Can I finish this MASSIVE recreation of Pittsburgh before Cities Skylines 2?

[@taxevader4095]

when you finish you should do a urban renewal episode where you tear down highways, add public transport, and improve walking and biking Would be cool to see before and after examples of real places that exist

[@GaseousStranger]

That’s exactly my plan! Stay tuned for part two of the project. I’ll be following NEXTransit’s 25 year transit plan to start the revitalization. Then I plan to take on some more ambitious projects like freeway removals and more! 😄

[@TobbySkylines]

I finally found time to watch this episode while I am at hospital. Good to see the Pittsburgh project going on!

[@GaseousStranger]

Thanks Tobby! Hope you’re feeling better soon!

[@kestrile]

Amazing. I love the detail around Squirrel Hill, especially the interchange, which, last time I was in Pgh, I had to traverse several times to get to my friends house and I get cut off so I'd have to circle around to try again. And the elevation! Nuts.

[@TeddyRadko]

Spam those suburbs!! Love the reservoirs. One of those details thats so easy to miss when not doing a 1:1. Absolutely amazing cinematography employed. 10/10 would watch again!

[@GaseousStranger]

Thanks for stopping by Teddy! Glad you enjoyed the video 😄

[@producerk8247]

It's insane how crazy accurate this is to the Burgh. Well done! Looking forward to what you accomplish in 2.

[@PeSTimE01]

Well, that's talent. Incredible work!

[@rtrojosh]

as someone who lives near and has been into pittsburgh multiple times, its so cool seeing the whole area built in a video game i am currently building a game based around neville island for the roblox platform, and i want to see how it may look. this will help immensely, since i also need height data. also, a fun fact, i was at children's hospital for a type 1 diabetes diagnosis. it went almost 17 years undetected, and i would like to give thanks to all of the doctors who helped me understand everything about type 1 diabetes. i found out it was because my dad is type 2, and it was a genetic thing. i didnt eat unhealthy foods that much. anyways enough of that, i really think this is cool.

[@Tyler-216]

is Cleveland next?! Highland Park definitively looks amazing but it really made me appreciate our Metroparks even more.

[@Magocs]

You got the Highland Park interchange curves to look almost as sketchy and dangerous as they are in real life; I'm very impressed

[@GaseousStranger]

🤣🤣

[@edwardmiessner6502]

The 180 at the end of the inside trumpet loop is slightly less sharp than in real life and still semi-trucks have to slow down wicked bad to negotiate the turn. 😁😉

[@ranamar24]

There's a reason they have 15mph speed limit signs on them.

[@HudsonJamesGaming]

As a fellow Cities: Skylines enthusiast, I wanted to take a moment to express my admiration for your channel. I'm Hudson from Skyline Chronicles, and your cities are a testament to your creative vision and city-planning skills. Your videos are both entertaining and informative, providing valuable insights for aspiring city builders like me. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your incredible Cities: Skylines creations in the future. Keep up the amazing work!

[@pedroreyes317]

you're one of the greatest recreating cities in this game, new sub! and I'm looking forward that in cities 2 you could recreate more cities like this.

[@GaseousStranger]

That is very kind of you, thanks!

[@davidhimes3796]

The Allegheny is flowing the wrong direction and the banks need knotweed. Very awesome work.

[@onlyinbritishcolumbia]

I've always liked how you don't make 3 epsiodes to complete an area, that's exactly what throws me off when I'm watching other C:S series.

[@odyx0]

was wondering what the cinematic type view of google earth was i thought you got real creative. Great use of it honestly and really helps land the project idea.

[@visassess8607]

I do not have the patience needed to even attempt to try something like this lmao. Really good work man!

[@TheChaseFiore]

This makes me miss living there so much! Fantastic job, you really captured the feel of the city!

[@cyber1714]

this is truly a masterpiece!!

[@demond3461]

I can't wait to see how you revitalize the city... Please please please try and figure out a smoother way to get around.... Would love to see Pittsburgh run fluently for once in my life, even if it's only through a game 😭😂😂😂

[@demond3461]

Also I wonder if when finished, you could sell this build to the city manager as well ... 😂

[@sorakirei]

That cycling track near Highland Park used to be a Pennsylvania DMV closed course for taking one's driver's license test.

[@GaseousStranger]

Hmm that is really interesting 🤔 Thanks for sharing that!

