Ordyo-Puntick Metropolis / Going International
Posted by yuriyhlmacof on 15 February 2017 in English.Hi mappers!
It has been a long time since my last (and only -_-‘ eheh) diary.
Durign the last three months, in a realy slow pace (because I got into University this year), I worked in three main projects: Nelyto City, Ordyo/Puntick Metropolis and Yuris International Relations.
Nelyto City project is now paused. Nelyto was basicly my experience site. It was my first city, and it was created only with iD, so it has some problems with scale and coastline detailing that I will fix in the future.
Puntick and Ordyo: History
Now, I started using JOSM and Puntick is the “construction site”… Puntick is the old sister of the Yurin capital, Ordyo City. It is located in Girotera Peninsula facing Hallgarve Sea and the Narrow of Ickarion. The first written record wich refers Puntick goes back to 750 a.C. and since then the region has been inhabited. It was the capital city of the region where Yuris is nowadays (in the 14th and 15th centuries, the entire region was occupied by a kingdom called Hallgarv) from 1333 to 1462.
Ordyo City, in the other hand, is one of the most recent world cities. Its construction was proposed by Lenz B. Albano Government in 1957 and was approved in referendum. The idea behind the Ordyo City construction was to “rebuild” the old city of Nodoyeh, the first capital of Yuris that was destroyed in the 14th century by the Hallgarv Kingdom. Since its destruction there were several attempts to rebuild Nodoyeh. However, the ideia of restoring the old Yuris Kingdom glory remained in people’s mind. In the 20th century, when utopian/distopian cultural movements appeared in Yuris, the idea became even more desired. When Puntick started to have urban and social problems, it became imperative to find a solution. President Lenz B. Albano sugested the construction of Ordyo in 1957, the “dream became true” in 1962 and a new capital city was born.
(I will develop the history of this region further in an upcoming wiki article)
Mapping
With all this historic basis I am mapping Puntick and later this year I want to start Ordyo City. For now, Puntick has a detailed historic center and some detailed important areas:
- Kingdom Castle and Downtown (map);
- Winston Smith Square commercial zone (map);
- Puntick Central Station and Santângela (map);
-
Lenz B. Albano International Airport (map wiki) - airport serving both Ordyo and Puntick; - Caius Abbatangelo Racetrack (map);
-
EXPORHO (map wiki) - the international trade fairground and convention center of Puntick-Ordyo. It hosts a lot of events like BD-Con (world’s biggest comics and entertainment convention. Equivalent to real world Comic-Con) and WE2 - World Entertainment Expo - (considered the most important electronics and gaming fair/convention in the world. Equivalent to real world E3).


Plans / Going International
The third project I’m working on is “Going International”. In January I brought some international brands to Yuris: Duchycoffee, Gobeletplain, CitiHotel, Petrosphere, Balmi, Nórd+Súd and Pizza Varela.
Iper, Gigante, Gazela and Cyclo are also planned to expand to Yuris (I will work on that this mont). The first two Yurin embassies abroad where also built in January in Myrcia (map) and Balonis (map).
So, I want to invite all companies which are expanding abroad, to come to Yuris! Yuris is a multicultural country which people want to experience different cultures. Because of this, there is a lot of different businesses from different countries spread around Yurin territory. So, your company(s) is(are) welcome to Yuris!
Finally: I’m looking for airlines that want to make flights to and from LBA International Airport (map) and I’m looking for destinations for TAY Yuris. Are there some countries who want to travel to Yuris or are open to receive the Yurin’s everlasting touristic spirit?

Happy mapping!
- Yuri Yhlmacof (Ilídio)

Check the talk page of LBA International Airport. I posted a message there earlier :)
You may also open Cinepix locations in Yuris if you want.

I think the work you’ve done so far is really promising. The rooflines in Winston Smith Square are particularly interesting, especially in light of the conversation in Diaries last week about mapping for the render. If this were OSM it’d be assumed that each ‘sector’ was a separate building but in OGF I think mapping for this sort of visual effect is okay. I don’t think everyone would agree with me on that!
I will keep an eye on Yuris and I look forward to seeing how it develops.

,,In the 20th century, when utopian/distopian cultural movements appeared in Yuris, the idea became even more desired.

Albano sugested the construction of Ordyo in 1957, the “dream became true” in 1962 and a new capital city was born.’’ This is exactly what happened in Pasalia. The new capital city build in the 50s-70s (inspired by Brasilia and others). Sounds intersting to say the least.

Wow! That looks great!!
StarBurgers would likely be one of the companies most likely to also exist in Yuris, as is [All-n-One](http://wiki.opengeofiction.net/wiki/index.php/All-n-One] as competition with the other places like Gigante moving in (though locations would be sparce).
There’s also going to be a fast food restaurant in the near future named PizacyroHero, which serves sort of a fast-food version of authentic Freedemian pizacyros (sort of a classic Freedemian taco/pizza/gyro combination) but I haven’t mapped any locations or made a wiki page yet.
It seems Yuris is just a bit too far to create a FreedemiAir flight all the way there, especially when there are already a bunch of destinations in the region.

