It instantly brings back memories of the original simcity games and is very similar to the works of eboy. Using a few photoshop brushes you can create a plot of land for this map in no time at all. You can tell some of the artists have spent a long time of theirs. I especially love the sense of humour in some of the creations.

The site was originally created with a google maps platform but suffered from a huge hit rate and was taken down. I’m very glad to say it is now back up and surprisingly it is now built using the Microsoft silverlight platform. This is one of the first times i have seen a practical use of the silverlight over adobe flash. A hint of things to come perhaps?]]> http://www.graphic-euphoria.co.uk/goon-city-a-pixel-art-world/feed 0
