A modern skyscraper. :)
Less polarising but still modern (for the 80s, though). ;D

Your buildings are beautiful, they would be nice in pak128 :D
pak96 comic must be nice with all your buildings ;)
Thank you, gauthier. :)
Well, you'll see while trying the next version of pak96.comic. Don't know when it's coming but i will come soon, hehe.
I have a new city building. There are still no special colors und no winter version; i will include it after work. But you can get an insight, though. :D
Well, the graphic factory was diligent. ;D Here's an office building for 2000+.
Hope u like the architecture. The master bulding can be found in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
awesome again ;)
The latest artworks. ;D
I love the third one !
eeer ... Can I reproduce them for pak128 ? ;D
Of course you can. :)
Don't forget to transfer € 500.000,- on my swiss bank account. *lol*
Yes, and your account number and PIN is? ;)
If I may ask, how exactly do you do the dots around solid lines? I mean, how do you decide where should they go? For the "straight" lines it's of course easy, but eg. the small houses have enhanced the woodem beams the same way...
Also - did you sample colours for windows on the left high-rise from real photos? Otr how do you come up with colors in general?
Well... It's simple to decide where to do the dots around solid lines. I avoid "lonely dots" of lines. That means i round hard lines. You can call it antialaiasing, hehe. With this procedure you can draw between (!) the dots. ...I hope, my answer is the answer you want wo read. :/
The colors: The most colors are from existing graphics i've made in the last time for pak96.comic. It's much easier than picking new colors from photos or something like that.
But i study real buildings (the left highrise doesn't exist in real life), though. In the reality there are less colors in the skylines. For games like ST you need much more of them.
Thanks! I did not know what answer is correct, so I'll take any :) In the end, it is astonishingly simple, just as everything...
;D ;D
I could create an "extended" pixel tutorial for high quality graphics.
Including all tricks of alex. ;)
But only if somebody want.
I'm making the same thing in a object making tutorial in french. I'm interested in your "tricks" to enrich my tutorial.
=> http://snfos.centauria-lane.fr/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=15&Itemid=25
Nice. :-)
I'll make a trick list in the next days. With pictures to understand those tricks. I'm sure you can inlucde them.
Thanks, at last a tutorial created with Simutrans in mind!
Three new (aged, though) buildings. 8)
Bravo! Bravo! I love your graphics. It's so eye-popping! :o
Like your work, man. 8)
I almost forgot. Do you paint industries, like power plant? If you not, I can take the job. ;D
Thank you!
Sure, u can take the job if you want. If have to do a lot other things. :-)
Some new buildings. :)
Rightmost: Old townhall.
I prefer high buildings but houses are very nice ;)
I think currently there are enough high buildings in pak96.comic.
At the moment i'm working on new station modules, tram tracks, overhead lines and some other stuff. But new skyscrapers and residential highrises will come, be sure. :D
During math lessons, I draw those buildings.
1st = commercial
2nd = commercial too
3rd = residential
4th = industrial
5th = residential
(http://img1.imagilive.com/0908/temp.png)
Nice, hehe.
You know what you have to do, right? Please draw them again - for 96c! ;D
Once in school i only drawed cars. Cars, cars and cars. And only self-designed. :D
The following old drawing from me was printed in a car magazine in germany. But no car manufacturer contacted me. :-\ ;D
(http://www.2page.de/userdaten/45136143/bilder/galerie-z/seat.jpg)
My last drawing i've done is from januar 2007 and was made by using adobe fireworks.
(http://www.2page.de/userdaten/45136143/bilder/wallpapers/volkswagen_golf_6_01b-01.jpg)
Sorry I'm a pak128 player, I prefer big size :D
Your cars are nice ;)
In Simutrans, you know, size doesn't matters..... ::)
Wow man! You beat me at drawing ;D. I don't draw cars often because I tend to make cars like 80s, which for me is easier to draw because it's blocky, unlike newer cars.
I've made tram rails and overhead lines. Hope you like them. :)

