The Barry Sanders Project has existed for almost five years now, and in that time we have released 24 Michigan themed BATs to the STEX! We have more in the works! The Google Map below shows the location of all the major BSP releases, who created them, and a link to their STEX download.
Welcome to the BSP Blog Extravaganza! This is part one of the event, which features an interview with its members and an overview of the Barry Sanders Project’s history. This will be followed by part two by nofunk in a few days. But it wouldn’t be an extravaganza without STEX uploads. Keep your eye on the STEX over the next week for a bunch of BSP uploads.
"Cities of the World" is an independent project started by a small group of spanish city-building fans. The idea behind it is to create the kind of city-building game that city-building fans want to play. Such grassroots efforts is not unheard of in the gaming world, but it's rare to see players actually trying to develop their own game entirely from the ground up.
The Cities of the World project draws from familiar ideas long established by SimCity, and it makes no attempt to conceal its main source of inspiration. In fact, the team wants to take everything they liked about SimCity and add in everything they've always wanted to see.
The small team is lead by Dario Alonso who is very excited to share the Cities of the World project concept with us. Of course the project is very early in development, but Dario hopes to inspire the city-building community to become involved. Dario's native language is not English, but here he explains the ideas behind the project; how it started, what its current state is, and where it hopes to go.
Today I had a chance to sit down with Bixel and Paulvmontfort, the "Founding Fathers" of the HKABT (Hong Kong/Asian BAT Team). The HKABT is a team that makes custom BAT (Building Architect Tool) Buildings for SimCity 4. HKABT has released hundreds of BATs across multiple websites. You can see their downloads on the STEX, and on the Sc4d LEX.
The final release of Cities XL is only a few weeks away. There's been a lot of buzz in our Forum lately surrounding the game, so I thought I'd take a few of your burning questions directly to Monte Cristo and try to get some official comments as well, I was curious to see how the game has evolved during its development and to try to get a sense as to where Monte Cristo thinks the game can go from here. Big thanks to Monte Cristo for taking the time to answer these!
