Varför Early Access?

“As The City Must Grow is a one-person project, I need community feedback to make the game more enjoyable. I have a lot of things and ideas to add to the game and I need feedbacks to prioritize or inspire new ideas. I like to listen to people and implement ideas.
The current state of the game is like a sandbox and repetitive. And the key feature is to make the highest score among other players.
I'm working on it to add more features and to reduce repetitiveness.”

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“Core mechanics are done in early access. It has simple controls but is deep in internal mechanics. As a city building game, it has different zone types; residential, agricultural, commercial, offices, and a little industry. Has some objectives to complete. Information messages wherever possible to lead users to what to do. And it has steam leaderboard. Also well optimized already in order to make people experience the game well without having high spec hardware.”
