  • Hello! I am another developer for the Aberdeen map. Here are some more progress pictures.

    I'm excited to deliver a quality North American map for the community!

  • Continuing development and progress on more parts of the map! Took the ADL Enviro 400 around the city -- some things need to be altered, for example, some signs are too low and thus clip into the top of the vehicle. However, the bus still manages to squeeze below the traffic lights at most intersections!





    We have been hard at work, creating a completely new area recently. Screenshots to come next week!

  • Introducing the Aberdeen MotorBus Repaint! Designed in partnership with Ale041

    Please let us know any suggestions or ideas for the repaint!




    Also, we have updated our Network Map! See the full resolution on our website here!


    Finally, we are beginning to look for contributors that can help us with translation of important map documents into German. Please let us know in the thread or by PM if you are interested in helping us with this endeavour!

  • Hey,

    Nice repaint design so far. Some shots in the daylight would be highly appreciated to see the little details better. :)

    I would be interested in translating some documents into German. If you're interested as well, just pm me.

  • The Aberdeen Art Gallery holds the most pieces of modern art in North America. The project was approved to be built in 2009, and recently finished in 2016. This building alone increased the amount of tourists in the city by a large amount, which prompted the city to move several routes to terminate at the art gallery. Aside from being one of the major tourist attractions in the city, the gallery is also located in the heart of the financial district of Aberdeen.

  • New Year's Progress for Aberdeen!

    We have not updated this thread since last month, but we assure you that map progress is still taking place! A few updates for you in the meantime:


    1. The road network that will be present for version 1.0 of the map has been fully completed!


    As of the new year, we have completed the road network for the final area of the map that will be included in the first release. This area is the Waterfront Public Market, and will be serviced by both Route 7 and Route 17. This is going to be a heavy tourist area and will feature a pedestrian friendly environment.



    This is the terminus bus loop that will be featured in the area. There will be scenery added in the very near future, and we can't wait to show you more of the progress as we continue detailing the area.


    On the other side of the map, our other developer has been hard at work creating an authentic depot experience. Referring to the map (on the original thread), the Victoria Garage is located across the river from Pacific Central Station, and features a large complex for bus storage. It is one of many depots that will be featured in future versions of the map!




    As you may also notice in the last screenshot, we are introducing a new AMB subsidiary to the world of Aberdeen named AirLink. This service, which features a repaint similar to the Sound Transit livery in Seattle in real life, will operate the express line that connects Aberdeen International Airport to the Waterfront district in Downtown Aberdeen. We will have more news about the fleet coming soon!


    In other news, we have also revamped some of the older parts of the map from earlier in the development process. In particular, intersections from the earliest parts of the map are being upgraded so they better reflect a more realistic layout. The pictures below show the shoulder extension upgrade for the Washington/Norman/Broadway intersection (from the second post in this thread back in Summer 2020!)

    2. In case you missed it, we released a care package a couple of weeks ago to get you ready for the map release!


    While we were hard at work continuing progress on the map throughout the Christmas season, we also wanted to create something special for the community that has been so supportive of our efforts this past year. In light of this, we created a Christmas Care Package, which includes postcards and a custom splashscreen. Make sure to check that out if you haven't already!

    3. Beta Testing applications have been released!


    Since we are nearing the conclusion of the first release of the map, we are beginning to open applications for Beta Testing. Please note that the roll-out of the first beta is unlikely to happen before reading break/spring break, however, applications will be reviewed on a first-come-first-serve basis, as well as quality of application and experience in OMSI 2 development. We encourage everyone to apply, however, there will be a limited number of copies distributed for the beta program.


    We are also hoping to involve the international OMSI 2 community in the Beta Testing program as we believe that input from players outside of the North American OMSI community is very valuable. If you are from Europe or any other place in the world, we would love to have you on the Beta Testing Team and would appreciate the feedback that you provide. Please do take the moment to apply for a position in Beta Testing!

    4. Join the Discord server for the most up-to-date development news and screenshots!


    This has been a long post, but finally, I would also like to encourage you to join the NorthWest Studios Discord Server. We post the most up-to-date information on this platform and the quickest way to follow our map progress is on this server! We would love for you to join us there!

    Thank you for taking the time to read this post! We hope to have more great news for you soon!

  • Planned Fleet, AI Lists, & Repaints Rollout!

    Map progress is continuing strongly into the first month of the year! Today, we would like to share some news about our plans for the map's planned AI lists, and showcase some of the repaints that have been generously designed and made by Ale041 !

    1. Design of the Repaints

    Aberdeen Motorbus Company (AMB) operates under two distinct liveries: the Sweep "Red" Standard and the Airlink Livery, a subsidiary operated in partnership with Aberdeen International Airport. The original design of the Sweep "Red" Standard was created by Ale041 and takes heavy inspiration from the design seen in Amsterdam, Netherlands for "R-Net". The AirLink livery on the other hand, was designed by reappearings (Co-Founder of NorthWest Studios) and takes inspiration from the real life livery of the Sound Transit system in Seattle, Washington.


    There is also a third livery that AMB has operated with in the past, which was replaced by the Sweep "Red" Standard at the turn of the millennium. This repaint is currently being designed and will be featured in a later patch for Aberdeen (after the official v1.0 release). The plan is to introduce this livery with the "Chrono" Update, which will feature additional scenarios, including a late 90's version of Aberdeen and construction events.




    2. Planned AI Lists

    We plan to release several AI-Lists for the map so that the choices cater to both the American and European OMSI 2 community. The default AI-List will include only the buses from the Chicago DLC, which is a requirement for the map.

    Standard

Here are the links to the downloads (if released) and information on their inclusion in the map download packs.

  • A Long Overdue Progress Update

    1.) The elephant in the room...

    Sorry for the lack of updates recently, school has been occupying a lot of my time. However rest assured that we are working hard to finish the map.


    So far areas we have completed include, but are not limited to:

    • Waterfront Beach Street
    • Waterfront Market
    • Eisenhower Square Park
    • Aberdeen Art Gallery

    And to keep you on track with the numbers:

    • 100% of spline connections are done
    • 85% of scenery is done
    • 15 blocks left to scenerize
    • 100% helpers complete

    2.) Progress Pictures


    Eisenhower Square Park



    Jordan Avenue



    Waterfront-Beach Street (Old Waterfront Train Station)



    Waterfront Public Market Bus Terminal

    3.) Planned Release Date...?

    Unfortunately we are not ready to announce an official release date, however with our ongoing progress and hard work, you can expect the map to be out before the end of 2021. However it is unlikely we will release the map in November or December. For now you can use your judgement and make your best guesses. :)

    For more frequent updates, feel free to join our Discord Server by clicking here.

  • Just a couple more pictures of our development. We are getting closer and closer to a release, with details being added in previously developed areas as well! Next step will be to get the station links in place.


    We are also potentially looking for additional developers to help with creating more Aberdeen branded repaints. Please do check the list of repaints already created and contact us if you are interested in creating for other buses!

  • Aberdeen Release 1.0 - Advent Calendar 2021

    After 1.5 years of development, NorthWest Studios is excited to release Aberdeen for everyone to enjoy! Thank you to everyone for all the positive and constructive feedback over our development cycle and the tremendous patience as we approached the map’s completion.


    We can’t wait for everyone to take to the streets of Aberdeen and share their experience on the map! Support will be offered on our discord server and on the forum, but we hope that our efforts in the past couple months will make the installation process as easy as possible!


    The map is available exclusively on the Webdisk Advent Calendar 2021 for December 5, 2021.


    If you have missed this date, the map will become re-released after the Advent Calendar has finished.
