This series has been a staple of the channel since December 2020; however, we've hit the game limits and must bid Verde Beach a fond farewell. In this video, we'll tour the city, and I'll provide my thoughts about the build along the way. It's the end of an era, but it was a great time while it lasted!

Have been following this series since Episode 1 and it is one of the best vanilla city builds. Hope to get a "New Verde Beach" series in CS2

That would be pretty cool, I'm all for a New Verde Beach. Doesn't even have to follow the plans of Verde Beach former, just has to be a completely vanilla build imo.

Wait, this is actually a nice idea. We can imagine that old VB was completely destroyed or become unlivable due to some disaster, so they moved to a new location and re-started as a new city. With an initially master planned core that went on to grow out in different ways around it

Just wanted to say that through Verde Beach you answered my curiosity about how a planner would play this game, taught me real life concepts about the field, inspired my creative projects and my own CS builds, and most importantly, really convinced me to pursue a career in Urban Planning. Thank you so much for your effort and passion!

I absolutely love the new editing style and it’s amazing to see how detailed and grand your builds are now when I remember not too long ago you still struggled with the slope terrain tool. I’m sad to see this series go but excited to see what comes now! Wishing you the best in CS2!

Yes, 6 days. I've watched the entire series front to back, and as I read some of the other comments here from those who have been here since Verde Beach started, not gonna lie, I'm getting emotional. It feels like I too, have been watching this for years now, and it's very sad that I have to bid farewell to something I've so thoroughly enjoyed, so soon. CPP, thank you for this.

All good things must come to an end, and this has been a heck of a ride. I stumbled upon this series quite by accident, largely binged the Verde Beach videos that were out at the time because it felt so refreshing to see a vanilla build get highlighted (even if you really started to stretch the term "vanilla" after a while), and this series played a large factor in me buying Cities Skylines when it and several DLCs went on sale. And I have no regrets, as even though the game has it's quirks (I still can't get over a city's highest import and export being the same good) it can be a very relaxing, zen experience to just grow and develop a city from nothing over time, especially when you try and get thoughtful about builds. I'm now looking forward to CS2, both playing it myself and seeing what you do with it. I know you've already started, but I get the feeling your hands are a bit tied on what you can do and show until the game is officially released.

Coming back to it many nights when I was absolutely ridden with anxiety, and actively dealing with the nightmare that my life was during that time, this series and your calming voice gave me a sense of normalcy and relaxation. You helped me get to sleep and block out the horrors I was witness to, and I’m so grateful.

I can’t wait to see your channel grow more and your success to come with Cities Skylines 2.

I've watched this series from the beginning, and I must admit, it's been a joy! It's sometimes hard to believe where this city came from, the stories and lore that have been built, and the fact that it makes so much sense! From seeing the old freeway going down to downtown being replaced multiple times until it was little more than a glorified street, the way the lumber, farm and oil facilities have been redeveloped over the years, and just the general growth. It's been a wonderful journey! Thank you for allowing us to join you on that journey.

Thank you Phil for putting so much time into Verde Beach and actualizing our ideas and suggestions. Like many others who have been here from the start this build means so much to us like it does to you and has set a precedent in the entire CS1 community. So from the bottom of my heart thank you for doing what you do. It's sad that VB has come to an end but with all this experience and knowledge we can dream big for whats to come is CS2. Maybe even a Verde Beach 2 in CS2, as some comments mentioned? I think everyone here is on the edge of their seats to see what you'll do next and we are all so exited to see it and be here for it!

Wow! What a beautiful walk-through. This brought back so many memories of previous videos and from the pandemic. During chaotic times, it's nice to have a dependable series. A real comfort I got back into Cities Skylines because of these videos and your knowledge. You've also really expanded my understanding of how cities function in the real world. Thank you and I can't wait for more CS2 videos!

I was here day one and still go back to revisit some builds. Your style, storytelling, and your voice actually are very good for a chill out after work or before bed. Thanks, Philip and Phillip

I came across this channel when CWC started, but instantly wanted more and dove into catching up on VB. It's weird to see this end as I've become accustomed like others to just seeing new episodes. Really amazing build. The way you've crafted stories has always made it feel so damn frustrating knowing I can't book a flight. Looking forward to the future!

Man, I remember finding your channel during the very start of Covid. I haven't stayed with ya the whole time and moved on to other games but now with CS2 coming I wanted to come back and see your pre release builds. I'm floored to see this city still living it's best life. Congrats on all the subs you have from over the years also!

I just finished binge watching this entire series and I have to say.....Well done. It was amazing. I love how you incorporated a story into the build and made the entire thing come to life.

This was the series that brought me to your channel and also what re-ignited my enjoyment for the game itself after it was just sitting in my steam library for some time then, because it showed me what you could do in the game if you really got into it and I wanted to be able to do that too. Thanks for the ride, it was great fun!

I remember playing along for the first 10 episodes. After that, I thought, OMG, there is so much to do! The fact that you were so thoughtful and curated the videos to focus on one or two things at a time was so nice. This is the first series of practically ANYTHING I've seen on KZfaq where I was there from beginning to end, as it was happening. You helped me stay inspired to play, you helped me get through the pandemic, and I really appreciate you, your channel, your vibes... ALL of it! Can't wait to see what other Mulligans await in CIites Skylines II.

I feel like crying. Found this Channel by coincidence and have been here from VB 1 I never thought that I will get emotional over an end of an Cities skylines series. But here I am and I wanna say thank you. Your content is amazing. After work, middle of the night, when I felt good, when I felt bad, on sunny days, on rainy days whenever a new episode came out I’ve been there. I could watch your content all day every day. You’re just different, the way you bring up ideas, your excellent way of explaining and entertaining as well as Story telling. All I wanna say is thank you so much for this amazing ride called verde beach. ❤️

I started this series at episode 79 at the start of Playa Del Fuego, and immediately became hooked to this series and channel. Although I missed the first half, your design in vanilla was a strong motivator to push myself to actually focus on the little details and beautify my cities, since I put hundreds of hours into my builds without mods and still (mostly) play that way. It's sad that this series has come to an end, but I'm glad I found it and have stuck around to see it through. Thank you!

I want to say thank you for the time, dedication, and love you put into this series. I found this series in my first year of medical school and I can’t tell you how many early mornings and stressful nights have been made all the better through your channel and Verde Beach in particular. I probably owe it partly to you that Ive stayed sane these last few years hahaha. Your videos mean so much and I can’t express it enough in words. So truly thank you so much!

I started with this channel with the first episode of VB and I haven't missed a single episode since. Over the ensuing time I've learned so much, literally something new every episode. You and this series have completely changed the way I play CS and I cannot thank you enough for it. Its sad to see VB go, but man it was great. Thank you for your passion and insight. We all can't wait for the next one

I remember when you started out Verde Beach and I was on the fence. I was attached to Bluffside Crossing and I wasn't sure what this new build would bring and whether I would like the unfamiliar territory of the tropical theme. But wow, you really came into your own as a content creator and have leveled up so many times throughout this series! Verde Beach was really something special to watch, it took a place in my heart that for whatever reason Clearwater County never reached, and boy has it been a blast. So thank you, Phil, and I'm looking forward to the next series!
