Description Finally! A new preview. Progress has been slow though.

Changes: Added more roads, added new streetlights and a couple of roadsigns. Ditch + Low bridge. Finished the first block of houses.

Zoomed in 200% so you can see what detailing goes in. I still have to add bushes, people and more cars.

Edit: Forgot to add a couple of shadows.

BoxedTown is back! Good to see your pixel work make a return.

There's not much to comment on yet, but I'm glad you shared the update with us. From what I can see, things are coming along nicely. I like the buildings a lot, especially the way you made them so detailed in such a small size. I don't think I could duplicate the pixel perfection you've created.

I'm impressed by your use of color as well. You didn't go with just a simple color scheme, nor did you blast us with vibrance and shine. The colors work, and they work well.

Looking forward to a larger, more complete BoxedTown. Can't wait to see it!

Thanks a lot man, you always write decent, appreciatable comments.

The amount of work needed to complete what I have in mind for BoxedTown 3 will be much larger than BoxedTown 2. I can only hope to finish it this year.

Phenomenal. A lattice on one of the fences and a crack in a flat? That boggles my mind, detail wise.

I CANNOT wait to see the end result. I think I might have a stroke when I see it...

howling In reply to flotsamjetsom [2005-01-16 11:11:05 +0000 UTC]

Well I hope you can have your stroke this year then It's so much work to complete this.

Thanks!

I'm afraid since SimCity 4 they use 3D modeling tools and not old fashioned pixel art anymore

The shadows seem a little off -- from the streelights and stop sign, it looks like the sun is at a 45 degree angle. From the cars, it seems the sun is higher. From the corner building, it seems the sun is lower. (And the rest of the buildings seem to not case shadows, but I figure you just haven't gotten to them.)

Pff dat ziet er weer puik uit zeg.

De details zijn geweldig: Was aan het drogen op het dakterras, smerige dakpannen, bloemetjes bij het grafzerkje, de waanizinnig mooie schuifpui naar de tuin (midden bovenin), scheuren in de muren.. top!

wow ... looks like the beginning to a sit-com I saw once.

Schweet work dude!

ps - I was wondering if I could take one of these and animate it ... maybe in ASP or flash?

howling In reply to Scifer [2005-01-12 14:20:33 +0000 UTC]

A sit-com? Hey but thanks

Well it's nowhere near finished and i've had the idea to animate the entire town in Flash or something. Maybe. Sometime. I'm flattered you'd want to use my Town for it, but i'd have to decline - sorry.

Cool, Miami, nice and sunny - with the annual hurricane

We have lots, loads, millions of low bridges here. I mean - Holland - we're practically living on the sea bed without the water on top.
