How many fires did you see in the video? Drop a comment and let me know! ALSO... a FULLY working version of the Verde Beach save can be found here - steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2859363112 .

The support means more to me than I could ever adequately express with words... you guys are the best!
100 episodes. When did that happen. In fact who are you, never heard of you in my life? You sound like some crazy bloke who has a slight( huge) obsession with landscaping if you ask me! Don't wanna be rude but if you're gonna be this fixated on building up imaginary cities you should just get a job in that kinda field and actually do something that has a real world impact. Something like a planner for cities or whatever they call those people. Don't ask me I'm not really into that sorta thing. Here's to another 100 eh. That's 100 episodes. Obviously the fires ( which have nothing to do with all those tree's & bushes of course) will number in the 55-65,000
Did anyone think of the children concerning these fires lol? As this map seems prone to fires, I was just wondering do you have your smoke detector policy on? When that policy is on, just as the people seem to pull cars in and out of their pockets, they seem to fill the forests with smoke detectors to help prevent forest fires. It costs a bit of money but you should be producing a good amount of money now to cover it. But I guess Verde Beach wouldn't be the same if it wasn't constantly on fire lol.
somewhere between 30 and 50 fires, altho some where maybe double counted cause they apeared in 2 shots, and some where not counted cause it whas 2 in 1 shot and they where counted as 1 (i also counted some of the fire remenents that where learly visible at some points and the black areas in the build timelaps) if you also count all the fires in myrtles revenge its somewhere between 60 and 80
Jeez...I remember when this city started. That feels like only yesterday. Over the course of the series, every episode got better, and so did your ability as a creator. Keep up the good work, we can't wait for more Verde Beach!
I like how you narrated this video, it makes it seem like a real city, with notable people like Maggie, making it sound like the inhabitants were actual real people, it’s amazing how someone can be so creative and make history within a game😄
Putting into perspective how much this project took as a viewer, 86 hours, I just imagine how many more hours it takes you. Thank you for your work, it is amazing to have such great entertainment and insight from you. To many more videos, and greater success for you.
Been with Verde Beach since the first breaking of ground. There's a park in the city named after my dad, and a few streets and other facilities named after some of my suggestions. Verde Beach is my city and I'm so grateful for you and everyone watching for making this city what it is today. Thanks for being here, Phil. Verde for life.
Maybe something like the Statue of Liberty. The first you see when you arrive at the City. A memorial and a tourist attraction on an artifical island or built on the highest point of the city looking over it.
I'd love to see Verde Beach around for another 100 and another 100 episodes! Creating, fixing, improving, and creating, on and on. Just like real life. Grateful that I can witness the history and the “becoming well and full” (couldn't find the right word) of this living city.
Thank you so much for the support and kind words! You've hit it right on the head and that's one of the reasons I don't want to stop now - Verde Beach is exactly where a planner would jump in and be expected to iterate on the city! Cities are constantly changing, evolving, and improving. Nothing is ever "done"!
Phil I'm terrible at English(Speaking) but yeah you're amazing! When I was alone, when my friends were hurting me, and couple months ago, when I had a surgery and was alone in the hospital for a week Your videos made me very happy and notification always makes me exited. I love how you always look happy in your videos and that makes me happy too! Wish u the best!
Thank you so much and I'm glad that I could help! I hope that things are going better for you now and I look forward to continuing to make videos for you!!
Everyone in the comments has already mentioned how wonderful this series is in so many ways so i won't repeat them. But I have to say that its been incredibly enjoyable watching this series, and listening to your commentary and the music in the background is always so relaxing and comfortable. CPPhil, you sir are a master of video creation and a genuine treasure.
This series singlehandedly reenergized my love for this game and taught me new ways to think about building my cities. I cannot thank you enough for your work, Phil!
This video really shows why I love watching your video. You tell a story with your build. Other creators may build nice cities but no one can match the level of story telling and analysis that you provide. Congrats on 100 episodes!
Huge congrats, Phil! Verde Beach and this channel in general have come such a long way. From Bluffside Crossing to Clearwater County, it’s been such a treat to see how your content has evolved. All the best, and here’s to more!
Such an amazing series, this was the first and so far the only vanilla series that actually had me waiting for the next episode. History was made on that one day in december, almost 2 years ago! About this video, I can see why this took 'some' time, haha. I love this recap and the way you tell the history of VB as a story. Great job Phil, way more to come!
Thank you for the past 20 months of VB content, it's amazing to think how it has progressed since episode 1. As well as the city, it has also been great to see how far you've progressed as a content creator, the way you include the audience in this process & the confidence you have gained in your presentation. Thank you for this & I am looking forward to the next 100 episodes!
It has been a really big journey with you, and you completely turned around my vision of vanilla C:S! At first I thought it was very boring but after watching some of you VB episodes I got really interested in your channel (I actually started from the 50th episode where you built and detailed the Sterling estate which was collosal!) and your videos are always relaxing and eagerly anticipated ❤️❤️
Thank you for this series Phil. I’ve been watching every morning when I have my breakfast ever since the beginning. So glad I stumbled upon this lovely community. Looking forward to watching whatever you do next.
I've been a subscriber of this channel before Verde Beach Series started and I've watched and enjoyed every single one of them. Keep up the Great work.
I’ve fallen in and out of the series, I used to watch since episode 1 and watched every new episode until like episode 20 or so. And then kept going back every 15 episodes and watching one or two episodes to keep track off whats happening. I love this series and this city; and this episode really helped me recap off everything, thank you for an amazing two years and I hope it goes on longer!!