I like this, very much!!!
Why not directly linking to the same image on the german forum?
Well... I'll do it next time.
I am working on a city roadbridge. :)
(http://img378.imageshack.us/img378/5457/thh564hm0.th.png) (http://img378.imageshack.us/my.php?image=thh564hm0.png)(http://img378.imageshack.us/images/thpix.gif) (http://g.imageshack.us/thpix.php)
Another roadbridge is in progress. ;D
Update!
I've to define Front- & BackImage currently. The winter version is in progress, too. I'll paint the bridge in another color soon.
Any ideas or questions? :)
nice ! The advantage of pak96 c. is that graphics are ridiculously simples.
Compared to my last buildings for pak128 ...
=> http://www.centauria-lane.fr/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=107#p107
You're absolutely right!
___
The bridge is finished. 8)
I like the design :D
The city bridge is practically completed.
Only some snow and then it works. ;D
There's the final city bridge. Simple but not boring in my opinion. What do you think? ;D
The new bridges will be available soon.
(http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=7533)
Works for me! I wondered how a bridge spanning full width of tile looks - here is my answer.
After many "underground developments" in the last weeks these residential buildings. :)
simply cool...great work!!
Thank you!
And the graphic factory works and works...
Glas and steel, the standard of the nineties. ;D
EDIT: And older architecture.
I don't want to fall into flooding but...
...there's more for you. ;D
*faints*
How could you work so fast while showing up gorgeous graphics? :o
Eating with the left hand, Drinking with right and 24 h working with feets. ;D I think, so it is! *lol*
sojo is absolutely right. THAT's how i do.
And the graphic factory is working 36 hours a day, believe me. :D :D :D

A. brose, the pixel-painter....
P.D: Imaging him with a large brush instead of that spanner
;D ;D ;D
*rofl* vilvoh ;D :D
By the way... Please consider that Alexhaus #100 has been painted. *cheers*
Alexander, you building are pretty! But i have one question: what doing inhabitants of evening? I don't see satelit or TV antenna :)
They are painting houses for Simutrans pak 96 of course :D. That's why Alex.'s production is so high. He's got thousands of helpers... Or at least, it looks like that...
*lol*
Yeah, it could be. :D
But the reason is that the buildings shall fit into many periods. As much as possible.
Sure, it's possible to create a modern version of old buildings... :)
But thanks... It's a nice idea!
We might say that he's like Santa Claus, but working the whole year...(http://www.greensmilies.com/smile/smiley_emoticons_santaclaus.gif)
With nice greetings from santa:
Two commercial buildings. Small & big. ;D
Both can be located in Hamburg, Germany.

New: A restaurant.
Oh, that's a a major honour.
I don't know if it is true. I mean, the world is full of us painters. I am only one of thousands... :D
Thanks although, guys. :) :) :)
Who loves ice cream?
Well, I do. ;)
Simthania needs more green. ;D
Snowman!
Imposant idea! ;D
Hi,
I love the art work shown on this thread! They look so in match one another and very elegant. Cheers! :D
Can you find the little rabbit? ;D
;)
And there's no rabbit… only two rocks. (Should I finally buy gl****es?)
Try again! :D
Brownish object in the bottom right pictures between the tree on the left and the bushes to the right?
You're absolutely right, Patrick! :)
At first I thought it was a stump, but then I realized it wasn't in the showed version. Stumps don't hop away in winter, but bunny rabbits do. :)
No, they don't hop away. They have just a white fur in winter and you can't see them ;)
A new building is growing in my holy graphic factory.
Only some details are still missing and the snow.
The final version. :D
:D ;D :o
Are you sure that Rabbit wasn't named Raven ? :P
You've done a great job
Ormac 8)
Alexander, you are a genius, made of sheer talent. There are no words to express the world's thankfulness for your generosity. Pak96comic is the best thing that happened to Simutrans perhaps since it was actually created by Hajo, and now you are breathing life into it.
Keep going please, never stop!
Aw! That's a big adulation. Thank you so much!
Well, my graphic factory won't stop for the moment. Maybe in hundret years. :D
Currently there's a tram in progress. It'll be a small step to more pleasure with Simutrans and pak96.comic. :) :) :)
There are more developers active for this set, though. And as a matter of fact we have to thank Prissi and all the innumerable other helpers (about 1000? :D) for their helping hands.
I've created new brick slopes. :D

