I’ve seen some of you make a large city in only 30 days. May I ask; How do you do this? I think it’s just amazing. I have my own city linked below. Any tips for my city?

There are still quite a number of issues for the city. Buildings are too large, and theres still that motorway tunneling underneath a business district.
And it is not important to learn how to develop a big city immediately. People have their own time to learn on making realistic ones. Why not also explore other features like rivers and forests?

It depends on how much effort you put into the city and how much time you spend on it.
“Rome wasn’t built in a day.” -John Heywood.
Don’t fill up spaces between roads with buildings, buildings, buildings… Try to actually look at your inspiration (Tokyo?) and ‘replicate’ (not actually) the infrastructure. Try to spend some time; don’t rush the mapping.

I’m working on my city since March and I’m still not finished. It depends on how much you detail it, how detailed you make your buildings, streets and how much “decoration” you add. If you want to have a look: https://opengeofiction.net/#map=14/-11.5206/18.6037

Giliarca: 2 years, if you want an actual example.

I’ve been working on Lake City for about a year and a half, but honestly I don’t think I’ll ever be done mapping it. There’s always more detail to be added, and cities themselves are growing, evolving places. Great cities, both in OGF and in the real world, are never truly completed.

I’m also have to something that i could call “Good city”, but it isn’t completed yet, but if you want to take some inspirations for your city, you can look at my “at the moment” largest city: https://opengeofiction.net/#map=15/-35.9260/166.2303

austinhuang, I was going to say it … thanks! Exactly two years. Maybe it could be that I took longer than normal with Giliarca, but a good year for a detailed city, in my opinion it takes.
