Update 11 has been a little interesting, although not much has been built. Trying to make the city diverse, and attempting to raise sections has slowed progress a bit. However, there has been a little progress with buildings that were started in the past but never went forward. Anyhow, let's move on and I'll show you updates.

Tower Update

This building's frame has been standing empty for some time, but I finally decided on how to build the walls up. For now, the walls will remain unfinished until I can work out how to install a working staircase/ladder into the building for access to all the floors. I opted for alternating walls just to be different.

Tourist Information

I decided to build a tourist information center beside the tower above. It's a small center and will likely only house a couple of walls which will be littered with signposts, aiding all the visitors to the City about what can be found in that section of the City, and guide them to other places too.

D-Pad Monument

The outline for this has been sitting in the back of the ToonGAMEr HQ since one of the first updates. I finally decided to build them up. The D-Pad Monument is made of iron and still doesn't quite look right. Still, it's there, and can be altered at a different date. 

Underground Parking

I've finally gotten around to installing some lighting into underground car park, so now you can see down there.

For for the future improvements sections:

Public Swimming Pool

I've got this large spot that I've decided to build a public swimming pool in. I've jotted down the measurements (49x27) and I'm drawing out plans for the interior so that I can build the pool area.

Connecting stairs

I was trying to figure out a way to connect the higher and lower parts of the City. Of course, I have the rail network but I thought I'd add a public staircase to connect the 2 levels. I drew a very bad drawing to illustrate what I mean.

Finally gotten through 10 session s of updates! Yay! Lots to talk about in this 10th update. Not a huge amount has been added yet but I'm paving the way for extra zones of the city on the map which will soon be connected by rail. Here's a quick recap of what I've managed.

Soccer/Football Stadium (incomplete)

I've built the groundwork for the stadium. By this, I mean I've built the pitch part and it's still a little wonky. I'm not sure how it's not symmetrical in the middle but I will be getting to work on that very shortly.

Thee pitch is lower down, so I'm going to work out how to raise it a few blocks so that it's level with the higher ground level. Which leads me to...

Elevated Highway (incomplete)

I'm raising the ground level for some areas of the city. I'm starting with the area where I'm building the football stadium. As you can see, I'm building underground roads and I've built underground parking for a building that will be placed here shortly. 

The cube walls for the car park need to be hidden from view on the outside, so I'm gradually building up the grass-blocks around it so it looks like the road is resting on-top, and that the car-park is hidden on the inside.

WHAT'S BEING PLANNED?!

I don't wanna cramp everything in together too much, so most of these will be on the elevated part of the City, but here's a few of my drawings of things I'm designing for the City, which should appear in the next few updates. 

Update 9 just saw existing buildings receive chances and/or become complete. Let's run through the only new addition first. The supermarket.

The Supermarket was build across the road from the #ToonGAMEr building, in the large open plot of land that sat there. It's size is like that of a really good Aldi, or a Simply Food Branch of M&S, but it's still quite roomy. The interior still requires a bit of work, such as lighting and 'fixtures' but otherwise it's just about done. (ignore the photobombing cow)

Now to move onto the changes/completions. Let's start with the smallest of changes. 

I set up shop in the apartment buildings I completed last time. I snagged a second floor room and decorated it. The from room was just a random idea, but the bedroom I prefer most.

I wanted a closet for my chest, so built a wooden structure around 2 chests placed in the room. After noticing the room left, I decided to build a balcony on top of it, and place the bed up there, with ladder access at the rear of the room. The carpet was just to add a homely touch.

Second small change was to the train station.

I added windows to the main room, just to close it off from the animals that kept jumping in. I chose windows for lighting and such. That's all I really did to it.

Now for the last and biggest change. The tower I started last time. It's now complete.

I replaced the stone with Quartz, then slowly built up each floor with wooden plank flooring, jungle plank ceilings, glowstone lighting and quartz & glass walls. As I reached the top, I noticed 2 things: 1) I messed up the quartz 'pillars' that can be seen on each side of the building, ,so had to correct 7 of the 10 floors as I added the glass, and 2) the 10th floor is only 4 blocks high, as opposed to the 5 blocks of the other floors.

I was too lazy to correct that second problem, so I built a billboard to mount the side of the building on that floor to hide it from one side. There is now an advert for PIE on the building.

I'm working on some floor plans for new buildings, and working on schematics to add a market area to the city, and a volcano in the far right corner of the map, away from the center. There'll be a village/town nearby though, and should hopefully get a rail network linked up to it, allowing fast travel to/from.

