Jen's version of Shosaloza...

jen_p · December 26, 2006, 06:12:15 PM

Well here it is. My version of Shosaloza. This is take two, because my first version was destroyed when my computer blue-screened whilst saving the major city.

First off, I used a different map. There's nothing wrong with the map that Colyn chose for this game, but it just didn't inspire me. So here's what I chose to work with. Essentially, it is the same size, and has some rather challenging mountainous areas. I am still trying to achieve the same results as everyone else. Here's the map that I used (with some development from version 1):

And here's some shots of the first big city I've been working on:

Stay tuned for more later....

Holy cow, you can do that with mountains?? Yowza, I'm impressed! In the first pic lower left corner, what is that bldg (the one with the spiky thing in the middle)? Looking forward to seeing more updates.

Here's a mosaic of a low-wealth suburb, near an industrial hub:

The houses are one of my current projects, the lots are a work in progress.

Welldone creating these suburbs on mountainous terrain

That is a cool region Jen. You picked the perfect spot for your Downtown area. The suburb on the slopes is looking awesome. Where in the region did you build that (I cannot locate the highway in the regional view #?¿?¿?$

bat · December 27, 2006, 07:26:33 AM

Great work, but where do you get these houses with white-grey roofs?

Colyn · December 27, 2006, 08:34:13 AM

I like this map ... BAT ... the houses are from her current project and is still in BETA testing.

Brilliant stuff, jen. The housing commission homes look so realistic in this layout

jen_p · December 28, 2006, 02:57:28 PM

Glad everyone likes this. Here is another mosaic, this one is of the aforementioned industrial area.

When I get a chance I'll post an updated region/transportation shot.

jacqulina · December 28, 2006, 03:24:29 PM

wonderfull work jen,you sure know how to build a city

Alfred.Jones · December 28, 2006, 03:32:04 PM

Very nice mosaic. I really like the industrial area

jen_p · December 29, 2006, 12:49:14 AM

Here's the promised region shots:

sebes · December 29, 2006, 02:04:48 AM

Great work again Jen P. I like how your highways sneak between two hills from valley to valley. Though I think the airport looks better without a mountain blocking the runway

But on the other end: it's green, environmental probably the best airport....

bat · December 29, 2006, 02:06:02 AM

Great mosaic!

Great new region overviews!

I have one more mosaic for you now, probably the last mosaic for a little while. I need to do some more serious city building before I can show you large portions of a city. This mosaic is quite a long one, and shows both the residential and industrial parts of the city.