Definitively better than purple!
Absolutely! Now, how about this other texture that peeks from underneath when you terraform?
Agreed! That purple (or pink) walls make me think they were any candy or made of sugar (or whatever ::) )
Coming soon. Ideas are welcome. ;)
That's one beautifully awesome brick slopes :o. It's even more beautiful than any pak. I can't get enough of it.
Man, you're awesome 8).
Something new by G-Factory. ;D :)
[attachment deleted by admin]
Two new buildings (well-fitting to earlier years) for you!
[attachment deleted by admin]
Lovely!
Two more beauties. :)
[attachment deleted by admin]
The second will be the new shop at italian (mediterran). Big praise Alex!
Alex is panting genius!
Genius, pure genius!
Keep them coming in all shapes and sizes, Alex!
A radio station.
What you think? SimuRadio? Or MHzRadio (homage to MHz)?
(http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=8495)
I think - i game is building with MHz's band. Therefore i vote for SimuRadio ;)
and what about MHz&Wheelz Radio Station? :)
Why not? :)
Sven? You read this? ^^ We can use it for building information.
MOst of Simutrans MIDI music is from Shunter ...
Shunter-
MHz's
Simutrans Radio :D
SMS Radio is cool!!! ;D
An unprepossessing beauty. :) :) :)
And the modern cityroads now have cross-walks. Now it looks more urban in bigger cities.
Good idea.
A midsize city building.
Not the nicest but it's good enough for many decades, isn't it? ;D
Wow, looks fantastic and very style consistent!
I've refurbished alexhaus001, my first building for this pak.
Hope you like them. :)
(http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=8870)
Wow. Nice!
Big, bigger... Um, you know, what i mean. ;D
(http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=8878)
Another big residential building. Not the nicest architecture but it produces a lot of p****engers, on that you can be sure. :) :) :)
Taxi! TAAAXI! *howling noise* :police:
Nice idea! Maybe it isn't Prague taxis (http://www.virtualtourist.com/travel/Europe/Czech_Republic/Hlavni_Mesto_Praha/Prague-400455/Tourist_Traps-Prague-BR-3.html)?
If it makes me rich? :D
Thanks. :D
The graphic factory works every day... ;D
(http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=8946)
Very very nice.
Can you paint more? Mayby some small and a big one?
Well, 2x2 parks are already planned.
And you want 1x1 parks, too?
Any specific wishes/ideas for me concerning this matter? :)
Not so much 1x1. More 2x1, 2x2 and a big 3x3 ... this sounds good. ;D
Mayby more "dark" parks with many many dark trees, like the (Schwarzwald).
And some for the tropical zone? What park can placed at desert?
PS. Can you give me the new ground (for desert)?
I thought, i've posted the new desert texture in the developing section. ;) (Topic: Bodengest.)
Okay, i will do my very best. I've some ideas for desert & co. ^^
A day without new stuff from the graphic factory is a bad day...
Well, there's a new park for small cities, hehe. ;)
(http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=8959)
simply ... impressive, do you have a tip to draw this kind of building ?
Alex. Brose has not so many new painted. All objects are from older projects.
Of course some pixels are new and the way is new. But the most is only copy and paste.
My tip for you, gauthier: just zoom into the graphic. You can explore the graphic then and see my tricks.
Sometimes you only need small details. For the park: Some gr****, flowers... I took the trees from the template. As sojo wrote - copy and paste. After all you'll need antialiasing for cleaner results. :)
EDIT: And don't forget the shadows! They are really important.
I don't know if it's so simple for pak128 ...
How do you make anti-aliasing ?
I do it by hand. See the graphic below. :)
oh I do the same ... boring isn't it ?
you could use gaussian blur, or some other kind of blur in GIMP or Photoshop
You're right, gauthier. *lol*
But it's worth the effort. I think, sometimes the artist has to "play" with the pixels. :)
"Qu****el Agency Inc." ;D
Sehr gut!
Very nice detail!
