Line Your Roads with Maples and Magnolias!

Hello x,
There's only one day left for Cities Reforged: Tudor Village, our new Gamefound campaign! We just reached what we planned to be our final Stretch Goal, which completes the new Dirt Paths system with 2x2 Advanced Builder pieces.
However, with a whole day left to go, we decided to bring out some surprise sculpts we had waiting in the wings...a Cityscape Tree system! Let's take a quick look at what all these Trees and Dirt can do. We'll also be demoing them on stream tonight at 7pm US Eastern Time! |
|
The Dirt Path system got majorly expanded in the opening days of the campaign, so it's been a whirlwind designing, sculpting, and painting prototypes while Tudor Village was live. However, we just got several of the Core Pieces done, so we can show you what it looks like!
While the primary goal of our Grasslands family is to make 4x4 tiles that integrate seamlessly with City builds, we know a lot of you were hoping for winding dirt roads through a forest, so we aimed to make them work running through the wilderness, with the 2x4 Straight allowing 6-inch runs. |
|
Of course, with this campaign's focus on bringing nature into your City builds, there's been quite a few questions about trees. The long and short of it is that we initially had modular trees planned for Tudor Village, but when the campaign was split into two halves, they were put into the second half.
However, we love the way these sculpts came out, and if we manage to get to $1.6 Million, we've decided we'll make this system early! It'll be a full collection with two City Stump Lumps, Two Trees, and a hollow Urn Planter that fits over the Stump Lumps to turn them into decorative flowerbeds. |

The Small-Trunked tree in this collection is a two-piece Maple tree, with a top layer that can be used as freestanding bush scatter. The Large-Trunked tree is a beautiful Magnolia, and together these trees will look beautiful lining streets or mixed into a forest landscape.
The Small Stump Lump is a 2x2 cobblestone planter that can be used both in-line and as scatter, and is particularly good for elegant, tree-lined streets. The Large Stump Lump is a freestanding circle enclosure that you can stand on sidewalks, on grass, or anywhere else you can dream of. |
|
If we don't hit this final stretch goal, we'll still make these trees when we do our next Cities Reforged installment. However, it'd be incredible to get to create these pieces now, so we hope you'll consider supporting the campaign if you haven't.
With a lot of new pieces as well as old favorites (including the entire Scaffolding collection from Lowtown, which we just added today) we've packed Tudor Village with as many City encounter tools as possible.
As always, we'll be monitoring the Gamefound comments, social media, the forums, and our discord. Don't forget, we'll be doing live demos of all these new stretch goals tonight at 7pm US Eastern Time on our twitch channel! |
