hey there chicago-boi =)
good to see you here aswell.

without any further stuff, here my suggestions:

1) get rid of that shaddow-mod you´re using . i know you like it but it makes the shaddows look sooooo strange to me.

2) find a good water texture fitting to the region your city is located in. the sc4 one is just too... ewwww

3) try to build not too close to the edges and put some green stuff or edge-walls there instead

4) get rid of some of the bridges. they´re a bit too mush to me

the rest seems fine to me though =) especially the matter that there are not too many skyscrapers. it makes the whole thing look better to me.

Thanks all for the kind replies and criticism, my mod folder will be cleaned out this week so expect a bit of a different look to my future pics!

Well, this is just a teaser set of pics for tonight, until I can get the proper post ready ASAP; hopefully with some other cities added in as well!

Overview of Kina

[bat]

You have made there some great updates, zakuten!
The newest is a nice one!
And the industrial area is really good!

Looking forward to more...

[Pat]

zakuten, Kina is looking real good and I cant wait to see what you do with a new mods folder!!!

[zakuten]

Hah, thanks guys! Yeah, the teaser update got a little out of whack-- I should just learn and never put a timetable on anything. Anyway, I'm definitely going to change up the looks of the terrain. Not too much in terms of building changes yet. My full-folder-cleaning is a ways off yet. XP

nice update 

[Simpson]

This is a really fine MD, great work on your city

[zakuten]

Thanks all for the replies and the 1000 views! I know my dabbling isn't much, but your responses are what keep me going. Imagine, I could be even slower! 

[south park]

beautiful MD and great work on your city !!

[papab2000]

Very nice update  Your region looks very good 

[zakuten]

A new interchange of mine, as nicely compact as I could make it-- You'll see the rest of Eki-su soon, I promise!

[zakuten]

Another picture of my newer towns, this time of a small town called Utsuki Yama at night.

(Sorry for the car zot, I missed it hidden in the night lighting)



Also of note, Kohatsa has entered a Sim City Football/Soccer league over on SimSports! 

[zakuten]

Aaand yet another city not yet spotlighted here, Sana`e!

A young, quickly growing city, centrally planned by the government to take pressure off other industrial regions inland, with a deep-water port.


A lovely shot of downtown


Due to the rush to build, certain details had unfortunately been overlooked. For example, this:

This is the intersection of 1 and 1. That is to say, Expressway 1 crosses this image from left-to-right, and National 1 crosses this from top to bottom. As you can see, this is a substandard junction. However, at the moment, the government has frankly no idea how best to rebuild, as any high-capacity junction would substantially disrupt the area both residentially and comercially.

As a side note: Thank the NAM team and Fukuda (as I understand it, my apologies if I'm wrong) for creating -this- little switching beauty:



As always, everyone, you're welcome to comment and if a certain city strikes your eye, tell me, and I'll be sure to bring you an update from it!

[Ryan B.]

Very nicely done, zakuten!     I look forward to seeing more!

[zakuten]

Thanks! I hope to get another up this week, but you know how I schedule things--  Anyways, feel free to do more in-depth commentary, as long as it's not about Kohatsa having too many bridges!  Of course, still taking suggestions for which towns to showcase.

In other news, Kara`i's team has also joined the soccer league, and is doing quite well!

[Lilojame]

Hi! Nicely done MD. I on another hand like bridges.  I would just suggest that you put 1-line of empty space between the pictures that you post. Hope to see an update soon. 

[zakuten]

Thanks again!

OK, so then! I think I'll do an informal poll; would people like to see more of Kohatsa district or of Kara`i district?

[NASCAR_Guy]

I like the interchange in the second pic.

[flyinbird93]

some great work here!  hope you release some more soon

[zakuten]

Small update this time; just a little overhead shot of Eki-su's main downtown.



Remember everyone, feedback on which cities to showcase would be appreciated! I don't quite have the hang of all this yet~!
