Release date 24 september:Cities Skylines: After Dark Night time is fun time! After Dark is the first expansion to the hugely popular classic city simulation Cities: Skylines. The game expands on the repertoire of features and customizations designed to enhance the thrill as well as maintain the challenge of the city building experience.
Developed by Colossal Order and published Paradox Interactive, the central feature of the latest expansion is the day and night cycle, which alters the approach to managing your city. Will you construct a bustling city that lives and breathes at night or will your city succumb to the perils and misadventures of night life? You’re only limited by your imagination, so take control. The sky is the limit! Find out what life is like in the city when the sun goes down!
Main features:• Day and Night Cycle: Day and night changes in the city and affects citizen schedules. Traffic is visibly slower at night and some zoned areas do not work with full efficiency, further easing the traffic. Service vehicles move around as usual. A free update for all users.
• Leisure specialization: Commercial areas can specialize in leisure activities. Leisure areas are especially active during the night, but work like regular commercial areas during the day.
• Beach specialization: Commercial areas such as beach bars and restaurants, small marina and fishing tours on the shoreline can specialize in beach activities.
• Expanded City Services: Criminals will now be taken to Prison from Police buildings. Taxi service will help citizens and tourists travel around the city. Cargo hubs are harbors that accept cargo trains straight to the terminal. International airport is a huge airport, allowing much more traffic than the previous airport. It has a metro station attached to it. Bus terminal allows citizens to transfer to other bus lines in the terminal building.
• New transportation options: Bikes and dedicated bike lanes and bike ways let citizens opt for a faster alternative to walking. Bus lanes can be used to help the public transportation run smoother.
Police
Crime logic has been completely redesigned. We noticed at some point that crime rate always stayed very low and it was almost impossible to get it to rise. This was caused by crime sate being linked with citizen happiness. Basically before many citizens were unhappy enough to turn to crime, they moved out of the city or got sick due to low health resulting from the conditions causing the low happiness. This did not seem like a fun feature, as crime did not really create any meaningful choices for players, it just meant placing a few police stations. With the new crime logic it is possible for the crime rate to rise easier and fluctuate more. There are actual crimes happening, which police have to respond to, and capture the criminal. This is where the biggest new change comes in: the criminals need to be transported to Prisons to serve their sentence.
A whole new addition are the Prisons. Police cars can hold a few criminals, but have to return to police stations and HQ's when they become full. Criminals are unloaded into holding cells in the police buildings. As the police in Skylines is never wrong or corrupted, the Prisons send out vans to carry the criminals to immediately start serving their sentences. How handy is that? Sentences are 15 game weeks long, with some getting out a bit earlier due to good conduct, and others staying a little bit longer. If a prison is demolished, the prisoners are released early and might not behave well.
Public transport
Public transport has gotten new buildings with new combinations of functions. Players with many bus lines might have noticed that sometimes allowing citizens to change lines can be tricky when there are many lines stopping close to each other. The stops should be close to have only a short way for the passengers to walk, but far enough so buses can move unhindered and traffic doesn't get blocked by the buses. The solution for this is the brand new Bus Station! The stations has many platforms for buses to stop at. Passengers can change lines inside the buildings so they don't have to cross any streets and won't affect traffic. Simple and easy, and lessens the effect bus line changing areas have on the traffic, allowing for a better flow.
Cargo hub
For cargo, there's a cargo hub. Previously players who wanted to export large quantities of goods often used trains to carry the goods to harbors and let ships take the goods away. This resulted in the roads between the cargo train stations and harbors being VERY busy. The cargo hubs allows trains to arrive straight to the harbor to unload, so there's no need to have the constant truck traffic between the station and the harbor.
Taxi cabs
What is something that all big cities have but Skylines was missing? Taxi cabs! The taxi service is an new service that allows tourists and citizens to order taxis to take them to their destination. Basically taxis work a lot like private cars, but with difference of taxis residing in a depot and using stands to wait for new customers. Taxis especially help tourists to get around the city easier and thus make them stay longer in the city, generating more tax income.
International airport
Last but definitely not the least is the international airport. Fans asked for a larger airport, so here it finally is! Not only is it the largest building in the whole game, it also has a hidden surprise: an integrated metro station. No more long lines of cars or crowds walking to public transportation stops next to the airport, you can offer your citizens an easy way to arrive and depart the airport by connecting the built-in metro station to a metro network.
Never regret anything, beacuse one time it was exaclty what you wanted.
