    I love this game. It is in the same vein as Townscaper or Tiny Glade, where the object is to build a town without being limited by any statistics like money or happiness - just build something that you like. The recent update for adding little flying cars to travel through between the skyscrapers has reinvigorated my city building enjoyment.

    it’s a pretty cool “wallpaper generator” or animated video insert for whatever video project you might have. Pretty, no actual gameplay, but neat toy software.

    I’m in the discord. The dev pushes out updates regularly, and I was pleasantly surprised by the full game. When I played the demo, there was a lot more randomness involved in everything; now you can select which buildings you want to place, what decorations to put and where, and you can tweak their sizes and such.

    You can also use your own art and small gifs for the ads you can place.

    ETA: the photo mode is great, and there’s even a panorama/moving camera mode so you can make little scenes panning across your city. It’s definitely a good little cozy game that I’d recommend to anyone who likes cyberpunk and city builders, just don’t expect any actual gameplay or story aside from placing buildings and such.

    Isn’t one of the main founding pillars of the entire cyberpunk genre to teach the lesson that big monopolistic megacorps and an over-reliance on technology is a bad thing? Like, the story is to show how bad life would be under those circumstances, so you have technology that advances, and the law with it, but regular citizens cannot afford the new tech so they have to cobble it together themselves from the old tech they have in order to comply with the law set by the BBEG megacorp?

    How do you have a cyberpunk society without all the bad parts? Such a society would have citizens that can afford or are provided new tech and thus the cyberpunk aspect would naturally not exist, would it not?

      It’s just an arcadey cozy city builder like Townscaper, but with a cyberpunk coat of paint on it.

        Cozy dystopia. God help me.
