This project is awesome, and I love that there are people who are driven enough to make something with so much craft, attention, and duration.

That being said I have three kids (one a newborn) - there's no possible way I could have done this in the before times!

you don't have to do it alone

I got a recommended video in Youtube just the other day, where a bunch of users made NYC in Minecraft at a 1:1 scale: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZouSJWXFBPk

Granted, it was a team effort, but that's a lot more laborious than a pixel-art view.

Also, sites like Pixeljoint used to (or still do? I haven't really kept up) collaborations. This would be a mammoth one, but the result would be much more impressive. This is a cool concept, but it's definitely not pixel art by any definition.

Awesome, let's look at this in privacy conscious browser:

Also while searching for SimCity screenshots I found someone recreating NYC in SimCity 4 https://www.reddit.com/r/simcity4/comments/12dkxey/check_out...

Huh, the linked instagram account is no longer available :/

I still see it at https://www.instagram.com/minninycity04, with two video posts
