Paradox Interactive has today opened up the “Save The Lot” campaign where players can sign up and help create a beautiful in-game item for Cities: Skylines—a tranquil Japanese-inspired city park. City builder enthusiasts can head to citiesskylines.com and sign up to receive the item upon release, and the more sign ups the more illustrious the park will become. For more details, please visit www.citiesskylines.com.

From zoning to building, from utilities to beautification, and from taxation to outreach, players of Cities: Skylines will have total control in endless sandbox gameplay across massive maps – all with extensive built-in mod support. Vast backdrops and maps provide players with countless ways to improve and expand their cities, building from humble beginnings up to beautiful, cloud-hugging structures and unique architectural marvels.

I would sign up for the garden; if the citieskylines.com site accepted my account information. ("The account could not be found.") Or does it want something other than my info here? It asked for my Paradox account information. I'm confused.

Yes, it's your Paradox account. Are you signing in with email or username?

Nice work on the trailer! Would love to have that Japanese Garden lot in my city

I had account issues too. Just resetted my password, set it to the same password and that worked! (just copied it out of the Keychain, I don't remember my own passwords since so long now xD).

There is a some kind of hidden message in the trailer i think. Lol

"Sometimes an opportunity exists for the people to voice their support to something different. Now, that opportunity is presented itself with what to do with an empty lot right in the heart of Cities: Skylines. Our first suggestion came from the town of Boreton. It reminded us that you just can't go wrong with the...power lines? Then, our neighbours in Britton suggested something different. Imagine a glorious japanese garden right in the heart of the city. A zen garden, a koi pond and cherry trees. Sure, we can do the same thing our city's builders have been doing for years. Or we could show the world what creative city building is all about. Sign the petition to save the lot and give something different to the players of Cities: Skylines. It takes a little bit of effort to get a lot of enjoyment."

We have an opportunity to support something different, Cities: Skylines. We can suggest what to do and
we can affect the heart of this amazing game. Cities: Skylines can do the same thing our city builder games have been doing for years, or it could show the world what creative city building is all about. Buy the game to support the developers and give something different to the players. It takes a little bit of effort from CO to really make this an enjoyable game.

(It's probably also teasing us the decoration tool)

what is this signup truly intended for?

Illumina--- Err... To give you guys and gals more info about the game.

 

[PALESP]

I had to create a new account. Now I have 2 PDX accounts with the same email :?

that answer might work for the sims crowd. my bet is that the marketing team wants to see how big is the interest in the game and also give the players some little illusion that they get something for FREE due to their contribution to the signup list.

I can't watch the video at work, so I'll ask here on the forum: "a city park that can be enjoyed in-game upon the title’s release" - only for those who've 'signed up', or everyone?

You're free to think it's a conspiracy, but to be honest its uses to us are pretty straightforward.

1. We get a direct channel to people who are actively stating they are interested in the game.
2. See above.

It's not an illusion that you're getting something for free, since you'll get the Japanese park

Only those who have signed up

I think so too. Paradox wants to know how many people are interested to buy the game. But still no bad at all. I like free stuff.

 

[sermaciej]

So... no japanese garden for those who will find out about game after release?
Signed anyway.

 

[lemonsquid]

you should have done the whole, "invite others to get moar stuff because we know you luv to have moar stuff," that oughta get your numbers up

eh, besides the japanese garden, add a chinese garden as a bonus for the people of the forum and we'll call it a day.

Email; it's what it asked for.

Just tried it again, using the "change password" here trick; didn't work. Sorry, I'm not creating a new account, so I guess I won't be getting the park.
