lime!<p><strong>I want a citybuilder with _less_ building.</strong></p> <p><a href="https://feddit.nu/post/7686751" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">feddit.nu/post/7686751</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
Loops 🍑 :audhd: :ir:<p>City builders often do something I find odd: the “main entrance” is the vehicle entrance. </p><p>Where I grew up it was common that the “main entrance” - whether it faced a road or a path - was not always where vehicles entered from. </p><p>It’s probably a tech limitation, but it’s one reason why no matter the visual theming, they always feel North American to me. The buildings always face where the cars come from - and that’s just not my experience 😅</p><p><a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/videogams" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>videogams</span></a> <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gaming</span></a> <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/SimGame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SimGame</span></a> <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/CityBuilders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CityBuilders</span></a> <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/CitiesSkylines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CitiesSkylines</span></a> <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/SimCity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SimCity</span></a></p>
Sword of Seiros<p><strong>Dystopika update v1.1</strong></p><p>Just a heads up about my Dystopika city, now appropriately called Olisipo, the name of Lisbon during the Roman Empire. May the old gods have it somewhere preserved in all its glory. </p><p>Our dear developers – Voids Within – launched a very cool update (v1.1) with aerial transportation. The ground level is packed and humanity reached for the skies, built highways and monorails connecting different sectors, residential, industrial, and entertainment. It looks nice but it’s still a bit empty in my case. I have to build more areas with their own identities, as I have been doing. They also introduced new props and new ways to customise size, orientation, colour and brightness. Think that you’re chilling in your well isolated apartment and you see a sea of serpents with moving scales, luminescent and vibrating against a night sky packed with smoke, pollution, and a smell of <em>undergang</em>. Perfection!- if not for the reality we’re living in I’d say it could only be appreciated in the realm of fantasy.</p> <p>We can customise the highways to have the exact same height. They make beautiful parallel lines. In this disordered world, there’s salvation in geometry. Above is a new area I’ve built, with highways at the ground level and, a bit farther away, I went as high as I could! In the middle there’s a little cluster from when I started the game. It’s one of my favourite screenshots because it invokes a sense of calmness amidst the conflicting shapes and lights.</p> <p>This one resembles a roller coaster! One day, I’ll build a serpentine highway passing over the main buildings. Since I went for maximum height, I wasn’t able to do it this time. I tested how the roads merge and cross each other. I think it looks natural if we’re careful with the placement. They can be extended only so much. We can make several roads connected into a big lane. More ideas for a new city! This area depicts the Joy-me zone and The Sect farther away, to the right. I wrote about them <a href="https://swordofseiros.wordpress.com/2024/08/22/dystopika-a-work-in-progress/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.</p> <p>The new monorails are operated by AI. No wonder there’s so many accidents. Few inhabitants use this means of transportation because it’s not secure. It has however many cameras controlling and indexing everyone. If a crime is committed, the perpetrators are included in the “Correction &amp; Adjustment Program” at The Sect. Many have fled to the outskirts of the city, where they contemplate the beautiful lanes from afar and build new communities and new narratives.</p> <p>Dystopika has beautiful light leaks and it’s wonderful to explore the city from all angles. The rush hour in Olisipo is no joke.</p> <p>Here’s a new corporate area where I added logos and stock images. We can either use in-game images or add any image from our PC. I like to use screenshots from my favourite games, but this time the original pictures were the best. I wrote Libera Nos on a building, and I think it’s a great name for a place where people sweat for bad pay.</p> <p>And finally, a new area in the outskirts of the city, with new buildings, satellite dishes, new mounted signs and cable connectors. Farther away there’s an area with illuminated pyramids that I decorated as a tribute to Xenoblade Chronicles. The devs are working on mod support for the game so who knows what the future will bring? I’ll keep working on this city and in the future I’ll build a new one with more ordered choices to establish better rhythms in repetition and harmony between different zones.</p><p><span></span></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swordofseiros.wordpress.com/tag/city-builders/" target="_blank">#cityBuilders</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swordofseiros.wordpress.com/tag/cozy-games/" target="_blank">#cozyGames</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swordofseiros.wordpress.com/tag/cyberpunk/" target="_blank">#cyberpunk</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swordofseiros.wordpress.com/tag/dark/" target="_blank">#dark</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swordofseiros.wordpress.com/tag/dystopika/" target="_blank">#dystopika</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swordofseiros.wordpress.com/tag/gaming/" target="_blank">#gaming</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swordofseiros.wordpress.com/tag/pc-games/" target="_blank">#pcGames</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swordofseiros.wordpress.com/tag/relaxing/" target="_blank">#relaxing</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swordofseiros.wordpress.com/tag/report/" target="_blank">#report</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swordofseiros.wordpress.com/tag/sandbox/" target="_blank">#sandbox</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swordofseiros.wordpress.com/tag/simulation/" target="_blank">#simulation</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swordofseiros.wordpress.com/tag/steam/" target="_blank">#steam</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swordofseiros.wordpress.com/tag/video-games/" target="_blank">#VideoGames</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swordofseiros.wordpress.com/tag/videogames/" target="_blank">#videogames</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swordofseiros.wordpress.com/tag/voids-within/" target="_blank">#voidsWithin</a></p>

I've played a lot of rough <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/CityBuilders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CityBuilders</span></a> over NextFests, but this one was immediately frictionless and fun. It's very similar to <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Caesar3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Caesar3</span></a>'s classic formula, but streamlines building proximity and resource allocation in a way I immediately appreciated. There's also a world map addition which seemed fun, but I didn't experience it that much, since the demo doesn't support save games.</p><p><a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/2603020/Citadelum/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">store.steampowered.com/app/260</span><span class="invisible">3020/Citadelum/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/VideoGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VideoGames</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaming</span></a></p>