[@BIGV1N]

This is so satisfying to listen to and watch

[@MichaelDanger19]

Drove through Pittsburgh this summer and thought it would be a great basis for my first CS2 save. But man, this work is so good I can't wait to watch through all of these before the new game comes out!

[@danteeightsix]

Really like the detail with the sign on the bridge. Good job!

[@can5015]

This is amazing. Living in Colorado and being from Pittsburgh its fun and very enjoyable to see this

[@SoCalHypercarSpotters]

This looks amazing! When you’re done with Pittsburgh, you should make San Bernardino California! San Bernardino and its small neighboring towns would be really cool to see! 👀

[@FrehleyFan3988]

This is extremely accurate! I hope every asset on the workshop will be transferred to skylines 2. That would be cool to see this city in the new game

[@tubewando8517]

this is just mindblowing

[@teddywilson8778]

I love your videos please continue working on Pittsburgh.

[@falcaonet]

Outstanding work!

[@Somber.Killer]

Incredible work. I hope you can finish! Earned a sub!

[@WheeledHamster]

Used to love Sim City as a kid never thought there will be a day where you can recreate real cities in 3D down to the lanes and fences! This is crazy.

[@mayavenuemisfit814]

I know the new game is coming out, but I really love watching you work on not only Pittsburgh, but also your Rochester series. I obviously can't speak for everybody else, but I would certainly love to see you continue on with these projects even after the new game comes out. You've done an excellent job with both of them, and your tutorials have also helped me get the most out of my own games.

[@edwardmiessner6502]

Suggestions for revitalizing the city? TRAINS! Regional railways, subways and skytrains, light railways, trams, funiculars, and even San Francisco style cable cars! And don't be afraid to take out or Big Dig a highway or two if that's what you need to squeeze them in.

[@AntwanGriffin94Photography]

As someone who grew up in Highland Park and Morningside and played sim games like Sim City 4 as a teen, I couldn't help but smile this entire video. You're doing what I always wanted to do as a kid and it looks great. Keep it up ! Bravo !

[@justmewwwww]

This is an awesome build. Could you please do a tutorial on how are you managing to shoot cinematics while building?

[@GaseousStranger]

It’s actually a trick that I learned from another youtube video! Please watch this tutorial by my friend @dirtyH 😄 kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnKTnnyqjryMfM0si=dIL7U3QJyuuyo1HG

[@justmewwwww]

@@GaseousStranger Thank you for the tip. You are not only a great builder but you also answer your community. Much respect for that.

[@MugwumpSupreme]

Wow. This is top notch! Those hyperlapse/cinematics are just 👌

[@GaseousStranger]

Thank you Poplar!

[@TrippaMazing87]

So impressive! I wish I had this much talent and patience to do this with my home city!

Can’t put into words how much it means you keep up with this. Truly hope you are able to finish/game allows you finish. Keep it and THANK YOU 🙌🏼

[@vinnyfromvenus8188]

this is the first video I've encountered of this project and I have to say this is simply amazing! I don't live anywhere near Pittsburgh but seeing your sheer dedication to this project and this city really makes me appreciate all the little details it has! I kind of want to visit some of these places one day. this project is simply inspiring, I'm truly amazed 🤯

[@mcurry0730]

This is really awesome to watch. East Liberty native and resident here. So cool to see how great my city looks and hoping that it continues to keep its charm amidst rapid gentrification. Keep up the awesome job!

I remember watching your first episode of this series, and being really happy that someone planned on making a full series on this little city that I live in, you’ve got a lot done, and judging on how I travel around this city a lot, you’ve done n amazing job! Keep up the good work man! And I’m late but congratulations on being featured on top 10 best cities in cities skylines!

[@GaseousStranger]

Thanks so much! Appreciate you sticking around since the beginning!

[@itlw999]

Gimme a modded version of the game like this, a supercomputer and a bong and I’ll recreate earth for you in cities skylines on a 1:1 scale lol

[@dnxsol]

Very nice, love the details and the passion

[@pogboom-mm]

love to see more pittsburgh, keep up the good work

[@GaseousStranger]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed

[@jherbo17]

Sorry for all the comments but the last thing you said about how to improve the city, please either expand the T in all cardinal directions or add light rail. Something to get us off buses and packed streets

[@GaseousStranger]

T expansion is definitely in my plans, and probably what I’m most excited for!