Verde Beach changed this game for me. I've watched the whole series twice, up to the last few episodes. Verde Beach taught me why things are done the way they're done. It taught me that perfect doesn't have to be the enemy of good, so I could enjoy vanilla for what it was. It opened up so much for me even in real life. I feel like I understand the workings of the world at a different level now. Phill, you've created something magical here. I'm so glad to have been around for all of it. You've enriched all our lives with your knowledge, entertained us with your playstyle, and your friendly voice has soothed our hearts and relaxed our minds. ❤ thank you
Verde Beach is the ultimate city build, and for me is the best of all your bulids. I absolutely love both the city planning itself and the storytelling you incorporate in it, ever since episode 1 with all that crazy dirt roads. Even though sometimes you struggle with the vanilla restrictions, this city come up amazing and very relatable for me personally
Can't believe it's been two years already, so many things have changed in my life since the series started. You've been always kinda there for me when I'd feel down so thank you very much and keep being you!
I remember when episode 18 came and I broke at that time my elbow and it is a nostalgic feeling to look back at the episode when I first seen it lying in bed and watching the episode. Thanks for this great series.
Congrats on such a huge milestone! Verde Beach has definitely come a long way since episode 1, and it’s great to see how far VB has truly come! 🎊Congrats on episode 100! 🎊Definitely took a lot of hard work.
I still vivdly remember the day I discovered your youtube channel. It was around the middle of your Bluffside Crossing series, when the channel was still called "A city planner plays city builders". A few months later you launched the Verde Beach series and, my god, that was something. No Cities Skylines vanilla series looked as epic, as ambitious as this one. And you delivered on that promise episode after episode. The result is one of, if not the, most beautiful cities ever created in vanilla! You're a gem of an educator. I actually learned about Cities Skylines by watching this series. You put so much knowledge in each episode, whether it's about game mechanics or real city planning cases from your experience in Wisconsin. Finally, no content creator can create stories as compelling in Cities Skylines as you do, and I mean that, and I've seen almost each content creator. No one comes close. Those 5179 minutes of Verde Beach or more than 3 and a half day are some of the best ones I've ever spent :) PS: too much fire XD
Feels like only yesterday I settled in to watch Phil start a new build! Crazy to think it was 2 years ago. 86 hours of content. Great achievement Phil! Here's to the next 200 years of Verde Beach!
Hey City Planner Plays. I've been watching your channel for about 2 years now and you are one of the things that inspired me to pursue urban planning. Tomorrow is my first day going into university to study planning. I just wanted to thank you for being such a good inspiration
I discovered youre channel after i watched biffa's video about traffic fixes and i watched you build myrtle park in episode 21 and i didnt even realise we are in episode 100 already. Keep it going phil you are a very good story teller and entertain us all thank you phil!
Wow it hardly feels like 2 years since starting this series. It’s been so cool to see verde beach grow into what it is today. And it provided me with lots of inspiration for my own cities in the game. And I love that it’s basically a vanilla city. I think that makes it even more special
Hi! I had played for 335 hundred hours, and I have only played with the videos, first Tutoria and now I am with Verde Beach... mine is called Purple Valley, as I love purple. Thanks Phil for all the time you spend to guide us
Bless you CPP. its been a wild ride and i've enjoyed it in its entirety. From the relaxation that comes from watching methodically lay out your roads to the awkward laugh when you pan across another fire XD. All great entertainment while giving pause to the thought processes behind what goes into an effective development strategy. So glad to be on the journey with you, i've enjoyed it a ton and learnt a lot. Eminent domain is a phrase that will stay with me forever.
Thank YOU for 100 episodes of VB, CPP! Been here the whole time and I can't believe it!! Getting to watch your videos and chill with you during livestreams are a highlight of my week. I appreciate you and I look forward to the future of VB. Take care and stay awesome, my friend!
I started watching you when i was working the night shift, now back on the day shift, and it has been a blast. Even though I cant bring you to work with me and watch you build when the patients are good and sleeping i still make sure to catch every episode. You're a fantastic content creator and your experience in the field bring such a great flare to the videos. It got me interested in city planning and i can't avoid looking at things in my day to day and think "I wonder how this was planned" or "This is strange i wonder what the history behind this part of town with its unique feel is" and I never really paid that much attention before. The city was just the city and i never thought about its history and the thoughts behind its layout. So thank you so much for that and the amazing content. Cheers! / Rose from Sweden.
Holy cow, I can't believe it's been over 5000 hours of Verde Beach. I watched both this series and Clearwater County from the beginning then fell off for a while and caught back up on VB in the last couple months. This week I started back on CC and the difference in your build styles between the series really struck me. In VB, you'll spend a couple episodes developing a very thoughtful neighborhood and have a real addition to the city at the end. In CC, you're spending a whole episode with a couple hotels or a target and really dialing in all the details on a very limited space because the tools are there with all the mods. My personal style is more toward Verde Beach but I really like seeing what you're able to accomplish the the right mod set.
I came across your channel via CWC and but even then I never imagined a vanilla series could make me so addicted. I love the work you've done so far and this episode is really something else! When you went through all the phases of development it shows how much thought and work was put into creating this humongous project. I also loved the little time lapse showing how the city grew organically!
Bruh, every time I watch your videos, I am so inspired to build a new city with a fully realized purpose and narrative. This brings a whole new insight and perspective to how one should think of a city's roots and current story.
This is so wonderful! As someone who's been watching VB from day one, and has watched all 5000+ minutes of it, I'm so glad it's still going on and has gone 100 episodes and hopefully it'll go 100 more 💝
Thank you! And I'm enjoying watching your progress as a creator, too! Awesome growth and I look forward to seeing where you go! The sky is the limit, Diana!!
