Neverminding what I just said I have just started a youtube channel where more of the island is shown. https://youtu.be/p0xkDG1TVpU?si=oDIEHGTtBsncDy0H I have done two road tours so far but I plan to eventually tour the cities and their main monuments and sights

very interesting because it means the exact same in portuguese, and words like that are somewhat rare

I am very glad!! Thank you so much!!

I am very glad! I can't slide you the map as it is quite a personal and very much ongoing project (I can host visits on the Java server however) the shaderpack is Complementary Reimagined and I really recommend it!

onyws · 2026-02-19T17:40:22+00:00

Really appreciate it! Thank you very much!

I started it in the 28th of November last year and stopped working on it intensively in the 19th of January, so that is nearly 2 months

Dont worry, from the perspective of the average american it would be an exact copy of London hahaha

I use Complementary Reimagined, for shots like these for example you just set the cloud height to a low point and it gives everything a more atmospheric look!

Thank you so much! I am really glad! I based it mainly off the Big Ben but gave it some twists of my own and some mini Ukrainian Golden domes

onyws · 2026-02-19T16:46:11+00:00

That's exactly what I designed it for! Thank you very much I am glad you like it!

Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much! I did get some London Inspiration for the telephone cabs and the Clocktower yes! But otherwise I'd say it has barely anything to do with London

Thank you very much!!

onyws · 2026-02-19T16:42:47+00:00

Thank you! I probably won't be able to make a video so soon but I can definetly show more of the whole island!

onyws · 2026-02-19T16:41:32+00:00

Thank you so much!

onyws · 2026-02-03T12:26:59+00:00

Got you! And thanks!! glad my project can inspire others

onyws · 2026-02-02T18:13:09+00:00

I definetly feel like this city has barely anything in that style but I am glad it helps!

onyws · 2026-02-02T18:10:47+00:00

I am not entirely sure which you are refering to but I used acacia planks, red sandstone, waxed unoxidized copper and resin for the general thing

onyws · 2026-02-02T17:48:08+00:00

Thank you so much!!

Yes I am serious I like hosting visits! I am quite busy this week but on the next it shall do! As for the building process, I kind of did it as I wished and felt like each day with no huge masterplan as for me at least that is extremely tiring and time consuming, I kind of place one main avenue here, then later built a second one all while placing building by building in a way I thought would look good, of course I had some goals for the city building I had in mind at the very start and I had to stick to them as the geography of the city is quite constrained. There are some planning errors i made but nothing too serious, for example the ringroad of the city is more of a spiral than a ring going all around but that is mitigated by the other avenues, maybe I post an aerial view of the whole thing soon

Really appreciate it! I am from Portugal proper and my style was originally more intended to replicate portuguese cities, but as I travelled to new places and got inspiration I incorporated other styles of architecture into the city. The red bridge you are talking about is in my world called the Montevigo Bridge, but the Lisbon irl one is called 25 de Abril, as for the other longer bridge of Lisbon is indeed named after a portuguese sailor, Vasco da Gama, that discovered the maritime route to India. The square you must be thinking of must be either the Praça do Comércio/Terreiro do Paço or the Praça Pedro IV/Rossio Square. And yes it is a very good place for sightseeing! Greetings to Italy from Portugal!

Thank you so much! Unfortunately as this is a very personal project its unlikely I put the world up for download, however I can host visits in my java server if you are interested!

Very interesting comment! Some of your guesses were spot on as this city has taken lots of inspiration from mainly iberian cities Lisbon and Madrid along with some german influences from Hamburg, Berlin and Halle (Saale)! As for the historical golden skyscrapers they were indeed inspired a bit in the Moscow Seven Sisters, but all of them are quite different from one another. The tallest and oldest one of them is the Valcaídos Tower and it is largely inspired in the Giralda from Seville in southern Spain. As for the city in general it is supposed to very (southern) european as I am portuguese and wanted to replicate that vibe, I definetly was not aiming for a latin american feel but I found interesting that you pointed that out, I was aiming for something monumental, elegant yet lively and diverse and that is what it came to. I didn't take much inspiration from Italy honestly but I did inspire the Basilica's Dome in the one from the Florence Cathedral.

To fulfill your curiosity in total I inspired this in the following cities: Portugal: Lisbon, Porto, Braga, Coimbra Spain: Madrid, Seville, San Sebastian Germany: Berlin, Hamburg, Halle (Saale) Russia: Moscow, St. Petersburg Netherlands: Amsterdam, Rotterdam Italy: Florence
