim. So get used to it.

HD Beach Mod?

By _marsh_,

Well more play with modding. I was curious, so I used Orange_o_'s sand textures and made a beach mod. It is really beautiful. There is actually detail in the sand rather than it being flat. Here is the beach with no MM plops at all. Not photoshopped either.

[Excerpt] - Nouadhibou - A once prospering city. After a stock-market crash in the city, the entire place went bust. The city, now abandoned, is slowly being covered in sands. Increased spending lead to an increase in things people bought. With money they did not have. Millions of loans where taken out by the millions that lived there. Ones that could not be payed back. The banks essentially ran out of money. The city was deserted, going from. upwards of 5 million people, to less than 4,000. practically...

The planet Andonia. On it lies many nations. One of these is the Royal Gansbaai Kingdoms. Click for full-size. (Warning - 10,000x5,259 pixles) The Royal Gansbaai Kingdoms are a nation on the Western coast of the Nahazzan Desert. The desert has been slowly encroaching the entire continent for many years now. Desertification on a massive scale. Gansbaai is slowly growing to be a poor country. With the fall of the city of Nouadhibou due to a major financial crisis, the country is as it was in the 90's....

Hiatus?

By _marsh_,

I am currently unsure about Gansbaai and The wild west right now. I am getting... bored with them. Honestly I don't know what to do. Work just is now excruciatingly slow. I plop 3 trees and then I get sick of it. I'm currently asking myself, what should I do? I'm thinking of maybe writing a story of some sorts. If anyone has any ideas, I am totally open. For now I shall be taking a bit of a break. For me a break could just be a few weeks (I usually play SC4 everyday) but again, I am unsure. I'm just not...

Terrain Work

By _marsh_,

I posted this in the SC4D projects board, but I also wanted to share with you all here. First off rock mods. Nothing special, since these are NOT MY TEXTURES. Their from Orange's terrain mod and I was just screwing around. Pretty much only for personal use. I was trying for some icy rock textures at higher altitudes. I may try to make my own textures, since these are a bit repetitive and bland. (For cliff textures anyway) This one looks like a very, eroded and smoothish rock. Again, not my textures, but I...