@@CityPlannerPlays oh wow thats so kind of you to say and it means a lot as your channel was one of the first CS channels i really got into and I still look forward to new videos each week
The story line in this series is very intense. I really love how it’s all come together with a story, it makes it much more interesting to watch you build.
86 Hours of my 1000 hours of Cities have been spent being inspired by your road layouts. The main thing I learned from your videos is how much more fun this game is when you tell a story. And big thanks to your family for letting you have fun!
I'm proud to say I've followed this build since the beginning. It's been amazing watching you grow as a content creator, Phil, and the city develop over it's many, many decades. Congrats on 100 episodes everyone! Here's to another 100!
just started watching it and i have to say it, i missed that old intro! such a great one. i remember watching the first ever VB video, watched all the videos too. What a journey. Thank you for the joy you brought Phil
I binged this series when I was sick in March and have not missed an episode since. There are only a few things that truly bring me comfort and somehow Verde beach is one of them. thank you for your hard work, let's keep this series going for a long time
Sometime last year, I opened one of the Verde Beach saves on my PC, after about 20 minutes checking out the city, the power supply popped and the PC was out of action until I replaced it. I gained another level of respect for the city that day, I was just lucky I didn't get a traditional Verde Beach fire!
Phil, you're the first CS channels that I discovered and since that time I got stuck into your way of doing things. Since bluffside, I'm in a process of learning things from you and honestly couldn't be better! You're the best!
What I honestly love about your videos, is your attention to details. It also really encourages me to see that even you are often not satisfied with the final result of your planning, or the technical outcome and workability, so that you often break down something and start from scratch. Sometimes I think I'm too stupid to build a beautiful, working city, but your videos tought me that it's okay to make mistakes and reconsider something. Thank you so verry much for your great content 🙏
My God, this episode is definitely my favorite. Seeing Verde Beach growing from the start is like raising my own child. Not even a little feeling of disappointment comes from spending my time watching every single episode of this city (I even watched several episodes more then once). Hope this city could grow more and long live to 200 episodes or even more. I love the time lapse of the growing maps a lot. Good job Phil. Hope you enjoy doing these and be healthy
It’s been really awesome watching you for the last two years. Your ability to problem solve and take the community (residents) of VB into account is second to none. It’s amazing how you’ve done it with so much grace. I’m sure you’re also an amazing city planner because you’ve got the perfect skillset for it.
Followed you from day 1. You were my only friend when covid lockdown hit my country Malaysia. Truly amazing to have been given this opportunity to walk with you. Keep it up!
I wasn't here from the start, but I instantaneously binged the building of the city once I discovered it after watching a Clearwater video. this city now means everything and can't wait to see where it ends. when the fires started I laughed and cried at the same time as I watched the city burn down.
phil, i did not expect to get emotional watching this, but watching verde beach's growth - and your growth along with it as a creator, planner, and builder - was stunning and a sight to behold. i've been a fan and subscriber since bluffside crossing, and seeing every part of your second oldest series come to light in a single episode was really just... a journey. thank you so much for blessing youtube with not just content, but genuinely educational, well-intentioned, and well-constructed, reality-based information and wisdom. i have no doubt in my mind that you've inspired populations of people to not only re-evaluate the way they think of cities: skylines, but the way they think of cities and urban and regional planning in general. keep up the amazing work! ❤
This has got to be one of the best made, entertaining videos I've ever watched on youtube. Kudos to you City Planner - it's impressive to see how much time and thought has gone into this and to have watched this series from (nearly) the beginning it's great to see it all together in this video. Love the vids, keep up the good work!
Hey CPP, long time fan, first time commenter-this is the MOST comprehensive overview, I'm a Teacher of the Deaf by trade (language/access to language is my focus) and a student of architecture & city-planning by passion and I must say, this video is phenomenal! I've been playing C:S since its debut and I know the time you've spent on building this city and your commentary is remarkable-applause and props! Thank you!
As a former resident of Bluffside Crossing, I'm so happy to have moved to Verde Beach not long after it's founding. Yes, my house has burned down numerous times. That's life in Verde Beach. You just have to be prepared for 🔥. I've enjoyed many visits to the Hamilton Experience (still my favorite place to go). You've made an amazing city with an incredible back story. That's what makes it so fun to watch the episodes. Keep up the amazing work. Long live Verde Beach! 🔥
I purchased a Verde Beach hoodie today to celebrate the 100th episode. After all, I’ve spent over 3 days there. 😊 Thanks for all the great C:S content Phil and congratulations on 100 episodes of Verde Beach! 🎉
Verde Beach is what finally got me into Cities Skylines and I've sunk many hours into watching you and Biffa (who I rediscovered from his Hermitcraft days) and playing the game, incorporating everything I've learned from watching so many hours of Verde Beach and Clearwater County. Thanks for all of the content you provide
The first episode I saw was the Lewis Garden City one, and I haven't missed one since. It's incredible what you have built, even more so only using vanilla and no mods! You've inspired me and countless others to learn more about cities skylines and city planning in general. I'm here for however many episodes there ever will be. Thanks Phil!
Verde Beach is one of the best Vanilla City. Love the history and the story behind the built. I never miss any of the episodes. When I have the mean to play City Skylines, Verde Beach will be my benchmark.
