glad you're focusing on what you're passionate about man. I really love that New Dollarton series so hopefully we'll get a new episode relatively soon. Merry Christmas mate hope you take care
You were one of my favorite UA-camrs back in the CS1 days not gonna lie…the consistent videos, the storylines, the level of detail. Been really disappointed lately with the lack of consistent content and series. Hoping for the best moving forward!!
Marble Mountain!! The throwback I needed today. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, sir. I understand the “I’ll release that later…” I have at least 2 “unfinished” series that I want to come back to, but finding the time to do it when so many great new things are coming out is difficult.
I’m super pumped for the new CS1 series, of course I’d watch any content no matter the game but if you focus on the stuff you’re actually motivated for it will totally come out in the final product
i do love your cs2 content but what keeps me tuning in to your videos is your style of building and how well you use the tools available to you, i get super inspired watching your videos. i like watching the cs2 videos cause that's the game i play most myself, but i'm here for the stuff you create, not the game you do it in.
I love the map you've made for the new series, I feel like it's kinda uncanny to the resemblance of Aussie geography without directly just copying it. It's a skill I admire so much man!
I would absolutely love to see a return to Oceania to finish the island because the map you made for the train series reminded me of it. It was my favourite series by you as an Australian 🇦🇺 and I absolutely loved it
Ugh... honestly growing frustrated with what was my favorite CS creator and channel back in the day. Constant series shifting while simultaneously never finishing a series properly. Far too many gaps in content for various reasons. Constantly rebuilding the same parts of a city over and over to me isn't compelling content. You all can flame me all you want but I've been a long time subscriber and former patreon supporter of this channel going back to the MM days. I can't be the only one that feels this way.
No, you're not the only one! He keeps doing it: have an amazing idea, spend months building the base map and grows bored/unmotivated by the city halfway through. I was soo into Sunset City and he shelved it unfinnished. I was kind of interested in New Dollarton (even though I hated the "dollar" inspired names for New Jersey/New York) and then he stopped posting videos gradually... I'm feeling frustrated also! That's why I've moved to get excited by Timeister's videos... at least he's consistent
Same. Think there are just too many 'ideas' that fizzle out. Have been a subscriber for a couple of years - and I love the builds - but can't feel invested in them any more as a viewer. Bit like a Netflix show that you think will get cancelled at any point.
@@lemonjuce yeah! I was watching the videos, because C:S content creators take something of a week/2 weeks to release videos. But I'm not motivated to follow $2,20's videos because of this. There are other creators that are way more consistent than him. Any new idea he has, he abandon his last project... It's a shame, because he's one of few content creators that I personally like his building ideas/techniques
Is bro serious you are the reason I play this game your city skylines 1 series is goat status I was watching your videos on my second monitor while playing the game for like 5 hours straight you are the master or realistic looking city ❤
I'm glad you showed Theme Parkitect. That game is so lovely! Great to see some other games come along. And with passion projects, if you are passionate then the audience will also be. Stuff like that transcend trough the screen your watching on. Have a good 2025!
I’ll be rocking with you until the end! CS 1 or CS 2 but I will say I am so so excited to see you back on CS 1. Die hard fan for life and I can’t wait to see what 2025 brings for the channel! ❤
good luck buddy, i joined ur channel leading up to skylines 2. was so hyped, and they really really fkd ya. i havent watched a building videos since a week from launch. that game has left so much salt in many mouths, that wont touch for another 12mnths until it gets modded and looks like CS1. it was just an absolute shamozzle. branch out, find new games. ur presentation, editing and persona are what sets you apart, any game you give your passion to people will love. god i wish creative assembly gave us a good city builder Rome 3. not just some generic city junk. you and SIMPZY would kill it.....anyways merry xmas...much love. fan for life. xoxo
Just please commit to something dude. One week you have "so many ideas and Oceania is nowhere near finished" then the next video you say "ah well Oceania is basically finished so I'm done with it". Its super frustrating to get invested and the constant change. You're incredibly talented!
Oh i think once mods come in it will look great in city skylinestwo ,great work 2.20 $ keep up the good work love it merry Christmas also it’s 10.00 pm from Bathurst
Glad i found you this year 2024 was not the best for me but I too am looking forward to 2025 going to be doing so new and bringing back some old all over going to be a great year for the comeback kid lol cheers mate I look forward to seeing much more content from you Ya Legend love the Tomis the Tank Engien inspired island going to be sick as a lover of trains myself inspired by my pops whom I lost this year in April, makes me smile see you in 2025 TDT
