Metropolis 1998

dayum this looks good 

would you like to add chinese version? I just tried translate this,if you need this,plz reply me,i think this game will be developed more  in chinese gamer community 0v0

Great game, I absolutely love the art style, and I like how you tried to take the basic sim city gameplay loop, and tried to add more depth to it, but I wished that the tutorial did a better job at explaining the more complicated mechanics. For example, when the tutorial asked me to put down zoning, i didn't realize it would only be for a single house, and my mayoral mansion to be more specific. The sims-esque home customization was neat, but I personally found placing furniture a bit fiddly, but i still generally liked its inclusion. I found the interface a bit confusing, as the tutorial didn't explain it particularly well. But overall, I think this game has a lot of potential, it just needs some work in the early game, so it can be more approachable to more people.

Really nice game :)

Really like the game. Got way more into it than I should have probably xD. Got my map pretty much maxxed out with 28000ppl. Will get to the 30k eventually. Had to grind every bit of terrain by hand which was a bit much, but here we are. Wish for a streamline way for that in the future if you could. Also tidy up the deconstruction menu a bit. I know how it works now but it's not very intuitive. 

Will there be some kind of improvement to the game engine? I have Radeon RX 7900XT with 20GB of VRAM, Ryzen 7 5800X with 32GB of DDR4 RAM and the fps go down to about 5 when fully zoomed out and all buildings shown. 

I'm so looking forward to what the community will do with the house editor. There is amazing potential in there.

Nice work I love art style

I love this art style

Wow this is cool I always like SimCity series theotown, this game has the charm

Amazing art :)

Looks suuuper cool-the art is amazing. Playing the game was preeetty difficult without the YT tutorial. Was hard to find everything, lots of errors, couldn't find the eraser..?

The ambience is great, and honestly some nice music would do well I think.

Maybe if you get the chance, honestly just a downloadable world to drive around in and walk around in as a character would be REALLY amazing, purely for appreciating the super detailed artwork. Maybe being able to enter buildings and explore, possibly with some lore. Having to start from scratch does make me a bit sad that I can't immediately appreciate everything, but I understand you've gotta put in the hard work and urban planning.

Good luck to you!!! :3

I love how you can just build the thing or make the things down to the smallest detail! Its really fun, although  connecting the water and power was a bit difficult until i found the youtube tutorial you made.

Great game, i can't wait for the final release!

Fire. love the art details!! xoxo

Game looks awesome!  Any plans for a Mac version?

As a Transport Tycoon fan, I loved the level of detail in the graphics; it was exactly what we've always expected from Transport Tycoon and Transport Tycoon Deluxe.

It's incredible to see people walking and vehicles with real-time destinations. The idea of seeing people inside their homes and where they're going is amazing. I've explored the house menus, and there are multiple options for housing and all kinds of buildings—that's fantastic.

Another thing I really liked was seeing the city at night, that will be excellent.

I hope Chris Sawyer from TTD sees this project. He would be proud when you finish this masterpiece. It involves a huge amount of code, and it depends on what you want to add to the game's economy: banks, trains, buses, buying and selling, replacements, loans, etc. I wish you all the best. It's a great project to follow. Greetings from Argentina.

My kids absolutely adore this game and love fussing over every little detail of their houses. Thank you so much, it's wonderful — we'll definitely be buying the full version!

A few things that would make it perfect for us:

• Underground floors/basements would be the cherry on top for me.
• I'm not a huge fan that when I have two independent buildings on the same plot, they're forced to share the same roof type and exterior walls — would love to see those be independent per building.
• In rougher/poorer neighborhoods, some graffiti would add nice atmosphere.
• And of course, more and more furniture! My kids are really missing medieval-style elements so they can build fantasy castles and fortresses, tents for outdoor campers/nature lovers, more advanced terrain-shaping tools, and houseboats :)

Thanks again for such a lovely game!

deleted comment below was mine, could not connect to the driveway but i found the solution. REALLY good game!

Looks cool, reminds me of the early Sim City, Sim Town, Sim Tower games.

So, outside of featured technology, what's so 1998 about it?

fun game

This game is incredible and I'm super excited for its development! I was blown away when the tutorial asked me to actually design the building! That's such a cool way to have a hand in every little detail of your city.

I think of city initiatives after having played this although it was really slow such as... beaver flooding prevention or dove pooping acts or even friday silence acts national custody after 9 pm.

i really like it although i wish you could drive you're own car similar to sim city 4
