I think the rivers need a bit more work, but other than that it's looking great!

What do you think rivers should be upgraded with?
I really want to hear ideas and opinions.

[Turon]

Those rivers look more like canals than rivers, are they supposed to be canals? or are they rivers?
But the way the canals flow out of mountains indicate it's a river

[tzoli]

I see...
The new version will surely contain the following things:
-Better and more various forests.
-Streams(for making the place look better and making the river more riverish)
-Parks
-Docks for lakes and oceans
-Recolored ocean

It might take long until I release it but I try to hurry up because school is near over here.

That sounds good! another thing to consider is the grass,
the grass looks a little funny don't you think?

Free City has now reached one THOUSAND PLAYS on Game Jolt!

Thanks to everyone for your support!

Well... Maybe. It's still the most realistic grass we ever had in the game
If you have any ideas for it it might be implemented in the game.

[Turon]

Your grass actually looks quite good but it has lines in it which look a little funny under mountains and buildings.
I thought instead of using one small grass tile have many, and to do that you create a large square of grass using the
same methods used in making that little tile, and divide it into many tiles kind of like this!

[tzoli]

Actually that's a pretty good idea.
I will fix that thing with the lines.

[Turon]

Another thing is the sidewalks, you know you don't get such large sidewalks in real life or any other
sim city variant.
and you can set the music to play forever by setting the loop in "Play Music" to 0.

What did you say?

[Turon]

I like to yellow on the road . and I'm not saying that your sidewalks should not be there but
maybe you could make them a little smaller . you want an image? this one is comparing
the Sim City roads with Free city roads.

The original SimCity did not have sidewalks because of the low resolution.
We got plenty of space for sidewalks in Free City because the graphics are much bigger.
