Hooray \o/
What you gonna do with the bird during the night time btw? If the diabolical blue tosser changes into a bat, I may just uninstall the first mod I added.
P.S. Give us all some more info, for God's sake. Some diary, a picture, a video of a dude getting knocked off his bike by a sausage van... something.
P.P.S. Will there be sharks to feast on fat tourists?
Will they drown if we don't provide enough lifeguards ???? (Almost makes me want to play Beach life again
)
The chirper turning into a bat thing sounds really cool lol... I hope they do that!
Dev diaries incoming, starting in approximately a week.
That's great news! Eagerly waiting for the dev diaries.
Well they have to do something, as birds are asleep at night, and you can't have a bright blue bird sitting there in the wee hours, that would be silly. I guessed at bat as being the obvious choice; maybe they will call it Squeaky. It would be good if at twilight the blue tosser flew away to be replaced with Squeaky and his, hopefully cooler, night-time 'squeaks.'

I had to double check it wasn't actual quotes, looks eerily much like how I'm currently forced to communicate
You guys and gals have to ask things that aren't about release date and price!
Like, like, ask me when the first dev diary is planned!

...and... when is the first dev diary planned ? (but didn't you already answer that ? )
)I have a question.
I like to use European maps, and commercial & high density residential buildings have a particular architecture which is consistent. Will my entertainment area of clubs and bars use the European building style? Will the new entertainment buildings have variants for the Euro & International themes? Or will they come more as a theme of stand alone style buildings without conforming to the building styles of the two existing building themes?
Thanks

Since the mods for per-district themes and unlocking themres are reasonably popular, do you plan on making it a standard feature in the After Dark update, instead of having it in modzone?
I doubt the base game would overflow with assets by this change alone. Modders adding tons of assets are what pressures the game.
Also: will we get anything related to mod-sanitation in After Dark?
By that I mean:
Asset Ghost Mode - every modded asset should have a modder-selectable base asset. Base assets must be base game-provided buildings, can't be other mods. If the mod asset is not available by being uninstalled or disabled or in ghost mode, the base asset is loaded instead, to prevent the city buildings from disappearing and being wiped out on next save, which could disrupt the simulation and break a city. (for this to work a list of mod assets would have to be saved with the city I suppose)
Robust asset consistency unit checks (useble when not inside a city sim) - to check whether the asset(s) data is really consistent and the game loader won't barf on it. Ability to auto disable/enable assets if they don't pass consistency checks.

Well then. What is in the first dev diary?
What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

A bat would be good, or a chirpy-ized owl! Maybe at day break Chirpy will crow the day in like a cockerel?

I was hoping for a rural/farm expansion. Farms right now may as well not be in the game. Wheat fields and pastures the size of an elementary school, lol.
