Building a City Takes a Long Time

Derek Thomas Pearce crating the Sault in a virtual world

It’s has been a few months since we told you about a unique project that a group of geeks are working on in town. Project Sault Ste. Marie is still very much a work in progress and its founder, Derek Thomas Pearce is still hard at work with 3D modelling of iconic Sault features.

“We have completed the bulk of the roads and streets in the west end” Pearce tells SaultOnline.com

For those of you who may not know what project Sault Ste. Marie is, SaultOnline.com did a story on the project https://saultonline.com/2014/12/local-gamers-attempting-to-create-sault-ste-marie-simcity/

The group plans on modifying a popular game, SimCity that uses the Sault as the city to build as part of the game. That’s where this group comes in…because they are painstakingly 3D modelling the entire area.

The group also launched a new site to give those interested an update of where the project is right now.

3D modelling takes a lot of time, here's one building in the city - do you know where it is?