Hi, one of your "old audience" here :) Im excited to see you return to CS1, and with such an original concept too. And i love the clearer focus on a main series, if i got that correctly. Personally i havent really watched in a long time because i was never interested in CS2 (i think CS1 is way better for the purposes of detailers like me, especially since the updates ceased). Ill be tuning in now for the 60ies model railroad, and hope you have a lot of fun with that project! Hope that 2025 will be a better year for you
cheers for the updates, really sad to hear that Oceania and sunset city are going to be left with so much area for improvement. CS1 was amazing and i genuinely enjoyed watching CS1 creators alike. cant stand CS2 garbage except for when there's interesting stuff being built not just generic suburban area. what set you apart in CS1 was that your series had character, you could tune into a video expecting something really entertaining. i feel like your motivation and dedication to a project is really sloppy and as a viewer i cant grow attached to a series. then again its up to you.
I feel like there's no consistency here, untortunately. I'm not able to get invested in CS1 anymore, and I can't get invested in a series that ends every couple episodes or comes out every 3 months at best. Your videos are cool, but so many other creators are pushing forward in CS2 with mods and frankly incredible builds while a lot here just feels stagnant and stuck in the past. Wish you the best, but as a newer viewer this ain't it for me.
would love to see you go back and finish your old series. Sunset city was incredibly unique and creative. focus on 1-3 cities at a time, so it can be consistent for viewers. For me, CS1 content is much preferred but I appreciate any video. Merry Christmas!!
I love Planet Coaster and have played Frontier games since they worked on RollerCoaster Tycoon 2. Their DLC model with Planet Coaster 2 is dangerous and outright disrespectful to consumers. Day 1 DLC that blatantly ripped items out of the base game like a carousel and slide. One month later they have still failed to fix launch day bugs and instead released a second DLC with more ripped content. They offered a pre-order and launch day "Deluxe edition" that included the ripped launch day dlc, however one month later the second DLC is not even included in that bundle, there is now a newer "Premium edition" bundle. Neither of these DLC packs have included new build pieces or scenery, only rides that have existed in every previous version of this game so far. Their latest hotfix only included two very minor things and ended up making the game nearly unplayable for many, breaking campaign missions and causing game crashes. Colossal Order at least acknowledged their poor launch and have been attempting to fix it at every turn, it may have taken a year but they have honestly been trying. Frontier had a terrible launch and instead of addressing feedback they doubled down with second extremely greedy DLC with bare bones content. They ended Planet Coaster 1 by releasing a DLC subscription, despite terrible feedback they kept it up. So far they have proven their new DLC model to be even worse - taken a childhood classic and added an EA games approach. There's so much creative potential in Planet Coaster and normally I would love a series on that game but the pay structure is outrageous. There is a potential in the game and I don't mean to undercut the work done by the actual devs, but whoever is making financial decisions over there needs to be removed immediately before it causes more permanent damage to Frontiers reputation. We gained pools, but lost so much other content from the first game, now it's all being sold back to us piece by piece for $10-20. Seriously, things like wooden coasters and carousels in a theme park game were not included in the base game and added as day one DLC, c'mon... Rant over, I enjoy your City Skylines content, but support you playing other games as well. Just maybe check back in with Planco2 once the whole community isn't in a rage 😂😅
Maybe you should just play the game for fun, who says you *have* to be a content creator? That way you can jump between different cities and games without worrying about consistency
My guess is that most of us regulars are agnostic to the game - City Skylines 1 or 2 doesn't matter. The content, the story, the fascinating builds are worth far more than which game version you do it on - as long as it can run, of course... I understand, there is a comparison to other gamers on UA-cam that are always about the latest game or DLC, but your videos transcend that, and it is nice. Any series you have worked on has been enjoyable, just getting to see your vision come to life is great to watch. Thanks for the videos.
CS2 isn't warming up to me at all, i have tried, but now lost interest completely and stopped watching vids about it. The game is just to sterile for me and unfortunately half backed.
yall need to realize cs2 is a pretty good game and it will only get better as time moves on. wanting content creators to only focus on one older game because its what you like most is parasocial and self-absorbed
A “what-if?” city - Britain never colonized Australia and New Zealand. Aboriginals, Māori, and other Asians all live in harmony in a futuristic city well ahead of the west.
Sorry about the poor quality with this one. I'm editing on my clunky PC and don't have much to work with :/
MAybe some manor lords?
Give me my sunset city 😢
RIP Sunset City and Oceania
glad you're focusing on what you're passionate about man. I really love that New Dollarton series so hopefully we'll get a new episode relatively soon. Merry Christmas mate hope you take care
me too!

