Re: Onubis V2 Updates

Thanks for the comments guys! I will go back to updating Onubis after the 27th. (Photobucket's limits how much memory of images I can upload per month.)

by **ForthWall** 25th October 2011, 01:10

Get Dropbox or Imageshack

by **SmartbyLaw** 25th October 2011, 02:32

Yea^ I agree with forthwall Cheeky/Razz

by **emperordaniel** 25th October 2011, 07:27

Majhost is also a good option if you want no limits on picture size Cheeky/Razz

by **Evillions** 26th October 2011, 03:38

Its only for two days, then I'll be back updating. Smile

-------------------
On a more serious note, should I even continue Onubis? I have this feeling that all the updates I do is too repetitive because its either extreme ghetto or Dubai like cities. Due to the lack of REAL Middle Eastern content and that my 3dsmax does not work, I am having second thoughts doing an American city instead.

by **ForthWall** 26th October 2011, 04:20

If you want, but Onubis was special, it was original, it was its own thing no one else like it Smile

, if you do change tho, do Asia Wink

by **emperordaniel** 26th October 2011, 04:34

I think you should continue Onubis Smile

by **Thomas** 26th October 2011, 10:49

I love Onubis. It's not repetitive at all - it's always different. You could probably look outside of the box - maybe some ruined ancient cities in the desert or something, if you really wanted it to be more diverse.

In my opinion, American cities are repetitive because a lot of people do them. I'd say they're below your skill level, personally.

by **SmartbyLaw** 26th October 2011, 14:28

Onubis I love. It would be interesting to see what your American cities look like. Ultimately it's up to you.

You know, you are right. I never realized that CJ was / is that unique because all the attention and comments go to American and/or utopian cities. For example, my Salem side project proved that viewers are more likely to comment on clean, American cities. (Its like the pop / dance music on the radio of City Journals. Cheeky/Razz

) In contrast, my Astoria side project received loads of comments because it was American and was an alternative to Huston's Selbring and TkindusT's Ghetto and Rust Stories.
--------------
To the rest, you are all right. I should continue this CJ, but I should even create even more unique updates.

by **Thomas** 27th October 2011, 10:30

That's exactly right. I hope to see more of Onubis, because it's one of the oldest African/Middle Eastern city journals - and now that Gansbaai has gone, a quality desert-based CJ is a rare sight.

by **SmartbyLaw** 27th October 2011, 14:41

I agree^ Up with Onubis! Smile

Gobar is not a complete wealthy city like Dubai, this city comprises one of the largest slums in Onubis. Based on the 2010 census, there are over fifty-thousand slum residents living in Gobar. Surprisingly, gleaming skyscrapers were even built in the South-side.

Parisian architecture is somewhat common in Gobar because the city used to be the prime trading port in the Middle East. During the French's time in colonial Onubis, Parisian architecture was built so that the French feel closer to home.

Unfortunately, most of the Parisian architecture was demolished due to expansion. Recently, the Onubisian Historical National Register in order to preserve historical buildings.

Side note: You asked for it, and here is a new update. I have been working on section of Gobar for a while and still in WIP. Feel free to post any suggestions or criticize it.

by **emperordaniel** 29th October 2011, 07:24

Great update and story! Laugh

Looking forward to more!

by **Gregor** 29th October 2011, 07:39

Gobar is not a complete wealthy city like Dubai,

some places in Dubai ain't rich either Cheeky/Razz

Otherwise your work there is great, the HKBAT's fit surprisingly well, and that historic district is just

Well done

a great opening to my weekend

by **Thomas** 29th October 2011, 14:40

Absolutely love it Evillions - that tiny historic district, surrounded by sprawl, is a really powerful image. Great to see Onubis back. Laugh

by **SmartbyLaw** 29th October 2011, 15:06

I love it! Onubis is so amazing! Love the historic district as well. Very nice. And you make it look so easy Cheeky/Razz

by **Kevin** 29th October 2011, 15:13

This actually looks really really good! Smile

by **Evillions** 14th November 2011, 22:52

Thanks for the comments guys! Laugh

--------
During this gap, I have almost completed the city. However, I will need some ancient Middle Eastern - like models. (I have all of onlyplace4's desert lots) If anybody knows, please post a link here. Smile

And do not worry about the lot, I will edit that. Smile

by **kakado_to_save** 15th November 2011, 17:35

hmmm ... i dont know any,
but who cares the update is awesome! Laugh

by **Thomas** 15th November 2011, 18:40

Hmm... I think you could, possibly, relot some of Mickebear's buildings, probably the lighter coloured ones, and they could work as older Middle Eastern buildings. Maybe you could look at some Roman settlements for inspiration on how to you Mickebear buildings?
I don't really know of any other options because it's not a popular choice for City Journals - most people would rather cater for the bloated US-style City Journal market.
I'm sure you do a brilliant job with whatever you find though. Smile

Gobar South Pt. II

Its nighttime and the city is lively as ever. The shops are usually packed with gullible customers and offices with 2nd shift workers.

The city's port is considered to be one of the busiest ports of its size in Onubis. The port's workers dwell in government blocks or shanties.

Last but not least, old city. Only partial sections survived throughout the centuries. This old city is considered to be one of the remaining in Onubis. Currently, this area is being restored to its former state and being protected by UNESCO.
