NEW ARCTICA

By spursrule14,

NOMINEE BEST SC4 CITY JOURNAL Ten years ago, I never imagined that I would still be playing SC4, much less receiving awards for it! Nor did I ever think it could be used for making a mashup movie or imagining what other worlds could look like! Everything that is created for this game, and the things we then do with them, is a testament to how amazing this game can be....in fact, most of the time for me it's not even a game...it's just another program for doing art! Thank you to everyone who nominated me...

'GHOSTS'

By spursrule14,

KonstantinII luckily he's wearing insulated boots! SimCoug thank you!! Alex_1210 thank you! i wish more people would check this out...but i guess because i usually don't post multiple pics, or because this is sci-fi and not cities that some people aren't interested...it'd be nice to get more comments and views sometimes, so i greatly appreciate yours Huston a mystery cave would be exciting! but the even the most barren and empty cave would still be mysterious just by being on an alien planet!

'THE SECRET'

By spursrule14,

**To those that have been following this story, even since the very beginning more than a year ago, you know that the story has been building to a climax. We have finally reached that climax. Keep scrolling APSMS don't worry, i'm not going to pull a 'planet of the apes' lol! you wonder why drake would leave a perfectly good ship for a barren wilderness...well the motivations are purely psychological. he wanted out of the ship...there has been nothing but pain and suffering there for him, not to mention...

DUST AND ICE

By spursrule14,

This is just crazy...it's been two years since Alien Worlds began. Time flies so fast now, that you'd think we're all travelling through a wormhole.

By spursrule14,

emperordaniel, SimCoug on thin ice - the dark knight rises, he was the best of us - beowulf ... @SimCoug - thanks for the suggestion..the reason there are pauses sometimes with just music and a black screen is to let the music tell the story as well IL i have to link the pictures because they're so big...and i don't want them showing cause i like for the video to be the main presentation NMUSpidey thanks! i found the interior picture on deviantart, and then i modified it by putting in the view out the...
