[@rickygiove]

As much as i miss vindsvept, i actually like the new timelapses. Maybe you can alternate the two: use voiceover when there is something to explain (like in this case), and music when you are just decorating or something that doesn't need explaination. Great series btw, i'm always hungry for the new episode :D

[@narayandejesusreyes5843]

Yes, the music is soo good for the time lapses! We'll probably see another soon. 🙏🏽

[@hgetu3366]

I'm not exactly hating on vindswept but when it's basically the music for every episode I'm pretty dam glad there's something new

[@jmb3d]

I agree. I like the way you for this video with time lapse and voice over.

[@hakanaltintas1]

I liked how you make timelapse with comments. this is the first time I guess in design and manage

[@seth9577]

First time I ser this in a cities skylines video. I've seen before

[@EthanToavsFanMusic]

This is an amazing episode from you, here! I forgot just how much I had enjoyed this series of yours. Your unmodded city still looks more well-planned and complex than my city with 100 mods. I cannot imagine brute forcing all of the geometry here without mods, (or deleting all of the trees with just the bulldoze tool!), so you have my respect for that.

[@GoldenPancake]

He just forgot healthcare that's the problem

[@euler9312]

I am a PhD student in mathematics and it is very interesting to see you making constructions as if you were using a ruler and compass. There is a whole theory about geometric constructions using only ruler and compass.

It must have been a massive amount of time invested in this time lapse. Kudos to you for giving so much thought to planning. I need to learn the same...

[@nebojsa66]

I'm fairly new to this game and I am extremely rare in YT comments but I had to give you a huge thank you and show my respect for these videos you make! I finally understand what needs to be done in this game and you have showed us an amazing and artistic way to do it. Cudos to your meticulous designing. I've just spent several hours watching and I'm amazed. Gonna play this game much more after these videos of yours :)

[@DTMC00]

I can't believe no one has suggested replacing the tunnel with a sunken avenue! Far more attractive and realistic than an elevated highway. This would satisfy your desire to limit intersections, noise pollution, and watch traffic flow. Just my two cents, I am sure whatever you come up with will blow my mind. It's good to have you back, Target. You are the GOAT! Keep up the good work :) Edit: Loved the time-lapse.

[@samuellavebrink7806]

Love this new series, been waiting a year and it's finaly here. Really like the new layout in today's episode. Hope you are doing well in these times!

[@alisiregar8213]

I watched almost all of design&manage season 1. That was awesome technique without mod, every layout in that map looks great, traffic is perfect,. T4rget is the best unmodded cities skylines player. Really hope that all layout such as intersection, industry layout, etc can be uploaded as asset, separately from the full map so that can be applied in another map. Thanks, greeting from Indonesia

[@Spido68_the_spectator]

Imperatur is currently building a vanilla city as well (" pro builds his dream city ") and it's the only one to be able to do better than T4rget (probably thanks to experience aquired in his many modded series).

[@skyfrostthunderrock]

as usual, so impressed with this layout! loved the voice-over during the time-lapse... also, i think the tunnel fits really nicely, and it matches the aesthetic of the city since there's going to be a couple tunnels elsewhere anyway. hope you're staying safe. can't wait for the next video! xx

[@TheCiccimon]

I can watch you designing roads and pathways all day! I learn so much. Since I finally can follow along in real time I take the opportunity to vote for a majestic Golden Tadema bridge rising above ground connecting the cities between the water.

[@Sletjes101]

I'm so happy you're back. I've binge watched the first 25 episodes of season one and was really hoping you would come back after season one finished. Best vannilla city builder out there. Keep doing what you're doing !!!

[@Lou-Mae]

Always love how much care you take with the way you build your cities! The timelapse with the voiceover is a really good idea, definitely prefer it to just the regular timelapse. Not 100% sure how I feel about that tunnel though - seems quite unrealistic?

