Title: Metropolis
Post by: Tobs on January 11, 2015, 02:15:27 am
Metropolis

This is the elusive Metropolis build thread, which is a project that a group of SMP staff members begun a long, long, long... Long, time ago.


Ever wanted to see Metropolis?
Well, now you can using /j Metropolis or view it on the live map:

This map is fixed, but updates as soon as a new tile is rendered:

Below I've put together a FAQ...

What is Metropolis?
"Metropolis" if you haven't already taken a guess from the name is, a large and modern  looking city consisting of a large downtown area full of big skyscrapers, home of OptiCorp, large roads, an industrial area, large sandy bridges, the Metropolis suspension bridge, the OptiStadium and a lot more to come.

Who is working on it, can I join?
I'm not going to say you can't ask, but if the answer is no don't ask again (the answer will most likely be a no, sorry). This doesn't mean you can't contribute! If you've made a nice looking skyscraper and think it'd look nice in the world, feel free to send me a message on the forums with some pictures and I'll happily take a look if it's decent (remember, the floor in metropolis is at Y 65 (ish) so nothing too huge *looks at doug*).

Myself, Loaf and Nick are currently the main contributors and myself and Nick are the project leads. As for members, we have some, will make sure everyone knows what they are doing at some point.

What have you got planned?
I have so many ideas, I'll split it into what is planned for the near-future and anything else...

Near Future:

Possible additions:

We are focusing on the downtown and main city part for now however.

Can we see some fancy pictures?
Soon, yeah. Or come see yourself in the meantime.

I will be updating this post soon and the people taking part in the project will be able to post updates of their builds if they like. I hope you guys like it, I'm looking forward to seeing it develop even more!

Yes. I have heard many staff members discussing Metropolis throughout my time as a moderator and it has lived up to every expectation thus far!

Is this metropolis 2.0 or the original from SMP?

This is metropolis v2.5. Different from the first version in the old Member world on SMP, but pretty much just copied onto a flat world from the Metropolis world on SMP.

I'll share an update on what I'm currently building.

This is one of the bridges crossing the river.

This is a rather large shopping and apartment building complex.

Both I hope to have finished soon so I can move on to other projects.
