Kenapa Akses Awal?

“The Gilded City is built around systems that interact and evolve together, from urban development and procedural buildings to transportation, industry, trade, and population.

We want to develop these systems together with the community. Early Access will give us an opportunity to see how players build their cities, discover unexpected strategies and problems, and use that feedback to improve the simulation and overall experience.

The Early Access period will also allow us to gradually expand the scope and variety of the game, creating a more immersive and historically authentic experience of the Gilded Age.”
