You ought to be in pixels

Animated Pixelated Cities: Gaze at the extreme pixelated detail of the neighborhoods of Pixeldam (including a pixel Starbucks with tiny coffees and a pixel strip club) or the science fiction themed PixelMoon, collectively generated by over a hundred contributors. There is also the slightly less impressive PixelPlaza and the oddness of IsoCity and Sumea, as well as the impressive work of eboy [prev]. Ready to try yourself, but don't have the pixel skills? City Creator has you covered.

And if you are looking for a place to start at Pixeldam, the featured blocks is a good way to see some of the more amazing detail.

Is anyone else creeped out by the fact that while a lot of things move in Pixeldam, the people don't?

Yes they do.

Awesome. Awesomely awesome. Give my this stuff (the good ones, at least) over polygons any day. I love it.

This is giving me flashbacks to the early versions of "Sim City".

And to X-COM.

Very cool.

Keep an eye out for Bender, Fry and Leila on the moon.

Shouldn't it be Coffee Company rather than Starbucks in Pixeldam?

Does anybody else love how pixel worlds are so perfect? There's something fascinating about a world that's completely ordered.

TWO Benders, a Fry, a Leila, and what looks like a Scootie Puff Jr.

I bet it's been featured before here, anyway: New York in Sim City

(It seems that we have digged metafiltered Pixel Dam.)

PixelDamn. Sorry about that - I would suggest bookmarking either the site or this post and coming back to it later, the site is definitely work checking out.
