It's amazing what good word of mouth will do. The game was sitting at #14 this morning on steam now it's #5 on top sellers

Watching him try to figure out the traffic and roads is like watching a puppy try to swim.

Okay, so I need some advice. I aborted completing my gaming PC a few years ago, I have a video card-less PC, with an Core i5 processor and 8gb of RAM. I want to play this game. what not bank-breaking video card should I consider to play this game?
When they say the "recommended" video card is a GTX 660, are they saying that will give you a solid framerate with high settings? Or is that a baseline for playability.

Over 1,000 posts on here for a PC-exclusive, small scale title and its a week from release still.
That's damn impressive.
Recommended usually means at least Medium/High settings with decent(30fps+) performance. They're never super accurate, though.
Great, thorough interview. Thanks for getting my question in!

Closer to baseline.

In the interview that Psykoboy2 did, Mariina said that the bottleneck is CPU, so that's the most important component. The game overall doesn't seem to be that graphically intensive. As far as what "recommended" means, I feel like lots of developers use that term differently.
I could watch Let's Play videos of this all day, though I don't want to as that may damage my personal enjoyment of the game when it is released.
Why doesn't Quill just build interchanges??? Frustrating me. You will know what I'm referring to if you watch the videos.
Banished is a good introduction city builder.
The learning curve is sharp initially, but once you understand the system the curve becomes more linear. The new mechanics hit a wall due to the game's setting, so there is little risk of becoming overwhelmed as the game progresses.

Thanks! I really have everyone here to thank who submitted questions. It was all from you folks. Like I said, I'll be streaming on our Twitch channel later tonight. I don't have the smallest fraction of a viewer base these big guys do so pop in the chat room and get me to do things with the game you'd like to see or know about.

Count another sale from the magnificent U-turn freeway exits.
regarding performance: I like to play these kinds of games on the go and I've had pretty good performance even with big cities with tons of transit lines in Cities in Motion 2 (which all based on the same tech, albiet two years older) playing on a 2012 Macbook Air, which has a pretty decent integrated graphics chip, but integrated graphics nonetheless. I'd personally be surprised if this was particularly graphics card intensive comparatively, especially with the comments of it being CPU bottlenecked.

Thanks for the replies. My PC is above their recommended CPU and memory specs, so I think I'm going to have a good time playing this when I grab a GPU.

And now he has to bulldoze half his city because the apartments are full of dead bodies. Awesome.

His initial population had a massive die off, at least that's what I think, so he had a boom of corpses and no way to handle them. He had to add a bunch of cemetaries and crematories

I don't know if this has anything to do with it in this type of game, but he's bad at it. Like, really, frustratingly bad. Whenever I watch him lay down some fucked up intersection/railroad/metro I die a little inside. Seems like traffic is hugely important for delivering services, and his roads are horrible.

OH GOD THE TRAINS
As I understood it, there was a huge influx of dead bodies so he deleted many high rise residential skyscrapers.

Quill sucks at this game lol....I'd like to think I would do better. I'd probably get put on blast if I streamed this game though.

This is incredible, holy shit. They should just call it 'Sim City 2013 but good'.
