The Features we can expect from the game
Builders of a perfect city
You will have a deck of cards with buildings at your disposal. Build skyscrapers, parks, residential neighborhoods and transportation highways. It’s up to you to decide what the ideal metropolis should look like.
Maintain the delicate balance
Four factions are fighting for control of the city: capitalists, aristocrats, politicians and commoners. They will do anything to bend others to their will, and every decision you make tips the scales. Play the role of referee, meeting everyone’s needs equally.
Satisfy public needs
A city is a living organism, where something is always happening that requires your attention. Where do you place fire victims? What to do with the gang that has taken control of some districts? The factions will offer their solutions, but it’s up to you to decide whether to follow them or advance your own agenda.
Form new connections
The world of Technotopia is home to a variety of characters. Hackers, oligarchs, criminals, and inventors communicate with the cream of the crop and provide them with services in exchange for their help in maintaining order. A perfect city is built for the people, with the help of the people!