[@matthewdavies7286]

I agree, I think it would look better above ground then turn it into a bridge

[@ronaldbrachetti576]

Not necessarily so. Have a look at Brussels, which has main traffic arteries running through tunnels that then emerge into multiple lane one-way alleys with the occasional intersection. Haven’t built anything like that, but driving there was interesting to say the least

[@partcyborg]

Nothing unrealistic about it. Here is a real world example: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Dig

[@bekirserhatuzunoglu7462]

look at “Avrasya Tunel / Eurasia Tunnel” in Istanbul, Turkey.

[@shantanuparmar7312]

Man you're an artist I just love that layout and it also suits the map's coastline

[@fuhrab]

Awesome job! Love seeing/hearing you work through the process.

[@yuliakosheleva6250]

Thank you so much for a content like this! So refreshing and fun to watch during the hard time of ours. What a stunning city it's going to become 💎

[@2266burnzy]

So good to have you back brother. Keep up the good work man.

[@jambartow]

Great episode, lots of inspiration to draw from! In regards to the tunnel - maybe potentially make it a raised avenue above the neighborhood going into the bridge instead so that it's visible but still good for traffic?

[@narayandejesusreyes5843]

Really liked the slower time lapse with commentary. This series is going places FAST! I thought the low desity residential area layout looked a littled crammed, but I am pretty sure as you zone you will modify with a few green spaces. In the avenue leading to the bridge being underground, I will say; that's not like you @T4rget, but if it is something consistently used throughout New Tadema then I am all for it. Being open minded helps break barriers and can expand design and management.

[@somethingfun12]

Big fan of the new layout. I'm envious of the amount of planning you are able to put into your builds. Looking forward to seeing it fill out!

[@daz3d935]

Loved the time lapse format and getting to hear you work through different problems. Very cool stuff man, keep it up!

[@Zanfib32]

I like the tunnel. It's a way to get traffic past that area without subjecting the people there to the noise pollution. The time-lapse was good too.

[@jawsstech]

You did a much better of explaining and utilizing time lapse than you did last year. This video / series proves that you are among the best youtubers regarding Cities Skylines. Your content is much more useful and actually more entertaining for those who may not have the game. Your commentary somewhat serious and laid back and you place bits of humor in your commentary at just the right time. The technical quality of the video sound is good and you avoid erratic movements of the screen. I have been actually binging on your videos and I plan to utilize many of the techniques I've learned here. Your use of arteries are one of the better explanations.

[@rcrhinehart66]

Timelapse was perfectly done.

[@arthurpedrosacorreia]

I could watch this for hours rsrs.. your vision and planning to the city it's amazing. ♥️

[@GuitarGramps]

I thought the time lapse was one of the best I’ve seen. I really like that the camera was static. Great job on the city so far

[@lickkittysplit3871]

I dunno about the Tunnel. We'll see what it looks like after you build the bridge. Loved the timelapse. Really enjoyed you talking through it and letting us know what your doing at the time. Very Helpful. Stoked to get my computer up and running so I can finally play this game the way it should be.

[@lickkittysplit3871]

Update: Computer is built and I'm loving it T4rget. I'm following along with this build so I can learn about controls and what buttons to press for certain services. This video and you're industrial areas will be intense for me. Wish me luck!!!

[@NightKrowe]

I love this series so far. The explanations are very helpful. The time lapses are nice, too. I watch at 2x speed and was still able to follow everything.

[@Alphax8]

so glad you're back !!

[@normajean2855]

That timelapse was cool and enjoyed the thought process, tried it with the voluumn down while on slow speed, but needed to turn it back on to understand, so, i watched with voice first then slowed down once i understood what you were achieving, thankyou

[@gadamis]

Nice job as always. You're a real inspiration. I actually liked the explanations alongside the time lapse. A mix of that and the typical music ones would be great.

[@kaceydopwell8531]

This city is awesome! Target can you PLEASE!!!! continue to commentate your thought process. I spend hours trying to recreate your city block for block. I really enjoy this series. Please make it easier for someone like me who wants to recreate your city. It would be helpful also if you could give us the spacing between blocks when you create new zones!! It helps tremdously!! I have over 100 screenshots and counting!! Your the best!! Keep up the good work!

