skylines news 7 your weekly update on everything city skylines in 30 minutes

or less today we'll share what's going on around

the nation talk about the impact industries DLC is

having on the Steam Workshop but first our top story of the week this past

Saturday on October 27 the first of hopefully many City skylines global

build offs took place as thousands watched via the internet on mixer

YouTube and twitch with the city skylines community giving the event a

resounding two thumbs up for those of you just tuning in the cities skylines

global build off was an eight hour building competition that featured two

teams ten builders hailing from seven different countries that were all

building on a tropical themed map which was broadcast live from Paradox

Interactive Studios in Sweden here were the two teams team one / team a featured

youtubers pres $2 20 bsquklehausen crumbs McGee and pug gaming team - team

2 or team B was made up of twitch streamer leader of the Monkees and

youtubers Skibitth Flux TazerHere and Silvarret Strictoaster

was also on

hand to handle the giveaways introduce guests and coordinate from behind the

scenes ensuring everything ran smoothly joining him in Sweden were bsquklehausen

leader of the monkeys and flux were they not only competed but

pull double duty of live hosting as well throughout the day live look-ins on the

competitors building on their maps interviews with Paradox Interactive

staff video shorts about the participants a montage of other notable

city skylines youtubers not in the build off giveaways involving trivia for

the viewing audience and even Twitter screenshots of creations from the

general public tweeted in using the hashtag cities build off now some of you

might be asking wait a minute city skylines doesn't have a multiplayer

and how did they do this well each team built on the same map and each builder

was assigned a specific plot to build on when time was up using the move it mod

each builder copied and sent an export file of their section to the team

captain once the team captain got their file they pasted it onto the map in the

corresponding plots once all five plots were in place the live streaming

audience got to vote on which map build they liked best after all the votes were

tallied the winner was team two / team B personally I watched the entire

eight-hour broadcast and loved every minute of it it was a great way to show

off many of the talented city skylines creators in the community and it brought

thousands of people in the skylines nation together to celebrate watch and

discuss the game we all loved I was also impressed that with no practice or a

dress rehearsal everything ran pretty smooth the hardest one is the first one

and I look forward to seeing this evolve to include more streamers asset creators

and maybe even just plain Jane and plain Jo Twitter users kudos to

strictoaster flux and bsquklehausen for coming up with this idea after working

on the FBX project and seeing it through with paradox interactive support if you

want to build on the map yourself it is available right now on the Steam

Workshop as a savegame the link will be in the
