THIS IS THE OFFICIAL POST FOR THIS BUILD. PICTURES WILL BE UPDATED AS IT PROGRESSES.GENERAL INFORMATION: H14 is a little project I've wanted to try for a while. It takes place in Slopes, where I'm going to create a little bit of civilization. Most of you have seen the flat paths in Slopes at the base of the mountains. I like to pretend those are popular logging roads, but altogether it's a 300 mile journey. This is where the story takes off. This was inspired by Ice Road Truckers, but that show gets really gay with all the drama they add to it. Wherever the path seems to fade away, there will be lit barricades for drivers to see. It illuminates the suggested path. There are no pictures of Stanza because it is non-existant at the moment but in heavy progress. There's a basic shape but I'm not showing it to you yet, more so because you don't care.
BACKGROUND STORY: Hell Route 14. It is one of the most treacherous roads in the history of Blockland. There is a popular logging area on the far side of the Slopes, where there remains an active and large civilization known only by Logger City. 300 miles away from this town is the vast metropolis of Bloxford, one of the busiest import/export cities in the country. But there's a problem. That 300 mile journey has claimed countless lives. It's 300 miles of nothing but snow, ice, accidents, and no stops - until now. 146 miles from Bloxford, a rest stop is being constructed. There are no possible places to build it possibly except for the peak of the mountain. Yet another obstacle comes with this: Truck and Jeep drivers need a way of getting up to the new Inn and Gas Station. They're located in a very small settlement known as Stanza.
That's basically the story for it. There is no road except for the makeshift one up on the peak that is coming along. I found a realistic path up the mountain that isn't going straight up a cliff. So here we go.
Subtitles were added in necessary places.
The hotel's parking lot. Haven't really started on the building yet.
A look down the road from the point where "HARSH ROUTE" and "GRADUAL ROUTE" merge. It goes up the hill and up there is the hotel and soon to come gas station. To the right is a foundation but I have yet to give it something of use.
Going down the harsh route. If you're going southbound, it says "USE XTRA CAUTION", northbound says "INCOMING TRAFFIC".
After the smooth-going ride from the entrance, the ascent begins. These are just pointers that say you have to go right and go up, not straight.
Warning sign after entrance.
A sign that is at the ending of the road in Stanza; if you go right, you go in between to walls (the one to the left is a building foundation, left is just a wall) and you go down a landscape similar to the default image for the Slopes. Dunno why some bricks show up aqua-ish, maybe just light interference.
This is my second build, eventually to turn into a map. I will try to make the buildings look great, but not too mind blowing, after all its in an arctic setting.
Feel free to constructively criticize, or rate X/10.