This was so crazy to watch to see how much has changed since E1🤯It's been absolutely awesome to witness all the planning, hard work, and mulligans (lol) it took to make this amazing city and channel what it is now! Can't wait to continue this story and see how much the city changes further down the road 🎉
This and Clearwater County have been my go to video series for putting on in the background while I work. I can't wait to see how you incorporate the upcoming Plazas DLC into the build.
Being following this city since episode 1, two years ago, this feels like a real place with a real history. Thank you so much for all the good moments and lessons throughout the course of your channel, and this series. Wish you the best!
Episode 1 feels like it went up just weeks ago, 100 episodes, jeez. This series got me to try again with the game. I had learned how to get through the unmodded game by doing a battery start, and blocky temporary stages to stay ahead of unlocking the various way points, before finally just redoing everything once I had all the money and tools. It was unsatisfying. Verde Beach series taught me that you can have the challenge of the unmodded game, but also build a story a history and a real feeling city from turn one. And now it's one of my favorite games of all time. What a journey.
i can't believe stirling estates is now the halfway point in verde beach's history. could've sworn i watched that video maybe a month ago ??? honestly this whole thing is such a tremendous achievement and i'm so impressed by the care and thought that goes into this series
I appreciate this condensed version! I hadn’t watched any of these videos but this felt like the perfect amount of time I wanted to spend on watching and the storytelling was great!
I can't belive it has passed so much time, I thought we would not make it trough the pandemic, and here we are. Thank you so much for inspiring and most of all for being with me trough the enclossure and infection and being well again. Congratulations on your channel
I started watching this channel at VB episode 3 (binging all three episodes in one weekend). Its wild to think that it’s been 2 years and 97 episodes since then! Love this channel and this city, especially how organically it evolves. Whenever you zoom out at the end of an episode I’m struck by how beautifully realistic the city is shaped, as it’s distinct neighborhoods and towns have merged together to form a bigger metropolis.
I just love the realism applied with the storyline here. I’ve somewhat started playing somewhat in the same way, except without the storyline and much more like how a city would naturally grow. Keep it up!
So 99 episodes ago, you knew where you were going to end up and planned out this massive narrative from day 0? I love it (fitting a narrative to the future and bending time to confirm to your needs. Life should be one wonderful script)!
It's crazy to think I stumbled upon your channel near the beginning of Verde Beach and it only seems like yesterday. Your ability to create interesting and engaging content over that time has kept me hooked on this series! Thank you for continuing to work on it and I'm excited to see what becomes of Verde Beach in the future!
This series specifically inspired my love for the game, and gave me the motivation and confidence to try my own hand at creating content. I look forward to following along with all of your series, because I greatly enjoy them. Thank you for all the work and love you put into this.
ok I just love that this city has a rich history, of planning, current development and future growth, all explained stage by stage as the city literally grows up before our very eyes, thank you City Planner Plays, also I agree with Bob the builder in the comments, we need a monument to celebrate such a great looking city and 100th episode.
This is by far my favorite series in the whole YT! I never miss an episode and it's so amazing to see how much the city has grown since the beginning, and not just the city, the way you narrate the story and the context of every new detail added and the quality of your videos has also improved a lot. Now I think I follow this series not just for the build, but also for the story behind. Great content, mate! Keep it going, and congratulations for the huge milestone.
I’ve learned so much stuff over all these episodes and even though I’m aware that the series must eventually come to a closure it makes me sad to think about that. You’re doing an absolutely amazing job entertaining us. Thank you so much for that.
Its truly amazing and mind-blowing to see the progression of the city summarized. You have done really well with this city! I look forward to seeing the continued development of Palma Del Fuego as well as the push from certain communities to push for the development of pedestria-oriented neighborhoods in order to preserve the environmentalism that has been a core value of the city.
I’m 7:25 into this video and I’ve already reached what I’ve seen in the videos prior. I’m so excited to catch up with this series and this is a good show of how far I have to go! Thanks, man!
The city doesn't impress me, nor does the layout -- what impresses me is the sheer depth of the story you have created! This is phenomenal! Keep it up dude.
I tip my hat to you sir! This video should go down in history as the best showcase of this amazing game. Haveing a unique video on youtube is extremely hard and rare, this video is one! Also 2 years ago i stumbled on your channel as teh first verde beach video came out, and ive been hooked on to this game ever since. Truely amazing work!!!!
How many fires did you see in the video? Drop a comment and let me know!
ALSO... a FULLY working version of the Verde Beach save can be found here - steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2859363112 . That pesky parking lot issue is finally resolved after I replaced all of my local assets with the steam workshop version.
Thank you all so much for being here with me during the build! The support means more to me than I could ever adequately express with words... you guys are the best!
Definitely more than 1
I’m exited to play the map
100 episodes. When did that happen. In fact who are you, never heard of you in my life? You sound like some crazy bloke who has a slight( huge) obsession with landscaping if you ask me!
Don't wanna be rude but if you're gonna be this fixated on building up imaginary cities you should just get a job in that kinda field and actually do something that has a real world impact. Something like a planner for cities or whatever they call those people. Don't ask me I'm not really into that sorta thing.
Here's to another 100 eh. That's 100 episodes. Obviously the fires ( which have nothing to do with all those tree's & bushes of course) will number in the 55-65,000
Did anyone think of the children concerning these fires lol? As this map seems prone to fires, I was just wondering do you have your smoke detector policy on? When that policy is on, just as the people seem to pull cars in and out of their pockets, they seem to fill the forests with smoke detectors to help prevent forest fires.

