this map is pretty much all the whole midwest in a nutshell and i love it

 

thank you that was the inspiration, as a michigander I have firsthand experience

 

who knows what secrets lie beyond those doors...

DOWNLOAD

--- Post updated ---
I also found a year-old version that I'm gonna fix up and share for all of you to mess around with

 

sorry, bad upload! the new version is actually out now.

also to be released soon: the old Feb. 2024 demo
--- Post updated ---

the demo will also include fixed textures as a lot of them are broken

 

this project is NOT dead!

I've been working on the downtown area heavily these past couple days. I'm pivoting from the original "modular" system to a new system. In the new system, all the buildings in a block will be ONE model instead of many, much like they are in West Coast USA. This approach is being combined with a push to make it as accurate to the real world location it's based on as possible. It's still in the untextured blockout phase, but here's what's done so far:





In the coming days, I plan on having ALL of the blocks on one side of the road pushed through blockout phase, ready for the art pass.

Stay tuned

 

Do you plan to add a freeway (Controlled access one specifically) to this map?

 

Yes! The main double road will not only duck down into a tunnel in the east end (compared to real life everything is rotated 90° east) but the west end will funnel into/out of a highway.

 

how big is the map

 

8192 squared, judging by the terrain.json file

also hospital

 

Three brand new screenshots from what I've been working on.

 

10 km is not massive :sob:

 

Massive by base game standards
Probably more mid-sized by modded map standards

 

How has progress been?

 

It's been coming along. I've spread development between the actual big city and the small city's downtown area. There's this huge tunnel (16km of just tunnel) that connects the two. Here, I'll throw out a handful of progress pictures that show off a little of what's been cooking behind the scenes.

 

looks super cool keep up the good work!