Alex, you are crazy architect! I love your buildings!
Thank you very much, t.a.s. & Tomas!
Well, take THIS, hehe:
(http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=9045)
I'll show you (and the forum, of course) a much bigger building tomorrow. It's already completed but i promised sojo that he can test it before. ;)
Great. Thanks a LOT, Sojo! <mumble, mumble>
.......just kidding!! :-D
I love your work, sir. It's awesome. :D
*lol* ;D ;D ;D
Well, here's the big building.
Hotel Toulouse. The big 'HOTEL' is animated, of course. :D
(http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=9056)
Simuthans wanna watch TV!
Let's build a tv tower. 8)
(http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=9068)
Once per city?
You never cease to amaze me...
Really, really nice image. But tower is ordinary. 8 of 10 towers looks like as this ;)
This (http://www.travelguide.cz/Facilities/HG/Full/3628-1.jpg) is unique and "sexy" TV tower & Hotel ;D
*lol*
My TV Tower is close to the world's very first tv tower. You can find this tower in Stuttgart, Germany. All the thousands copies are based on Stuttgart's tower. :D :D
Vladimír: Not once per city. The chance is committed to 33%. :)
few in uk. many masts, though
Like the USA. Most and biggest masts there.
By the way - this is Stuttgart's tower:
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e0/Fernsehturm_Stuttgart.JPG/388px-Fernsehturm_Stuttgart.JPG)
Nice to see this in the game :) For the pak, I'd suggest to make the tower-stem a bit leaner, the perspective on the photo distorts the real size relation a bit.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernsehturm_Stuttgart
The base of the tower is definitely leaner than the "station" at the top. Thanks for adding that, Alex :)
Can you see the entrance to the underground? :)
(http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=9217)
We can hopefully see only the top of iceberg here :)
Of course, there's something going on in the underground, Vladimir, hehe.
Listen... Can you hear the sound of the construction sites? ;)
After a long time without new graphics by graphic factory i have a new building for you. It's a modern office highrise.
At night the building is dark (well, not the logo) because the window cleaning is really high in price. ;D
(http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=9665)
Looks beautiful!
New. :)
(http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=9710)
Perfect! :)
That got a big ol smile on my face :D
Thanky. ;D
Other colors:
(http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=9713)
HORRIBLE! BAD! TERRIBLE! AWFUL!
.........these are words that do not in any way apply to this pretty house. :D
Graf Siebenstein Building
(http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=9722)
Very nice! The details are lovely the little tower and the ..uhm .. "Erker" ;D
Shall it become a cur building? Because of the name.
Thank you!
No, it's a "simple" city building. All my city buildings have names like "Rosenstraße" or "Klaus-Mustermann-Haus" and their own description since two or three months. :)
Edit: Another city building. It's so called "quadratisch, praktisch, gut", hehe.
(http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=9725)
Probably the last one today. :)
(http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=9730)
how do you make vegetation climbing on walls ?
Can you specify what you mean, gauthier?
How to do or how it works in reality? :D
how to do of course xD
*lol*
I have to admit that i wasn't sure, hehe.
Well, you only need three green colors. And three again for the dark side of the building.
Then you draw with the darkest green some "rivers" from the ground above. And now yo've only to "spray" the two other green colors across the darkest green.
It not more then painting a bush, it's even more narrow.
You can find a barbershop in the ground floor. ;D
Edit: 2nd building.
(http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=9731) (http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=9732)
Not the nicest architecture but nice enough, right? >:( ;D

