After I told myself, "Never again," I started working on a new world tentatively titled, "Pottersville." Just posting this so people know that yes, CAW is very much alive and yes, players are still creating worlds.

Don't have much in place yet. Just trying to flesh out different areas of the world.

Here is the po' side of town:

Waterside park:

Cascading plaza, which will be series of raised platforms:

Will post more pics as I go along.

    Did more work on the main plaza/Downtown area. Still not sure about some of the buildings I'll have in the finalized version. In any event, it'll be a plateau of white plazas that cascade down a series of white steps. It's still pretty bare right now because I haven't added any trees or decor yet:

    Love the steps idea, it makes the main plaza look very grand :)

    @Bettyboop55 Thanks. That was the idea! (To look grand, majestic.) Hopefully,it'll look even grander when I add more stuff. :)

    Great work so far! I always have to admire the work and patience that goes into creating worlds. You world builders have much more patience than I do! I can hardly finish making a house. Lol

    Hey, everyone. Looks like I'm back working on this world. Sorry for the long hiatus, but there were lots of things happening offline. Plus, I wound up losing my hard drive at some point (also losing progress on some of the worlds I'd been working on) and became so discouraged that I quit CAW. In any event, without further ado...

    Welcome back! ^_^ Oh maaaan losing your harddrive that's rough...glad to see you get over that hump. This world is looking very nice. Love the multilayered ground levels in the downtown section.

    Thanks. It was the first time that had ever happened to me in 20 plus years of computing. It was particularly upsetting, because I always back up my stuff, so the drive failure happened the one time I didn't (but of course... :|).

    I haven't disappeared, LOL. I've been busy laying down roads, highways, etc.:

    Some other pics to show some of the progress I've made so far. Keep in mind that I still haven't placed key details yet (like terrain painting, billboards, etc.), so things may look a little bare:

    @fxchrfxchr : Thanks a lot! <3

    Just fleshed out an area of Pottersville called "Co-op City". It's not finished yet, though; I have a lot of terrain painting and some other finishing touches to do.

    Hello again!

    I fleshed out some more of the world over the past two weeks and have some in-game shots. Keep in mind that the world is far from finished and is missing a lot of finishing touches (terrain paint, landscaping, etc.). This is just a preview.

    City Hall and Downtown at night. (Half roundabout is still unfinished):

    Downtown again:

    Co-Op City at dawn. Still unfinished. It's currently missing three Bridgeport Towers in the background (I removed them temporarily), so if the sky looks a little bare, don't worry. I'll be adding them back soon:

    Screenshot-1384.jpg

    The beach. It's still unfinished, as well as the large hill with the radio towers. I should be working on that area shortly:

    Did some more work this past week, a little bit of terrain painting, laying down of roads and some landscaping. Keep in mind that this is pretty much a "rough draft." There'll be more detail added in the near future:

    I love the look and layout of this world!
  • ts1depotts1depot Posts: 1,438 Member
    @TombRaider_ : Thanks! Glad you like what you see so far. Hopefully, the world won't fail to disappoint once completed.

    I have some more updates. I've been testing out the area that I call "Cascade Plaza." It was a bit difficult working out routing because it's all a series of stepped platforms. It looks sparse because I haven't fleshed it all out yet. I am currently adding more stuff now that routing seems to be working fine:
