Blackwater (with Islas Gemas)

[Shadow Assassin]

Is it just me or does it seem that the A and the M in the Atom logo seem to be hovering in mid-air?

Regardless... everything looks good, but I'd like to see more people on the streets.

[nedalezz]

Wow, amazing MD you got here. You certainly have a definite eye for detail.

I was wondering where I can find those walls seperating the beach from the town...they are great! Atleast thats how you make em look!

[vester]

Not sure if you got sulf the problem with the resolution, but here is it:

"C:\Games\simcity 4\Apps\SimCity 4.exe" -CustomResolution:enabled -r1440x900x32 -f -intro:off



Great MD

[Berethor]

Loooking forward for more

Personal replies:

M4346: Hey Marius! How wonderful to see you around again. Are you going to start your old journal up as well?

patfirefghtr: Thanks! I never thought that I would actually use that BAT, but then I thought "What the heck!" and just threw it in there - and I think it looks alright next to an amusement park like that... but it sure is one strange building, hehe...

thundercrack83: Thank you! It's always so nice to see you stop by around here.

rooker1: Thanks a lot! Never underestimate the older BAT:s, hehe...

kwakelaar: Thanks! Funny thing is, I didn't even remember downloading that plaza. I found it as a growable in the lot editor and turned it into a plop landmark. I don't even know who originally made it, but I really like the look of it.

Schulmanator: Yup! It's already started, soon all the beaches will be turned into open sky mines and every building will look like that.

ryalmighty1: Wow! Thank you so much!

bat: Thanks, as always, bat!

pvarcoe: Thanks! That is very kind of you. I'm eagerly awaiting more development of Teton, by the way...

Nisha: Thank you! My own cat sadly isn't half as cute - a 5 kg "backstreet mix" whos main interests are scaring the dog and complaining about the lack of food.

flame1396: Thanks! I would have never compaired myself to those people, so that is very kind of you. I don't really remember what those buildings are, but they are nonfunctional landmarks, so I think they are probably pretty old and probably from the STEX.

Shadow Assassin: Thank you! Hmmmmmmmm... I think you are right, they are hovering in midair, hehe... not much to do about that though.

nedalezz: Thanks! Those walls are CSX's Malta Waterfront, and they are available on the LEX.

vester: Thank you! And yes, that did work... never did think it would be that complicated, but I guess with older games like this you never know.

Berethor: Thanks a bunch!


Celebrating 600 comments!

Let me just savour it a minute, will ya? 600 comments is probably about twice the amount I expected to ever get when I started this journal. And, also, being the first (or second if you count 3RR... don't know if David's refering to it as a journal these days... if it had still been a journal we would all be helplessly behind for sure ) journal on this site to get to that number seems quite unlikely to me. But - we're here now, and I just wanted to say "Thank you so much!" to each and everyone who has stopped by and left a comment or more during the time Islas Gemas has been around. Thanks!

  Great job on 600! 

Here's to 600 more!

[thundercrack83]

Congrats again, my friend! I thought you were the first to 600, but I wasn't sure! And that celebratory mosaic--simply amazing! And there's only 390+ more comments until 1000!

[Pat]

[Shadow Assassin]

Oh wow, I just realised I posted comment #600.

Beauty of a mosaic, too.

[NikNik]

610!
490 to go!

Wowzers, it's been 4 pages since I visited. Time flies.

Thanks for Club Nick-Nick.
Here is a inside picture:




Wow that mosaic looks stunning!
The use of old (almost ancient bats) and new ones is very well done here. Great that nite pic, all colours come out great now.

Where do you find the time Emil to play so much SC4?

Take care.

[threeswept]

Yes, congrats on reaching such lofty heights with the comments. The journal is fantastic and I'm so glad to see such wonderful classic BATs from so long ago...some of which have long disappeared from other exchanges. The Playa del Paraíso mosaic is really, really great! What an awesome night shot!!

[Badsim]

Hi emilin ,

Cedric the Bad is back ...
OK , I've been half surprised half entertained by this tribute and subtle allusion to my quasi-exclusive interest (at least work so far) for urban environment . Thank you ... but take care .

I love everything since my last visit comment ... I  was on "Lurker Mod" these last weeks . I can just say like SA that it's a pity about no more people on the streets ...

Congratulations on the 600 comments milestone , this MD is a success and that's totally deserved .

To the next .

[nova vesfalo]
