Nice teaser and thanks for the link!   

[Battlecat]

Fantastic update!  Interesting use of the flowers on the shoreline of that river!  The small part of that train station I can see there in Hixon looks fantastic as well!

[Tomas Neto]

My friend, great work!!! Awesome both images!!! Fantastic teaser!!! 

[Cyclone1001]

Looks really good, but the river area looks a little too 'uniform' so I suggest mixing up the grasses and such around it! But anyways, good work all around!

Update 8 - Hixon

Alright, here's Hixon in it's entirety !

8.01
Here's a town overview.

8.02
And here's a night view, just because

8.03
This is the small community of Colgrove, just a residential block a kilometre away from Hixon, being built.

8.04
And here it is complete.

8.05
Colgrove Church, the oldest building in Hixon, built in 1866, by the family of Joseph Hixon.

8.06
The Cascadian Railway Network (CRN) passes through Hixon. Lots of passengers commute with the CRN, so every town it passes through have modern, well-equipped rail stations.

8.07
Where do they think they're going? There isn't anything in the direction they are heading.

8.08
A solitary pedestrian walking through the middle of nowhere? Smart.

8.09
Almost road kill there. There was three of them crossing earlier, and caused a car accident.

8.10
Since when are llamas amphibians?

8.11
And the finished pond. No llamas drowned in the making of this pond .

8.12
Just for Bernhard (Nardo69).

canyonjumper, I could have forgiven the flare (I don't like too much PS) and I wouldn't have said anything if there were only one level crossing but two of them so close to each other - no way! 

Better?

8.13
And next time...Duncan. I'm trying out a new turning lane mod, so let me know what you think.

And that was Update 8! See you guys next time!

[Cyclone1001]

Where did you get those paths in the last pic? Oh yeah, looks nice (amphibian llamas, what a joke. We all know they are reptiles!

[mightygoose]

great update there, maybe don't go quite so overboard on the flowers, but other than that, fantastic shots.

[Battlecat]

Nice looking update!  The homes and dirt tracks facing the railway are particularly eye catching, how did you pull that off?

[sumwonyuno]

The pictures of the town are great!  Heh, there are a lot of pedestrians on that bridge. 

[Nexis4Jersey]

Interesting update , i like the extra detail around the creeks and ponds

~Corey

[Tomas Neto]

Awesome update!!! Fantastic city, and florest too!!! 

[Rady]

Good update! I really like the first pic - it's perfect how this little village fits into the clearing of that forest. ALso the rail passing through with that dirt roads aside looks very natural!

[Nanami]

What a nice town!

[jimbo_jj]

Very nicely done! Must be peaceful there ... except when the trains pass through.

Cyclone1001: Thanks! And those paths are Shadow Assassins Cycleways (New-looking or Old-looking).

mightygoose: Thanks, and now, looking back in retrospect, I realize that I did indeed go overboard on the flowers .

Battlecat: Thank you! Those are actually lots that I found somewhere on the STEX. I tried looking for them, but no luck. The only clue I have is that they were uploaded sometime in 2003.

sumwonyuno: Thank you! I have no idea why there was so many pedestrians on the bridge.

Corey (Nexis4Jersey): Thanks!

Tomas Neto: Thanks alot!

Rady: Thank you Rady!

976: Thanks!

jimbo_jj: Thank you and yes I imagine it is!

Update 8½

This is the first in a series of four updates about various vacation and resort towns around Cascadia. Each update will feature the town itself, and the various resorts, campgrounds, hotels, or motels around it. First up, Ashcroft.

9¼.01
Ashcroft was founded in 1967 by a group of loggers and their families as a temporary settlement meant to be disassembled when the nearby forests were cut down.

9¼.02
However, now in 2011 the town has thrived.

9¼.03
Nearby Nepa Lake has attracted resorts and vacation homes. This one is for sale for CCD$3.5M. Previously owned by the Meaden Family, it has 5 bedrooms and a master suite, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, basement suite, study, dining room and attic. 2 floors plus a basement and an attic. Designed by the renowned Matt325, this home is very spacious, and has a pool.

9¼.04
This home on the outskirt of the area is secluded, but provides quick access to the Nepa Lake Provincial Campsites. This home is brand new, and is available for CCD$2M. 4 bedrooms and a master suite, 3 bathrooms, dining room and study. This one too, designed by Matt325, who has done most of the houses around Ashcroft.

9¼.05
And here's a shot of the farms on the other side of town.

9¼.06
And one last pic of Ashcroft. Note how the town has expanded over the hill.

And that was Part One of this update. Next time we will have Crescent Point, a small resort municipality on the Sunshine Coast.

Thank you for reading !

I need 3.5M CCD right now. That house looks perfectly secluded.
In the second to the last picture, what is happening with that building near the road curve?

[djvandrake]

 

Well done.  Great shot of the under construction houses.
