Here's the idea: Build a huge city in which every building is unique and connected. No, not Watch_dogs connected, but connected as if the town was alive. Now, imagine the city as big as the eye can't see. That's my goal with this. I suppose in the future, I could turn this into an open-world adventure map, but for now, it's just a city.
I am working on a city map, (name not available). I will update this post regularly with a new copy of the map with new buildings/stuff. Also, I am open to suggestions. Leave a comment for what kind of buildings you would want me to make, (stores, offices, skyscrapers, etc.). I will take all into consideration!
Here are some pictures if you're curious about the map, but don't want to download it quite yet because it made be sketchy, which I can assure you, it is not.
Thank you, and I hope you enjoy and continuously support me, as this is a one man job.

Do you have a general idea of the city parameters or are you just building as you go? I don't have much in the way of suggestions for specific buildings, but I do highly recommend you have a general idea going on - either in the size, or the scope, or a city grid or something. Cities tend to look more real when it looks like it was planned out for a particular purpose. I don't know if that helps you or not. Maybe you can plan small blocks one at a time, but if you want it to feel interconnected and alive, it's good to have an idea of your next step along the way.
Perhaps you could find a spot for a "Capitol" building - get a large centralized structure and build things around that.
Again, if that's not in your plan you should do your own thing.

For now, every city block is 33 blocks in length on each side, so that's basically all I have going at the moment. I want to have skyscrapers/tall buildings near the back of the city, or really just in every other block that doesn't have a tinier shop. Everything's currently being built around the park/fountain area, though I'm not sure that it'll work best that way, so I plan on building a town/city hall soon.
Thank you very much for your advice and I will highly take it into consideration.

Any suggestions on possible buildings I should build?
