Footage was recorded over a stretch of a few days due to a tight schedule, and i got #rekt by a crash midway once. So i had to edit it together as many different chunks. I hope it doesn't show too much. Here's an imgur gallery with a bunch of shots of the city; imgur.com/a/Hl7Q5 Which of course brings me to something important; the city needs a name, and while i am shameless enough to come up with random Japanese words for the city's neighbourhoods and wards, the actual name of the city deserves a bit more thought. If you got a suggestion feel free to shoot in the comment section or as a comment to this post. If possible, explain what it means in Japanese and what the logic behind the name is. Hope you enjoy the video :-) PS. I dont know if Theine is dead, but i am embracing a bit more of a detail heavy / road customization building style and enjoying it a ton. This YT channel is fueled by passion of the game and the fun i have with creating and sharing with others. I will lose interest in projects with time, as i think most people will. When i was a vanilla-rockstar back when the game was fresh in 2015 i lost interest in a city in 2 hours lol. This "losing interest" phenomena is very profound with me because i stopped playing in late 2015 only to pick up the game regularly sometime in early 2017, so i am constantly learning stuff. This has the side effect of making earlier made areas/cities slowly but surely look unfinished or rushed, making me feel that i can do better. Its like that first CounterStrike 1.6 movie you stitched together in moviemaker as a teenager, where a single deagle kill was enough for a clip. Fast forward 10 years and now nothing but an ace or a nice 4k will be considered worthy. Great metaphor i hope hahaha I could do a "wrap-up" episode but i will most likely never consider a city as finished, as that would require an immense scale and spread, unless the project is intended to be small.
This is amazing! I've always wished for more Japanese series, so it's great when another one pops up - and this is right in my aisle. Good to see that Crumbs & co have gotten you into the way of detailing more heavily, because it's definitely paying off. Just the first episode and it's already looking fantastic. Just one tiny bit of advice since it's something I noticed in Japan: you seem to be connecting a lot of the residential buildings together, but in Japan there is always a tiny bit of space between them. Sometimes it's just about 20cm and sometimes it's enough for a narrow walkway, but the buildings almost never quite touch. Anyway I just wanted to say that to help you get closer to the realism you're striving for, and I don't think I can say anything else because damn you're well on your way.
You are correct and i noticed this when lurking google earth as well. Its a habit i guess, but ideally there would be a tiny bit of room. Overall the residential areas don't really receive the love they should, but the lack of assets and a focus on more fancy areas is the cause of that. Another reason is also that the residential vanilla assets are not square like most Japanese residential plots are, so i find i need to mash them together and have them at different angles to help alleviate that a bit :)
@@Infrastructurist i know that probably i´m saying this a little bit to late but; more than a habit its part of the earthquake protection they need for their buildings.
Infrastucturist. You’re a hell of a builder and everything you create does look beautiful in its own way. The only negative thing i can say about you is you can’t build ugly and nasty cities or areas. Theine is just too beautiful. The roads are one thing why I will love this new series. PS: If anyone is wondering Infrastructuris wrote in the coment that was as long as all the laws in Britain that Theine is NOT DEAD!
Funny someone points out Kendrick. The first 10 video's (or about) show Kendrick city centre. It isn't doing too well. I recommend you take alook if you want something more downtrodden.
I'm sure you might know this, but Japan is well known for its mountain pass roads, especially in the car community. It would be awesome if you made a mountain road that people used for street racing and drifting like in the show Initial D
Lmao I was thinking about suggesting a sort of Mount Akina/Haruna based pass and rural villages in the outskirts. Maybe complete with the parking at the end of the down hill and the resorts on the lake. And a Fujiwara tofu shop
I would recommend you the Metro Overhaul Mod, since it provides a different style of train tracks and lets you build ground metro tracks, thus making the whole transport thing more realistic. Great job as always!
> "realistic" He's building train, mainline rail or dc suburban train, not metro. There's no overhead line MOM track. Elevated metro downtown is rare in Japan. Even with train converter, MOM would obstruct seamless metro-train through service.
Sometimes I come back to this channel in some forlorn hope that you'll come back after 3 years hiatus lol. I mean weirder things have happened. Good luck with that master's thesis. Will keep coming back to gain inspiration for a long time to come. Cheers.
I keep coming back to this series years later. Between the visual aspect and the soundtrack you picked, this is the perfect ambient stuff to have up while drawing.
@@Infrastructurist You're welcome! By the way, what is the song you used for the intro? I saw you have the other songs listed, but I can't find the one you use for the title segment. I might be blind though.
OH MY GOD. This is... just flat out perfection!! Infrastructurist, you're the best city builder ive seen so far. I never knew that we couod do such exquisite and precise masterpiece in C:S. And its japanese-themed... My skills will not be like yours for sure.. oof... Great work
Man I'm a huge fan and I love all your builds. Even though your builds are incredibly realistic, something that is bothering me in all the different cities are those tight curves of the train tracks. They just wouldn't exist in real life. I know that it is nice to think about a perfectly connected city, but in reality most aren't, and the two (or more) main train/metro branches connect throw one or two stations where people have to switch train/metro
Whenever you come back, I bet you'll love node controller and the intersection marking tool. Hell maybe you'll love procedural objects if you aren't intimidated by it.
Wow, that’s insane. I totally like your city. As a Japanese and as you mentioned in the video, I don’t see the road markings natural, but that’s a tiny problem. Really insane and awesome and whatever. I just can’t describe my exact feelings in English!
It's over a year ago, but just watching now, so... Pity you had to use Korean signs by the Starbucks. And the only thing wrong about your braille ground tile thingies is that you don't have them all along the walkways. Having them ONLY at the crosswalks doesn't help that much... kinda need 'em to be linked to each other to be useful. But none of the Cities Skylines simulated people are blind, so no worries. :-)
This is what I wanted to do with this game, but I felt both technically incapable and lacking in available resources.. Thanks for this series, bringing it to "life" lol!!
I wish there were more buildings on the crossroads like the thumbnail in the base game. Always feels weird for them to be uniform and square-like. I'd like my crossroads to feel more like an open space and a plaza than a canyon of buildings going in a straight line in either direction.
I think that the city should be named ”アイランドシテ” (”Airandoshiti”) or ”Island City”, since this is one, and since it’s not uncommon in Japan to see cities with very obvious names.
Thats a nice suggestion, but the larger part of the city will not be situated on the island we've started worked on though, only Hayachiru (which i now realize means something crazy in japanese lol) and perhaps a small neighbourhood to the south, will occupy the island :)
You know how when they build cities, they always pause the game? I was wondering if the drivers on the highway ARENT PAUSED, but the moment you unpause it, BOOM! Without a blink, a fucking city just come out of nowhere!
I'm looking forward to completing your training in detailing. In time you will call *me* master. You want this, don't you? The desire to detail is swelling in you now. Take your PLT. Use it. Give in to your anger with how badly the game is made to do this shit. With each passing moment you make yourself more my servant.

