Spot on!
I wonder if the developers had set their mind on building a city builder game before SimCity's non-success or did they realize the market gap and go for it reactively.
They already had a pretty decent city and traffic simulation engine in their earlier Cities in Motion games (which I didn't like nearly as much, perhaps because I was really bad at it). So it's feasible (but still awe-inspiring) if they put Skylines together in that timeframe.
- LoSboccacc 11y agocities in motion was very interesting but the scope was a little too small and forced. there were some interesting mods tho. so far my preference goes to sim city 4 deluxe + rush hours. that has a very good traffic simulation and does a good job of simulating cities, has a lively modding community and it's quite cheap. haven't tested yet skylines, waiting for a sale.
