This makes me wish we could get Kevin playing the inimitable “Afterlife” by Lucasarts. That was a fantastic city sim where you created your own heaven and hell and controlled the beliefs of your planet to control the populations of the two zones. It was wonderful and Kevin could do SO MUCH DAMAGE. It used to be available at GOG, but that was a long time ago.

[@FoxtrotMouse]

That's exactly what I thought when he said he was building Heaven and Hell.

[@Moraenil]

It's on Steam currently, as of this moment anyway.

[@kryw10]

@@Moraenil amazing! Thank you so much for telling me, I know what I’m spending my entertainment money on this month!

[@TheHutchy01]

It's kind of a shame Lucasarts died off to a degree, they did some pretty great stuff. Say what you want about his writing, but Mr. Lucas knew where to put his money when it comes to emerging technology

[@CreepersNeedHugs]

Lucasfilm made a kind of city-planning game?!?! Oh _hell yeah_

[@BagelsNSyrup]

I love that Kevin is the one playing City normally and then there’s Dan who’s suspended 100 ft in the air.

[@volodyadykun6490]

Well he is after all the country roads guy

[@ArtzyZero]

We all know the real reason Kevin wasn't asked to join the others suspended in the air, he'd find a way to set it on fire.

[@still_your_zelda]

Kevin was too busy in the ring of fire 🙂

[@ImmortalAbsol]

“Normally”??

[@TheOnlyGhxst]

Kinda sad that Kevin wasn't there along with the other youtubers suspended in the air, would've been some quality content I'm sure!

[@DBswag_]

Seeing as you can now focus on individual NPCs, that gives me an idea. How about a video where you make 1 NPC the city's MVP & only change the city according to their complaints/requests? Could make for a wacky video.

[@humourlessjester3584]

As someone that lives in a third world country, having class divisions dictated by which part of the city you live in feels like home. Thanks for the nostalgia Kevin!

[@RosyKitteh]

“Looking at how good the public transport is right now, I think I’d rather live in Hell.” (Kevin, City Planning Genius, 2023)

[@pedrovallefin8406]

Worth noticing that he also refers to himself as the devil at one point, so one should take his word with a grain of salt, city plannning genius or not.

[@waretaSL]

Tbh i like that they kept the UI rlly similar, i've never liked when new gens of older games suddenly have stuff in completely different locations😅

[@tabbycat0870]

Just came back after my first week living in college. Feels good to come back to Kevin torturing even more innocent people

[@TheHutchy01]

It's always fun to see Kevin make people suffer (and go buy a slow cooker, you have no idea yet how nice it is to come back to a simple stew after a long day of lectures and tutorials, yours faithfully, a recent graduate)

[@thedork9754]

I also just had my first week in university! Glad to watch Kevin torturing people as always

[@froggy5748]

To go along with the person that told you to buy a slow cooker, get potatoes! Potato soup is cheap and fucking delicious.

[@krazyxki]

Kevin got a lot of us through college, truly a rite of passage lol. Even 3 years after graduation, I continue my college tradition of watching him while I eat dinner, after a long day and finishing all my work. No better way to unwind.

[@Thataqwardgirl16]

As a Milo that just went through a breakup- hearing Kevin say "You deserved better" Just made everything feel ok again 💚💚

[@manowa3395]

It's a sign!

[@MorglortheMangler]

Let’s all appreciate Genius Mayor Kevin’s decision to bring back the Poop Canyon into another awesome Skylines video.

[@pedrovallefin8406]

And this time the Poop Canyon actually worked as intented. Good to know that Mayor Kevin learns from his past failures and refuses to give up on a good idea, no matter how potencially fatal it could be for everyone involved (everyone but the Mayor, of course).

[@spatula0city]

Kevin just casually creating a Redline town. For some reason it was the bus shelters vs stops that hit the closest to home. The poors wait in the rain, obv.

[@LeeDee5]

I didn't even know there was a City Skylines 2. Kevin is a marketing genius.

[@MadnessIncVP]

[@accountid9681]

The marketing campaign for this game has just been genius, the fact that the videos are all in the creator's respective styles is genius, because if we were never going to buy the game, then we get a fun video, and if we think we might buy the game, we get to see how other people are enjoying it. Inviting the glitchhunting youtubers such as spiff also helps debug the game for launch. It's a type of win : win which I never thought could come out of the marketing industry.

[@scarecrow0774]

Im honestly so happy they added the feature to follow different people through there lives. If im not mistaken one of the old sim city games you could import your sims 1 characters into your city, and then follow their lives in sim city.

[@Highraven]

[@TheChosenFailure]

Kevin just making IRL US cities, with their Gated communities and hoods.

[@anthonyeaves4145]

I’ve seen a game exploiter play this but I think Kevin is teaching the developers far more about their game than any exploiter 😂

[@snapsatyou2449]

I appreciate Kevin trying to hide it, but the framerate issues are incredibly noticeable. Still looks fun though.

[@hollylown6132]

Kevin pulling from the industrial revolution where the rich people live up wind from industry, leaving the working classes to suffer from pollution

[@DarkSideOfTheForceKin]

I love the heaven and hell idea, and the poop canyon idea, and I have a suggestion. What do you think of making canals all throughout hell that the poop flows through. It could expand the amount poop that can be stored by a considerable amount, and it would hell even more hellish. You could also make it lead out into the ocean, and give hell their own water source that meets up with it, while giving heaven a clean water source. The only real concern with this would be the cost, but if that is manageable then I believe this could greatly improve the theme of the city. Also as I was typing this, I had another idea. I don't know how possible this is in this game, but expanding heaven to be literally on top of hell would be great. This could be by literally building a hollow plateau with hell inside it and heaven above it, or by building some kind of platform like FF7's Midgar which separated the upper and lower classes.

[@TheLastArbiter]
