Hello Reddit!

We are Iceflake Studios, the new development team of Cities: Skylines II from Tampere, Finland.

Now that we’re nearly six months into development, we thought it would be a great time to connect with you and answer any questions you might have!

Since this is our first time hosting an AMA, let's give a proper introduction to all of the people joining from Iceflake today:

u/ifs_Blu - Community Manager - Also known as Sini, I am the one writing the City Corners and doing streams with Zoë aka Toadie. I'm also an active lurker here on Reddit, forums and other socials. However, my coding skills are basically limited to for -loops, so if you have any tech-related questions, talk to Timo!

u/ifs_Timo - Lead Programmer - Our king of programming! Timo makes sure that everything works as intended and runs as well as possible. He has the most experience working with Cities, and has the best understanding of what can be done in what amount of time. His main goal for the future is to make the simulation and performance as good as possible.

u/ifs_Jesse - Game Designer - As a game designer, Jesse is helping with, and planning the different design choices that we have in Cities: Skylines II. He is very creative, and has a lot of ideas on how to make the design feel and look better. During his freetime, he is building a signature building

u/ifs_Grizzly - Producer - Also known as Jarkko, he is the one keeping our team on track, and making sure that everything is going according to the plan on the production side of things.

u/ifs_katti - QA - Representing our QA people we have Kimmo, who lives for finding and testing the bugs, and reporting them to our programmers.

Now that the introductions are done, over to you for questions! We'll be here from 16:00 - 18:00 Finland time on Friday the 8th of May!

Thank you for all the kind and supportive comments, as well as the awesome questions! u/ifs_katti and u/ifs_timo will be here for a short while to answer some of your questions, and the rest of us will be back on monday to keep answering other questions as well! See you next time!

We didn't get to answer all of them but we appreciate them all and will look into creating some kind of FAQ from this. Have a wonderful rest of your day and a great release day tomorrow. ^^

Hi everyone, Paradox/Colossal Order put me on the youtube so you can now all see what I look like. I'm not actually 60 years old or a SEPTA token as it turns out...

• my series, Franklin

• my other series, Power Politics and Planning

• my assets, about half of which are broken

• urban planning/architecture/policy

• how Matias from Paradox wound up on BBC International when he came around to film the episode

• philadelphia

• unions

• trains

• socialism/anarchism/leftism

• my allergies, which are currently semi-debilitating

• or whatever!

do not ask me about

• workers & resources: soviet republic

Hi /r/CitiesSkylines ! I'm Jay, aka bsquiklehausen, and I'm here for an AMA!

If you haven't seen it, be sure to check out the amazing City Builders video about me, on the Cities Skylines Official YouTube Channel!

I'm most known for my own YouTube channel, where I have worked on the slowest burn series of all time, Gramercy, as well as in collaborations with the mighty Strictoaster and Fluxtrance on the FBS Airport Project!

I've been playing the game since launch, and been making and sharing my own assets since the summer of 2015, focusing on trains, planes, and now custom networks, and some buildings as well.

AMA about anything I do!

EDIT: Going to see a movie! I'll be back afterwards and answering questions until the end of the day.

EDIT 2: I'm back! Ask away!

Hey, you might know me from the Workshop or from the latest Cities Skylines Creator spotlight film.

Come ask me stuff! Anything related to asset creation, playing Cities Skylines, my favourite food or whatever else you can come up with.

Hello /r/CitiesSkylines I’m Samantha or perhaps better known as Avanya. I started playing shortly after the game released and learned 3D modelling later the same year just to make assets. I mostly make industrial assets, but my workshop also contains decorative assets and service buildings. In 2017 I made the CCP European Suburbia and now I’m featured in the latest City Builders series!

I’m here to answer your questions, so go ahead and ask me anything!

I'm here to answer any questions you have. Requests are welcome too. New ideas are helpful.

Hello, /r/CitiesSkylines ! I'm Armesto and I'm here for an AMA!

If you haven't seen it, be sure to check out the amazing City Builders video about me, on the Cities Skylines Official YouTube Channel!

You might know me from my Lucus style assets, ancient landmarks of the world and mostly anything that involves stone. I got this game since launch day, and I started making assets in 2016, mostly houses and monuments.

Ask me whatever you want about all this!