Hey man great content thanks 🙏👍🏻🔥

[@Guildamful]

I may be late, but the tunnel was a good idea, the cars coming out of it and going through the bridge would be dope to see

[@Vyacheslavskiy]

But one way or another this episode is awesome, thanks for slowing down timelapses, it's much easier to replicate this way😜 Keep going, love the series

[@evolga.]

Great video very useful

[@jessicafrigieri3769]

Hello Target! I just saw you're back with another serie, i am so glad about it! I'm still trying to learn how to make a decent road layout on my city buuuut....yeah, i'm pretty bad at it 😂 i'm so fascinated by yours tho!

[@grqueiroz3]

Awesome!!!

[@delta9k]

I think that you are correct, with that long tunnel you might want to add another ingress/egress if you can work it in - but I know you, and am not worried. It will be no surprise to see you re-work this new addition too, in the not so far distant future. Nice video my friend, always fun to watch!

[@Dechral]

lovely videos, I enjoy your candid humor & friendly explanations while you are building. Thanks for sharing

[@dashboardfairy]

I love the new expansion! I think for the coastal housing area, keeping the tunnel would be better, you can just connect the area with more walking paths anyway. It would be weird to see a giant avenue in such an area.

[@thiscouldbedolinatho...5697]

I love the way you design your roads 😍❤️❤️❤️

[@Ozzynl111]

I enjoyed the timelaps it was easy enough to follow. I did however miss the music you used to have in those old time lapses. They gave it a nice atmosphere. And as always great content I enjoy watching your play style.

[@johnalbers6153]

Impressive...Most Impressive

[@stickboy6474]

Great to follow along again. I like the way you are explaining things as you go. For sure better to mimic what you are doing when you get to complicated interchanges and the like. But I do miss the music

[@htmlelly]

This road shapes remembers me SimCity! Btw, it's so noice!

[@khuldrek6198]

I am looking forward to the center part with high density buildings/zoning i think its going will make a nice skyline next to the park. Nice work with the layout.

[@billwindham214]

Target, I really liked this time lapse method. It was sped up but I could still follow along. Your early road planning will keep the traffic congestion down in the future when the population reaches 100k. If you build it, I will come along 😀 Stay safe and I will see you next episode.

[@D.Rob86]

Very nice

[@TomasUjhelyi]

Anxiety kicks in when I follow your layout click for click only to find my 90 degree layouts aren't exactly as square as yours ... Very nice city! Wish I was half as creative as you are

[@diegobfr100]

Here in Brazil, some of high traffic avenues was converted in tunnels to increase the land value. Rio de Janeiro changed an overpass to a underground tunnel in downtown area. If you want to make this avenue a straight connection to the other side of the river, you can keep the tunnel.

[@steelskylines]

I really liked your new time-lapse style. It flowed very nicely. I like the tunnel but I think if you back up the tunnel opening up to the road just behind it that will give you more room to begin building the bridge. Nice work with the concentric grid, I think it will develop very nicely.

[@youngmurphy7556]

You are the Le Corbusier of Cities Skylines. It will be interesting to see how your Ville Radieuse actually functions. I foresee quite a few traffic issues. They're not called bottlenecks for nothing. If you funnel all the traffic into a few arterial roads, just like fluid in the neck of a bottle, there'll be trouble.

[@8roomsofelixir]

The circular layout is very well thought and following the existing patterns. I think it's very similar to a ring road outside the old town in the European cities; you may want to build train stations, unique buildings, and parks along the ring avenue, to create a centerpiece of your city.

[@andreasask6791]

I love your videos. Very inspiring and satisfying. It shows this game can be played very well even without the mods. I don’t know if you are familiar with Workers and Resorces yet. A very different kind of game in deed, but I really wish that the pathway function from that game could be implemented in Cities Skylines. Every time you connect a pathway to a road, it creates a node with a zebra crossing. That makes it possible to create a very efficient path system without cheesing with different types of roads to make a crossing. Except from that, Cities Skylines has much more finesse and perfection. Probably intentionally. Keep up the good work! And always stay safe there.

