I reckon Mick Dees would be a good burger chain. Imagine it originated in Dundee, and is a good take on McDonald's (McD's) and obviously Mick Dundee...
Fun fact: That really round building is from Hong Kong near the dock area has a tiny pool on the top because there were concerns that it looked too much like a cigarette. This would interrupt something called “feng shui” which is kind of like positioning things around you to get good luck and so in order to put out the “fire” or bad luck they put a tiny pool on the top.
The city is really coming along nicely! Since this is an Australian/NZ series it might be for fitting to call the centre a CBD rather than downtown. It would help add to the local character
The church you were talking about is the cathedral in Cologne, Germany. It’s actually the 3rd highest church in the world and the most visited sight in all of Germany.
It would be really cool if an old commuter-rail would connect Dundee with the small farm town in the outscirts of Dundee and an historic train could provite the service. Amazing episode today!
If the city's named Dundee, maybe one of the local brands of is "Done Deal". Or take a spin on that phrase: Dunn Deal, Dun Decal, Dun Decaf, Raw Deal, etc. Perhaps the phrase arose early in the city's history: the press headline for a shady land deal which couldn't be undone, which left its mark on many things, and which still lives on in family wealth, active social resentments, and other legends. It could've inspired other things than retail brands: sports team names or mascots (the Dundee Swindlers), district nicknames, festivals, etc.
Don’t forget Cricket pitches and suburban footy fields. If Hipsterville is inspired by Newtown, Ashfield, Balmain, etc, something like Leichardt Oval would be really cool.
you have too many roads. probably it's a traffic requirement, but i manage to keep my cities simples and minimals. i use traffic manager to reserve each path to certain type of car, to avoid traffic issues. and keep the city air a minimum clean.
Name the snobby rich neighbourhood Chelmer. It’s a real suburb in Brisbane and it is filled to the brim with million dollar mansions, and renovated big Queenslanders. And call the hipster neighbourhood Dunwich. It’s one of the most dangerous suburbs in Brisbane.
Abbotsford would be a cool name for the artsy district or hipsterville. It's already a city in Australia full of converted factories, hip cafés and artists studios.
I think in the hipster neighbourhood he should put a bar with converted train carriages on the roof overlooking the city, like Easey's in Collingwood! www.pokerdeluxe.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Easeys-Burger-Bar-Collingwood-1.jpg
Dude I can tell your really enjoying doing this series so much passion and knowledge when talking about city’s and city’s history with infrastructure it’s really eye opens thanks man👍
As usual just a beautiful; build. The entire light rail system in Dallas, Texas was built using previous cargo rai(road rights-of-way. This is a very practical way to add a light rail system through a completely developed city without having to aquire right-of-way from citizens and businesses. I have always been fascinated with Austrailia. Sydney in particular. Someday I hope to get there in person but the thought of making a nearly day long airplane flight has been the deterrent. Also because of the time required to get to Australia from Texas makes me want to see the other major cities. Only problem is with the size of Australia it's like coming to USA and wanting to visit New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Dallas and Houston. Which are thousands of miles apart. Even Dallas and Houston both in Texas are 4.5 hours apart. I've never been to Australia but it is definitely on my bucket list.
I recommend instead of using google maps to browse Sydney for photogrammetry if you have access to an apple device, apple maps has more or less full coverage of the Sydney area which will definitely expand ur sphere of influence once u start creating places outside of the city. Got no idea how Google still hasn't updated their data its literally been years.
he said in the video he ditched the centrepoint asset due to it being "too sydney". since there are the mountains so close by the cbd i reckon (assuming there is an asset for it, or one similar) doing a telstra tower type deal from canberra would be fitting.
