Okay, later than I'd hoped, but good news nonetheless!

Cities Skyline really did need a more waterfront based area.

Cities Skyline doesn't need more paid DLC. But at least this one isn't just a radio station.

Maybe if enough of us mention cargo stations and hubs entirely breaking traffic no matter what you do, they'll get to it lol

Oh, nice. All I saw was Iceflake and didn't look further. That's good to hear. I like the concept of this. Hopefully we can actually alter buildings on a brick by brick basis. I am cautiously optimistic.

C:S 2 seems to be slowly getting there. I've been following CityPlanerPlays' update videos since I was reluctant (and still am) to buy the game.

I know it says a different team than cities skylines, but, I really wanted to love skylines 2 and it’s still sitting in my library, largely unplayed, and I would fire up the first one before 2. All that to say, I’m not super optimistic, I want to be, but, I’m tired of studios throwing out half baked garbage then moving on to the next.

I've given up on skylines 2, hoping that cityscape metropolis turns out to be a good successor.

Well, maybe if they'd focused more, they'd be working on that one instead!

I wonder if this will allow for mixed use building's or if we'll still be stuck with American zoning laws

It's a different team working on the game.

very surprised by this! guess i shouldnt be though, two scandinavian companies after all

I’m fine with there being a lego version of every game and movie

This is interesting. I like the idea, but I feel like they really should be focusing on working on Skylines 2. Then again, I'm not a developer so, eh.

I was expecting a finished game at launch. Still waiting for them to bug fix before I even consider spending a cent on this trash.

Are they ever giving us the launch promise of Linux support? They could at least given it proper steam deck support…

Looks worse WTF, official post?

A future live stream?
