Project: Valinor


What is Project: Valinor?

Project: Valinor is the creation of a new county, with its capital Valmar, connected by many islands with soon to be road, air and sea access. It is located off of the east Los Santos coast. The county will vary in scenery and island types, with some islands being big or small, some being densely populated or uninhabited and some with lower and higher classes of housing.

Each main island will attempt to have a minimum of 6 in world interiors. In world interiors are interiors within exteriors, you are able to view out of your property to the real, moving world.

How will it be introduced?

The county will be introduced in phases. There is no set deadline for the phases and they can can change at any time.

PHASE 1 - Complete

• Phase 1 is complete and will be introduced at the next readily available server update. This is the testing phase and introduces a very basic island, called Tirion. There will be bugs which will be found and fixed during the second phase. Phase 1 will determine if development on this project continues depending on how the server copes, and players interact. If successful, you can expect to see many more islands and updates, even brand new towns.

PHASE 2 - Not Complete

• This phase will delete the first island, and introduce a new island called Alqualondë (al-qa-londay). The entrance to the island is no longer as steep as it was. Further to this, rather than the first island having a "utopia" look, it will have a look much like Idlewood and surrounding areas. Stores, run down flats, houses and apartments will all feature. Furthermore, there will be open space such as car parks and basketball courts. I also intend to introduce a dockland area, however this may come in the next phase. 

Just a quick update as to the progress. All the basics for the island have been completed and I am now adding the finer details. There will be lots of closed and open spaces featuring basket ball courts, parks and alley ways. Here is a preview of one of the areas.

As you can see, I have gone for a very bland and shitty look to better fit that of Idlewood, Ganton, Temple and similar areas.

Spoiler for Hiden:

PHASE 3 - Not Complete

• The second island, called Tirion, will be a high-medium/low wealth island. It will feature a gas station, stores, restaurants and much more. The third island will be a private gated residence, featuring a few mansions. No name has been decided for this island yet.

PHASE 4 - Not Complete

• This phase will extend on the three islands. It will introduced a countryside island and the capital, Valmar. It has not yet been decided whether Valmar will be its own island or connected to the country.

Cool, do you have any plans for like a countryside island with big forests, farms etc? Or will you focus on regular citys?

Yes, islands will vary in size and type. Some will be small or large, some uninhabited or farm land

No reserves sorry.

We will not expand the current system as we're planning on getting rid of it. However, if businesses are present then in the new logistics systems they will require deliveries.

Dont forget to add a gas station also ATM =)

Countryside! I love countryside...

[Khm]

Is it possible now to set houses and businesses outside of SA map?
Love the idea though.

Well I'm not happy about Mankey, you will destroy the fish in the sea with pollution of the new island  Those poor fishy fishsticks.. Nah it's good man! Can't wait to roam around and looking for a cool new place to live at!

No limits on how far we expand, which is awesome to see. Let's hope this will pay off the effort despite the unavoidable limits 
It looks amazing