I love the use of old buildings in the city, really gives it some character. It would be cool if you could maybe get buildings like a state parliament or old Victorian customs house that basically all Australian cities have. Maybe a mini rocks historical district like Sydney has would be really cool. It would allow to see how the city evolved. Also Dundee is a great name. Maybe a bit bias from me since Dundee Scotland is my home city before I moved to Australia as a child tho.
I think a mining company would be a good fit for the north/north-western part of the island, of course depending on what kind of ideas you have for that region. Some other Idea i had would be either on the beach or on some island you could put some kind of a shipwerck as a tourist attraction...
Please use the Sydney Tower. It’s quite iconic but it still fits. I mean Deutsche Bank is very iconic as well but you’re using it. At least use the Sky Tower from Auckland or something
He is using Melbourne's building to put in the mix, so it doesn't feel too much of the Sydney, however, I do feel Dundee's skyline needs a tower of some sort.... maybe...Newcastle Queens Wharf Tower... LOL, I am kidding... but really Auckland Sky Tower would be nice, I really do feel it is missing an iconic tower, the skyline is great but feels a little naked if you know what I mean...
I like the name Dundee, it feels like a reference to Perth. Between Perth, Melbourne and Sydney, you just need references for the rest of capital cities.
we need some Aussie public transport vehicles running around the Island. we need someone to make NSWR 3801 for Oceanic's historical Railway Preservation (transport heritage NSW). Nice Darling Harbour goods line idea. appreciated the history.
Currently working on my version of Oceania. Same main idea as you, not Melbourne not Sydney but a mishmash of it. I really enjoy digging into the workshop for the industrial areas. Will send you a save when it's more polished ;)
Let me guess... Arty and historical area would be somewhat inspired by The Rocks, fancy city snobs would be Point Piper, Hipster Ville is Newtown, old industrial touristic would be Darling Habour and Docklands.
I think it would be cool if there was an oil rig that gets oil from the ground and then have the oil get sent to a factory that manufacturers it into gas or diesel and then that gets transported to gas stations
@@twodollarstwenty I'm currently reading a book in Spanish called "where cities end" and I believe this episode really touched on a lot of the topics I'm reading. I think it would be very interesting if you started to experiment with "third" world - Latin American cities like Mexico City. It always surprises people, and I feel it would be an interesting series, mixing the pre-hispanic with the colonial with the modernism of the last century with contemporary architecture and urbanization. You should do some research on Mexico City. I think you'd enjoy it.
I reckon having a city square would be neat, maybe like Federation square in Melbourne. Could have social events going like concerts or art installations👍
Regarding your idea, in the beginning, I think it's great, but I think you can expand it one step further. I kind of imagine this island is like a piece of Zealandia, in an alternate version of the ANZAC family, and so perhaps the rest of the world is also a bit different, and the global chains, fast food, airlines and companies are also different. I could definitely see GTA type knock of brands working well. (not in a cheesy way, just something quirky :D
Interested in making a brand, company or business in Oceania? Join the chat! discord.gg/5PMxdzuzkg
You should make a custom sports team for Oceania, with a stadium, banners, and signage
Do you have a Collection of all the tools you use for your cities? i have a hard time finding those. Thanks
well I have a name for one of the small towns, Karrah Bay
I stole it from trainz 2
I live in Canada
I very-very like your video bro🙏🇮🇩
I reckon Mick Dees would be a good burger chain. Imagine it originated in Dundee, and is a good take on McDonald's (McD's) and obviously Mick Dundee...
There are a lot of sydney Chinatown assets in the workshop, I think a Chinatown neighborhood would look really good
In places like the us, Canada and Australia you gotta have stuff like that because of the diversity of those countries
@@bigfish3846 what about uk literally every decently large city has a big one
yes please

