Simcity 2013 Built in Video Capture and Expand Parks without road

[fotten 1]

Few things i noticed with a lot of videos i've seen is people not noticing that you can expand parks against parks, so only the first needs to be against the road.

I've also noticed people not filling in space with tree's.

With that in mind, decided to test out the capture thats provided in game, which shows that above in the last 5mins before my beta map ended.

Few things to note, initially the default capture is set to low res, but after a few vids i change this to 720.

Didn't however notice whether it could capture sound though! will need to check that before beta ends shortly. But interesting to see out of the box them supporting video capture / sharing.

Wow, you had a great looking city.  Thanks for the info on trees.  I thought this beta was more difficult and I had a harder time getting to 16,000 population than I did the first time.  Heck you got to 26,000...kudos!  Can't believe you did that in one hour.

had a few hit the 50k - 60k area before the 10min timer kicked off.

 

The vid above is part of a playlist by the way. Few vids show park expansions / tree plotting etc.

That's an admirable layout fodden, permission to copy your style wholesale <g>

Thanks for the hint on park expansion. I was finding hard time layout tennis courts and such. Almost report them bugs that it should allow us to rotate/align things with adjacent roads. 

 

Is the expansion concept also applied with water tower too?

tis rushed, due to the 1hour limit so rough road system but like to do things less boxy and more fluid. Hate the american way of laying out things, horribly boring. The british in me

 

Water tower i think is the only thing that i've noticed can';t be expanded. But there is a larger one which is locked out.

 

Everything else seems to be expandable, which is a great system. Then using the forest planting to fill in the spaces, when you fill in these spaces with trees the buildings can still grow into them! so it's worth doing, makes things look nice.
