the future of Oceania... | Cities Skylines | Oceania 51

[@xpr0_]

Maybe not a popular opinion but I really enjoy series that last longer like marble mountain and am hoping that oceania can last as long. Although it may not get as many views compared to a new series every few months, I like to see the completion of a map and seeing you reach the potential that the map that you created and planned for has. The first few episodes of Oceania really sold me, with the talk about the different biomes and different custom companies and industry link ups between areas, really hope you reach a point where you can achieve what you hoped for at the start. I know it maybe hard due to the limitations of the game (can tell that your saved game is really laggy and perhaps not very pleasant to play compared to a new series).

[@AJL15N]

I loved following Marble Mountain throughout the years. Would love to see him go back to Arrowhead Valley and do a long term series there

[@Christjs27]

I love Marble Mountain, as well.

[@dxelson]

I'm still waiting for a update on the China map since it was pretty unique

[@mattiagagnolato]

@@dxelson i’m afraid he won’t never finish that serie, like the others he letf. He always works in this way: he begins something and never finish it

[@boydyedits]

Just wanted to say i have been watching your videos since border town specifically episode 3 where you built the border crossing (which to this day is still one of my favorite builds you have done in an episode and you were the inspiration for me to start building my own cities in this great game but to get to my point it has been awesome watching you and your videos evolve over the years (crazy to be able to say over the years time flies) keep doing what your doing its amazing! And thankyou :)

[@twodollarstwenty]

Thanks man! It’s hard to believe Bordertown was 4 years ago! Time truly flies. I really appreciate the support ❤️

[@ApollonDriver]

Man, yeah... Bordertown was crazy good... I mean, Cities Skylines official channel still uses footage of that border crossing for their video intros!

[@BattleCats60]

I started Springwood 24 I remember watching that amazing airport

[@ChazTB]

@@BattleCats60 was that the one that went over the road? i think that was the first video i ever watched of two dollars twenty, i remember up until then i had only watched conflictnerd and flabaliki play cities skylines and then being amazed watching springwood at how much you could do with mods. completely changed how i played the game

[@Christjs27]

I started with Marble Mountain.

[@samisntcool1]

Something that I find you do really well on is incorporating green space into your cities. I can never find the right balance of trees and just fields. My parks are either to empty or just turn into a forest. But you’re an inspiration for me to try and perfect my parks👍

[@Infrastructurist]

Fantastic episode - it was really interesting to hear about your thoughts on detailing vs. the bigger picture - something I think you have always managed extremely well and which I am jaelous about. Also really interesting to me how your way of creating content has changed over time. Compared to most other games, creating detail-heavy (comparatively to vanilla) Cities: Skylines content has the issue of needing hours and hours of recordings in a sped-up format for just a 20 minute episode - whereas games that are much more "let's playable" allow for a less time-consuming creation process. I can also nod in "battle hardened" agreement to the demotivation a clunky save / terrible game performance can incur. When coupled with the tons of hours spent on creating each episode, it was the perfect storm for killing my enjoyment of the game.

[@twodollarstwenty]

Thanks so much man! So glad to see you still kicking around the CS community. We’d love some more vids 😊

[@jimyvanloock3510]

Thanks for answering my question! Happy to learn more about the series and the future.

[@princeerik7779]

You could also try to build some like of Queensland style neighborhood with the Great Barrier Reef along the coastline🙂 I think that would make your city stand out more👍

[@niqpal]

Oceania has been my favourite series so far. its just so aesthetic. Springfield was fantastic too

[@jameswebb254]

Would love to see a city set in the Pacific Northwest! I’ve been watching your videos since episode 1 of marble mountain and it it inspired me to build my own California city, thanks for your content!

[@dragonbornexpress5650]

Yeah, we need something to fill the hole that Pres left behind when Columbia City had to be ended early.

[@akadoiphin267]

i love the mix of zoning and rico like you did in Sunset City, shouldn’t totally abandon one or the other in my opinion.

[@BeachLookingGuy]

it doesn't makes sense to abandon one. there is lots of space that can be filled without tediously picking and placing each home by hand.

[@Julian21008]

I would love to see a Dutch (especially the province North Holland) or French style city, the cities there just look so historic but also have a modern style in them. I just love how these cities look and I would really love to see what you could do in that style, as I think it would be so beautiful!

[@tobybrown3045]

All your hard work has absolutely paid off. Channel has been smashing it this year! Great work! 👏

[@Herrunknow24]

My man, excellent video, excellent Q&A format, greetings from Chile

[@Zpring]

yo 2 dollar twenty i used to watch you 3 years ago but recently i rediscovered your content and have been binge watching your vids keep it up man :)

[@Kelisic]

Thanks for the update! - I actually really enjoyed the longer cinematics at the end of your older videos.