somewhere between 30 and 50 fires, altho some where maybe double counted cause they apeared in 2 shots, and some where not counted cause it whas 2 in 1 shot and they where counted as 1 (i also counted some of the fire remenents that where learly visible at some points and the black areas in the build timelaps)
if you also count all the fires in myrtles revenge its somewhere between 60 and 80
Jeez...I remember when this city started. That feels like only yesterday. Over the course of the series, every episode got better, and so did your ability as a creator. Keep up the good work, we can't wait for more Verde Beach!
Thank you so much! Yeah - it feels like yesterday for me, too! Enjoying it more now than ever before!!
@@CityPlannerPlays You're welcome!
How werid
I like how you narrated this video, it makes it seem like a real city, with notable people like Maggie, making it sound like the inhabitants were actual real people, it’s amazing how someone can be so creative and make history within a game😄

Been with Verde Beach since the first breaking of ground. There's a park in the city named after my dad, and a few streets and other facilities named after some of my suggestions. Verde Beach is my city and I'm so grateful for you and everyone watching for making this city what it is today. Thanks for being here, Phil. Verde for life.
I dont know if this is possible but we should have a 100th Episode Memorial in this city
Yes! maybe a new memorial for the founders, perhaps a new founders park redo.
Maybe something like the Statue of Liberty. The first you see when you arrive at the City. A memorial and a tourist attraction on an artifical island or built on the highest point of the city looking over it.
And create a park celebrating it using the new pack
Brilliant idea!
Since it's 200 years it could be a bicentennial memorial for the city too
I'd love to see Verde Beach around for another 100 and another 100 episodes!
Creating, fixing, improving, and creating, on and on. Just like real life. Grateful that I can witness the history and the “becoming well and full” (couldn't find the right word) of this living city.
I do wish that, but there are build limits in city skylines. Doesn’t matter if you have space.
Thank you so much for the support and kind words! You've hit it right on the head and that's one of the reasons I don't want to stop now - Verde Beach is exactly where a planner would jump in and be expected to iterate on the city! Cities are constantly changing, evolving, and improving. Nothing is ever "done"!

I’ve watched every episode of Verde Beach from the very beginning. I get excited every Tuesday and my kids laugh at me every time!
LOVED the throwback intro! Still remember getting hyped to hear it during the Bluffside Crossing days!
This series singlehandedly reenergized my love for this game and taught me new ways to think about building my cities. I cannot thank you enough for your work, Phil!
Thank you!!!
It’s crazy to see how far this city has come. I can’t wait to see where it will go. Keep up the great work and I’m happy to be a subscriber.
This video really shows why I love watching your video. You tell a story with your build. Other creators may build nice cities but no one can match the level of story telling and analysis that you provide. Congrats on 100 episodes!
Huge congrats, Phil! Verde Beach and this channel in general have come such a long way. From Bluffside Crossing to Clearwater County, it’s been such a treat to see how your content has evolved. All the best, and here’s to more!
Thank you so much!!!
I feel emotional. Watching Verde Beach grow into the this magnificent city is exhilarating. Please keep this series going for 100 episodes more.
Such an amazing series, this was the first and so far the only vanilla series that actually had me waiting for the next episode. History was made on that one day in december, almost 2 years ago!
About this video, I can see why this took 'some' time, haha. I love this recap and the way you tell the history of VB as a story. Great job Phil, way more to come!
Will!! Thank YOU for all the encouragement, kind words, and friendship. I don't think you realize what a help you've been along the way!
@@CityPlannerPlays I am just a small part of the amazing community you built up :) But thank you!
Thank you for the past 20 months of VB content, it's amazing to think how it has progressed since episode 1.
As well as the city, it has also been great to see how far you've progressed as a content creator, the way you include the audience in this process & the confidence you have gained in your presentation. Thank you for this & I am looking forward to the next 100 episodes!
It has been a really big journey with you, and you completely turned around my vision of vanilla C:S! At first I thought it was very boring but after watching some of you VB episodes I got really interested in your channel (I actually started from the 50th episode where you built and detailed the Sterling estate which was collosal!) and your videos are always relaxing and eagerly anticipated ❤️❤️
Thank you so much, Nekto!!
Kinda wild how someone elses city can make you emotional. Really love this channel and everything you create. Can't wait to see the future of it all.
Omg Carlton dancing nearly in time with the music is an AMAZING cherry on top 😂😂
Thank you for this series Phil. I’ve been watching every morning when I have my breakfast ever since the beginning. So glad I stumbled upon this lovely community. Looking forward to watching whatever you do next.
I've been a subscriber of this channel before Verde Beach Series started and I've watched and enjoyed every single one of them. Keep up the Great work.
Thank you so much for the support!!!
Verde Beach is my mind palace, where I go to flee all my real world worries. From the bottom of my heart, Phil, thank you for keeping this going...
I’ve fallen in and out of the series, I used to watch since episode 1 and watched every new episode until like episode 20 or so. And then kept going back every 15 episodes and watching one or two episodes to keep track off whats happening. I love this series and this city; and this episode really helped me recap off everything, thank you for an amazing two years and I hope it goes on longer!!
Verde Beach changed this game for me. I've watched the whole series twice, up to the last few episodes. Verde Beach taught me why things are done the way they're done. It taught me that perfect doesn't have to be the enemy of good, so I could enjoy vanilla for what it was. It opened up so much for me even in real life. I feel like I understand the workings of the world at a different level now.
Phill, you've created something magical here. I'm so glad to have been around for all of it. You've enriched all our lives with your knowledge, entertained us with your playstyle, and your friendly voice has soothed our hearts and relaxed our minds.
