Hey, everyone!

Now that I’m on OGF for a few months I think it is time to “think out loud” and share some ideas and projects.

I’ve requested a country some time ago and I’ve been working on it. Real life got realy complicated so the progress is not at full rythm. However it gives me some time think and dig deeper on the projects I want to do in OGF.

For now the project is Nelyto City, the third largest city in Yuris. I’ve decided not to star with the capital city because I want to make it a “special” and in a more complex and large way. So, by doing other cities and building other parts of the coutry I hope to get more bases to the “Big Plan”.

Nelyto is the first project of a hole country that I want to build. I’ve already done the basic structure of the city and outlined its history. Now, inpired by other users’ projects (like QUARTA, Trevers Metro and others), I’m developing the public transportation system of the city in the map itself and in the wiki (I’m realy excited with wiki, although when I joined the OGF community I thought I would not dedicate much time to the wiki).

I don’t want to make this post much longer so, here is what I have so far! :D

I hope you enjoy! Best regards!

P.S. Sorry if there are any errors in the writing… I don’t speak english many times, so it is likely that there is a lot of them :S

History

As one of the first cities of the country and one of its main harbours, Nelyto is a very rich city in terms of history. The foundation of Nelyto goes back to the contruction of Castelo de São Francisco (Saint Francis Castle). Over time, the city began to expand, firstly by adding a new wall to the city and then by expanding outside the walled city.

The city’s life has always been related to the sea and its activities throughout time (the main economic area of Nelyto was fishing) so, the city developed towards the sea by the junction of the fisherman’s village (next to Praia dos Pescadores - Fisherman’s Beach) and the main city in expansion.

In the 17th century the Fortaleza de Nelyto (Nelyto Fortress) was built to protect the city and its harbour that became one of the main trade centers of the continent.

In the 18th century began the construction of the “Boulevard Plan”: a project that consisted on the construction of a great avenue, starting on the fortress leading to the old city, and a entire new part of the city in a grid pattern (considered the ideal city scheme by the time).

From there till now Nelyto City has grown and became a financial and commercial center of Yuris and its neighbor countries.

Nelyto Underground

“The Nelyto Underground Transportation System (simply known as Nelyto Underground or Metro de Nelyto) is the metro (subway) system of Nelyto City, Yuris. Opened in December 1957, it was the third subway system in Yuris following Ordyo City and Botiliana.” (text of the wiki article)

So far, I’ve developed the metro system on the OGF map and I’ve created the NU logo, a map of the network and the ticket design for the wiki. I’m still working in other details like train design, station signs and the NU history.

Ticket types

• Zapping - The user can travel in all the NU network by the price of 1.20 scudos each time it enters at the turnstiles of the metro station. The card is rechargeable and is valid for 1 year.
• Intermodal Card - The user pays a montlhy fee and is free to travel in all the NU network and other transportation services provided by Move Nelyto, E. Pu. company (bus, train and others - TBD) in Nelyto City Metropolitan Area.