[@wtftony9975]

By far my favorite city skylines build being I'm from the geographical Oceania. I think it would be really cool to have more tribal area's but it would be hard to do. Awesome build nonetheless 👏

[@Aether-222]

I think, for you, a city inspired by any northern US city, or any canadian city would be really cool! Like any midwest or midatlantic US city, or some form of vancouver inspired city?

[@daltonbedore8396]

great update, and your cinematic footage has always had that attention to lighting that makes it extra realistic! wanted to suggest maybe participating in Joy Builds' series where se and another youtuber build the same project in their respective styles and share the footage rather than the savegame

[@marianodn]

you're just amazing man. Keep working, you're an inspiration for all of us. Saludos desde Argentina

[@sperry2678]

That New York City mega building all practicality idea sounds amazing. PS - this episode looks exactly like Sydney suburbs - from The Shire to the North Shore! Amazing you have replicated the vibe so perfectly. Nice work.

[@Nick-yi4tr]

i LOVED the footage and the build in this, i think it's my favorite thing to see in city skylines videos, just finding a way to fill in large spaces without too much detail but it still looks amazing, good work!?

[@Chappington]

Really neat to hear what goes on behind the scenes! And totally understand what you mean with having a two year old - honestly the amount you get done is impressive in that context. (I have three kids now, which is why I'm only getting around to *watching* this 4 months later, lol)

[@filiphak6868]

Hi 2 dollars20! Love the uploads. Great videos. Finally answering questions on video. Love Oceania project so much. Great series. ❤❤❤

[@Qtopian]

Would be cool to make a neighborhood with private docks and maybe canals! Could be upper crust around the bay/ocean and more middle/upper middle by the canals

[@heartbreakingdebt]

Lol i love your videos. You should do the rust belt of US: Cleveland, Pittsburg, Detroit, Youngstown, Gary/Chicago, etc. Really interesting parts of the US. Industry becoming less so apparent nowadays, but still a strong historical presence in every aspect of life (from look and feel to highways and transport). I've lived in these areas all my life and have gained so much appreciation for their qualities through your videos and my own explorations. Keep creating,

[@localiised]

cant wait for all of this! super exciting.

[@MichaelDanger19]

Would love to see your take on an Appalachian city surrounded by mountains in a valley. Bunch of old brick buildings and unique neighborhood shapes!

[@zlango555]

Keep up the good work. No matter how long your videos will be, it's always nice to see new content from you :)

[@joshualukebamford]

Ahhh so relaxing watching your videos

[@alexwittig2760]

Would love to see some onboard videos from Oceania one day! Keep up the great work!

[@cletishempire6842]

I wish that City:Skylines had a mode where the needs(e.g. power and water)were removed because I'm always trying to build a city, but the needs always get in the way, only power and water, I searched for mods, nothing. I've been inspired so many times but didn't detail enough(or at all). The needs are one of the factors. Anyways, I love this series!

[@ZazaNugget_]

I’m a long time fan I kinda want to see something Chicago inspired, and have a little bit of everything The hoods The suburbs A giant airport Just s city Where I feel home, out of curiosity

[@FoolishPedro]

Thanks for answering my question. Its also reasuring to hear it takes yoy several tries when recording you're voice over. Its something ive been really struggling with my vids with my stutter. Now I know your'e editing your vo behind the scenes, and not just doing it in one take, I feel less selfconcious about it.

[@WilliamsBQH]

I think zoning suburbs is a great idea for suburbs / lower detail & 'background' areas.

[@Pac3627]

if you make a new rural town add one on the near the mountains like Jindabyne and add a few chairlifts in the mountains and bike tracks for a ski and bike resort. and how do you get the metro entrance assets to work

[@TeddyRadko]

Norfolk Island Styled island would be epic, for the record!

[@seashake]

I had an issue with the procedural objects button as well - I have no idea why it disappeared but found someone deep on the steam workshop page say the .ini file for PO has "location" option I believe, either that or it might just be in the in-game setting themselves where it's something like "reset positioning" but can't remember exactly. Point is, I think it's still there but it's just off the bottom-right hand side of the screen somewhere for whatever reason

[@drdewott9154]

Just wanted to comment before I forget but I think something in the style of a busway could potentially work for Mathilda point if there's room for it and it works well. Many Australian and New Zealand cities feature prominent busway systems like Auckland, Brisbane, and Adelaide.

