vonCity
A downloadable game for Windows
A retro style city builder with pixel graphics.
For those unfamiliar with the classic look of it -
C is commercial buildings, or stores. Your tourists pay money to them which you get a part of as taxes.
R is residential, which in this case is just motels for now. When tourists sleep there they are ready to work again, and also want to leave less.
I is industry, or jobs. Working a job gets a traveler some cash, which they may or may not spend in your town. Plan wisely.
The lightning bolt insignia buildings are so far unused. Work in progress.
Making a 2x2 set of "I", "R" or "C" buildings makes a mega building, which stops being useful as the original building, but provides a boost.
A 2x2 "C" structure adds $5 to the cost of shopping.
A 2x2 "R" structure doubles rent, and will double the rooms available, eventually. Not yet coded.
A 2x2 "I" structure adds $25 to the paycheck for each work period. All bonuses are CUMULATIVE, so more 2x2 buildings means more bonuses.
Note from Vaughn:
This is just the framework so far. The gameplay is being worked on.
Pre-alpha phase release, just finding the fun amidst the code for now. If you have suggestions or ideas, I would love to hear them! I am thinking about a new take on the old city simulator but based on real time activity (the highway) which supplies people. Talking them into visiting your town, or even moving in and getting a job, is up to you the city planner. Would LOVE to hear your thoughts, and get some input. -V
