May 12, 2013 After a long time abroad on a research trip to Southeast Asia, Professor Margery Evans was finally heading back to the US. It had been a difficult return flight- layovers at Hong Kong, San Francisco, and Phoenix- and she couldn't wait to get home. As her plane neared its final destination of Yuma International Airport, she glanced out the window and caught a glimpse of her hometown, the suburb of Ligurta Vista: As a professor of linguistics, Prof. Evans had spent the last three months studying...

@escilnavia and taliz81: Thanks, both of you! @hahei: yep! I'll try and go into the backstory for this upcoming chapter. @benedict: I appreciate the kind words! I'm not as good as some of the CJers on here- really, you guys are all beyond amazing- but I'm hoping the story and the images will segue nicely for readers CJ Update, and a Teaser for Chapter 2 It's been a lot longer than I would have liked since my last entry. I'll aim to be a bit more consistent with the next several updates, so hopefully there...

Welcome back. Let's take a brief respite from the Pacific and head over to the other side of the world. Broekhaven, The Netherlands, 2012. Originally settled by Frisian farmers in the 9th Century, and later inhabited by numerous German settlers before it ultimately was absorbed into the greater Dutch culture in the 1700's, Broekhaven displayed a variety of cultural influences. The city was the second-largest urban area in the northeastern part of the Netherlands, and the relative proximity to Groningen was...

Replies: @tsimmer77: thanks! @a_muses: It was actually intentional, but I got the idea from a previous city where I kinda didn't realize the power plant was aging until it was far too late... I might be a bad mayor.... @escilnavia: I'm glad you liked it. I've got a couple ideas on where to take this journal. The next entry should (hopefully) have the first large story reveal @Benedict: Much appreciated! I was nervous about using all Maxis, so I'm glad it went over well. CJ Update: I apologize for the delay...

Replies: @Benedict: Thanks for the kind words! @Fbi123: Um, I'm not sure what you are referring to. I don't think this CJ has any relation to Liberty City or any of the GTA games... (Foreword: Please forgive this entry for being made almost entirely with Maxis content. I decided to go with it as it fit with the narrative of this particular CJ entry, but I can safely say that all entries going forward from here will be primarily custom content.) Something Wicked this Way Comes Let's go back a bit and visit...

Welcome to Namane, a tiny Japanese village in the mountains of Akita Prefecture! Namane has gone through many ups and downs over the last several years. For most of the 90's and early 00's its population shrank dramatically, but today the number of inhabitants is on the rebound. Over one hundred fifty people call this place home. The central fixture of the village is the Ashikagawa monastery. A traditional Buddhist retreat, it has been used for hundreds of years to teach new students. While at one point...

Welcome to The Pacific, grimly.... This CJ mostly takes place in the near future; as you can imagine, a lot has changed in the ensuing decade or two. It will be focusing on a number of different regions around the Pacific basin, and what's going on in their pockets of the world. My goal is to update about once a week, though that pace might slow down a bit later on. Hopefully, you'll see an overarching narrative emerge around Chapter 3. I'll be using several different terrain mods, mostly from Heblem...
