Tidigare i år fick vi en ny kung på stadsbyggartronen då #Cities: Skylines brottade ner #Simcity och gjorde anspråk på kronan. Full betygspott blev det när vi recenserade spelet, och därefter blev det många nyheter om alla roliga och intressanta moddar som släpptes. Nu har vi kommit fram till den första riktiga expansionen.

After Dark heter materialet som inför en dag-natt-cykel och därmed en del spelmässiga förändringar. Bland annat kommer vissa affärsdistrikt kunna specialisera sig på "leisure", som innebär att de har öppet på natten. När mörkret faller blir det också mindre trafik i städerna. Några features, saxade från officiella sajten:

  • 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.

After Dark släpps till Windows, Mac och Linux senare i år.