❤ thank you
Verde Beach is the ultimate city build, and for me is the best of all your bulids. I absolutely love both the city planning itself and the storytelling you incorporate in it, ever since episode 1 with all that crazy dirt roads. Even though sometimes you struggle with the vanilla restrictions, this city come up amazing and very relatable for me personally
Can't believe it's been two years already, so many things have changed in my life since the series started. You've been always kinda there for me when I'd feel down so thank you very much and keep being you!
Happy that I could be there and I appreciate you being here for me, too! Thank you for the support!
I remember when episode 18 came and I broke at that time my elbow and it is a nostalgic feeling to look back at the episode when I first seen it lying in bed and watching the episode. Thanks for this great series.
Congrats on such a huge milestone! Verde Beach has definitely come a long way since episode 1, and it’s great to see how far VB has truly come! 🎊Congrats on episode 100! 🎊Definitely took a lot of hard work.
I still vivdly remember the day I discovered your youtube channel. It was around the middle of your Bluffside Crossing series, when the channel was still called "A city planner plays city builders". A few months later you launched the Verde Beach series and, my god, that was something. No Cities Skylines vanilla series looked as epic, as ambitious as this one. And you delivered on that promise episode after episode. The result is one of, if not the, most beautiful cities ever created in vanilla! You're a gem of an educator. I actually learned about Cities Skylines by watching this series. You put so much knowledge in each episode, whether it's about game mechanics or real city planning cases from your experience in Wisconsin. Finally, no content creator can create stories as compelling in Cities Skylines as you do, and I mean that, and I've seen almost each content creator. No one comes close. Those 5179 minutes of Verde Beach or more than 3 and a half day are some of the best ones I've ever spent :)
PS: too much fire XD
Feels like only yesterday I settled in to watch Phil start a new build! Crazy to think it was 2 years ago. 86 hours of content.
Great achievement Phil! Here's to the next 200 years of Verde Beach!
Hey City Planner Plays. I've been watching your channel for about 2 years now and you are one of the things that inspired me to pursue urban planning. Tomorrow is my first day going into university to study planning. I just wanted to thank you for being such a good inspiration
That's awesome!!! Good luck and I hope you enjoy it! School was so fun!
VB is the reason i started watching city skylines content, and now i can't get enough of it. thank you Phill for this amazing series.
I discovered youre channel after i watched biffa's video about traffic fixes and i watched you build myrtle park in episode 21 and i didnt even realise we are in episode 100 already. Keep it going phil you are a very good story teller and entertain us all thank you phil!
Wow it hardly feels like 2 years since starting this series. It’s been so cool to see verde beach grow into what it is today. And it provided me with lots of inspiration for my own cities in the game. And I love that it’s basically a vanilla city. I think that makes it even more special
Hi! I had played for 335 hundred hours, and I have only played with the videos, first Tutoria and now I am with Verde Beach... mine is called Purple Valley, as I love purple.
Thanks Phil for all the time you spend to guide us
Bless you CPP. its been a wild ride and i've enjoyed it in its entirety. From the relaxation that comes from watching methodically lay out your roads to the awkward laugh when you pan across another fire XD. All great entertainment while giving pause to the thought processes behind what goes into an effective development strategy. So glad to be on the journey with you, i've enjoyed it a ton and learnt a lot. Eminent domain is a phrase that will stay with me forever.
Thank YOU for 100 episodes of VB, CPP! Been here the whole time and I can't believe it!! Getting to watch your videos and chill with you during livestreams are a highlight of my week. I appreciate you and I look forward to the future of VB. Take care and stay awesome, my friend!
I started watching you when i was working the night shift, now back on the day shift, and it has been a blast. Even though I cant bring you to work with me and watch you build when the patients are good and sleeping i still make sure to catch every episode.
You're a fantastic content creator and your experience in the field bring such a great flare to the videos. It got me interested in city planning and i can't avoid looking at things in my day to day and think "I wonder how this was planned" or "This is strange i wonder what the history behind this part of town with its unique feel is" and I never really paid that much attention before. The city was just the city and i never thought about its history and the thoughts behind its layout.
So thank you so much for that and the amazing content.
Cheers! / Rose from Sweden.
Holy cow, I can't believe it's been over 5000 hours of Verde Beach. I watched both this series and Clearwater County from the beginning then fell off for a while and caught back up on VB in the last couple months. This week I started back on CC and the difference in your build styles between the series really struck me. In VB, you'll spend a couple episodes developing a very thoughtful neighborhood and have a real addition to the city at the end. In CC, you're spending a whole episode with a couple hotels or a target and really dialing in all the details on a very limited space because the tools are there with all the mods. My personal style is more toward Verde Beach but I really like seeing what you're able to accomplish the the right mod set.
I came across your channel via CWC and but even then I never imagined a vanilla series could make me so addicted. I love the work you've done so far and this episode is really something else! When you went through all the phases of development it shows how much thought and work was put into creating this humongous project. I also loved the little time lapse showing how the city grew organically!
Bruh, every time I watch your videos, I am so inspired to build a new city with a fully realized purpose and narrative. This brings a whole new insight and perspective to how one should think of a city's roots and current story.
I am happy to be among the many of your fans who have enjoyed all 109 of your first 100 Verde Beach episodes. I look forward to the next 100.
This is so wonderful! As someone who's been watching VB from day one, and has watched all 5000+ minutes of it, I'm so glad it's still going on and has gone 100 episodes and hopefully it'll go 100 more 💝
Thank you! And I'm enjoying watching your progress as a creator, too! Awesome growth and I look forward to seeing where you go! The sky is the limit, Diana!!