But this one is the last one for today. My bed is calling... ;D

Congrats Alex! If, by any chance, your graphics factory is on facebook as well, I'd be fan of it instantly! Good work you've been doing, hopefully we'll see them all back soon in a new release of p96c!
Thank you very much, KrazyJay!
You mean i should start a graphic factory on facebook?
As part of the simutrans fan group?
It might just introduce your factory to the bigger audience and be a good publicity for Simutrans as a whole. :)
Well... Feel free to do this. I'm glad. :)
There couldn't be enough publicity for Simutrans and his community, hehe
Edit: A new highrise. :) :) :)
(http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=9794)
beautiful colors, many fine and nice details, interesting architectural solutions, ...
... I love you graphics factory and her (your) creations! :)
be carefull, it is on the good way to be adapted on pak128 xD
;D ;D ;D ;)
Don't say that...
I wanna see it! Go for it, hehe!
Be patient, I'm currently too busy to draw for ST.
No problem, gauthier. :)

Our Masterpainter is 25 years old, today! Happy Birthday here again. :D
Congratulations!!....quick, let's paint a building with a birthday cake shape! :D
*rofl*
But i have a nice idea! We could use birthday balloons as moving object. It'll look sweet in a comic graphic set. :D
Do you like it?
(http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=9882)
Ñam! give a big piece, please... ;D
What a sweet... am, nice building, hehe. *lol*
:D :D :D

Thank you all!
*eating the cake* :)
The cake is a lie! ;D
*runs away*
Can I have a piece ? :D
* Alex have already eaten all the cake *
We need a cake factory... :D
By the way... For all Facebook members: search for "graphic factory" or "Alexander Brose". ;)
in fact, we actually need a cakes industrial chain, but that's another story.... ::)
Die Kuchen ist nicht frei!
Happy birthday, fine sir!
That cake building looks good enough to ea---er, to, ah, use in the game! What frosting on my mouth? *wipe, wipe*

WOW! A wonderful graphic of this typical german building.
I love it!
simply nice :)
You're making very nice buildings for pak96 but it needs much more vehicles and ways, why don't you draw them ?
He is in love with this buildings. :D
All need time. We will get more vehicles!
Gauthier can you make a thread with your wishes? What kind off cars do you need?
Of course i do more like drawing buildings because i'm extremely interested in building architecture. :)
Sojo is right - there will come many new vehicles and other things like ways in the future. Even the time is the question, hehe. :D
I'm not really playing pak96 so I don't know exactly what is needed. I just remember that there isn't any electric train. There are no ships and planes too, maybe it changed since the last release of pak96, I will test it.
'Via Dante.'
An italian city building. I hope you can see it, hehe.
Sorry, gauthier... Again a building, i know. ::) ;D
(http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=9965)
no it's nice :)
but on the top, the floor and the objects under the curtain (I don't know if it's the good word) should not be snowed because of this curtain ...
Thanks!
You're right.
But hey... There was a snow storm. :D
Another italian city building.
A small one. Enough for a 90 years old lady, hehe.
(http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=9968)
oh yes er... no I have a better explanation : a snow-blower has been brought on the building to blow snow under the curtain :D
xD
I think that's IT! 100 points goes to you. ;-)
'Via Milano' :)

I will initiate an addon project for pak128 "pak96 buildings conversion" :D
If you want to?!
You've all permissions, for a long time.
But i couldn't really imagine how it'll look. With or without comic style?
I'm curious about that, gauthier. :)
Italy, what else. ;D

For Germany and Austria this time.

May I request a building inspired in Spain? perhaps The Pic****o tower (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torre_Pic****o) or The Agbar tower (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Torre_Agbar_-_Barcelona,_Spain_-_Jan_2007.jpg)..
Of course, vilvoh. :) Both buildings are well known to me.
The Agbar tower is very difficult to draw. I think i'll need to render a template.
Well, we'll see when it's time for spanish (world) architecture, hehe.
Of course witheout comic style, it's not the style of pak128 so I will juste take shape and color.
A first preview. I've to change some little things and to create the winter version.
What do you think, vilvoh? It's not a 1:1 copy but i think (hope) that everybody can see the Pic****o Tower in this skyscraper.

