Like Tiers in Rain | Skid Cities - Early Access (Cyberpunk City Builder)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 жов 2024
- Skid Cities is a cyberpunk city builder that describes itself as a mix of old-school Sim City and Blade Runner, which is essentially a win-win in my book! Our wonderful city is built across different tiers, from the gloomy underground services tier through to the fancy sky-level tier where the rich folks can look down on the riff-raff below.
There are other classic cyberpunk elements, such as androids, flying cars and augmentations, but in order to manage unrest we do slip into a somewhat dystopian society as we build cameras, listening posts and gigantic screens of TRUTH.
Of course it's also a city builder so we have roads to build, zones to zone and water pipes to lay, and there are many overlays for us to use to manage what's going on. Unfortunately as we expand our city we do have a bit of an issue with some rogue androids (sounds familiar...) and crime in general, but that's fine because we can deploy the robo-police!
NOTE: This is the Early Access version of the game.

Skid Cities is a Cyberpunk City Building game. A sandbox where the mechanics and dynamics of a city follow a distorted, dark, twisted future. Build slums, incredibly high skyscrapers, cyborg nests, secret service black sites, factories, and more. Develop your city underground, or keep building on top of your city until you reach the clouds. Your city can be utopian or dystopian. Up to you.
A full, immersive world
The year is 2092. What used to be the United States is now divided into three main Trade Authorities. The rising sea levels have changed coastal landscapes worldwide and spurred the creation of multiple sea-only independent countries. Europe is still recovering from its civil war, 20 years after it. The rich are getting richer, augmenting their brains with technology. Androids are being produced at a scale never seen before. The world will not stop because of your city. You will have to navigate all of this as it happens.
Build your city on top of your city. Or below it
There is no limit to where your city can develop. Up in the sky? Just build tower bases and vertical streets. Deep underground, Asimov style? You can build up to 100 underground levels below your city. And it's not just esthetic: Your levels will influence desirability levels, industry, and each other.
Utopia or dystopia
Who said that dystopia is bad? You can make your city dystopic or utopian, up to you. You can also create areas of your city that are utopian and others that are dystopian. Your city will adjust based on that, no judgment.
Welcome or reject corporations, criminals, and more
As your city grows, it will attract attention from the rest of the world. Evil corporations may look into moving offices or even their headquarters into your city. Oh, organized crime may want to do that too. They will for sure be an influence on your city - wanted or not. You can try to kick them out, embrace them, or flat-out ignore them.

Can we just go ahead and say "Like Tiers In Rain" is the most brilliantly referenced title for this game? Rutger Hauer would be pleased.
Too bad you couldn't play as Republic of Texas. Sounds like a GREAT place!
floating rocks are maybe made of clouds X'D
a beautiful video as always
I am sold! Thank you sir for your wonderful funny interesting review!
I picked this one up after your video. Thanks!
Dropped by to watch~
You got me hooked for the whole video. When is it coming out? Thumbs up 👍
It's in early access right now!
"Im quite temped by the island of florida" has California selected 😆
Oh they're pretty much the same, right?
@@TheGeekCupboard Eh, aside from some mountains and desert, they aren't too different. Both have beaches, and speak English, and grow things. Oo, and a bunch of the towns have similar names. Close enough.
@@candiedskull9841 you missed the fact ones a island and the other isn't but i guess u got like 3 of 5 so a pass
6:15 a nuclear test you say lets build a city here! (Sees a mutated rat) "not my problem"
Hello. 🖖👵 I wonder if those rocks in the sky are more like "high fog". They do look pretty solid... until something gets in front of them. The game does appear to be a rather big memory hog, which isn't a good thing. Hopefully they get that under control before full release.
Some people have suggested they were just clouds. Chunky looking, solid clouds, but clouds nonetheless! And you're right, it was quite memory heavy, it nearly ground to a halt at the end there.
@@TheGeekCupboard My old (and he was so old that he'd be dead by now) science teacher said that 'clouds' are 'high fog' and that 'fog' is 'low clouds'. :-D
Well I suppose he has a point!
I don't think those are great floating rocks. I think those are clouds.
This game looks amazing.
More❤️❤️❤️!!!!!

"Propaganda screens. They sound like fun"

You dont play "as" you play "in"
Context might be required for this, you've lost me.
In the beginning of your vid you choose the territory you play "in" and not "as"
Oh I see! Good point, I agree.