@Litvania - Litvanka is welcome to LBA Airport! I’m happy TAY can fly to Loravia. I will add it on the wiki.
@deltanz - Obrigado pela embaixada! As embaixadas são outro assunto que eu quero desenvolver em breve. Como ainda não comecei a desenvolver Ordyo, não tenho nenhum “Embassy District” para que alguém possa criar a sua própria embaixada em Yuris, então ainda não falei nesse assunto para já. De qualquer maneira, obrigado pela embaixada em Neo Delta! E já agora, como está o projeto da SWAEA? Não tenho visto novidades sobre isso…
@isleño - Thanks for the links. I had already found and read them. I also had done the range map porposed on OGF:Where to fly so I could check if countries which would manifest were close enough to fly between them and Yuris. ;)
@niels20020 - Sorry, I didn’t see your message earlier. Check LBA Airport Talk Page for the answer ;). Cinepix has officially arrived to Yuris ;) I will add the first locations later and add them on the wiki page.
@Myrcia - Yes, the way of using OSM tools in OGF is an interesting topic, indeed. In my opinion, since OGF is a fictional world and thereby it can be considered a creative platform, I think we should not retrict our mapping to the OSM style. OSM is mainly a database and an information platform (althought there are some mappers which push detailing to another level by the creative use of OSM tools), and OGF is a creative platform with an informative basis. What I mean is: OGF is a creative platform and an information/data platform. Therefore we must be able to use OSM tools in creative ways to make our mapping more interesting, but we can’t ignore OSM basic rules because it would compromise the infomative side of OGF like calculating areas and other things. But that is just my opinion… ;)
@kingfries - Well… Indeed, Ordyo City history was inpired by Brasilia. I had already seen Pasaliapolis in OGF map, but I admit I din’t read the wiki article until now. However I don’t think that Yuris capital and Pasalia capital histories are completely equal. Although both Ordyo and Pasaliopolis histories converge on the construction time (20th century 60’s), they are quite different on the rest of the history. For example, Pasaliopolis was created by demolishing its old buildings and streets and updating them and it was a direct result of the urban and social problems it had in the past. Ordyo was built from scratch and Puntick’s problems and the appearence of utopian movements were only the reasons wich lead to Ordyo construction to occur on the 60’s. It is interesting to know how the same real world city could lead to different scenarios. But all this gave me an idea: since the core history of Ordyo and Pasaliapolis are so close it makes a lot of sense that they would be sibling cities… What do you think? Btw… Congrats for your mapping in Pasalia. I realy like your Futuria City and I’m curious about how Utopia City will develop…
@Ernestpcosby - I agree with you… All-n-One and StarBurguers were two of the companies I was planning to bring to Yuris… I’m realy happy that you think they should expand to Yurin territory :D. PazacyroHero looks interesting. I look forward to seeing it soon. About FreedemiAir, I checcked the range map I made with this ‘wiki tutorial’ and Fredemia is indeed out of LBA range… Maybe in the future we can connect Quentinsburg and Ordyo as I develop TAY Yuris and the rest of te country ;)
Happy mapping for everyone and thanks for your comments! ;)

I forgot a thing:
@Myrcia - I made a little ‘easter-egg’ related to Myrcia on this image of EXPORHO Convention Center (tip: check the first floor ;))… I hope you don’t mind…
Comment from Myrcia on 16 February 2017 at 17:47
@yuriyhlmacof I agree very much with what you say about OSM/OGF and I love that easter egg!
Comment from zhenkang on 17 February 2017 at 09:36
From the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Singkangia,
Firstly, I would like to congratulate on your mapping skills. It is superb. After seeing these, I have to discuss with the Minister of Infrastructure and Development to rescale the maps.
Secondly, you are welcomed to build an embassy in Singkangia, whether in Mariana or Odessa. Likewise can I build an embassy in Yuris as well?
Thirdly, I woudl like to know more on your country’s culture. I hope to add a mini Yurintown in my country as well.
Yours sincerely, The Foreign Minister of Singkangia
Comment from yuriyhlmacof on 17 February 2017 at 17:01
@zhenkang - Thank you!
I realy would like to have an embassy in Singkangia. Maybe somewhere around Great Central Park? It would be nice. Just say the best place for it and I can map it if you want. I would also love to have a Singkangia embassy in Yuris. However, there is just a little detail: Ordyo (Yuris capital) is not mapped yet, so I still don’t have a diplomatic district to build embassies on. What I can tell you for now is that Singkangia will be one of the first countries to have an embassy in Yuris, just when I start that area of Ordyo. ;)
Your question about Yuris culture is the hardest to answer. I really didn’t thought about it, but I can tell you some topics I have in mind:
About Yurin people
About Yurin culture:
I will develop all this further in the future in Yuris wiki page.
Once again, thank you for everything.
Happy mapping,

@yuriyhlmacof Sem problemas, quando você constriur a embaixada eu vou dar uma olhada pra ver como ficou! A SWAEA está parada, os outros países membros se envolvem pouco, o único outro membro que ajudava com a página e outros aspectos agora tá ausente, era o dono de Řots. Se você quiser participar mais e tiver ideias, não deixe de entrar em contado ou editar diretamente na wiki! :D