@@CityPlannerPlays oh wow thats so kind of you to say and it means a lot as your channel was one of the first CS channels i really got into and I still look forward to new videos each week
The story line in this series is very intense. I really love how it’s all come together with a story, it makes it much more interesting to watch you build.
86 Hours of my 1000 hours of Cities have been spent being inspired by your road layouts. The main thing I learned from your videos is how much more fun this game is when you tell a story. And big thanks to your family for letting you have fun!
Wow 100 episodes and counting! Amazing video and can’t wait for more!
I'm proud to say I've followed this build since the beginning. It's been amazing watching you grow as a content creator, Phil, and the city develop over it's many, many decades. Congrats on 100 episodes everyone! Here's to another 100!
just started watching it and i have to say it, i missed that old intro! such a great one.
i remember watching the first ever VB video, watched all the videos too. What a journey. Thank you for the joy you brought Phil
I binged this series when I was sick in March and have not missed an episode since. There are only a few things that truly bring me comfort and somehow Verde beach is one of them. thank you for your hard work, let's keep this series going for a long time
I've been around since Bluffside Crossing and this series is like a warm cup of hot chocolate on a chill winter morning.
Sometime last year, I opened one of the Verde Beach saves on my PC, after about 20 minutes checking out the city, the power supply popped and the PC was out of action until I replaced it. I gained another level of respect for the city that day, I was just lucky I didn't get a traditional Verde Beach fire!
Phil, you're the first CS channels that I discovered and since that time I got stuck into your way of doing things.
Since bluffside, I'm in a process of learning things from you and honestly couldn't be better! You're the best!
I found your channel two years ago when I was going through some rough times. Your videos provided escapism and helped me make it through the week.
What I honestly love about your videos, is your attention to details. It also really encourages me to see that even you are often not satisfied with the final result of your planning, or the technical outcome and workability, so that you often break down something and start from scratch. Sometimes I think I'm too stupid to build a beautiful, working city, but your videos tought me that it's okay to make mistakes and reconsider something. Thank you so verry much for your great content 🙏
My God, this episode is definitely my favorite. Seeing Verde Beach growing from the start is like raising my own child. Not even a little feeling of disappointment comes from spending my time watching every single episode of this city (I even watched several episodes more then once). Hope this city could grow more and long live to 200 episodes or even more. I love the time lapse of the growing maps a lot. Good job Phil. Hope you enjoy doing these and be healthy
It’s been really awesome watching you for the last two years. Your ability to problem solve and take the community (residents) of VB into account is second to none. It’s amazing how you’ve done it with so much grace. I’m sure you’re also an amazing city planner because you’ve got the perfect skillset for it.
Followed you from day 1. You were my only friend when covid lockdown hit my country Malaysia. Truly amazing to have been given this opportunity to walk with you. Keep it up!
I wasn't here from the start, but I instantaneously binged the building of the city once I discovered it after watching a Clearwater video. this city now means everything and can't wait to see where it ends. when the fires started I laughed and cried at the same time as I watched the city burn down.
phil, i did not expect to get emotional watching this, but watching verde beach's growth - and your growth along with it as a creator, planner, and builder - was stunning and a sight to behold. i've been a fan and subscriber since bluffside crossing, and seeing every part of your second oldest series come to light in a single episode was really just... a journey. thank you so much for blessing youtube with not just content, but genuinely educational, well-intentioned, and well-constructed, reality-based information and wisdom. i have no doubt in my mind that you've inspired populations of people to not only re-evaluate the way they think of cities: skylines, but the way they think of cities and urban and regional planning in general. keep up the amazing work! ❤
This has got to be one of the best made, entertaining videos I've ever watched on youtube. Kudos to you City Planner - it's impressive to see how much time and thought has gone into this and to have watched this series from (nearly) the beginning it's great to see it all together in this video. Love the vids, keep up the good work!
Hey CPP, long time fan, first time commenter-this is the MOST comprehensive overview, I'm a Teacher of the Deaf by trade (language/access to language is my focus) and a student of architecture & city-planning by passion and I must say, this video is phenomenal! I've been playing C:S since its debut and I know the time you've spent on building this city and your commentary is remarkable-applause and props! Thank you!
As a former resident of Bluffside Crossing, I'm so happy to have moved to Verde Beach not long after it's founding. Yes, my house has burned down numerous times. That's life in Verde Beach. You just have to be prepared for 🔥. I've enjoyed many visits to the Hamilton Experience (still my favorite place to go).
You've made an amazing city with an incredible back story. That's what makes it so fun to watch the episodes. Keep up the amazing work.
Long live Verde Beach! 🔥
I purchased a Verde Beach hoodie today to celebrate the 100th episode. After all, I’ve spent over 3 days there. 😊 Thanks for all the great C:S content Phil and congratulations on 100 episodes of Verde Beach! 🎉
Verde Beach is what finally got me into Cities Skylines and I've sunk many hours into watching you and Biffa (who I rediscovered from his Hermitcraft days) and playing the game, incorporating everything I've learned from watching so many hours of Verde Beach and Clearwater County. Thanks for all of the content you provide
The first episode I saw was the Lewis Garden City one, and I haven't missed one since. It's incredible what you have built, even more so only using vanilla and no mods!
You've inspired me and countless others to learn more about cities skylines and city planning in general. I'm here for however many episodes there ever will be. Thanks Phil!
Verde Beach is one of the best Vanilla City. Love the history and the story behind the built. I never miss any of the episodes. When I have the mean to play City Skylines, Verde Beach will be my benchmark.
It keeps getting better and better!
