Okay, so a while ago a did a poll to see if anyone would be interested in a #Megaquarium video showing some building tips... after the response (mainly from @AurochDigital) I started thinking about what I'd show off in said video.
I started making a list... outdoor areas, decorations, 2 sided walls, toilet blocks, libraries, pet stores, a café, toy stores... & then I realised I was designing a small town.
Then the idea kind of solidified & work on Megaquapolis (pronounced like Megatropolis) was born.

It's slow work, but so far I've made the sea front, complete with a palm lined beach, an ice cream kiosk & the pier.
I've also made a small toy store at the entrance of the town.
The first pet store & a little outdoor seating area.
One of many public use bathrooms & a better look at the seating area.
Plus an area with just an empty shirt stand... there'll be a clothes store eventually.

So yeah, this mythical video probably won't exist any time soon, but Megaquapolis is growing bit by bit.
I'm trying to make it functional as well as showing what you can do with the tools... so far it's reasonably profitable despite the lack of fish/ exhibits.

Oh, & yeah... I plan to actually have an aquarium in this town.
Like, a small one... but still.
Plus a museum, café, houses & a bunch of other unnecessary stuff.
I may never actually finish this, but I still seriously love this game.

Since there's already a thread I'm just gonna add more to this & tag @AurochDigital.
I'm now a little over 8 hours in (the game crashed & I lost some progress sadly) & I'm still working on Megaquapolis.
I've realised stairs make a pretty nifty roof edge, which I might use more.

I've also started to actually populate the ocean... so far I just have a nurse shark (name suggestions welcome) & an octopus called Houdini because they're literally invisible all of the time.
I wanted the pier columns to look neat, but to also work as steps...

I've also started the actual aquarium part of my town.
I'm trying to be a little more creative with floor patterns & stuff like that.
So far it has a lobby, gift shop, cafeteria, store rooms & a toilet.
The tanks are all empty so far, but a lot of the basic elements are there.

Lastly (for now) there's the book shop with a restoration happening next door where there's some excavated ruins on a building site.
I often use the platforms to mark areas in working on since they remind me of scaffolding.
I haven't hired anyone to work in here yet.

The boxes are supposed to represent those display tables you get in book stores... it kinda works.
But yeah, so far I'm pretty chuffed with it.
There's still a long way to go, but it's a fun little project to keep adding to, especially with the apocalypse happening right now.