[@iamfresh5032]

Tunnel is goooooood. And I think this beautiful coast should be built as CBD.

[@KeruchiSama]

Destroying to evolve =D can't wait for the next episode. Also curious about the fishing industrial, I got the dlc but didn't tried yet these

[@guyswartwood3924]

I haven't tried the fishing industry yet as well. I have tried the farming industry. It has been fun.

[@8roomsofelixir]

About the tunnel, my opinion is that it depends on your designing idea of that peninsula. If it's full of high-end housings, a tunnel maybe better (or even move the road elsewhere), for the rich guys probably don't want a major thoroughfare (even a tunnel) in their backyards. If it's a normal mix-use area then a bridge is fine.

[@vladbucur9935]

Great layout! I have some thoughts about it tho. I think the coastal road is very important for a coastal city, so I suggest defining a strong coastal road that would end the "blooming flower". Also, the avenue that bridges in the left corner of the city should be visible, and the connecting roads spare so it would no cause traffic problems. Looking forward to this series!

[@ITZAMNA26000]

Great stuff! When is the next episode due? Subscribed

[@user-nw5xe5qo2m]

already good

[@kerimakmurzayev4718]

Voiceover made time lapse better i guess :) and great video overall

[@georgidimitrov8270]

I think you should do elevated avenue over the neighborhood that turns into bridge with few highway ramp connections. Nice work on the layout

[@WeirdViking]

And this was the episode I thought... "should I just go shoot people in CoD?" I can never be this creative and have this level of spatial awareness and planning. Even though it's really cool :D

[@Suckynewb]

Can't wait to see where the High Density Residential will go.

[@Vyacheslavskiy]

Tunnel will be awesome when you create a bridge. But only if you will manage to blend bridge exit height directly into tunnel entrance, like bridges between mountains are comming directly though one of them

[@dantudorciuli4797]

@T4rget, instead of the tunnel, why dont you elevate the highway above ground level and leave the minor roads under it at ground lvl? (NY 40s style)

[@darthm985]

Magnificent * time to calmly cry for a bit under the table

[@fmartingorb]

SOmething i really like about the Toyota project is how they separate the pedestrian, car and bicycle streets... Would be nice to try

[@davidbenson6108]

I think the tunnel on the peninsula could be elevated instead. It would be more realistic to elevate a road that leads to a bridge, and you can see all the traffic. You might even be able to run another avenue underneath the elevated one at ground level to service the peninsula itself.

[@svetlana_sidorenko]

Last season, I set the game speed to 0.25, turned off the voice, turned on the subtitles to better understand how you are building :-) In the cemetery, you can cause one of the natural disasters and not wait for purification (Sorry for my english).

[@tropicalverktaki]

That's actually a great idea. One of the disasters is causing one single building to collapse.

[@BubaGlobalJ]

So happy you are back! But why do you keep calling the tunnel a bridge? :D

[@RMutt-fj1sz]

you could keep the tunnel and have the tunnel go to the other side of the water (don't need connections because it's low density anyway) - or - you could bring the tunnel above ground x2 and make it an elevated road which turns into a bridge finally at the waterfront.

[@laureven]

Always this is "funny" element of this game : "empty the commentary" , and all citizens are ok with this :)

[@Ormurinn]

I like the layout. Regarding the underground road I think you should probably make at least one connection to it from the neighborhood above, by tunnels in the middle maybe from either side.

"What good youtube.." Is your magic word for your viewers 👍

[@burjalmadre]

Absolutely love your CS cities but the tunnel approach is a little more unrealistic than several traffic lights for a suburban neighborhood 😜 Here in Denver, Colorado, many major avenues have small, very low traffic, residential streets intersecting with no traffic light but stop signs instead, of course, its still normal to have a traffic light every couple blocks for slighter busier ‘collecting’ residential streets