[@jasperhall4868]

If it’s alright, I thought it would be really cool to make an inland city on the outskirts of Dundee inspired by the suburbs of Canberra like Belconnen. Or even you could make a radio tower atop of one of the mountains behind Matilda point inspired by Telecom tower (Telstra Tower), Also in Canberra. Last of all, you could try to make a seaside town on the other side of the map, inspired by some of the beachside towns of New South Wales, like Batemans bay, Moruya, or Tuross Head, but only if you want to. Sorry this was so long XD!!!

[@oliverrevis4190]

The Oceania series is rlly something else.

[@BeCaffe]

My key takeaways for CS2 would be: - An improved engine, like UE5 with Nanite. Think about it, unlimited poligons. Paint brush textures instead of Decals for seemless transitions theme textures. - Building/Prop mods files backward compatibility. - Some mods should be incorporated in some way, like the forrest selection mod, Move it, Search it, RICO (+more zoning filters), Loading Screen Mod, Overlayer, ACME, mods that remove things like pollution/seagulls/placement restrictions, theme mixer, Painter/Replacement mods, advanced network functionality like Intersection Making Tool, Network Tiling and Parking Lot Roads mixed together, (maybe PO), etc.

[@cooltwittertag]

Raytraced reflections would be insane but also so cost ineffective given the amount of relfections

[@TheCriminalViolin]

Can't forget about the ever important Traffic President! I think that absolutely should be a part of the mods that get implemented into base game in some fashion. It's somewhat of a necessity once one really starts expanding the game with mods. Then again, if they studied it, they could fairly easily just take what they learn from it's usage and code it into the game's behaviors and AI instead, negating any need for another TP mod.

[@BeCaffe]

@@cooltwittertag Nanite is the virtualized polygon tech. Lumen, on the other hand, is the hybrid raytracing tech. It's lighter than pure raytracing as the engine deals with virtualized illumination maps to put it simple. Everything is a giant pool of data. Real-time Global Illumination would look cool, but Nanite is the real deal as it provides the scale to build states rather than cities.

[@robloxdude7564]

I think for another series in the future, would be a boston/brooklyn styled city with elevated subways using the MOM

[@HeisenburgerYT]

I just have a little microsuggestion for the Oceania series; I know it's predominantly based on Australia and New Zealand, but maybe an island inspired off of Fiji or Samoa or something like that would be interesting.

[@s25268847]

I'm looking forward to the naval base in Dundee. Hope you find my asset useful as I create almost all the modern navy ships on the workshop.

[@doublea06]

The series, Springfield, Marble Mountain, and the other are NOT over. That's not good!!

[@oliverrevis4190]

Hey could you make something like the blue mountains in the centre of the map. With the unique cliffs and ridgelines?

[@Flying_Skier]

For the islands, New Zealand has a couple of little ones south of the main two. Could be cool to do something based on them

[@TraceBoland]

Favourite cities skylines content creator!

[@andrealbuquerque9646]

Since we're talking about latin american cities, i think you would do an amazing job tackling something like Rio de Janeiro. It's quite different from other cities around the continent, and has a lot of historical and socio-economic stuff to pull from.

[@timjohnblake]

As video editor I love the editing process spill 👌🏻

[@timjohnblake]

Also for the Tassie inspired village please take some inspo for table cape or Stanley 😍

[@jahawa.]

If your going to do the Latin America styled city I recommend using Panama as an inspiration it's a very distinctive country with a beautiful city with a mix of slums and rich, as I go there for family I see alot of things that are really beautiful

[@racingnathan89]

How good would it be to have an episode of just cinematic’s for Oceania.

[@nicmerrell1640]

I love that idea about the NYC styled city

[@nxthanj]

Just a random question but do you have route numbers incorporated for major roads or routes? Like for example, alphanumeric routing numbers or stuff like that.

[@gmdaskham]

Would love to see you have a crack at Jurassic World: Evolution 2. Would be interesting to see you in a city-type builder game, but with a twist.

[@nicolasblume1046]

Would be really cool if you could develop the metro network a bit like the networks proposed on Discord :) I remember that you really liked some of the network proposals

[@Gamma78.]

can you build in future a peacfull rural valley in oceania. only so 4 farms and some spreaded houses. i would love that

[@EckhartsLadder]

Lol if you do get back into SC4 you'll never complain about the hassle of downloading Skylines mods aha

[@twodollarstwenty]

Haha too true

[@noahkohn9350]

Would we all love to see more of your videos? Of course! Should you feel guilty for not providing us with more because you’re spending time with your child? Never!!!! Cherish every moment you have with them…they’ll be grown up in a blink of an eye.

[@Sassy.Sasquatch]

I watch your videos on my lunch break so an ideal video length (in my opinion) would be 25-30 minutes.

[@jursz6938]

Will you make more car POV video's, they are the best!

