The Inlet, City Building Contest

Don't want to give too much away, but have been really proud of my progress so far, so why not share it. I've decided to challenge myself from my usual European-esque cities to a completely Japanese styled one. Never knew how hard it was, but its been so fun so far!

Here is an incredibly small & vague (haha) preview of the unfinished Miyako CBD & Hatsu district connected by the Sakame bridge. ​

​

 

Hey everyone, I also started a city for the contest on that map. I post here a few pictures to give an overview of it. It is still full of farms and fields but the cities grows and expands on them

and from some roofs of one district:

 

Release a tsunami wall mod thanks haha

All jokes aside, no defenses but another suprise in store for you

 

Looks quite good @Wibi
But don't waste your time with photoshopping images that don't show finished areas, you need to build
Only 2.5 months left! By the way, such a tsunami wall system could be done with existing mods, I would say.

By the way, good catch, too, @IcyHot

@parisenforce I do like what I see, although you mixed a lot of different styles (Amsterdam with Latin Pack, for example),
but right now, it looks quite good!!!

 

There's nothing wrong with mixing packs!

Nice previews so far! Looking forward to see more

 

Btw, @raulv87 , your city looks quite like some Eastern European Industrial Metropolis, a good candidate for the most realistic city part
Also, don't forget RHM smoothness

@ ALL: do not forget to make back ups! Regularly!

 

Yes, I thought about the most realistic city award. It's possible. We'll see. But RHM smoothness is my nightmare... and plazas .

 

can i keep my city as a secret ?

 

A secret that you can share with me.... *cough

 

Been workin on a larger city for this map... just a quick sneak peak. I really like everyones ideas/cities/towns.

 

A REALLY rough and incomplete road map layout... wouldnt let me post with my first post for some reason.

 

A look at I-70 corridor/I-45 interchange and stadium district.

An over-look at an unfinished downtown CBD / east downtown / and I-70 and I-270 loop interchange. (270 is the downtown loop.)

 

Lots of creativity with RHM, unfortunately, the districts look a bit boring and some buildings must have been placed without lots of planning thoughts.

 

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind moving forward

 

The Centennial Building being built downtown. It will house The International Police.
North of downtown retail area.

View down Capitol Dr.

 

You're a quick city builder aren't you? haha. Really liked the city view on the first photo. I like your overall city layout & epic RHM, but kinda confused with the city's theme. An American city with a little Europe district (Colosseum+opera house bundled area)? Also feel like there's alot of empty awkward gaps between buildings, not a fan of that.

Ok, done with my criticism! Hate sounding like a smartass, but that's my honest two cents.

 

Thanks for the feedback! I enjoy critiques so no hard feelings at all! Yeah I built the city rapidly and now and going back into targeted areas and "re-vamping" to give each neighborhood and area it's own unique setting/feel. So a lot of the little meticulous work is being done after the city has expanded. I find it hard to build the little details if I can't see the whole city coming together. As far as the European district/area goes, I just wanted to get a feel of what the buildings looked like together and where I should incorporate them. It is definitely an American city, but I wanted to play with the European angle too... I might just bulldoze that whole area though if it comes out weird. :/ So I'm just as confused as you are haha

 

Well, you can still incorporate European Parts. Just look at that big cathedral in Washington DC
Maybe take a smaller church (either in game or a mod) and recreate such a little hill with the church on top.
With a bit of patience, it will surely look good!

 

I love that idea! More to come.....
