(Archive) Advertising District / Disney's America

this is my new favorite topic in the AD. i see some connections to Turtle's and RCTFan's work. it's looking really good guys, keep it up.

Really good work guys! You got just the right amount of detail without going overboard.

Keep up the quality work.

this is good stuff....

can't wait for more

Thanks for the comments everyone!

highball: Thanks! We don't really need concept art, though. Because nin wanted to make this for a while before we started, he had concept art ready.

Cam: The colors aren't the brightest because it's meant to be similar to Liberty Square at the MK, which doesn't have the brightest colors.

TNT: Wait, and you'll see...

Louis, zodiac, RCTNW, and Milo: Thanks! It's nice to get good comments from people whose work has inspired me...

As of now, the work's been mine, but nin has the park the whole week, so I have no clue about what's going on now. Keep an eye on the topic, just in case, and keep the comments coming. We love 'em!

Really great stuff... sorry for no comments sooner.
There's tons of atmosphere in all of those screens. The architecture is just so tastefully done. Your facades are varied enough to keep each building unique and interesting, but it all meshes together really well. I certainly get the colonial feel from it. I guess the only thing I don't really like are the trees trapped behind the facade. It's ok along an outside edge near the path or behind the building structure, but within looks kind of awkward. From a realistic standpoint, they probably either wouldn't survive or would outgrow their enclosure pretty quickly. But that's really a minor thing-- loving the way it looks.

I'm always impressed by people that take on Disney parks because I know I could never do it (not enough opportunity for large coasters and rides). Looking forward to how you work rides and coasters into this while still keeping the Disney feel. Good luck!

^ I'm not sure, but my guess is that the trees in the facade would be artificial and only to give a more woodsy look behind the buildings. At least, I've done something like that before, and that was my reasoning behind it.

Anyways, great work so far. I'm very interested in seeing how this goes. I've long wanted to see this park made.

Normally I'm all for it but for something of this caliber I kinda wish you wouldn't show every building you've built so far. It kinda ruins the surprise of the download and IMO makes it much harder to finish something.
Maybe just a full sized screen or two of each area.

Other then that my only criticism would be to change the color of the foliage behind the buildings to the standard ones.

The architecture is fantastic by the way.

So it's been a while since we've last had an update, and its gonna be a little while more! Due to H2H5, both nin and I have had little time with the park. However, because a month is a long time to go w/o anything new in a topic, we figured we might as well give you something to last until the next large update.

Here are two teasers for each of our individual projects as of now.

Enjoy! Comments are welcome.

it's looking great but I think that with your screen (ToT right?) the path combined with the roof makes it way to busy. A simpler path would make it look better... maybe just a light brown tarmac.

i agree with milo. while the building is fantastic, i can't deny that, it looks far too busy with the path. a change would help it a lot. other than that, the screens are fantastic. nin's reminds me a lot of some of CP6's work.

CP6? Really? I don't think the two are anything alike.

I concur with the path suggestions.

Keep that path, it looks really elaborate and ornamental.

Indeed, the path is awesome. Change the roof instead, they're far more busy and moreover they don't fit the RCT2 graphics.

I like the path.

i like the building and i like the path, but the colors just dont match in my opinion. if i were you i would change the color of the roof

i love both the path and the green roof. the business is exactly its strong point, in my opinion. really phenomenal screen. what map size is this project?

Second page quote.



It's really stunning, I love it all.
You two are doing a great job!

I love the trolley in the second screen, great job.

I don't know why, but that gate in the second screen looks awesome.
