Hello dear Patrons,
It's Friday and it's time to review the events of the past week!
[1] MAPPING FOLLOW-UP GRAND UTOPIA
As announced in my last report, the town of St-Sylvestre-Cappel being finished, I attacked this week the creation of the scenery around the different roads that will allow you to access this new town.
Northern access roads
To the north of the town you will find two roads: the N4 and the D6.

Hello my dearest Patrons,
I'm happy to ask for your opinion regarding the placement of certain icons on the worldmap. A few days ago, I had a huge doubt and, after talking to some of the Patrons on the Discord, I realised that it would be better to officially ask everyone's opinion via a small poll.
This survey is about how to place the height restriction icon on the world map. The height restriction icon allows you to visualise the location of an obstacle.
By "obstacle"...

Hello dear Patrons,
As mentioned in my last report, there will be no Weekly Report this week. I wanted to keep you informed and I do apologise for this.
As a reminder, I've been away for several days this week and haven't been able to do much mapping. I prefer to keep the limited progress I made for next week's report!
To keep you waiting, I am pleased to present you with the first image of the historical centre of Saint-Sylvestre-Cappel, where you will be able to drive to a...

Saint-Sylvestre-Cappel
This week's report will be quite short as I only continued the construction of the hyper-centre of Saint-Sylvestre-Cappel. As you can see on the pictures attached to this report, there is still a lot of work to do before I can offer you real and beautiful...

Hello dear Patrons,
Here is a pre-release of my next YouTube video. This is the eleventh episode of the Silent Driving series in which I drive a very old Saviem to deliver moving boxes to the Dukes of Aelvinque castle!
Feel free to watch the end of the video to see me struggling to park this old thing in the castle yard 😂

Good morning dear Patrons,
Once again, I am late for this vote and I am sorry!
So we've reached the 3rd and final vote to decide what the name of the British island of our beautiful utopia will be. In the previous polls, you gradually eliminated the names you had the opportunity to submit, leaving only two.
It is now time for the final duel.
Obviously, only one name per vote.
The poll will close on 4 January 2023 at 9:00 am ...

This week the southern part of Sint-Sylvestre-Cappel was started and it has progressed very well. It's amazing how sometimes I feel like I'm moving really fast and sometimes I feel like I'm stagnating (rowing) in some places 😂
The southern zone will consist of a small logistic/ind...

Very little progress this week in terms of mapping and I'm really sorry about that! As announced in my last report, I was away last weekend and especially on Saturday, the day of the week when I normally do most of the work.
Instead, I've made progress on a few things that we'll look at together in the next sections of this report ...

Hello dear Patrons,
As the official arrival of the British territory is planned for v1.15 following the creation of the English village of Denver, I think it is time to choose a name for the territory that will be under the rule of Charles III 👑
I have decided to let you choose the name of this new archipelago. The first step is to collect your ideas and that's why I'm sending you this link today. It will take you to a Google Form where you can submit your idea(s) (yes, you can...

Hello my dear Patrons,
Quick post to let you know that a new Let's Do Some Mapping episode is available in early access on my YouTube channel for the next 48 hours. It's been a while since I last made a video, so please forgive me for this long absence.
In this video, I work on creating a pasture on the small archipelago of Denver.

To summarise the situation, at present I write the reports on Sunday morning and publish them immediately. I may exceptionally write the report in advance and schedule an automatic publication when I know I will not be able to write the report on a Sunday. However, it turns out that writing a report on a Sund...

Grand Utopia
Hello dear Patrons,
As you know, I recently released version 0.5 (alpha) of Mygotopia, as well as version 1.14.6 (beta) of Grand Utopia. Now I am wondering what I should do and I am hesitating between these two options:
OPTION 1
I can continue the creation of Mygotopia with the village of Foxhaven, according to what I announced a few months ago, i.e. to work on Mygotopia until three cities are added.
OPTION 2
I can go back to the creat...
EDIT : I made a small mistake concerning the Grand Utopia mod which causes a deactivation of all ferry connections. The error has been corrected, so I invite you to download version 1.14.6 again from this post. The modification was made on 10/10/22 at 5:30 pm).