Your editing on this is :chef's kiss:! May the Verde Beach _fires_ go out while the Verde Beach _flame_ keeps burning! 😉
Thanks for taking the time to put this episode together. And you did a great job! 3.5 great days... and more to come.
This was so crazy to watch to see how much has changed since E1🤯It's been absolutely awesome to witness all the planning, hard work, and mulligans (lol) it took to make this amazing city and channel what it is now! Can't wait to continue this story and see how much the city changes further down the road 🎉
OUTSTANDING effort I have watch 90% of the build. Scary to think how much time has passed watching this city grow.
This and Clearwater County have been my go to video series for putting on in the background while I work.
I can't wait to see how you incorporate the upcoming Plazas DLC into the build.
Being following this city since episode 1, two years ago, this feels like a real place with a real history. Thank you so much for all the good moments and lessons throughout the course of your channel, and this series. Wish you the best!
I'm not crying, you are! Huge congratulations City Planner.
Episode 1 feels like it went up just weeks ago, 100 episodes, jeez. This series got me to try again with the game. I had learned how to get through the unmodded game by doing a battery start, and blocky temporary stages to stay ahead of unlocking the various way points, before finally just redoing everything once I had all the money and tools. It was unsatisfying. Verde Beach series taught me that you can have the challenge of the unmodded game, but also build a story a history and a real feeling city from turn one. And now it's one of my favorite games of all time. What a journey.
Waooo ! I spent 3.5 days of my life watching this city growing... and you spent so much time making it so thank you :)
Binged the whole series just in time to enjoy this recap. Now it's time to binge Clearwater County! Thanks for the many hours of entertainment!
i can't believe stirling estates is now the halfway point in verde beach's history. could've sworn i watched that video maybe a month ago ??? honestly this whole thing is such a tremendous achievement and i'm so impressed by the care and thought that goes into this series
I appreciate this condensed version! I hadn’t watched any of these videos but this felt like the perfect amount of time I wanted to spend on watching and the storytelling was great!
I can't belive it has passed so much time, I thought we would not make it trough the pandemic, and here we are. Thank you so much for inspiring and most of all for being with me trough the enclossure and infection and being well again. Congratulations on your channel
After not playing the game for two years, I started a new city this week. Your Verde Beach series is what convinced me to buy the game! 🙂
I started watching this channel at VB episode 3 (binging all three episodes in one weekend). Its wild to think that it’s been 2 years and 97 episodes since then! Love this channel and this city, especially how organically it evolves. Whenever you zoom out at the end of an episode I’m struck by how beautifully realistic the city is shaped, as it’s distinct neighborhoods and towns have merged together to form a bigger metropolis.
I love how even the intro had fires. It is just not a City Planner Plays episode without a delightful series of soul crushing fires.
I just love the realism applied with the storyline here. I’ve somewhat started playing somewhat in the same way, except without the storyline and much more like how a city would naturally grow. Keep it up!
It's crazy to think that I have watched every single episode of Verde Beach. Keep up the good work.
So 99 episodes ago, you knew where you were going to end up and planned out this massive narrative from day 0? I love it (fitting a narrative to the future and bending time to confirm to your needs. Life should be one wonderful script)!
It's crazy to think I stumbled upon your channel near the beginning of Verde Beach and it only seems like yesterday. Your ability to create interesting and engaging content over that time has kept me hooked on this series! Thank you for continuing to work on it and I'm excited to see what becomes of Verde Beach in the future!
This series specifically inspired my love for the game, and gave me the motivation and confidence to try my own hand at creating content. I look forward to following along with all of your series, because I greatly enjoy them.
Thank you for all the work and love you put into this.
ok I just love that this city has a rich history, of planning, current development and future growth, all explained stage by stage as the city literally grows up before our very eyes, thank you City Planner Plays, also I agree with Bob the builder in the comments, we need a monument to celebrate such a great looking city and 100th episode.
This is by far my favorite series in the whole YT! I never miss an episode and it's so amazing to see how much the city has grown since the beginning, and not just the city, the way you narrate the story and the context of every new detail added and the quality of your videos has also improved a lot. Now I think I follow this series not just for the build, but also for the story behind. Great content, mate! Keep it going, and congratulations for the huge milestone.
I’m glad to see this series sticking around for a while longer yet. I am excited for whatever build you chose to do next tho.
I’ve learned so much stuff over all these episodes and even though I’m aware that the series must eventually come to a closure it makes me sad to think about that.
You’re doing an absolutely amazing job entertaining us. Thank you so much for that.
The Verde, the Verde , the Verde Beach is on fire !!!!
Very good summation video...can't wait for the next 100 videos...
90 hours of Verde Beach! Go Phil! I’ve certainly enjoyed every minute of this content. You’ve built quite the community, what an accomplishment.
Its truly amazing and mind-blowing to see the progression of the city summarized. You have done really well with this city!
I look forward to seeing the continued development of Palma Del Fuego as well as the push from certain communities to push for the development of pedestria-oriented neighborhoods in order to preserve the environmentalism that has been a core value of the city.
I’m 7:25 into this video and I’ve already reached what I’ve seen in the videos prior. I’m so excited to catch up with this series and this is a good show of how far I have to go!
Thanks, man!
The city doesn't impress me, nor does the layout -- what impresses me is the sheer depth of the story you have created! This is phenomenal! Keep it up dude.
I tip my hat to you sir!
This video should go down in history as the best showcase of this amazing game.
Haveing a unique video on youtube is extremely hard and rare, this video is one!
Also 2 years ago i stumbled on your channel as teh first verde beach video came out, and ive been hooked on to this game ever since.
Truely amazing work!!!!