[@redape6947]

You should build a suburban stadium like Brookvale oval or Shark park and build a place like manly or Cronulla

[@shawnd-v1660]

It's great that C:S just basically announced pedestrian roads today

[@theamazingwhaleshark4478]

Not a military base but I think it'd be neat if there's a kind of radar/signalling outpost in the outback like Pine Gap but on a smaller scale

[@ander4163]

You could build the racetrack in Sunset city

[@iAmBoogie_]

Is there a way where I can download Oceania map just the map without the builds?

[@echocanidae]

It'd be interesting to see your take on something out of the ordinary for CSS videos and go for a South African or Middle Eastern city, I'm not sure I've ever seen those regions covered by someone at your skill level. (Or selfishly, something in the New England area of the US where I live, if you really want a disrupted grid system and overwhelming messes of bridge & tunnel infrastructure all smushed into a knot, look at the road layout of Boston)

[@hello96]

you could definitely make a British city! its very distinct and the whole of the uk looks the same so you could get inspo from many places

[@doublea06]

4:35 - And the Dundee metro extension. (Or not.)

[@scorpyaxe4200]

Is there any way to download your curent oceania map save ?

[@bryngeorge4893]

would you ever consider doing an ‘overview’ or ‘history of’ type video for oceania? i want to watch this series but i’m very behind lol

[@ChazTB]

when you do Cuba, it would be cool to build a prison in the hills, because they're separate nations, a lot of the smaller islands in the Carribean have their own prisons which they put up in the hills away from where people live. Cuba is obviously much larger than most of the islands, but I doubt it will be for you in Cities:Skylines so would be a nice addition.

[@renoflex7458]

We really need to keep an eay on the population!

[@H3rcules]

for me i think if they do another game of course improving the fps and adding the basic mods as standard but then also improving on the mod basis for example the surface painter should be more like paint where you can select a spray paint instead of a brush and would be able to have much better transitions between terrain without using hundreds of decals. i also think leaning more towards realism with some of the models would be better instead of the standard cartoony cars and people etc.

[@kingsley3208]

you should play workers and resources soviet republic -- you might like the focus on logistics in it.

[@mrplaylist8131]

i have to agree with the first comment zoning kills the vibes of the video and the city

[@niqpal]

wow that intro shot!

[@cossallo]

i have been able to get into save files such as sichuan province and marble mountain from your patreon! downloading the mod collections from the workshop and then clicking subscribe all in content manager seems to do the trick, because collection downloads can mess up a lot. if that doesn’t work, maybe try removing everything from your mods and doing the above process.

[@VoltyOnYT]

#qanda how do you manage to keep track of all your progress in differents maps? had you ever make progress in one map and accidentally realizing that it was the wrong map?

[@JC-pg3cy]

Love how Australian this city is!

[@Nooneoneoneoeneone]

Tbh zoned neighborhoods suck there is no fidelity sometimes when things take longer it’s better

[@blujitsu2180]

The PO button thing happened to me. I believe that, to fix it, I went into the mod config file and reset the button position to its default.

[@sukhman._]

U should try building indian city.... That would be a challenge

[@ycart_tech6726]

Not even India has succeeded yet...

[@prof.ballabypikkalbhattham4507]

I think it would be fascinating to see a third-world city like one in India, Brazil or Africa come to live in CS, because they have less of a plan when it comes to neighborhood building and are also often set in beautiful natural backgrounds

[@robbiewales3007]

Will you be using the Australian traffic lights that are available in the workshop

[@twodollarstwenty]

I didn’t realise there were!

[@felipecepeda7807]

[@tijncamerling9070]

Could you add a Rowing club somewhere in Oceania

[@ILoveQazaqstan]

I think you should experiment on Texas style cities like Houston and Austin, it'd be really fun to see a Texas style city tbh

[@dragonbornexpress5650]

Just, unfortunately, got to make sure to replicate the god awful Texan infrastructure; If you ain't using a car, you are completely shit out of luck.

I love this seires!

Do you think you have enough emergency services in the city im talking about police stations fire departments and hospitals

[@theromanianguy3892]

#qanda when will you update the Oceana map?

[@samisntcool1]

I think he might have said at the end of the series

[@nicolasblume1046]

3:44 you should at least add proper public transport links right from the start, especially at the airport. That is not something for "later"

[@Soundmaster91]

Instead of a military fort it should be a naval base given Sydney has a big one and Oceania its in the name, and surrounded by water

[@harrysykes6159]

add more cricket pitches

[@dxelson]

I'm still waiting on a update on the China project....

[@32bitintiger999]

Mini harbour bridge?

[@doublea06]

You forgotten about Australian traffic lights.

[@doublea06]

What about the Park People Generators?
