Greetings, Architects!

The last time we posted to all of you, our latest game, City of Gangsters, was about to appear in the summer 2021 Steam Next Fest.

Well, a lot has happened since then and we just want to take a moment or two to catch you up on what we’ve been up to.

First of all, City of Gangsters released on August 9!





Since then, it’s been a blur of updates and releases up to, well, now. Post release, we’ve focused improving the game experience for players with quality of life and UI improvements, small content additions and balance adjustments. When Project Highrise came out, we went through a similar phase - those of you who were with us from the start might remember from way back then in 2016 - and it’s been lots of fun and very rewarding to have the game in players’ hands and to grow it along with them.





And then last week, we shipped out our first major update that allows players to play on truly random, procedurally generated maps. And these maps can be edited and shared via Steam Workshop.

We’ve got more plans in the works that will bring even more content to City of Gangsters in the near future - we’ll be announcing more info about that very soon, so make sure to follow the game to hear about that right away.

So, if running a criminal syndicate during Prohibition sounds like the bee’s knees to you, come on over! There’s plenty of tycoon business game fun to be had spinning up and maintaining your outfit in fictional versions of Chicago, Pittsburgh, Detroit and Cincinnati.

Hope to see you in the 1920s real soon!

Hi everybody! As some of you know, we have spent the last few years developing our new game City of Gangsters, and are very happy to announce that we’re releasing a free playable demo as part of Steam Next Fest (June 16-22). We’d love for you to check it out and let us know what you think!

City of Gangsters is an economy management and strategy game where you start a crime syndicate from nothing, and grow it into a well-oiled money machine. You build speakeasies and illegal distilleries while managing production chains and resource distribution. Smuggle goods from out of town and bribe the police to look the other way, as you grow a powerful crew that will help you keep your rivals under your thumb.



If this sounds intriguing, we’ve also put together a series of gameplay videos which showcase many of the game’s mechanics and features:



The demo will be available on Steam, starting June 16 at 12pm Central. Hope to see you at the festival!
