You can have an overlay showing you smell, noise and traffic - and more! There aren’t any plans in place for leaderboards, competitive play or co-op, so it would be an ideal way to show off any buildings you’re particularly proud of. I was told that they are looking into implementing Steam Workshop support, and the scenarios would be perfect for that. The scenario mode gives you limitations and specific goals, like having to have a certain amount of floor space by a deadline. You can have two at a time, and these might be something small like reaching this population, or challenge you to have that amount of rent.
Once you have your offices, or shopping mall, or whatever you wish to build - heck even before any of that - you can take contracts which earn you some extra cash. Some require services such as fax/copying facilities, which cost you to open and maintain but don’t bring in any rent. Each tenant has wants and needs, from just requiring electricity, up to needing a certain amount of cafés. You have to choose what is going to go where - will it be offices, retail, restaurants? - and who you want to rent that space out to. In the normal mode, you start with a plot of land and a building, as well as some money. We were shown both modes, the main sandbox mode, and the scenarios mode. Sounds super dull, right? Well, whilst Kasedo’s Patrick showed off the latest build fresh from SomaSim Games (developers of the Age of Empires-esque 1849), it didn’t take long at all to become absolutely swamped by depth. Project Highrise is a game where you have to craft a working environment in a city, in the form of a big building.
What greeted us was, in fact, more like SimCity than anything resembling Tiny Tower. Steve, our Editor-in-Chief, likened the gameplay footage to the mobile game Tiny Tower - build floors, get earnings. When Kasedo Games invited us to their offices to show us Project Highrise, I’ll admit I was a little underwhelmed by what I had seen.