[@edwardmiessner6502]

I suggested trains, too! And I thought the T _was_ light rail unless you're thinking of light metro like Vancouver's Skytrain.

[@ApollonDriver]

It was my pleasure :)

[@dionisiosdiamantis5971]

Love the videos, you should try to recreate Queens, New York, or at least some of it

[@brentk3781]

I would be 100% interested in a follow up when done on how you could "improve" Pittsburgh from traffic to development.

[@blackspell9890]

Great video quality, great commentary and great content. I couldn't tell you're still a "smaller" channel but I'm sure you'll grow fast when you keep this up!

[@emsproviero]

this has to be one of the most realistic american city made in cities skylines 1 good job keep it up !

[@justpricey4411]

AMAZING!

[@jonleibow3604]

I wonder if you could have the mascots from the Campus DLC, walking around the convention center downtown.

[@jamesniemi5741]

You should do lansing Michigan after you finish Pittsburg and Rochester

[@edwardmiessner6502]

I'd like to see Grand Rapids myself. There's even a map for it on Cities Skylines. This city has had two police actions that have gone viral; one became a double Supreme Court case and the other resulted in murder charges filed on the officer.

[@jack_douniels]

Very cool

[@handlesify]

I love it do you have the slopes complete? im interested in more of the Roscoe, Baldauf, Huron, and Shamokin street area. This is a great build.

[@GaseousStranger]

I actually still have to finish the SS slopes! Hopefully the game limits allow me to finish those areas, I’ve been excited to work on them for a while

[@handlesify]

That would be great. It is a unique area and can definitely be challenging. I am sure you will do a great job. As you have shown in your work in other areas of Pittsburgh. Hope it goes well!@@GaseousStranger

[@LockDCS]

Pittsburgh Zoo Time!

[@GaseousStranger]

👀

[@tcniatcniatcnia]

I really like your channel and I always looking out for new episodes. Hope you can finish the city before cs2 and be able to implement some good urbanism fixes. Was also wondering, do you have a collection of your assets? I know you have one for the houses but I am wondering if you have some for the historic commercial assets? those brick historic buildings. Another one that would be nice is the rowhouses collection! I wanna visit the US one day and I will definitely check Pennsylvania out, Philly and Pittsburgh are definitely on my list.

[@GaseousStranger]

Thanks! Here’s a rowhouse collection - steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2892130094 I don’t have one yet for all of my assets, but this collection is pretty close to what I use - steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2527489988 I hope you get a chance to visit someday, those are some great cities to check out and explore!

[@tcniatcniatcnia]

Thank you for the link! will definitely check it out later. The problem with vacationing in North America is that its so expensive, and I just cant afford that. Flights can easily run you 500$+ not to mention that you're gonna be staying here for at least 20+ days and each hotel can cost between 50-300$ a night, depends on the location Gas and renting a car because you kinda have to do that unfortunately. The rest of the expenses are the same in any other vacation but those are the main ones, the difference is hug Which is a shame because I really like North American cities, I like where I live and I think its arguably an overall better place but I wouldn't mind living in a city like Philly or Chicago for a year or two.

[@ylberazizaj]

I love these kind of projects...recreating real cities helps to learn a lot about how cities are built in general... What I'm really wondering is... how did you make the camera movement while plopping buildings? Is this something seperate that you tell any camera mod to record a cam movement while you were in a regular angle building the city? I'm just wondering. Thank you. Keep up the great work.

[@GaseousStranger]

Thank you! and yes all of my camera work in done with cinematic camera extended, I just choose not to hide the UI occasionally so I can build with a dynamic camera

[@ylberazizaj]

are you saying that you are building during the camera is flying? Or is the camera and angle you see different to what the "cinematic camera" is recording while you build?@@GaseousStranger

[@GaseousStranger]

@@ylberazizaj Building while the camera is flying around, yes :) It takes a bit of getting used to but it makes the videos more attractive to watch in my opinion

[@ylberazizaj]

it does make the video awesome... I would never have thought that you really do it that way.... crazy dude... @@GaseousStranger

[@braindead1433]

Hey I know this is late but I have a question. With the city being built in a 1 to 1 scale how does the city do with demands/income as far as the regular game goes. I’m curious to see how little things like traffic works with real life road networks and transportation

[@GaseousStranger]

I might take a video to show everything off once the city is “complete” :)
