Aquain: Ozzy's City Beneath the Waves

OzzyKP

A bit.  But only in the broadest sense.  Honestly I've been more keen on being different from Rapture than emulating it.  They are constructed quite differently.  Rapture looks kind of like submerged 1940's New York City.  My city is mostly in domes and underground.  Rapture is also self-sustaining and inaccessible.  Aquain is set up to be connected to the world and have plenty of trade and commerce and tourism (a lot of that still is yet to do). 

The biggest similarity (besides being an underwater city) is the art deco.  Yea, both cities certainly have that in common.  But I still see Aquain being set in the future, with future/current technology, not in the past.  I have a lot of work yet to do on all the small bits of flavor for my texture pack and city.

I put in a bit of work the last few days on building two new upper class domes.  Thanks to Hopper and imagamer for hollowing them out first.

I just downloaded it and tried it out!  Though it's not fit for the style I build in, I absolutely love what you've done.  Great job with it, it's absolutely fantastic.  The button keypads are my favorite aspect.

Thanks!!  I'm so glad you like it!  It is hard to use for a normal build, since so many of my blocks are for very specific purposes, but thanks for checking it out!

I finished building private sub bays for all the upper class domes.  I did four of them this week, whew.  A lot were in pretty tight spots, but I found space for them all!

At B1ueJ0ker's suggestion I added sound to my metal detector:

I totally finished off four upper class domes (adding to my previously finished 2).  So that's 6 upper class domes, 6 sub docking bays, 3 subway stations, 24 homes, hundreds of rooms, all built, furnished & decorated.

I'm working now on finishing off my set of 12 middle class domes.  I recently built 3 more domes (had to level an underwater mountain to put them in).  I've got the structures of all 12 domes finished (~150 homes, ~600 rooms).  I just need to furnish them all now.