Si alguien es español por favor decidme como tiene esa calidad de edificios y el suelo y todo porque yo tengo todo al máximo y no es así. Si es algún mod decidme cual es.
I Tokyo atleast, even if the roads have much traffic, many prefer the metro system/public transport. Main problem is they dont have enough parking spaces. Its not like in the US where there is 10x the amount needed.
Hi, first of all congratulations, your job is great. Can you tell me why I can not put special buildings? I have applied the mods, I have unlimited money, I have access to the megacity level, I have downloaded a lot of assets (especially those you put in the video) but most of the special buildings are black and I can not access it. (I specify that I start on the game and that what interests me most is to be able to make screenshots). Thank you in advance.

May i ask where we can get those Japanese residential and commercial buildings on Steam or some where?? Please !!!
please do Makati City/Bonifacio Global City, Philippines thank you :-)

And some well known Japanese car assets that drive around would also compliment the area quite nicely

monoko79 Shinji get in the eva
I was thinking about using that but in the end decided not to because of less available stations. But it seems that stations can be converted to MOM?
Yes you can, the mod requires some aditional mods, one of them being a track and station converter, so no problems on that part
> "realistic"

Double irony, we can never escape murican' culture. "We're all living in amerika" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

US Bank does have its operations in Japan.

OMG THAT INTRO SO BEAUTIFULL!!!!
It just looks like a Movie intro!!
Whenever you come back, I bet you'll love node controller and the intersection marking tool. Hell maybe you'll love procedural objects if you aren't intimidated by it.
Hahaha your prediction was perfect. Love NC and IMT, intimidated by PO 😅😁
Subbed! I'm a sucker for painstakingly-realistic city design and well-made video intros.
Wow, that’s insane. I totally like your city. As a Japanese and as you mentioned in the video, I don’t see the road markings natural, but that’s a tiny problem. Really insane and awesome and whatever. I just can’t describe my exact feelings in English!
I kid you not this series so good I'm rewatching it the 3rd time LMAO
You just earned yourself a Subscriber, your welcome !!!!!
I really wanted a Asian themed city!
They're the best :D
Keep watching above.
Calm yourself
Japan is ASIAN am I wrong?
@@jaydenmercado1195 japan is american colony
extreme details! looks very cool!
Nice, what this city needs now to look realistic is more cars on the roads!
You’ve got some real talent!
This is just no words... Amazing. How you can make it.
The amount of detailing he does kills me. In the sense that I cannot even think about doing this myself
Left Right i think his cities are top 3 of not the best, but he doesnt detail as much as other ytbers
Wow how detail is it amazing dude 👏👏👏👏
Superb work! 👍
I see that Yuttho inspiration.......
Hype!!
It's over a year ago, but just watching now, so...