I love it!!!! :o
P.S: the night version is almost equal as the real life version..btw, if you want a 3d template for Agbar Tower, just tell it.. ;)
Thank you very much!
I don't need a 3d template now - i tried to paint it and it looks nice. The building will be a little bit smaller but not less nice (nice? okay, the architecture is strange), hehe. :)
As far as I know, at Barcelona they call it
The Big Cucumber... ::)
What do ya think, vilvoh? ;D
(http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=10009)
I would make it a little higher, 3 or 4 floors, and you paint it too grey. imho, the original one has more color but from distance, it seems to have a grey color scheme. Have a look at the images.

- Another pic (http://dummidumbwit.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/torre-agbar-2.jpg)
P.S: You got more images of the tower at
this link (http://www.skyscraperpicture.com/torreagbar.htm) (including night photos)
P.S: In spite of that, the shape is perfect, seems rounder enough
From sky you see the window modules (?) and so you can't see much from the nice colors.
You more see the reflections from the sky. :)
So i've modified the design.
My template is based on a bird view photo (bing maps) and it looks like my graphic.
It's not a 1:1 copy and i think it's nice enough for pak96.comic.
And - as a matter of fact - you've permission to modify this building.
Don't be shy. ;D :)
...interesting....
Woooooow!!! :o
I work three streets from it!!! And vilvoh, we don't call it Big Cucumber... but I won't explain since people is too young here :P
Actually IRL is a little more blueish, but it's really fine for pak96.comic. You could have asked me for some first hand photos!
Great job, Alex!
Well, you know...the
Big Cucumber nickname may also have some sexual connotations... ::)
Thanks a lot, Zeno! The world isn't that big, right? xD
The blue (grey ^^) is more blue now. I think it looks a little bit more futuristic now.
(http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=10010)
Great! I like it even more! Actually it probably has been designed with that bit of
futuristic fashion.
No it isn't. Just a map of 2048x2048 xDDD
PS: About the name... we just call it Agbar tower. It's an abbreviation of "
Aguas de
Barcelona", which means "Barcelona Water" Company.
it's really nice, good job.
You could give me a piece of advice about drawing curves, I have many troubles with that :(
I should start a new tutorial. :)
___
A new italian city building.
(http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=10012)
Ooooh! So much goodness!!! Alex, you are not only a genius and a maestro, you are also making people enjoy a perpetual state of Nirvana!
The dildo tower is an interesting addition ;)
You'll laugh... My girlfried thought this, too. :D
I didn't want to say anything, but it looked more like a tampon to me. But either way.... Definitely feminine of some sort! lol...
(perhaps we can also tell apart the married guys from the single ones... hehe)
imho, pak96 comic need some extra statues and monuments, and I think this Gundam statue would fit perfectly in the pakset style (link to gallery (http://punynari.wordpress.com/2009/06/09/****embled-rx78-gundam-part-2/))
(http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/marvinryan0217/blog/gundamstatue.jpg)
Better to make it generic to avoid copyright complaints, but... that sounds fun :D
...and please tell me that's shopped... hehe
Or we ask. Mayby we can make advertising and earn millions. :D
It looks like one. I am sorry, it does. You have to try really really hard to make yourself think of even a cucumber instead. I like it anyway, and I hope it will populate my cities soon, bringing m****ive amounts of joy to Simuthanians (or whatever the perverted tram-riding folk is called).
I've spent expotential amounts of time exposing myself to the divine pleasures of playing pak96, and I must say you cannot possibly get enough. The sheer goodness is overwhelming! That said, being able to complain about everything, I have to tiny teeny gripes. Namely, there are two buildings from the past that started to stand out, and not necessairly in a positive way, among the copious amounts of wonderful in the latest editions of the pak. They are:
* The big pinkish rectangular commercial building labelled "Shop"
* The midsized Town Hall (light brownish with red roof)
