Alrgiht guys. I'm really sorry I've been inactive for the last few weeks. Life has taken it's toll on me and it looks like my free time is officially over. It doesn't mean I've given up though I'm getting a new laptop soon - hopefully it will be able to handle the better graphic options which means better screenshots and cities. I'm still looking, so expect it around October-December time (yes, I'm sorry, but it'll have to do.) In the meanwhile, I'll try and get the SimCity open again. I'm assuming it's more bug free now

Sorry for the late one Computer and origin went kaboom. Suburbia Sector: Overlook Valley Population: 14,542 Year: 2041 Welcome back people to our tour of Suburbia Sector! This will be our last tour (I promise!) for the time being. Because we need to get onto the metro at 8:45am, we humbly request you don't take much photos during this tour. A striking avenue and the large Lemonwaters skyline feature both in the picture. Overlook Valley is famous for its industrial might. Having more industrial buildings being built everyday, the city's coffers have literally overflowing with cash. The main subhighway is very busy due to the incompetence of the Cloudscape Department of Transportation, who have recently been give a $1bn funding boost. Luckily, more than a tenth of the city use public transport, easing down the burden on Overlook's cracked roads. A new public library and elementary school has been opened in hopes to attract high-tech industry to the city. So far, nothing has happened, but there has been reports of algebraic graffiti in gang hideouts. Oh no! It's 5 minutes until the train sets off! We better rush of quickly! Goodbye everyone! Galactic's Note Hope you enjoyed that I have received 2 requests to help me build Cloudtopia. I would love to, but the only problem is that my Origin has gone kaboom. Firstly, I can not invite friends as the button has disappeared. Secondly, I can log into the Origin client but not the website. Apparently, I don't "exist"! Thirdly..well...all my friends before the incident have disappeared! If anyone has any help, please post asap! I look forward to having more requests to join! TTFN, galactic

Ladies and gentlemen, I am very happy to say Cloudscape is no longer on hold. I will be be back making cities soon, since my exams are finally over. However, random people are causing very inconvenient trouble for me which I shouldn't really be involved in, so it will take longer to create more cities. On a sad note, I am very sad to announce my open public region for East Cloudtopia has been trolled and filled with a bunch of LOL SECTORS. Countless hours of time have been lost only for some troll to make some criminal city full to the brim of monotonous boring skyscrapers and grid patterns. Many of my other cities have also been trolled too, so I am sad to also announce my regions will no longer be public. If you would like to still join, just a drop a reply and I'll invite you

Yes - it is better now. Thanks for telling us! Now we can build in peace.

We need you! Well, I just logged on this morning and guess what I found? Half of the region is full - and they're not horrible! If you are alright for me to take pictures of them and add it to my CJ, just join Region Name: East Cloudtopia Metro Server: Europe West 2 Please note I am not looking for ZOMG SKYSCRAPER FORETSSSZZZZZ or a bunch of LOL SECTORS, so please be sensible while building.

Cloudscape is on hold I'm sorry guys, but a combination of exams, random, inconvenient and irritating stuff, annoying people and game-breaking bugs means I will not have time to continue my CJ indefinitely . I will, however, try and do some building when the bugs are fixed and the exams are over, though it's looking like a long time until these are done. I might put out some short updates out occasional and might post some video updates on my YouTibe channel, so don't give up. And no, don't worry - I have no plans to cancel this CJ -galactic

To be honest, in my kinda useless opinion, it's the pollution and traffic bugs ONLY which are stopping me from playing the game. The rest of the bugs detract from the gameplay but I don't really care about them since I seem to have a "clean" edition of the game. However, it is ridiculous to not spot a game-breaking bug in 3 weeks of QA testing..

I still play it but the air pollution bug is a killer. Other than that and the fact rain doesn't fill the water table and traffic issues, I'm fine with the game. I don't really care about the other issues since I seem to be shielded from them.

