City Skylines Collaboration: Arrowhead Junction


Arrowhead Junction is a collaborative game between 3 of the greater Youtubers who design in and play the game Cities Skylines. It's a fresh start on a custom map for the game with a fun twist.
When the trailer for this Collaborative series hit, on each of the 3 collaborators channels, we knew something was up. Flux Trance, Strictcoaster and  Fresh PopCorn each stand out for their work in the game City Skylines, a city simulation game that when put in the hands of these 3 collaborators becomes a form of city building art. At first, the trailer's on each channel took us for a loop. Each video titled the same, "Coming Soon" and featuring a similar looking map but a different edit of captured gameplay. And soon it was, but with not enough content for our pleasure. 



Episode 1 hit on FluxTrances Channel. He was the one who took the time to make and detail the amazing arid map that takes its inspiration from FreshPopCorns Trip across the USA. It features details similar to Nevada, Arizona, and parts of the Mid-West. Episode one features a commentary with each of the collaborators about their inspiration for the series and the plan for the series too. The guys knew they wanted to work together and this gave them the opportunity to do something that had never been done together with city skylines. 





We are excited to see how this map develops. The guys talk about letting the city grow like any would in the real world. This is an interesting aspect of this collaboration and one that hopefully gets you really excited. Freshpopcorn in episode 2 gets things rolling with the discovery of Oil and a small community bent on making it rich.