I was quietly wondering if the next time around the Brose Werk could upgrade those, so that Sojo could delight us with replacements in the next release?
Just a little quiet wish I will keep to myself, obviously ;)
This builds are originals. I can't they remove. But mayby master alex will paint it over, some day.
What about BroseMech or Optimus Sojo?
I'm afraid it's completly true but don't worry, there's no invasion planned... :D
Well, there are three ways imho:
- I repaint the building with alex-typical aspects; but we've to ask 'luki haba' from the german forum first for it because i don't wanna do that without his permission.
- I paint a complete new building; but it'll the end for luki habas graphic.
- We'll ask luki haba for a new graphic. Maybe he wanna paint a new one, with the current pak style... :)
I think this is the best.
You can ask him. ;) :D
After three months i have a new graphic for you! :)
TheoNET Services.
(http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=10654)
Yes, he's back again!
And the building is very fine indeed. But it should not take you three months, should it :D ? Hope to see more soon. By the way, is TheoNET Services any good?
Thanky. :) No, the next graphic won't take three months.
Don't you like "TheoNET Services"? I have an open mind for alternatives. Don't be shy! *lol*
Alex, that building looks great, like I said on FB. That style really appeals to me! Great to see you back on this project!
No, I like the name. I just wondered about their services...
I guess it's the famous Theological Network, a connectionist (neural-network) expert system with more than 10.000 rules, that acts as a skilled preacher that tries to prove god's existence without using the scientific method. It's used mainly by soft creationists and Intelligent Design supporters. But it's only a guess.. :::)
I think Alex helps over there, too:
http://www.theotown.de/forum/portal.php
An aspiring city simulation. Contact is little only, but the creator of TheoTown visits the German forum now and then, and we talked a bit about cooperation between Simutrans and TheoTown in the past.
You're right, Hajo. :)
New: Chocolate Dreamworks. A modern office highrise. And no - you CAN'T eat the building. *rofl*
(http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=10657)
:)
Tell that to Godzilla :D
Mmmmh, crunchy ;D
Again a modern office highrise:
Charis Mobile AG.
(http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=10667)
wow, very nice this one! i would like to have my office there! ;)
Glas, glas, glas... ;D
(http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=10686)
nice!!!
Wow, they are awsome!
They are really distinctive.
Alex I think you have some fans.
You should publish your autograph-adress. (http://www.greensmilies.com/smile/smiley_emoticons_schriftsteller.gif)
Edit:
I do it!!! (http://www.greensmilies.com/smile/smiley_emoticons_devil_RED.gif)
Master Alex Brose
c/o Brose & Co Unlimited Painters
Superrich-Road - Number: 1,000,000,-
Office-Quarter
Simutown (Simutransland)
Very nice buildings, you can be proud of them ;)
Sojo, I hope Deutsche Post can deliver there!
No. I think that can only Simuthanian-Post! :D
I think it would be better to create a TV ad like this one:
Hi, folk! You want to paint as well as me? You may be, just send 1K credits to Alex Brose, c/ Brose & Co Unlimited Painters. Do not hesitate, the eternal master painter is only 1k credits away.
How about a billboard ad like the one in pak128?
No building this time. ;)
(http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=10782)
that's a good idea, Simutrans needs some green ^^
Here we go, gauthier. :P
"Schnattermobile Autohandel."
Most cars from this car trader can be found in many films (crashing). ;)
(http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=10821)
Nice!
So here are selling cars for "Alarm für Cobra 11"? ;D
*lol*
You're right! Wanna get some "high quality" cars? They're cheap and very fast. And: they can fly! Believe me! :D
May i suggest some staions/station buildings? In consistant style yet slightly varied form? That would be really cool since you could have a uniform looking station, but each one is unique. :D And its still buildings! Top drawer work. Your buildings got me wanting to have a go at this pak!
You can download two new buildings (residential mid-rise + office tower, rotatable). :)

Thanks a lot! :)
