Well Austin55, you werent here when these where on SSP Cityscape.

Well, back in October 2006, Staunton was positively coming along great. But I got bored of it, so Staunton Stopped Production.

And, here is was Oceanside, California

I'm sure many of you remember it!

Oceanside was a New kind of Metropolis, in Contrast to Staunton, Oceanside was a bright city, with a population of 900,000 to 1 Million, smaller than Staunton. The City was squeezed between LA and San Diego and was one of America's greatest cities. The crime crackdown of 2000 and anti-drug war helped the city improve from its "meh" 90's.

After 9/11, while Staunton collapsed, Oceanside only improved.

The city was very sucessful, COMworld, a multibillion Enterprise had its headquarters in the 76 Floor Comworld Tower, taller than the original Galcorp Tower (I raised up One Galcorp a while back for better prominence). The City had rolling plazas, palm trees, and lovely modern Skyscrapers. Many of those tenants where such as JCsummit, RegionBank, World Entertainement (Headquartered in Hollywood), PalmBank, and Lewis & Clark financial (which has yet to move its offices to New Jersey).

Of course, some of you already know the story.

My Computer Crashed.
December 2006.

So, all I had was an old Backed up version of Staunton. The only thing left of Oceanside was the thread (which is long gone now).

And of course, Staunton was lost too.

I did resume Staunton shortly before the crash, Imagine if my computer never crashed, I wonder what Staunton would have looked like today.

Hmm, I wonder if it would have looked better,

I've saved all the Oceanside pics shortly before the thread was deleted, I'll show em' if anyone wants to see more!

Austin55 · #11 Posted **Jul 9, 2007, 8:40 AM**

foxmtbr · #12 Posted **Jul 9, 2007, 9:01 AM**

^ We've had quite a few of them. It's been a while though...

Peter · #13 Posted **Jul 10, 2007, 1:23 AM**

I was inspired by most of those other cities you guys had on here like the first Staunton, Oceanside, Sun City, and Praesidium (did I spell it right??). I didn't post much at all. I think I did once or twice

well Patrick, don't be sad that you lost Oceanside and the first Staunton, because the current Staunton is the greatest SketchUp city ever made!! (in my opinion, but they're all wonderful) I would love to see more pics of Oceanside.

Mocholate · #14 Posted **Jul 10, 2007, 1:48 AM**

I would like to see more pics

Austin55 · #15 Posted **Jul 10, 2007, 4:41 AM**

yes more pics and a overview

Patrick · #16 Posted **Jul 10, 2007, 8:28 AM**

More Oceanside:

In contrast to Staunton's mammoth Galcorp Plaza, Oceanside had a much smaller Galcorp HQ.

One of the best pics I've ever done

more soon, I guess.

Isle Cristelle: Not so much a failure as much as a needed hiatus from the original City City for me. It was important because I used it as a testbed for many of the techniques, design ideas I'm employing in CCII (most notably, hills).

Peter · #18 Posted **Jul 10, 2007, 3:10 PM**

Patrick, it really is a shame Oceanside was lost. The building designs are stunning and actually very believable (as in, something I could see being built in a real city, like LA)

CGII, so do you plan on doing any more with Isle Cristelle? The terrain was such a great idea.

Austin55 · #19 Posted **Jul 10, 2007, 3:27 PM**

wow!!!

Maybe, I'm not quite sure as to how far I could get with it texture wise. It's supposed to have a Southern, Californian/Floridian feel to it, and my texture set for that style is rather limited (whereas City City gets all of my bountiful Chicago and Milwaukee textures).
The terrain is coming back, however, for the suburban parts of City City. The hills won't be as tall, but they'll be as steep, in parts.