Which one?
@@LonelyRacoon it’s called the hope we’ll centre. And as you look at the downtown from above it’s more towards the harbour
I think Dundee also fits with Australian place name trend of naming towns and cities after british place names ie. Melbourne and Perth
But Dundee is a 💩🕳
@@andrewmay9927 😂😂
For a true Aussie theme the names should be from our Aboriginal people.
@@andrewmay9927 Aye too many junkies there

“Mount Grey Spring Water, The Only Pure Spring Water On The Island”
Plot twist: 'Natural spring' is actually a water drain
If the city's named Dundee, maybe one of the local brands of is "Done Deal". Or take a spin on that phrase: Dunn Deal, Dun Decal, Dun Decaf, Raw Deal, etc.
Perhaps the phrase arose early in the city's history: the press headline for a shady land deal which couldn't be undone, which left its mark on many things, and which still lives on in family wealth, active social resentments, and other legends.
It could've inspired other things than retail brands: sports team names or mascots (the Dundee Swindlers), district nicknames, festivals, etc.
I think the best part of starting a new project is that you learn from your mistakes and make a better one
The layout looks very similar to Sydney's. I've lived in sydney my whole life and I've never seen someone do such a great representation.
Same here but i reckon the whole Sydney layout is because two dollars twenty is also from sydney
He got a lot of Inspirations from Australia and Sydney but doesnt Want it to look too much like sydney
Yeah. Where he originally placed the park is where Hyde park is and I through it most days. It was a pretty good layout similar to sydney
If the city is named Dundee, we need a sport team named the Crocodiles 😂
Don’t forget Cricket pitches and suburban footy fields. If Hipsterville is inspired by Newtown, Ashfield, Balmain, etc, something like Leichardt Oval would be really cool.
having local businesses and the whole series is SO DOPE!
The signature burger of the city's fastfood chain should be 'The Mick', or 'BigMick' - after Mick Dundee ofc :)
In NZ a nickname for McDonald's is Mickee Dees, (or shortened obviously to McDs like other parts of the world) so that would work!
very nice, can't wait for the 1st first-person tour
That idea isn't dumb at all it's brilliant. I still holding out hope that the name Irwin Isles will be used
"Roseway" can be nice for hotels area. "Arlington" for arty history area. "Madison" for shopping area.
Marble Mountain map is the best one you have did!!
The elevated park in NYC is called High Line, converted from old elevated freight line into a walkable park crisscrossing between buildings in NYC
I REALLY like the plans of the business empires and all that stuff that’s exciting
Hi $2.20, don't forget to put in a small Chinatown somewhere within the city, most of the major cities in Aus and NZ have them.
I really like the Idea with the Brand´s. Just like "Pißwasser" or "Cluckin´Bell" from GTA, it fits very well in the Oceania-Project!
Creating import and export chains in this city sounds like an awesome idea I’d love to see stuff like that through!
man i am so excited for the future of this channel. springfield and oceania are my favourite series
Wow fantastic. Glad to see you know the summer Hill development with the light rail connection. Great idea to include something like that.
I think that a fort at the beach would be good, it would be a place that reminds of the colonial past
Yeah, something along the lines of Fort Denison would be cool. He could even use the old name of Pinchgut if he wanted to.
wow this series going to be much more exciting than i thought
by far my favorite series of yours
Dundee also works due to how many Aussie towns and cities are named for brittish ones
it's so fun seeing Melbourne buildings in cities skylines! definitely gonna have to play around with them
Can really see those Sydney influences! Love it!
Wow! You have some great ambitions with this new series!
I am very excited about the future of this project :D
i´m so excited to see the different neighborhoods in the city come to life!
I was sad there weren't more episodes last night, went to bed and woke up to a new episode :D
you have too many roads. probably it's a traffic requirement, but i manage to keep my cities simples and minimals. i use traffic manager to reserve each path to certain type of car, to avoid traffic issues. and keep the city air a minimum clean.
As my favourite C:S TH-camr, I always like and comment on your videos whenever I remember to to help you out :)
We have Dundee and Perth in Scotland,
Now there's a Dundee and Perth in Australia
Love how ambitious this all is
It makes me not want to play Cities Skylines anymore, because I could never...
Impressed as always!! Slightly annoyed you did such a better version of the brick retaining wall for the railway than the one i tweeted to you :P
I am absolutely loving this city! It’s super interesting hearing you commentary and watching the city evolve :)
That idea of the whole production chain nd all is absolutely amazing! I love it!
Name the snobby rich neighbourhood Chelmer. It’s a real suburb in Brisbane and it is filled to the brim with million dollar mansions, and renovated big Queenslanders. And call the hipster neighbourhood Dunwich. It’s one of the most dangerous suburbs in Brisbane.

Love the mix of Melbourne and Sydney buildings.
It already looks so Australian and you haven’t even gotten into major detailing work, good job 👍
You can use node controller on train tracks too. It makes the slopes between tunnels and bridges look a lot better
15:45 Having this on in the background and then hearing a 110k subscriber youtuber mention your hometown is... jarring? Nice? Interesting.
I think we all want to see a Sydney observation tower deck like tower in Oceania 👍🏻👍🏻
he said in the video he ditched the centrepoint asset due to it being "too sydney". since there are the mountains so close by the cbd i reckon (assuming there is an asset for it, or one similar) doing a telstra tower type deal from canberra would be fitting.

"Oceania" makes me think of 1984, so maybe Orwell would make a good place name if you need another.
Orwell Place could be the hipster area!
It will be a great City and the best selfmade map ive ever seen 💪🏼
I've been waiting so much, yesssssssss!

oooo 14:28 downtown providence, the stadium and the road that goes across 95, immediately goes from downtown to low res
Not sure if your aware @two dollars twenty, but Episode 6 isn't in the playlist. It's on your channel, but only as a solitary video.
Don't forget about chippies! We Anglos love our fish and chips :)
"Grey Water, Now That's Good Sh*t!"
I like the name Dundee, it feels like a reference to Perth. Between Perth, Melbourne and Sydney, you just need references for the rest of capital cities.
that idea for the businesses sounds cool, and I'd love to see you try that
You know what would be cool if that island was invaded in ww2 and have memorial sites on the island where battles took place
I love that idea! That's so clever. Also, great video!
I think the arts area should be called "Archibald" after the Portrait art prize or "Whiteley" after artist Brett Whiteley

Tell him on the discord.. Might work

Chicago has a good combo of underground and above ground subway (called the ‘L’ for ‘elevated’). You may want to consider this mix for Dundee!

i can't choose and dispose trees. that's probably my number 1 weakness. especially because i know it's time consuming.
