Congrats for the first time in the OSITM-section! Looking forward to more updates in this month...

kbieniu7 · April 02, 2009, 06:55:59 AM

Congratulations

I hope you'll build more and more Motorways

tooheys · April 03, 2009, 01:31:57 AM

You certainly have a knack for road networks, in particular your RHW intersections are great, I know how long it can take to get all the pieces in the right place

Some of the road layouts look a bit chaotic but I like the way you fit it all together.

Congrats on OSITM

Great Update, gotta thank you for the direction to the signs. The seaport and rail are sweet and RHW are wait........... are those new textures I see?

Correct. And they're available on the STEX since 31st March

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!

Maarten, I don't mind at all that you decided to showcase your Motorway Madness in Sebeshaber. It seems the town is always number one in some kind of transportation revolutions.... so no complaints from my side

The intersection in Zuidplaats is realy a masterpiece. Did you ever consider a carreer with Rijkswaterstaat?

I haven't finished middle school yet

But I do consider to study Civil Engineering at the TU Delft.

Cool update! That's a lot of very complex highways there! I like that texture you're working on.

Quote from: bat on February 26, 2009, 10:10:38 AM
Another great update there! Your city looks with the nice highways really fantastic!

Quote from: Simpson on February 26, 2009, 11:34:25 AM
Incredible update my friend, the euro textures for the RHW are super, great work on them

Quote from: mightygoose on March 18, 2009, 12:01:43 PM
images 16 & 17 are screaming for a sunken highway... otherwise awesome update man, truly fantastic.

Well, maybe a sound wall could be a fitting solution...

WOW! What a great honour that Imaginia is in OSITM section

That means I'll have to make some nice updates here. I'll be revisiting Konrad tomorrow and I'll show a teaser today!

Thanks again!

Teaser Time!
I've been working hard on the gouvernmental complex of Imaginia today. Here's the result:

A full update about Konrad is planned tommorrow!

Best,
Maarten

sebes · April 05, 2009, 02:27:54 AM

ít's tomorrow today.. awaiting anxiously the full display of Konrad/Hoogerhey

The teaser looks very promissing!

MandelSoft · April 05, 2009, 05:46:20 AM

The last time that I've shown Konrad to you, a lot has changed. The Brinasken Area (including Guilliano, Sebeshaber and Shosaloza) wasn't there, there wasn't any news about the RHW 3.0, the HRS was in it's starting stages, and my city building skills where not as good as they currently are. That gave me problems when I tried to update Konrad with my new city building skills (leaving some bottlenecks in the road network). Here are some changes that I would like to notice:

- Konrad has 500,000 inhabitants (which is more than the number of inhabitants in The Hauge). This is my personal record.
- The High Speed Rail and the Monorails are replaced by an Elevated rail.
- The A7 in the center of Konrad is now a RHW-6C
- I've builded some Green Belts around the motorways
- The A106 is now the N106
- A large part of the N101 is renumbered as the N15 (and a part of the A15 is renumbered as the A101)
- All airports in Konrad are removed (we wouldn't like planes colliding with buildings, do we?)
- Konrad hosts today a worthy Gouvernmental Complex

OK, enough talking, let's show the pictures:

That is one amazing update. Congrats on the OSITM. In picture 19, you sure have a hell of a lot of plaoma towers!

jmvl · April 08, 2009, 06:25:33 AM

Excellent update, Maarten!

The Konrad Sight-seeing Tour is so great, I've enjoyed it so much! The Konrad Gouvernmental Complex is so huge, and those buildings look beautiful. Did you BAT them all by yourself? Also, congratulations with your OSITM, you deserve it!

Nexis4Jersey · April 09, 2009, 09:02:21 PM

Maarten , your highways are absolutely stunning and your cities look amazing

Sciurus · April 11, 2009, 05:36:20 AM

There's a lot changed in the country since I showed the last Areal View. So here you have the latest Areal View of Imaginia, complete with 62 town/citynames, 5 areanames, 5 rivers, 2 lakes and the sea:

Happy Easter!

What a great region overview! Wonderful work on Imaginia!
And Happy Easter to you, too!

Nice overview

MandelSoft · April 29, 2009, 06:28:31 AM

Oh, I forgot to notice: I've posted this MD in the new City Journal section on ST.
The CJ is called Imaginia 2.0[linkie]. You can look at my very first posts and comments of me looking back at my old cities.

Best,
Maarten
