Hi dear Patrons,
Yesterday, after finishing the scenery around the road to Salininkai, I took the time to record a new Silent Driving to introduce this new area to all utopians. The video is now online on YouTube!
Good day to all!

[1] Release of Grand Utopia v1.13.3 (beta)
As announced, in order to allow you to have more regular updates, a first beta version of Grand Utopia has been released this week. The v1.13.3 is now available for download for all members of my Patreon, whatever their level of membership.

Hello dear Patrons,
Find in this post the latest beta version of Grand Utopia. As a reminder, these versions are exclusively restricted to you and must not, under any circumstances, be shared.
The aim of these beta versions is to give you early access to the new zones created, but also to give me feedback on any bugs and problems you may encounter so that I can correct them before the official publication of the update.
In this sense, a new channel on our Discord has been c...

Hello dear Patrons,
As announced recently in the article published on the blog of my website, I think it is necessary to review the bug reporting system currently in place. It is true that the latter allows players to report bugs they have encountered via several different channels (website, Discord, e-mail) but unfortunately they do not have the possibility to have a follow-up.
That's why I announced that I wanted to find a new system. After some research and a few exchanges with...

Hello dear Patrons,
This week, a new village has been added to the southern point of the island of Grand Utopia. Salininkai is a village where living is good. This small town attracts many tourists thanks to the King's Rock Castle which dominates the town, perched on its promontory. Its large beach and the Italian Promenade also allow for a peaceful stroll at sunset.
This new municipality will be available in the next version 1.14 of Grand Utopia. Here are some exclusive images fo...
2022-02-05 17:26:44 +0000 UTC View PostGood morning dear Patrons,
Today is your chance to use your voting power! I'd like your opinion about the frequency and content of each update released. Currently, the frequency is about one version every 3 months (all mods included) and, in terms of content, new versions have 3 to 5 new cities.
I wonder if this way of doing things suits you or if you would like more frequent updates with a little less content each time (like 2/3 towns).
It's true that, now that I'm working ...

[1] Official release of Mygotopia v0.1
This is the big event of the week! The very first alpha version of the Mygotopia addon has finally been released. The addon allows Globetrotter members to access a brand new country, located north of the island of Grand Utopia, and composed of two villages (Bad Water and Liberty Bay) and one city (Windfield).

Hello dear Patrons and especially dear Globetrotters,
I am very pleased to announce that the very first version of the Mygotopia addon is finally available. In this launch version, you will be able to discover two villages and one town in the Mygotopia territory: Bad Water, Liberty Bay and Windfield.
There are two ways to reach this new land:
→ by road, between Meulan and Windfield
→ by sea, between Montmorillon and Liberty Bay

Hello dear Patrons,
It's Sunday and time to review the events of the past week!
[1] Creation of route R1
Last week, I started mapping the R1 route, between Windfield and Liberty Bay. About 15/20 km long (sorry, I haven't looked into it yet 😅 ), this section winds between the sea and the mountains all along the coast. The R1 route will be a major axis as it will allow you to travel from East to West, without having to go much further North to catch the HW-...

Hello dear Patrons!
Come on, here we go. It's time to officially start the process of changing the names of the levels. In order to better present the new levels of commitment, I have made a small summary image, which will also be posted on the website in the future. For a better readability, please note that they are attached to this post and that you can download them.
Hello dear Patrons,
It's Sunday and time to review the events of the past week!
[1] End of mapping in Windfield (MG)
Finally, it's done. The city of Windfield is finished. This was the biggest part of the work for the first alpha version of Mygotopia. So it's really a good thing done and a step closer to the release of the first version for Diamond members.
Hi Patrons! A new Mapping Timelapse video is now available on my YouTube channel. It concerns the creation of the scenery around the R-1/R-3 interchange near Windfield. I tried to improve the concept of this video series by adding at the end some in-game scenes of the just created environment.
Have a nice weekend!

Hello dear Patrons!
The creation of the scenery around Route -1-, for the portion between Liberty Bay and Windfield, has begun. A few miles west of Windfield is the Ritter River. From the bridge you will have a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains and an old railway bridge. But don't forget to keep an eye on the road, an accident can happen!
Good evening to all!

After much thought, I think I've come up with an interesting concept for the new names of the Patreon levels. I've heard your feedback on the previous proposed names which, I admit, were a bit cold. My wife and I have been racking our brains to come up with some cooler names, and I think we've found it! So here's what I propose:
- Utopian Citizen (would replace the current Bronze and Silver): this level would correspond to people who simply wis...

Quick poll to know your opinion about the new series of mapping tutorials that I will create. As mentioned, they will be small tutorials on specific points. The goal is to have a complete series with many quick tutorials, rather than 1 hour or even 1h30 videos that fill your head with 1001 things 😅
The question is about the format: do you prefer video, paper or both?
For your information, this time I will produce them in Frenc...

It's official, the creation of Windfield ended this Sunday. Here are two new pictures of the city to celebrate. Now I'm going to start the creation of Route -1- between Windfield and Liberty Bay. When this is finished, v0.1 of Mygotopia can be released!
Good evening to all,

Hello dear Patrons!
As mentioned recently, I have written a brand new user guide that will replace the "Read Me" folder in the .zip folder of the mod when you download it.
More complete, it now indicates the procedure to allocate more RAM memory to your PC, as well as small reminders as to the power that this mod needs to function well.
The guide is now available on the website, on the download page, and on the Google Drive. Finally, for you only, a direct download link is a...

As a reminder, at this point, you have chosen your level of involvement among 4 levels: Bronze Club, Silver Club, Gold Club and Diamond Club.
These levels are adapted to different scholarships and allow to have, consequently, more or less important advantages. I was quite happy with this configuration but the more tim...

Some time ago, I submitted a poll to you to better understand your expectations regarding your subscription to my Patreon. I'm taking advantage of the first days of this new year to give you a little summary of the results but also of what's going to come from it.

Hello again dear Patrons! Following the proposal of a member of our family, I am pleased to propose you a coloured map background for Grand Utopia. It is the same style of map as the Mygotopia addon.
I'm letting you have early access to it while I release Grand Utopia version 1.13 which is coming soon. After that, this mod will be available for free to everyone.
To use it, simply ensure that the mod is placed on top of the Grand Utopia mod.

This morning, I logged into the SCS Forum to check if new messages were posted on the Grand Utopia topic. What a surprise to see, not one or two but three messages from one of their moderators telling me that the topic does not respect (once again) the rules of their forum.
Indeed, in my last post, in response to a member about the compatibility of v1.12 with ETS 1.43, I briefly mentioned that I would make some modifications to Grand Utopia to prepare its comp...
