Hi,

Can´t wait for the game to launch!:)

Will it be possible to build old style architecture/historical cities, like for example medieval style churches, castles, city walls or classical pantheons or colosseums?
What about european style cities with narrow streets and 18th and 19th century style of architecture?

One of the many things I missed about CXL were trains, you gotta have that and proper harbors. And also what about ferry services?

What's the reason for not having Day and Night cycle?
Are you willing to add night time in the future?
For me, night time scenery is a must have thing when I play city-building game. :)

Hi devs. As prettymuch everybody here, I'm pretty excited about this game.
Beeing badly burned twice now (CXL/SC13) I'll try to lower my expectations.. But it's not easy, reading about this game :)

So, to my questions..
Beeing a Nordic company, I will asume that roundabouts are in ??? Any way you can show us ?

Second, I think a lot of people would love it if we were able to personify our cities.
I read about the possibility to name our neighborhoods. I would love to take that a step further, and be able to name streets, schools, policestations etc.

Third, I would love the ability to make buildings historical, as in SC4

Last but not least.. I always loved the opportunities/gifts in SC4. Will that come to CSL ?

Best wishes.

Meta-question: will there be a transcript of the stream published? My main issue with streams--so hip right now--is that they take forever, unlike say, reading a development diary.

This is NOT me, creating another account to make my point again.:D I too would like to have a word on this. Do we get a night as DLC? The reason I am still around here is my hope you will come to your senses.
Other than that I would have nothing in particular, I would be interested in every aspect of the game, especially since you haven´t said any details about anything yet.
Did you forget to give us a time for thursday or did I overlook something?

You can easily build your own custom roundabouts using the road tool :)

We could do this in CXL too already ... kind of. The point of a really functional roundabout is that the traffic has priority over the incoming lanes, so no jamming up can occur inside the roundabout, only before it. THAT is possible with the standard tool? That would be amazing.

Ooh, then it's actually a good question for the stream, as I don't know :)

Then please add it. I am still puzzled about the concept of your stream... is it watch only? Like a podcast? Excuse my ignorance... :happy:
Another thing crossed my mind: Will we have real reflections on buildings? All other games like CXL and CiM2 only had something like a "mirrorbox" where the mirroring was generated by a picture.

No, it's livestreamed. The reason we take questions here is for the people that can't attend and ask them in the chat (also we can prepare good answers) :)

Will there be mediterranean cities and landscapes?

Will we be able to make densely packed low and medium hight zones like in most european cities?

Will we be able to design not only parks but also squares? They are one of the most relevant aestethical features of many cities, and what makes them distinctive.

What kind of ordinances will we have?

Will we be able to bar or incentivate concrete kinds of businesses, like restaurants and bars in some district, internet providers and internet services in others, high tech hardware in yet another one?

Can we organize festivals and holiday celebrations to highten the city's/district's sipirit and attract tourism?

Can we host cultural events?

Will we have advisors and petitioners with concrete demands and rewards?

On a more serious note, will there be llamas? It's a well known fact that cities can't run without llamas.

The roundabout question is really important, because it is not about shape, it is about functionality.

This is a roundabout inside a roundabout...

Thanks devs! What kind of urban planning literature do you have floating around the office? Heres my little collection of urban planning and related stuff. I picked up a lot of the sustainability stuff in college for my minor. Sprawl repair manual and The Villa are the best. Not pictured: the Smart Growth Manual by Duany Zyberk, a little book that I highly recommend. Oh and 'The Little House' by Virginia Burton, which got me interested in urbanism when I was 5. Its a little kids book (not pictured).

Hello!

Thanks for making this happen. I'm really looking forward to this stream. To the point, I have three questions:

1. How extensive will the modding capabilities be in Cities Skylines?
2. What's your take on giving the player more control over the details such as designing infrastructure or landscaping versus keeping the UI from becoming overly complex?
3. How does the player feedback from Cities in Motion(2) affect Cities Skylines?

I should toss in a gameplay related question as well: in what ways are you planning to connect our cities to the larger world economy? What can I gain from neighbors?
