Cities just got a lot more interesting as players can now place more than one building! New build plots appear along the top of the road as it’s extended. These plots can be tapped on to select a new building to place.

Have a look at this video to see it in action:

Here’s what is shown:

• First we switch into build mode (the hammer button).
• Next we tap on a build plot in the city and choose a building to place in it.
• The new building appears along with a section of road underneath it.
• We extend the road to the left and right by dragging. New build plots appear above the road in the empty space. We can tap on these plots to place more buildings.
• If a building can’t fit on a plot it’s button will show “NO FIT”
• The cost of the build plan is shown on the OK button, reaching 10 stars by the end.

We never confirm the build plan in this video, so we never have to pay the price for it. If we wanted to we could earn stars in the Memory Bank by answering challenges.

Every city starts with one founding plot in the middle of the map. New buildings are placed centrally in their plot. At some point in the future it’ll be possible to re-arrange buildings before they are built.

It’s not shown in the video but you can also cancel a build plan and the city will return to its state before you entered build mode. This allows a player to experiment and understand what things cost before they commit to changes.

Next on the roadmap is to add some more interesting buildings. Stay tuned! For ways to keep up see our contact page, we’re on mastodon and we have an RSS feed.
