Maxis are the Heroes and EA are the Villains

I do Freelance motion Graphics and Logo Design using Adobe After Effects, Cinema 4D, & Photoshop. When the engine is finished I could produce some launch material/graphics. http://www.vimeo.com/user6780895

Wright is independent now isn't he... He has his own game development studio "the stupid fun club"... Man if he could made a new City simulation IP as a flagship triple A release, what a way that would be the rain on EAs Sim parade.

The Focus Home Interactive Video Logo looks very similar to this Tutorial on Andrew Kramer's VideoCopilot.net http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/ancient_titles/

I Will Support this however I'll probably get involved once CXL2011 is released as I simply don't have the time ATM... Do go too big too fast I would keep to on Simtropolis till this idea catches on...

Love that Marinora Zoo Logo its amazing... What did you use to make it? Illustrator, Corel?

You can embed images by puting the URL of your image inbetween the image brackets of the message menu... Hope this helps

Welcome to Simtropolis, Very realisic first image. More images would be cool. Also 1 tip, If you upload the images to a image site such as photobucket and link it to your comments in the message menu it would make your City Journal alot easier to view! Keep it up! Chiverito

I can't wait to see the particle emmiters that MC were working on.

I like the Panoramic Resturant on the hill overlooking the city, very nice

Originally posted by: theBrad Another thing about this image below. Viewing the houses, it appears there is a walkway between them, such as an alley. But I think I definitely see steps. Am I seeing that correctly?quote> Using Globex's Mod you can unlock pedestrian walkways. The houses in this picture are like houses on water right?

Great CJ, I love the housing and the park surrounding the lake, very realistic!

Cheers!

where can I find root.patch?

I'am having the same problem as ifredrick, I can't get out of the Avatar Creator

Where can I find the Red Cross in the Avatar Editor

I thought that Cities XL was originaly distributed by Namco/Bandai... Atleast thats what it says on the back of the box (Cities XL Limited Edition) "Marketed and Distibuted by Namco/Bandai"

Got some Intel on the new Pubisher: FOCUS HOME INTERACTIVE Founded in 1996, Focus Home Interactive is an independent French publisher based near Paris, France. Known for the quality, diversity and originality of its catalogue, Focus has published and distributed original titles that have become benchmark titles worldwide -- such as Blood Bowl, Sherlock Holmes, TrackMania, Runaway and sports games like Cycling Manager and Virtual Skipper. On their homepage CitiesXL is displayed for sale and purchuse but there seems to be no news on any new develpments...

Ha, Just Finished Half Life 2 Episode 1 and your "Graphics Glitch" looks like the Citadel in City 17 blowing apart Great City Journal unholycowgod! Like the car park and lake textures... I need to download some mods!

Great Pictures Globex. Hope the New publishers open the game up to the modding community. Can you recover any models from the "Broken" GEMS?

Originally posted by: Mootilda Originally posted by: Aspire One More thing: Since it was most of the staff at MC that worked on CXL, won't they be needed for the game's completion?, There;s Still hope (for their jobs)quote> No, you don't need the same staff to complete a game. In fact, people often come and go on a project. It's just a bit easier to work on something if you worked on it in the past. However, many people may not want to move to a new company, especially if it's in a new country. We have no idea who bought CXL, where they are, or whether they intend to continue development. Originally posted by: saltandsauce i can think of one exception to that rule, EA Games of course, that would mean taking down all the companies it bought up over the years which would include maxis etc. and the developers would still lose their jobs but with the bland out of the market there could be a huge resurgence in game interest quote> Personally, I wouldn't want to bet on that. If EA goes under, other companies may be even more reluctant to do PC game development. I don't want EA to go under, because they develop / own my two favorite games. quote> How likely is it that a massive videogame behemoth such as EA to go bust went more and more people each day are spending money on the game industry and companies; like EA milking money from their many frachises. No offence EA make some great games: Mass Effect and Burnout to name a few. However this is the publisher that wants to charge for MULTIPLAYER (Check out there new Premium Service they hope to roll out), a basic feature. If EA get the publishing rights they will probably flog MC's hard work for high prices on STEAM or something... and MC will never get the good legacy they (and the employees deserve) Anyway enough of my ranting... We can only wait and see what is happening with Cities XL 2011

Great City Journal jazyje! Cool use of Road mods! Keep up the updates!
