This image can then be imported to Cities: Skylines Map Editor, and with some touch-ups, poof! a playable map!įirst natural instinct is to try make a map based on Kuala Lumpur. There’s a tool called terrain.party that can take a 10x10km square of any place in the world to be converted into a height map image.
Through reading on various tutorials, including this one in particular, I found out why there’s plenty of maps based on real places. Maps inspired by real-life locations seemed to be popular, and seeing how there was not many of them are for Malaysia, I tried to create one. Yet Cities: Skylines also allows simpler content, like maps and buildings designed using in-game assets to be published as well. Steam Workshop is displayed front and center in the main menu, encouraging players to try it out. Maxis as a development studio also closed its doors too as a result. The game did not do well enough, as fans outraged and disappointed with what the game offers. Only in 2013 SimCity reappeared as a reboot, but made plenty of odd game design choices, such as the always-online requirement (yet not always-working, and later to be patched in offline support), less room for creative expression on designing the cities, and no mod support. SimCity grew in popularity over time, but the series was seemingly left untouched as developer Maxis had a new-found success in the human-simulator/doll house/god game The Sims. An odd title for its time, SimCity pushed the notion that video games can be more than just having fun, and can be a bit educational too. City builders, as a genre, is interesting.īorn from the release of SimCity, where creator Will Wright found that building the cities for maps of a helicopter shooter game he was designing to be fun.
