Visually it looks amazing. Love the addition of the "parallel roads" feature too, that'll be a huge timesaver.

I love me some cities skylines. Even if it's just me making the worst-designed cities and getting mad about traffic.

The hype is real!

Parking lots

Wow. Now you can finally build realistic American cities ;)

Do most cities in America have parking lots. I feel like every city I go to the parking is hardest thing to find. Walmarts and malls being the exception.

I'm staying away for my own good. The first game sucked waaaay too many hours out of my life!

As a console player, this is immensely exciting.

Built in sewage & electricity to the roads! No more forgetting, and having a sewage backup emergency in your cities

Glad to see these tools be adopted in the sequel. They where some of the most popular mods for a reason

Nice to read and all, and I'm looking forward to that game, but am I the only one who expects a "development diary" to contain some information about the actual development of the game rather than just a feature presentation?

[–] YMS@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Revisiting my comment after the second episode was released: Interestingly, they run the same series of content under two different titles. Under https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/forums/cities-skylines-2.1147/ it's featured as "Development Diaries", while under https://www.paradoxinteractive.com/games/cities-skylines-ii/features the exact same bits are labelled "Feature Highlights".
Both places contain the same video, again titled "Feature Highlight", and the same roadmap for upcoming episodes of this series, titled "Dev Diaries Road Map".

I'm so happy to see a thread about Cities Skylines here! And one with plenty of reactions and comments.

I was worried the community would vanish along with Reddit and I would have go elsewhere to get my complex intersection fix..

Me too—I was saddened when r/CitiesSkylines didn't take part in the blackout. A community for a game that became as successful as it is in part due to the hard work of unpaid third-party developers should have been at the forefront of the protests