Please, I've been enjoying the New Dollarton series. Please don't abandon it.

I was so hyped to see a new CS1 series, I dearly miss Sunset City and Oceania especially, and I'm excited to see where this new project goes
I love the map you've made for the new series, I feel like it's kinda uncanny to the resemblance of Aussie geography without directly just copying it. It's a skill I admire so much man!
That’s exactly what I was going for! Thanks bud

Definitely keen to see more CS1 content from you.
I think you don’t owe us UA-cam watchers anything. But as a long time watcher I hope you finish a series for once 😅
I still haven't moved to CS2, i can't see it ever matching CS1 😕

Thanks man! It definitely wasn’t the year I was expecting and I’m hoping that mods take the game to a whole new level!

Jeez I butcher the most simplest of names, Houtsmaa was a challenge. Thank you for the support mate ❤️
@ it’s Dutch so that probably doesn’t help ahahahah

Thank you for bringing back cities 1!
the old marble mountain footage made me sad. what an amazing series. maybe someday you can do an updated montana, montana in planet coaster.

Will you try transport fever 2?
Oh thank gosh, i was so scared that you would give up Planet Coaster 2. The first two episode are so entertaining
im not interested in cs2 content, so im happy you are working on cs1 again
It sounds like you need to invest in a proper production PC in 2025.

So can we get back to CS 1 for good?
it's crazy how good you are at building in planet coaster
all those hours messing around with procedural objects paying off huh?
I don't think I even got an alert for the second train video... :(
Will you release this map to the public?
Forgot how much I missed mm
Very excited for this Australian themed, thomas the tank engine map.
I noticed the streets being completely empty in these clips, is that normal?
I'm from Dublin. I recommend literally any other city, lol.
Yess!! Parkitect!!!
Hey, Sorry to bother! Im having a little trouble with the Oceania map theme, maybe I could ask you if you've got time?
Maybe you should just play the game for fun, who says you *have* to be a content creator? That way you can jump between different cities and games without worrying about consistency
You soum try Surviving Mars, its an amazing citybuilder
as much as I love cities 2 its sad that you can still build miles better cities on cities 1 and it will probably be like that for a while
My guess is that most of us regulars are agnostic to the game - City Skylines 1 or 2 doesn't matter. The content, the story, the fascinating builds are worth far more than which game version you do it on - as long as it can run, of course...

Time zones are crazy. It’s already 2025 in Australia? 😂
Honestly, just do you. It's your channel and you're a great creator. Get those creative juices flowing again, recharge and come back with a bang!
Bro...Sunset City 😢
CS2 isn't warming up to me at all, i have tried, but now lost interest completely and stopped watching vids about it. The game is just to sterile for me and unfortunately half backed.
hi :)
I'd say change it up by ditching CS2.
No need to ditch the game but branching out doesn't hurt
