Hey guys :D I'm excited to announce that soon you will be able to experience Istanbul in 1956, travel back in time, and walk through the streets of one of the oldest and most beautiful and unique cities on earth. It's where East and West connect into one, architecture and cultures.

I couldn't post any other content on Patreon, because I've been working on this project for months, doing research on how the streets looked like back then, the colors of the houses, billboards, and real satellite images of today and past, the biggest problem for me was the fact that the shoreline looks completely different today than it did in 1956, the whole row of buildings was demolished and a park was constructed in its place. I really hate situations like these, where old architecture gets destroyed, so even if it's gone in real life, you'll be able to see it in Minecraft :D I wanted to have the highest historical accuracy in every project of mine, so you can be sure that that is exactly how Istanbul looked like in 1956, I'm confident enough to declare that xD

I'm planning on releasing it in 2 weeks. (The area that I'm covering is Karaköy, right at the historical center of the city)
