(Archive) Advertising District / Legacies Themepark - Europe

That looks very nice. Doing nordic themes can be difficult but I really think you pulled it off here! The little roofed sitting area in the middle of the square is incredible. Just one thing - have you tried mixing upp the table colours? Or changing something else around so that the two table areas seem less "copy & paste".

i love the simplicity of it.

@JDP: Thanks.

@Splitvision: Thanks! Good to hear from a viking. I haven't tried mixing up the table colours... This makes sense here. I understand what you mean with copy%paste, I'll look what I can do! The tables stay as they are though.

@zodiac: Sometimes I'm afraid people will think it's TOO simplistic, so this is great to hear. Thanks!



Any more replies are greatly appreciated.

The big brown building looks out of propertion there Liampie, and I don't onderstand the random fences at the top of the buildings (some of them have it). The (schoorsteen?) on the orange building would look better in less then 3 colors I think, that is a little messy detail for me. 

Oh, it would make this screen so much better if you made the benches round (4 sides) while remaining them being peepable.(ik denk dat jij wel weet hoe dit moet, anders leg ik het je uit). 

Edit; Forgot to tell, the rest of the screen is pure brilliance.

I hope you've got a Pölse stand somewhere in this area, if not be sure to add one! It is THE danish thing. Pölse means sausage so it's basically a hotdog stand, though I think they're slighty larger and have a more reddish colour than usual hotdogs. You can think of it as the Danish equivalent of pizzerias in Italy.

They are definitely not larger.. You eat them with Remoulade sauce, pickles, fried onions, ketchup, and yes, they are red. And extremely expensive, since everything is expensive in Scandinavia. They are all around the place, in hotdog stands, to be eaten as a snack. Much unlike pizza's which are eaten in pizzarias, in Italy.

The screen pictures Copenhagen really well. I'm impressed.

@Cena: Out of proportion? It's just a fat tower! I don't get what you mean with the random fences... You mean the tackles? The 'schoorsteen' (chimney ) won't change, every colour serves a purpose: The same type of bricks in the whole building, a rusty pipe coming out of the bricks and black dust inside the pipe.

I don't know how to the bench trick but I don't need it right now... First I have to finish the park without hitting the object limit.

Glad you like the rest!

@That Guy: If I remember correctly your post was different before you edited it... What was in it? Don't be afraid to tell, I already read it and just don't remember. Thanks.

@Splitvision: I thought they were called Medisters... I remember those red sausages. They look very toxic but taste good. They are already included. Thanks for the usefull suggestion!

@Evil WME: I wouldn't call them extremely expensive... Just expensive. For the same money you could buy 1,5 frikandel at the Febo I think... Stupid comparison.

Great to hear you like it!

Pretty nice stuff. Tho on the windows that hack never really looks right, maybe make a new object that's a little longer.

^EvilWME - Right, it was long ago I was in Denmark, plus I never ate the thing, good you made things straight. But I meant they are as symbolic to Denmark as pizzas are for Italy.

Liam - In danish it's Pölse, or actually Pølse if you use the danish letters.

Liampie, it was a stupid misunderstanding... I saw a screen (Which must've been posted by Cena) and without looking at the name I guess I assumed it was from you, and posted my thoughts on the screen.
It seems to be gone now anyway, though.

Edit: Actually, I might've thought this was the dump.

@Kumba: Nice idea, I will do that. Not in every case though... In this screen only the white building. Thanks!

@That Guy: Okay whatever!

The last screenshot is looking stellar, Liam! Great colour schemes going on, and nice details; they're just right.

Thanks

Great colours and good atmosphere.

Sometimes it looks a bit simple like the white house.
Moreover the windows on this house looks ugly, sorry.

Looking forward to more!

Here's more. More deleted stuff.



Crap.



Test.



Just had to move for something else.



This was my best (unifinished though) attempt at some building that's one of the hardest I ever tries. I spent months on finding a good looking one, and this has been the best one for quite a long time. Until a few months ago.



Had to move.



Replaced by a much better queue.



Had to move.

Next update is new stuff again!

So this is stuff that you killed? I must say I'm glad you did, because to be honest I don't really like anything in any of those screens. It seems to be way below your standard, you can really show awesomely incredible stuff one day and close-to-crap stuff the other. If the stuff you built in place of what you shown is at the same level as the latest Copenhagen screen, you are forgiven.

Liampie, here is just my opinion;

If you would have stayed with what you have got, and finished it a while ago, and moved on to a new project, you would have had this finished, right? And had time for a new project, because, now it seems, you are deleting old stuff, in 2 or 3 months when you build another area, the oldest (what you still liked now) looks then outdated etc, and you remove that, when that is rebuild, something else looks outdated again, can you see where this is going too? Maybe set some lower standerds to yourself, and keep existing stuff, and finish it. Even tough it may only score gold (I expect higher somehow), you then have more experience and time for a new and better project. 

Cena, you have no idea. Most of the stuff I build stays on the map forever. I just don't want to keep anything I'm not satisfied with, unless I have no choice (h2h5...). I'd rather have 1 release a year I'm satisfied with than 10 releases that easily could've been better.

First screen the toilets building is a bit crap to be honest.
Orange doesn't work in the second screen.
The third screen is awesome.
4th, 5th, 7th, elements seem awkward.
I like the queue in the 6th screen
