Our take on Silicon City
Players who want to place buildings without managing social reactions may hit the first wall when residents begin voicing dissatisfaction. The next pressure point is balancing the budget and resources as a small settlement grows into a city.
What is Silicon City?
Silicon City is a city-building simulation where players begin with empty land and money, then develop a village into a city.
Citizens have individual needs and opinions about policies; unhappy residents may leave if their concerns are ignored. Players place buildings, grow the population, balance the budget, and manage resources while seeking re-election as mayor. The game includes more than 50 building types and procedurally generated content. Sandbox mode provides infinite money and access to in-game commands and functions for writing custom scenarios. Players can customize and share creations, analyze city data through an integrated social network, and use Twitch integration to let viewers become citizens.
