The series starts around the year 1920 and slowly advances forward in time, which means the city will naturally evolve all the way to modern times. The city is not a recreation of any one real-life city or country, but it takes inspiration from them. PC specs are in the channel’s About page. No, the game doesn’t run like this in real time. Cinematics are recorded slow and made faster in editing. Music: Pictures used: (1) FORTEPAN / Nagy Gyula - Germany, Berlin 1970 (2) Medzinárodná súťaž Bratislava Petržalka, 1969 (International Competition Bratislava Petržalka) - Entry by Tibor Alexy, Ján Kavan, Filip Trnkus (Czechoslovakia) Information about sources: My primary sources are in Czech and Slovak, because I understand it and I can easily borrow books, search theses, articles or old TV programmes. This gives me information about Czechoslovakia. After learning or confirming something, I search whether or not it’s applicable to also East Germany, Poland and Hungary through online articles or videos, but also sometimes English books that I can see through library access. Although some sources pop up from those other countries first. I don’t research the Soviet Union and other Eastern Bloc countries, since that is not where the series is from. I also don’t focus on political theory but rather the reality. Major sources: Books: (I) “Šedesátá léta v architektuře očima pamětníků“ (Sixties in Architecture through the eyes of witnesses) TV and video: (II) Archive of the Czech/Slovak/Czechoslovak TV and cinema news (various programmes, news clips or shows from relevant periods) (III) Recent Czech TV programmes like and others Other: (IV) Museum visits, historical exhibitions or lectures (V) Looking at various historical photos, for example from , , old maps (VIII) Various online articles about the roads and buildings to get the year of construction. #citiesskylines #altengrad
