Hey everyone,
My name is ruffiØ and I have been playing Cities Skylines since day one. Something that was a "dream game" turned into reality for me in 2015 and I never looked back.
After sinking thousands of hours into this series and seeing how amazing the modding scene grew, it filled my heart with joy, but I always felt something was missing.
Fast-forward to this past summer and an idea hit my head. Why isn't there a Mod Bounty platform available for Cities Skylines? I understand that patreon exists and we have forums/reddit etc, but there was no centralized location for people to post their ideas for mods or custom assets.
With the recent debacle over paid Starfield mods, it really stuck to me that a model could be put into place that could benefit both players and the developers making their assets/mods available to everyone.
---real introduction---
I would like to introduce, "Build My City". A platform designed for you to post ideas for mods/assets and to raise money as a community for a developer to pickup the "contract" and create the idea that was posted.
This model allows a few things.
I hope this is something the community will be as excited about as I am. I am very close to completing this to BETA and if anyone wants to help me cross the finish line or have some awesome ideas, please reach out to me.
I've included a small preview of what the platform is looking like in the alpha stage. I'll post a link to the Discord if mods allow it.
Thanks everyone and happy building!

(there is a lot to go over, but didn't want to make a bigger text wall than needed, also wasn't sure if this was the right spot to post this, hoping it is)

This model allows a few things.
- Anyone can post their ideas for custom mods/assets without it getting buried into comment hell. (semantic searching ftw!)
- This allows developers to earn money and maybe work on things outside their comfort zone.
- This allows the community to decide which mods should be built first based on community funding.
- Once a mod is released, it would be free to everyone, even those who did not back the mod with any funding.
I hope this is something the community will be as excited about as I am. I am very close to completing this to BETA and if anyone wants to help me cross the finish line or have some awesome ideas, please reach out to me.
