About this world

Mattupolis is a Pacific Northwest -themed city, based mostly on Vancouver, BC and Seattle, WA. My goal is to create a modern, realistic and somewhat interesting city environment along with its surroundings and not just a bunch of skyscrapers with roads randomly scattered about.

So far there are 150+ high-rises with more coming up fast, an observation tower based on Seattle's Space Needle, a large urban park with pristine nature right next to the ocean, a huge multi-purpose arena, at least one Tim Hortons or Starbucks per block, a dam and a convention center, only to name a few. As for infrastructure, the city boasts an extensive freeway system, the most integral part of it being the Mattupolis Beltway. An airport is in the plans. Since New York City was my initial inspiration, the very center of Downtown is loosely based on Times Square.

Only a few buildings on the map are furnished, I'm not that good at making interiors.

One of my favorite cities! I love being able to see the whole map here! You still updating and building on this city?

Yeah, I just started working on a new development in the Burnaby district the other day. For some reason it only becomes visible if you zoom in all the way.
At the moment I don't have much available time to work on the project due to my military service, which will end mid-June. There will be some progress this spring, but it'll take until June before things will really get rolling again.
Good to know! and yeah with cities the size of ours it takes a while to load new sections. Like for Alleron it takes a good 4-5 days before everything is visible from every zoom level :)
