Cities: Skylines

A new developer diary for Cities Skylines 2 has been released, and is chock-full of information and interesting insights about the upcoming game.

Many well-requested improvements, some mechanics introduced in Cities Skylines 1 DLC and one entirely new service type are all coming to the game.

A friend who is on holiday in Brazil sent me this picture. My first reaction was why is he sending me a City Skylines screenshot ?

It's Thursday, so time for another developer insight!

So much new stuff announced: Mixed use, zoning styles, supply chain, signature buildings, industrial zones, building themes and much more!

I'm looking for suggestions! Always love watching City Planner Plays, Biffa is nice here and there. Looking for other creators to add to my watch list. Thank you!!

Just finished with a fresh re-install after a few months away from, and updates to the game. Going through my subscriptions to see whats broken or discontinued and came across Skyve instead of Compatibility report tool.

I run Linux so was expecting some issues when I realized Skyve worked with an external app. However I was wrong and pleasantly surprised when it just worked as described.

What a great app! It does everything and does it well. Subscribe, unsub, suggest replacement mods for incompatible ones. The lot!

There's no real point to this post other than to say how impressed I am and to say thanks to anyone involved in making this mod and app combo, if any happen to read this.

Another favourite English village screenshot from my last city.

Mostly the same as we already saw, but they did show the new upgrade tree! And it looks very in depth, and exciting.

Really thorough review of the latest traffic AI video released. I hadn't noticed there were no rain effects in the video which I also hope is included when released.

This is my favourite screenshot from a part of an English village in my last city.

I said it when SC5 was released and I'll say it here. I've been laying pipe for 25 years and I'll be damned if they take that from my cold dead mouse and keyboard. But alas, water, electricity, and poop pipes are now apart of the road system.

New video from the guy who already played Cities Skylines 2 and built the city from trailer.

Darn hot here. 32℃ is maybe not much for some people, but it will take some time for me to get used to.

CS1 had game mechanics for cold. You think CS2 eventually gonna get some effects for particularly hot days? In real life crime increases when theres a heat wave. Beaches (and traffic to beaches) fills up. Tourism increases. And many hot days without rain becomes droughts. And chance for forest fires increases. All the air conditioners drains more power, which must be mitigated by having a city with more greens.

Having a few of these mechanics in the game could be fun. Or annoying when roads you never had any plans for gets packed with traffic, of course.
