The City, old version
In May of 2016, I made a post about my Minecraft project, consisting of a city built in Survival Mode around a naturally-generated village.
I kept working on some neighborhoods throughout the summer, and I'm still planning to make a little video in the future where I'll probably be smoothly cruising around the city's boulevards and avenues, capturing some vantage points and buildings of interest.
But now is time for a little update! Can you spot the differences between these uNmINeD screenshots?
The City, September 2016
(Hint for the lazier of you guys : look mostly to the West)
Ok, and a lil' cheap GIF for the laziest!
Cheap GIF for the laziest
Very bad GIF, sorry! See here for the non-cancerous version (thanks to FunkyH) : http://imgur.com/YGomygn
Aaaaaaaand a few screenshots of what's new!
The West rises!
An overview of the new western district, with brand new skyscrapers looming over more traditional buildings (church and museum). The Colossus stands in the background, stil looking at Oldtown and Downtown (not visible from that point).
Welcome to Authoritarianland
Behind the modern Agora district now blooms a neighborhood of massive stone buildings, large avenues and monuments, built around a huge fountain. Some of these constructions are only a few weeks old, or even a few days old! Expanding this area is my main goal at the moment.
What's new in the North
This is part of a long-term plan to expand the City north of the Parliament, as I wanted to do since forever. It's a very mineral and modern neighborhood, very different from Oldtown.
A glimpse of the future
I really enjoyed working on that building!
Postcard from the City!
I have fun with shaders sometimes, altough they make the game run very badly (10 fps if I'm lucky). Here are some spots I already showed you in the past, because you guys have earned it.

Hssssssssssssssssssss boom... Welp, time to start a new world, I guess.

Is there any way to get a copy of the map save? It looks fun to explore
jodelijodela
Isn’t it lonely there?
MittenMagick
Time to go on a Cities: Skylines binge.

@LeTravailleur that gif was amazing. 0,1 sec on the first frame and 2 sec on the second. I can really see whats going on. :p
TrijezniMujo
Can we download it? Also, protip: make a subway.
LeTravailleur
The City is very walkable. There is a subway (three lines, only one has been completed), but its purpose is very limited... Free Cobble! :D

Please give a save file?
Bottombirch15
what shader did you use in the pic with the fog?
LeTravailleur
Sonic Ether's Unbelievable Shaders :)

Well slap my titties and call me Barbara, that's a cool city.

Stranger...Things?
LeTravailleur
*Slaps* Hello Barbara, and thank you very much!
DeathDealerJP
complete with smog!

where are the villagers?
killaPieKing
I just had a stroke
Ultrafire3
Any1 familiar with project Zearth?
Tkeleth
Have you tried Mr Meeps shaders? I get very little frame rate impact, and they still look good.

Oink.
RandomTechpriest
How you doin'?
HafCoJoe
@OP is the whole thing populated by squidwards or just the village?
herrniemand
But I bet the villagers just cluster in one corner of it.
ZPnesisepicenic
This is the Minecraft stuff we are OK with.
Tylendal
+1 for survival. Just not as impressive otherwise.
LeTravailleur
Yeah, in a way the City kept a scale and feeling similar to a NPC village, so it's way smaller than those huge projects some people do!
CookieMonstersCrumbs
Now that's how you do a minecraft post. That looks fantastic @OP and makes me want to fire up mine again.
ChesterSnapdragonMcFisticuff
Now you gotta turn the mines under the city into catacombs. Complete with neatly stacked skulls
LobsterKingLarry
All on survival! Thats a crazy amount of time to dedicate
starscape678
Imagine the resources you'd need to collect... All the processing and crafting, and then clearing all the needed space...
KnightOfTheBlackRose
Wow, this is really cool! Great work, @OP
LeTravailleur
Thanks!
Ronnystigs92
@OP is it safe to assume that this was all done in creative mode? Because otherwise I would feel even more inferior to you...
LeTravailleur
About 99,8% of it is Survival. The Agora pavement + one midrise were done in Creative mode, and I immediately gave up! It wasn't fun ;)
OtterAvalanche
This is really freaking cool man
HolaDEA
@OP Any chance of you uploading the map in it's current state for download?
LeTravailleur
Maybe soon! Many people are asking for a link, but first I need to complete some unfinished stuff :)
HolaDEA
Do let me know if you upload it, I don't play much anymore but I love seeing quality maps
FishLords
When the Fuck did Minecraft turn into this? Back in my day it was hitting trees with your hand and building mountain-dicks out of gold.
turtlesinthesky
But minecraft started as a creative building game
jtb1313
I like both but now you can get mending enchantment so your gear lasts forever
SkylaKitty
Then it got overrun by 12 year olds
Hulkhulkthehulkinghulk
But fish lords is saying it got/looks better, so you're implying the 12 year olds vastly improved the game?
Zebulin
Yes.
Hulkhulkthehulkinghulk
interesting hypothesis
ElegantKitty
It's been like this for a looooong time. lol.
FishLords
My day was a looooong time ago.
ElegantKitty
When I used to own/run a top tekkit server we had things like this built all the time as it was a RP server.
Homersbackfat
It came out like six years ago, right?
FishLords
Well, long in Minecraft time anyway.
CallsignBacon
The kids grew up and became creative
KillingTlme
The kids grew up and now they don't go to school or work and have no social life.
BourbonBuck
Creative? I think the gold dick is more creative than a city.
Mobileuserwholikestoberandom
Haha, it's funny cause it only came out 6 years ago.
laggythetree
You are telling me the friday song is older than minecraft?!!
ItsMorphinTimeIdiot
Wow, it feels like its been at least 10
lofar
Still, a 21 yr old is a lot less of a kid than a 15 yr old.
Mobileuserwholikestoberandom
True, true...