I also really enjoy the presentation style!
Whats the song in your intro? Very cool video!
Wow! I love it and I can’t stop watching it
This video is so aesthetic
the billboard at the top of the US Bank building.. Ironically labeled "Never hide" xD
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW mate i dont have enought word. Its so beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!
Can you share the mods and assets list?

Sonny Mattsson I'm not Japanese but that name sounds like straight up Engrish
President Donald J. Trump If you were Japanese you'd have cheated the system big time!
アイランドシテ says airandoshite. Airandoshiti is アイランドシティ.

Thats a nice suggestion, but the larger part of the city will not be situated on the island we've started worked on though, only Hayachiru (which i now realize means something crazy in japanese lol) and perhaps a small neighbourhood to the south, will occupy the island :)
THAT'S 30000000% JAPANESE !!!!!!!!!! NICE WORK BRO 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
13:49 *adds us bank building in a Japanese city along with some billboards in English
That's lots of work 👏👏👏👍 nice
I like how you made the train station yourself
The city should be named Kakushin Wan, or Innovation Bay. It would be a great name because I️ see this as being a center of technological advancement.
Nice suggestion, will note that!
What software did you use .Awesome and creativity design … i love it … well done …
Japan 🇯🇵 fast growing in skylines …
I LOVE THE JAPANESE VERSION AND YOUR MOVIE :D
Damn the attention to detail
Damn, watching you building anything makes me want to go back to cities skylines (modded ofc)
Really like how You hid the us-bank sign with a billboard saying "never hide" :)
18:27. Don't worry about your blind viewer base. They will never see it coming. :)
Same i want a japanese city theme for console ive built 6 cities already all successful
Love it!
You have inspired me to make a giant city like Tokyo
Damn it, I thought I'm a stylist builder... I just realized I'm lower than germs...
i think that you need to begin thinking for the future.
Do a Ring Road, kid of like Tokyo's C1 Kanjou route, towards the downtown section of the city.
You know how when they build cities, they always pause the game? I was wondering if the drivers on the highway ARENT PAUSED, but the moment you unpause it, BOOM! Without a blink, a fucking city just come out of nowhere!

very very good !
I love this so much wow
Did you leave the european project?
Twisty McCheezy [TM] I hope it isn’t Kendrick all over again :/
I bet it will be.
I bet so too. I'm in with 10 bucks.
To give a longer and painful-to-read answer; This YT channel is fueled by passion of the game and the fun i have with creating and sharing with others. I will lose interest in projects with time, as i think most people will. When i was a vanilla-rockstar back when the game was fresh in 2015 i lost interest in a city in 2 hours lol.
This "losing interest" phenomena is very profound with me because i stopped playing in late 2015 only to pick up the game regularly sometime in early 2017, so i am constantly learning stuff. This has the side effect of making earlier made areas/cities slowly but surely look unfinished or rushed, making me feel that i can do better.
Its like that first CounterStrike 1.6 movie you stitched together in moviemaker as a teenager, where a single deagle kill was enough for a clip. Fast forward 10 years and now nothing but an ace or a nice 4k will be considered worthy. Great metaphor i hope hahaha
I could do a "wrap-up" episode but i will most likely never consider a city as finished, as that would require an immense scale and spread, unless the project is intended to be small.
nuuuu i live in a european city. i want more inspiration D,:
I like Japan, I like Tokyo, I like Osaka and Kyoto.
After this series you should do New York or Los Angeles
that's nice いいゾ〜これ
0:35 The building at the right side is Taiwanese building.Just told you,not judging you.
Oh boy, I can already see the number of traffic accidents go up...
But still, lovely city so far!
Do a Australian City please
Very Nice Build.I just have a hard time just making good cities.
could you release a mod list for the finished project?
we NEED a fucking fps train route video after its done
What is the music in the intro?
What tools or mods you used? I also want to build freely like this, without any cillisions.
Si alguien es español por favor decidme como tiene esa calidad de edificios y el suelo y todo porque yo tengo todo al máximo y no es así. Si es algún mod decidme cual es.
Chapeau bas
nice, beautiful ... awesome :) ... do you have somewhere any list of the mods and assets you are using in those videos? Thx for reply.
When you don't know if it's the real Japan or a video game😂
How do you get the black roads you're using?
Look at all the great things you can do with Cities Skylines.
You can’t do that in Simcity at least the latest version.
Amazing, but where the parking places? Many of wide roads for heavy traffic, but i dont see, where parking :(
Влад Салоедов public transport is really good in Asian countries
I Tokyo atleast, even if the roads have much traffic, many prefer the metro system/public transport. Main problem is they dont have enough parking spaces. Its not like in the US where there is 10x the amount needed.

Can I ask about the name of the mod of road markings, the tiles for side walk and the thing like painting the ground? :D thanks so much

Awesome
can anybody tell me the list of the mods he is using? please
