Greetings everyone. We have a new mini-series of development diaries as we count down to the release of Cities: Skylines II. In this series, we take you behind the scenes of development sharing some of our processes and philosophy behind certain features as well as give you a sneak peek at our plans for the future.

To start with, we’re going to talk about modding in Cities: Skylines II. While modding isn’t supported at release, we want to share what modding means to us and how we approach modding support, so you know what to expect. Modding in Cities: Skylines played an important part in making the game a success, so it was obvious to us that Cities: Skylines II also has to be moddable, and we can't wait to see what the modders come up with this time around!


Our journey with modding started in a somewhat unexpected way with our first game, Cities in Motion. Back then, we hadn’t initially planned extensive modding support, but as the game used our own technology and was very accessible to players, a modding community grew surrounding the game. While not intentional we soon discovered how much modding can add to a game with players customizing their gameplay experience, creating and sharing content with each other.

We carried that lesson forward to Cities in Motion 2, though it wasn’t until Cities: Skylines that we really realized the full potential of supporting modding. As we were developing the game, we had one of our two programmers focus on creating tools to mod the game. When Cities: Skylines was released, we had a map editor, that let you create your own maps to build cities on, and an asset editor to import custom 3D models to the game. These, along with code mods, could then be shared on the Steam Workshop and downloaded by others. Through the years we expanded the capabilities of the asset editor to include more options, and as map themes and scenarios were added to the game, we included editors to make your very own.

Today, the Cities: Skylines Workshop has over 400,000 mods with everything from maps and themes to buildings and code mods changing the rules of the game. We were absolutely blown away by the creativity and dedication of our modding community, and throughout the game’s lifetime, we have continued to improve how we interact with the modders.


The built-in editor and easy sharing through the Steam Workshop brought more modding opportunities to Cities: Skylines than our previous games had.

CITIES SKYLINES II
When we started developing Cities: Skylines II, we knew we wanted the game to support modding as much as its predecessor did. In 2019, as part of our 10-year anniversary celebration, we invited a group of prominent modders to Tampere to help us determine how we can best support their modding efforts. We introduced them to the features Cities: Skylines II would come to include, as well as the level of detail and realism of its art style. We discussed their experiences modding Cities: Skylines and they provided great feedback on how we could support the community in Cities: Skylines II. As an example, our map creators expressed a wish to be able to create taller mountains and deeper valleys, and as you may have seen from our Maps & Themes development diary, this is possible in Cities: Skylines II.

We support modding to celebrate the community and we want everyone to be able to take part in it. This is the reason why we focus on making sure that the modding tools are available on all possible platforms while respecting the limitations that individual platforms may have. To offer the same content for all the players we have chosen Paradox Mods as our portal for sharing your amazing creations across all platforms.


Access the Editor and Paradox Mods directly from the main menu


We have always tried to offer as much support for the modders as possible and the modding beta was created for Cities: Skylines as a part of our efforts. The purpose of this was to ensure the modders could prepare updates for mods that might break with game updates. Having the opportunity to access the upcoming builds prior to release provided them time to familiarize themselves with the changes and work on and test updates to their mods.

As the Cities: Skylines Modding community grew, this group was expanded to include asset creators and its purpose expanded to provide direct feedback on the modding tools. The beta gave us the opportunity to get feedback on the road editor before it was released to the public and have direct conversations with our modders about what improvements to the game’s API would be useful to them.

As the updates for Cities: Skylines have ended the modding beta shifted more towards testing and providing feedback on the modding tools in Cities: Skylines II. Currently, the modding beta is testing the Cities: Skylines II Editor, which we'll dig into in the next development diary.

Greetings Swordsmen!

A little over a month has passed since we launched Wandering Sword. It has been a thrilling and enlightening adventure, with your invaluable feedback and insightful suggestions shaping the way. Being the first game from our studio, the learning curve has been steep yet incredibly fulfilling, especially when we see the enthusiasm from each of you. Though the game has officially launched, this is just the beginning for us. Your encouragement are like the winds beneath our wings, inspiring us towards ongoing improvements and new enhancements.

And today, we're thrilled to give you a sneak peek into what's in store for the upcoming update!


(Note: We're still in the process of fine-tuning, so the final version may differ)

Remember the snippet of the in-game world map we shared a few weeks ago? We are excited to present a more polished version that's ready to be integrated into the game! Those with astute eyes would have noticed a red icon on the map - an indicator that makes it easier for you to identify your current location. We're in the final stages of testing this right now, so get ready to explore the world of Wandering Sword with confidence and convenience like never before!


For those who find solace in the symphonies of Wandering Sword, this is for you. The Wandering Sword original soundtrack is releasing together with this upcoming update! Immerse yourself in over 40 minutes of your favorite Wuxia tunes across 30 fantastic tracks. What's more, there will be a special bundle deal of the game and soundtrack, giving you a 5% discount when purchased together!

In addition to these updates, we are steadfast in our commitment to enhancing your Wuxia experience through more feature optimizations and bug fixes. We are deeply grateful for your understanding and unwavering support as we continue to work on it.

But hold tight, because there's more on the horizon! Looking ahead into the future, we have charted out a roadmap, which includes storyline expansions, new adventures and DLCs. We are in the midst of planning these exciting additions, but rest assured that we will share it with all of you once we have firmed up the details. We hope you're excited about what's coming, because we sure are!

Lastly, if Wandering Sword has left a lasting impression on you, we'd be grateful if you took a moment to review our game on Steam. Spreading the word by sharing it on your socials or recommending it to a friend who might enjoy it would mean a lot to us. Your positive feedback is a tremendous encouragement and motivates us to continually improve. Thank you for your support!

Hi friends,

we don't stop, as there's still a lot to do. Welcome to the latest Beta release, available now!

For those who aren't familiar with our Beta procedure, please read the following explanations. For everyone else, feel free to jump to "What's new?".

We started rolling out BETA versions of our game first, followed by the regular update 1-2 weeks later. If you're interested in participating as a beta user, simply head over to your Steam library, click the cog wheel, select "Properties" > "Betas" and choose "public-beta" from the drop-down menu.
If you prefer to wait for the regular update, there's no need to do anything but sit tight, as it will be coming soon.

PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT post HottieCars made with the Beta version to our Discord due to possible incompatibilities. Thanks!

What’s new?

Something many of you have asked for: you can now decide which parts of the voice acting you want to hear. Whether it's the full dialogue, moaning-only, or complete silence for Hottie.

Most of the hairstyles are now available for male Hotties as well. The improved eye model is also available for both male and female Hotties alike.
You can now switch to a new, alternative Eye Model with separated Iris and Sclera and improved Lighting (Main Menu > Hottie > Eye Color).

This isn't a massive change, but it will impact many users: we've corrected numerous skin issues around the lips to better fit the Hotties. This may result in existing HottieCards looking different, usually for the better!

We took out the Physics Update Slider due to frequent misuse ;)
If you still want to experiment with this feature, simply activate „Sync Physics w/ Frame Rate“ in the Menu. This might have an impact on your Performance, but both Cloth and Hair Simulation will appear smoother.

We've also managed to fix more bugs than usual, ranging from lips to makeup, shadows to animations, ensuring your overall experience will be much smoother than before.

Of course, there's even more to explore; make sure to check out the full list of updates below!

Take care