I've stopped calling them days just because they are never back-to-back days. So now it's just updates. Here's my most recent update to my city.

The 2 apartment blocks from last time have been built. 2 identical 4-storey buildings. You can access all floors through the staircases. Interior is far from finished like most of my buildings, but it will be done at some point.

The Apartments come with their own garden area too. I started it off with some seeds and a few sugar canes. Whilst a more public garden will be created, it's location for now is unsure.

Next to the train station I built a storage building. It has 2 floors, the second being a small office building at the back. The stairs on the side lead into the office area. The interior needs little work, only a few chests to be placed.

I updated the small bakery hiding among the skyscrapers. It was originally made from wood planks, but a recent title update allowed me to swap it out for Quartz. It looks a lot more quaint yet modern.

I decided to adopt this modern look, as you've seen with the bakery and storage. I started building a new tower block nearby another unfinished tower block (which will remain unfinished until I can decide it's purpose!)

The new tower block is almost as tall as the 2 beside it, and will have 10 floors once completed. The staircase is semi-complete. Whilst the stairs can be climbed right to the top floor, the walls are to be replaced with Quartz. The building will follow the pattern of the ground floor in terms of walls and floor layouts. 

I'm doing this super slowly because I'm lacking inspiration and stuff. So I'm adding whenever the mood takes me. Just a small update on what I'm trying to build now and how it's looking.

We'll start with the small updates to the train station and the current buildings. The skyscrapers are slowly receiving their floors/ceilings and stairs for access by foot. It's time-consuming but getting done.

The train station is receiving it's walls and the shell of the building should be complete soon. The track will be extended too, and I'm playing with red-stone to try and get working barriers.

This building that overlaps the road is slowly getting built up too. It's missing its ceilings and walls, but the overhead crossing sections have received glass walls. I think it looks rather nice. Contemplating the use of the same wall structure I used for my first skyscraper, the combo of stone and iron, for this building.

Now to move on to the newest addition/s. The apartment blocks. I had originally toyed with residential houses, but after building a home, I was discouraged and moved towards planning an apartment complex. I started with a hand-drawn floor plan of the building/s in question. 

From there, I slowly replicated my hand drawn plans, adding in suitable floor materials once the basic outline had been created. 

Taking one floor on each building at a time with my 2 identical structures, I shall slowly build up the walls and staircases. This can be seen with the building on the right. The staircase, being the only unclear thing within the hand-drawn structure plan, has been improvised slightly for visual appearance within the building and its practical function.

I keep forgetting to update you all on what I've been doing. I started it months ago and keep forgetting to take pics before I start building... Luckily I haven't done that much. I'll show you.

The Building I had started that crosses over the roads, it's looking more like a building now. I have the basic shape of the building down now. I'm working on where the stairs are gonna go, and deciding on how I'm building the walls. Other than that, it's almost complete.

The trainstation is taking shape now too. I started building the iron bridge that the rail track is going to sit on, the elevated structure you see working it's way out of the building. The top floor is where the "platforms" are. The bottom floor will be where I'm hoping to install working Barricades. If not, I'll likely opt for iron doors with button operation.

I built a bakery too. There's this small space where I have 3 building's mapped out. I used the space to add a small bakery at the back of one of the skyscrapers. The animals are there because of the large plot of grass to the right of that building, but once I build there, they should disappear.

It's been a while since I updated you on how my City was going, probably because it's been a while since I edited it, so I'll link the screens and explain what I've managed to build, and make plans for.

This is the view of the majority of the city now. As you can see, a couple of more building have been erected. In the centre, what was a shopping mall is now an Expo centre, named XPO. Diagonal from that is the #TG building, ('ToonGamer Building)  and in the distance there is a mini tower for internet and etc. There's more building behind the towers...

This is the view from behind. As you can see, the road stretches past the internet tower and connects to the road behind my first skyscraper. The building at the front is in progress and is likely to be another tower block which towers over the road. Let's get a closer look at the random uterus shaped building in the corner there...

Whilst it's shape is bizarre, this building, when complete will be a cart station and will connect to other areas of the city, ensuring quick travel. It will travel both ways, and even has a small car park of it's own. It's being built with nether brick like the Expo centre as a sign of older buildings?! I dunno, I just wanted to mix things up.

BECAUSE TUMBLR ISN'T ACCEPTING MY PICTURES, I'LL POST MY OTHER PICTURE SEPARATELY.
