Just a little sneak preview :).

Note that this might not be the finished version but the end result will look somewhat like this.

Well, all the graphics are now in the coding pipeline. If Xeryus is further on as fast as now, then we can expect the release in ... *calculateWithMyMagicCrystalBall*...

exactly 5.2312122 * PI / sqrt(2) days :lol:

Well, that might be quite an accurate calculation as I've already coded 2/3 big stations you gave me, I haven't coded the little platforms yet though.

We've to update our calculation because I may soon have new station-coding work for you, Xeryus :) - but just a tiny little one this time.

The story: Some days before I travelled through Darmstadt South, and I thought: "Damn, I knew have forgotten something for the TTD station types."
Darmstadt South (as well as Darmstadt North) is a station that looks like this:

_BBBBBB_
¯\_,,_,,_/¯

where ,, are the tracks and BB is the building.

So I've now also created a station of this type, a /modern/ of course. Any comments before dividing and put it into Xeryus's coding pipeline? Do you think the flags should be animated? I'm not sure about the lighting this time, though the reflections at least /look/ ok to me.

That's a fantastic effort, Red*Star, very very good indeed! I like your method of having no central platforms like it is in real life.

I don't know, but this spot looks a bit odd to me. Like the pillar is 2D :?

Nice work though! :D

One thing I'd say is to have another entrance building like the one on this side of the tracks on the other. Also, the plaza that has the flags on looks too pink as though it is a flower bed rather than a paved area.

Also, the reflection on the roof on the left hand side (The roof that goes \ way) has the reflection on the wrong side... shouldnt it be shady on the west facing side?

Its a great piece of work though Red*Star! 8)

Better now? :D

Notice the detail on the new forecourt. I was myself surprised that it is possible, but I made it: Simulate a bike with 4*5 pixels :o

very nice work Red*Star :).

I have one question though, will the flags be in company colors? If they will then it will make some nice distinction between stations.

Thanks for the nice comments, guys.

Yes, XeryusTC, I thought about the suggestion your email and decided to use CC-elements this time for the station - so the flags will be company-coloured.

Don't let the nay-sayers get you down, this set will 100% sure get in my game!
