I am working on a coastal island supported largely by tourism, such as people vacationing there for the holidays and in the summer to enjoy the beach, or those looking to get to the beach a few hours drive from where they live as a quick weekend trip. I’d like some help shaping the island so it isn’t super wide, and is shorter on both the far right and far left sides of it, has room in the middle for multiple streets, and looks a bit more like a realistic island. I’d also like some help making the island a little bit bigger in size. Can someone help me with this? I have ideas in mind for what will go on the island, which will probably be just a single town, but I first need help making a good island, which I have little experience in doing. I’m getting some inspiration for my island from the island where the town of Ocean Isle Beach in North Carolina, USA is, which is a place I’ve been to a few times over the years as I have some relatives who live not far from there.

The island is off the coast of the town of Newington, south of West Bay City in the country of Commonia.

I was previously working on a small town along the highway that connects to two cities on either end of it, called Galentia, closest to the city of Celemberra in Commonia. Galentia was designed and built around a service area where people could stop along the highway, with little built for people to live there. I wanted to build something bigger, but didn’t want to mess up the idea of my town being built to be more of a service area town by making it into a city. I have little experience in making cities, and have only started working on my first town I spent a lot of time building just a few weeks ago. Also I just started using OGF in mid January. In Commonia there is a coastal city called Ambiskus City that stops at the country border near it in the direction of south, but has lots of room within the same country to grow in the direction of east. I was thinking of building a city across the border from it, just like how San Diego, California, USA and Tijuana, Mexico are next to each other on either side of the USA/Mexico Border. Anyone interested in starting a city with me there?

I am fairly new to OpenGeoFiction, having created an account here last month. I had attempted to start a town off of a highway within 24 hours of joining, but realised I was not all that experienced with making towns and cities in OpenGeoFiction, so I decided to make some tests and try out stuff without saving it to the map for all to see, and started thinking about a smaller town idea I could easily make. Recently I created the town of Galentia as my first town I a fully creating, located off of West Central Expressway I-101 in Commonia, designed to be a stop along the highway/motorway on long routes, where you can get gas, food or even stay the night at a hotel. I built it along the motorway West Central Expressway I-101 seeing that a super long stretch of it was empty, had no gas stations along it, or even any population at all. I built it a little ways from the city of Celemberra so that if this were real life, there’d be cars actually consistantly using the nearby motorway and there’d be many people who’d stop in the town of Galentia. The town of Galentia also has some houses and a small population, although is mainly built as a stop for long routes along the nearby motorway. The town of Galentia is currently only being based on my experiences stopping along the highway in the various parts of the USA (I visit family for Thanksgiving on the east coast each year and drive a few hours from the airport to the beach, I live in Western Colorado and drive a few hours to Denver multiple times a year, occasionaly make other long drives throughout the country and in a lot of the drives final destinations I’ve stayed in hotels that are there) to small towns thats main offerings are services that would be mainly used by people who stop off of the highway.

I started a town in Commonia near the Gateway Lake called Kingston, that is at the end of a prexisting highway that I turned into a primary road, then a secondary road and then a lot of living streets. It has an elementrary, middle and high school that are on the same school grounds, a catholic church (although I’ve only attened a single church service in my life, as a few students in my schools band wanted to play at a church in my neighborhood that our band director joined us for, which I was a part of), some houses, and a solar factory that much of the adults citizens work at. It could use some editing because I am new to this site, and am a beginner architect. Could someone check it out and fix the buildings to be of a more realistic size? I plan to request a territory in the future, but for now, I am working on a small town to practice my skills on this site, and to get better before taking on a whole territory, country or city.

This site seems really cool, because it’s like OpenStreetMap and Wikipedia put together onto a map, that anyone can edit (although users are entitled to there own lands that admins give them, and not everyone can just edit wherever they want) and add to. Also anyone can just show off there city designs on it as well. I’ve had many ideas for fictional cities, towns and countries, but never had a site like this to put it on, that people could view, edit and make suggestions of the designs of.

This entry is no longer relevant since I got a reply, that had helped me learn where I am allowed to actually start on the map. See the above entry on the status of the city of Kingston which has now been started as a very small town in Commonia.

I am new to this site, and think this site has a great idea in it. One large fictional world map designed after the basic maps style of Google Maps and OpenStreetMap, but we add the cities and towns to the map, and it’s all fictional and set up so everyone collaborates and adds to the map. I am wanting to populate and urbanize the Northeastern Confederacy and build a coastal city named Kingston, that has good forms transportation, such as fast trains and lots of train tracks, large highways that connect to other existing highways, etc. I built the tinest stretch of highway that turns into a tinty secondary road at the end of it, and train tracks that run parrel to it, and a train station at the end of the train tracks which end at the end of the highway. Your welcome to add to my city Kingston, just work together and decide amongst yourselves how desiging and making it will happen, and who will do stuff. Do whatever you like, I just have a few ideas I’d prefer you use. They are: -Urbanize and populate the Northeastern Confederacy -Eventually it should end up being a large city -Make sure it has good transportation, such as a large highway that connects to an existing highway, train tracks that support fast speeds connecting to exisiting train tracks, etc. Do whatever you like to it. I’ll try to learn how to be a better editor as I continue to use the site some more. I just wanted to share my idea for a city, and hope people will consider helping me make the city I have an idea for.
