Silicon City

This Game has a massive scaling and performance problem. When your city exceeds 1000 silicens it starts getting slower and slower, even when using the tips from the forum like "switch off shadows". At the same time this game is using just a single core and graphics are idling. This looks like it should have been some more time in early access and have gotten a multithreading overhaul.

Its a very good city builder/simulation game with charming simple but pretty to look at graphics with a real darn good gameplay, its more deep than you would think and the simulation part is really well done, basically each of your citizen is a ''sims'' and live its own life

En l'état actuel le jeu donne de belles promesses, assez agréable à prendre en main il faut juste se familiariser avec les différents indicateurs. Bien que minimaliste graphiquement, c'est très complexe dans la capacité à simuler l'emploi, les demandes des citoyens etc. J'apprécie particulièrement les bâtiments et quartiers qui progressent visuellement en fonction du nombre d'occupant et de l'entourage. Cela dit le jeu est assez clairement en développement, il manque certains aspects esthétiques (terrains vierges trop uniformes, vide intersidéral en dehors de la zone de jeu..) mais à surveiller pour la sortie finale

[h1] So great So good[/h1] Un bon jeu indé de gestion urbaine pour un jeune studio! La simplicité graphique redonne le goût à ces simulations où la complexité (associé a de gros bugs) ont pris le pas sur les jeux du marchés. On prend un plaisir a construire aisément son havre sans être dévoré par de multiples activités secondaires. Coup de chapeau pour les bâtiments qui semblent se construire d'eux même et qui offre la possibilité de choisir le design de sa cité.

Could be a nice little game but it's full of bugs, has a really small map, and been abandoned by the devs. One big bug being some buildings costing 5-10x in maintenance cost than what they claim, making it very hard to actually provide for the citizens to keep them happy enough to avoid loosing the game. At least it has a sandbox mode.

This was a fun, deceivingly layered game that I look forward to playing in its entirety. First, the graphics are very simple, giving the player a sense of builder games from the 90's, bit the usage of a twitter-like social media platform as a way to keep an eye on the city makes it feel a bit more modern. Play begins simply, you place zones and roads on an empty map to begin growing the city your citizens (Silizens) will move into. As you achieve certain goals, more zones and buildings will become available and you can get much needed money to continue adding to the city. Don't let the simple graphics fool you, however...there is definitely a need for good resource management or you'll find yourself bankrupt quickly. The camera controls are not my favorite as they are clunky and difficult to get positioned just right. I would have preferred to use WASD or the direction arrows to move the map and holding down the right mouse button to pan and zoom. As they are, the WS/Up and down arrow are zoom, which makes it hard to simply click to see other areas of the map. There are settings for mouse sensitivity, so it helps a bit, but I'd love to see the camera controls improved. Overall, a fun game and one with good replay ability. I will be adding this to my library and looking forward to updates and the full game.