Delays Benedict: Yes, it is much easier now. I hope to release some if I have the the time, maybe with some commentary Sorry guys, I'm extremely busy at the moment and it doesn't look like it'll be stopping anytime before August/July. However, during the free time I do have I'm forced to do revising and all that horrible things, so I'll try getting an update out soon™. EDIT: The pollutin bug has effectively destroyed East Cloudtopia. I'm going to have to start again and I'm getting busier and busier..how I hate the end of the school year!

Cloudscape has it's own YouTube channel! Well...it's my gaming channel..but who cares? I'll be uploading short videos of my cities on this channel; I'm using the rubbish ingame video recorder so they are extremely short. I'll try and use Hypercam 3 next time. Watch in 360p or HD if you can. Lemonwaters tour- Ingame video recorder test in Rangia District - More coming soon, I'm still working on East Cloudtopia. Though it would be nice if someone joined the region..

Hmm....seems good,though it would be better with they fixed the underlying problems rather than touching the surface.

Furthermore, I think it can happen if you buy contaminated water from another city. Try shutting down your suppliers one by one to see who's supplying you the dirty water.

Very good once again! Keep it up!

As for the grid issue, it appears to be a bug with my graphics card and since I'm no computer apotheon I don't know how to fix it This entry follows the story of a eager graduate buying a new home around 40-50 years before most of the entries in the journal and his journey along the way East Cloudtopia Sector: Rangia District Population: 33,110 Year: 1976 Hello people, my name is Jack, and I just bought a apartment in Rangia! They say I'm "medium-wealth", but in my humble opinion I don't know what that's supposed to mean. There's underfloor heating, comfortable pre-furnished rooms and great views! Here's a picture I took of it: Nice humble home for a humble person . The industrial district is literally blowing up with growth, so, as a keen photographer I snapped a image of it. I went shopping earlier and I was amazed by the amount of shops there were! I bought lots of furniture and gadgets, though the constrast between the wealthy and slightly poorer parts of the city is noticeable. As I slowly wandered through the city, I eventually reached the border with a city they're planning to build, so I couldn't go any further. My favourite place to eat is Taqueria. You can eat everything: from tacos to pizzas and coke ice cream to ghost chilli fizzy drinks! The city is mostly mid-rise, with only three high-rise buildings. This road in particular is mixed with low-rise and mid-rise This forest is one of the most quiet areas on Rangia. On drowsy summer evenings I sit in the nearby park and wonder away....what is the meaning of life? Do we live to work or work to live? I recently bought a car and went for a drive; here's picture I took on the way. The skyline looks qute good on this one! Down Craftia Avenue Further up the avenue you have a clearer picture of the city. The skyscraper district is uglier at street-level than it looks....it's just bland old glass... This is the road near the location of my job interview tomorrow. Wish me luck! Dead-end avenues are a common sight here..though I did only move in two weeks ago, so I probably didn't have a good look around. The roads here have very shrap dips and rises. I suppose it keeps out the speeding motorists though! Night here is better than it looks, however, I do hear sporadic gunfire which makes me a bit petrified nervous.. The IS23 (intersector 23) curves right through the heart of town, and it brings traffic nightmares everywhere. No wonder nobody really wants to live there! Woah!!!??!! Did you just hear! We've been merged with the capital Cloudtopia, and who knows what could happen? Success or failure? I'll leave that to you to decide . Filler-in over folks! This is set forty years before the entries I'm going to post later, so of coruse it's going to me small . I'm working very hard on East Cloudtopia Sector, but studying and exams are taking its toll. I'll be back soon, and as per usual please leave feedback; I don't bite! Now let's go before they find out I've been sneaking on! -- galactic

Thanks! The grid was on in the screenshots, I don't know if there's a way to turn it off. There's a bug with computers like mine, so if I try to go above minimum lighting a grid appears. But thanks for telling me, I'll try and find a way to turn it off.
