With <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beach Properties<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> out, it\u2019s time for a mini-series of development diaries covering our process and giving you a peek at the new assets<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In this first installment, we\u2019ll talk about what an asset pack is and how we approached the development of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beach Properties<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> alongside the development of the game, modding support, and bug fixes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asset packs are a new type of official content that opens up the chance to add more building variations to the game and bring you more ways to let your city stand out. Our first pack, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beach Properties<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, has something new for your peaceful low density residential areas and while nothing forces you to zone these buildings near the waves, these assets might be just the touch your waterfront needs.<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beach Properties<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> includes <\/span><b>60 new buildings<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> across two new low density residential zones, one for North America and one for Europe. The zones contain the familiar 5 levels and using various props and decorations, we have managed to sneak in 24 additional variations for each theme. The pack also includes <\/span><b>six glorious Signature Buildings<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> plus a large number of props that will hopefully not only be nice to look at but also very useful when you get your hands on the in-game editor in the not-so-distant future.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e8c39e0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e8c39e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/colossalorder.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1-1-EU-Waterfront2.webp\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"1-1 EU Waterfront2\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MjYwOSwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL2NvbG9zc2Fsb3JkZXIuZmlcL3dwLWNvbnRlbnRcL3VwbG9hZHNcLzIwMjRcLzAzXC8xLTEtRVUtV2F0ZXJmcm9udDIud2VicCJ9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/colossalorder.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1-1-EU-Waterfront2.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-2609\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/colossalorder.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1-1-EU-Waterfront2.webp 1920w, https:\/\/colossalorder.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1-1-EU-Waterfront2-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/colossalorder.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1-1-EU-Waterfront2-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/colossalorder.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1-1-EU-Waterfront2-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/colossalorder.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1-1-EU-Waterfront2-1536x864.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Who doesn\u2019t enjoy a waterfront view?<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-af7add4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"af7add4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the Ultimate Edition for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cities: Skylines II<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> we have announced a few different types of DLCs, so let\u2019s take a moment to talk about the two types we\u2019ll bring you. Both asset packs and expansions present a way for us to bring you new content to enhance your cities, but they do so in different ways. Where expansions have a broad concept and bring you new gameplay mechanics to expand the game as a whole, asset packs take a more narrow focus allowing you to pick and choose exactly what fits your playstyle and cities. This allows our amazing art team to create stunning new buildings for you while our programmers have been working diligently on the performance improvements and bug fixes you have received since the game was released.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cities: Skylines II<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was even announced, we had picked the concept for this pack, though work didn\u2019t properly start on the assets themselves until closer to the release last October. As you may have already spotted from the names of the first DLCs, we have focused our attention on waterfronts and seaside cities. In <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cities: Skylines<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> we weren\u2019t able to do much with the waterfronts, so going into <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cities: Skylines II<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it felt like a natural choice to start expanding the game there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the theme selected, our artists found references and started work on the pack. As it includes a new low density residential zone for each of the two themes, we already knew roughly how many buildings we would need. The next step in the process is what\u2019s called \u201cwhite boxing\u201d where we outline the basic geometric shapes of the buildings, like a 3D draft that allows us to flesh out the scale and make sure it fits within the existing game assets. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c9333e9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c9333e9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/colossalorder.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1-2-Whiteboxes.webp\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"1-2 Whiteboxes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MjYxMCwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL2NvbG9zc2Fsb3JkZXIuZmlcL3dwLWNvbnRlbnRcL3VwbG9hZHNcLzIwMjRcLzAzXC8xLTItV2hpdGVib3hlcy53ZWJwIn0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"755\" src=\"https:\/\/colossalorder.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1-2-Whiteboxes.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-2610\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/colossalorder.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1-2-Whiteboxes.webp 1920w, https:\/\/colossalorder.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1-2-Whiteboxes-300x118.webp 300w, https:\/\/colossalorder.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1-2-Whiteboxes-1024x403.webp 1024w, https:\/\/colossalorder.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1-2-Whiteboxes-768x302.webp 768w, https:\/\/colossalorder.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1-2-Whiteboxes-1536x604.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Work-in-progress models for the European Waterfront Housing<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9296186 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9296186\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From there we started to iterate on the details that are iconic for the architectural styles we were inspired by.
