Finally. First!
I bought Townscaper when it was released in Early Access and thought it was fantastic, I watch your videos because I think they're fantastic. Never would I have imagined a Venn-diagram where Townscaper and Life-Sized City would overlap, but now that I'm watching it, it all makes sense.
Hi Mr Colville-Anderson;
I am very much interested in #Hamilton episode of @lifesizedcity documentary on Link TV but I’ve missed it – is there any way we can watch it from another source?
Thanks
Support the developer, they made this great game and it is very cheap.
I’ve been watching life sized city so much over the last few weeks, I’ve been looking for a game to test out and play around with all I’ve learned from Mikael, perfect timing of this video and can’t wait to play this game.
I feel like "simulator" would be a better name for this project than "game", but ive had it for a while now and its lovely! There's Islanders, as well, from more gamy-games
The developer says it's more a toy than a game; seems charming and whimsical. Interesting – and much-viewed – video by a fan: https://youtu.be/G2M45AlxdtU
Does it have a guillotine I can use on the luxury condo developers? 😀
Time to move to Twitch and start streaming!
The art for this game reminds me of the works of Michiel Schrijver. Check him out if you like the way this game looks, it's a beautiful collection of paintings that feel like they were pulled from a world of an architect's melatonin-induced dreams. They're not quite real and not quite fantasy. It feels grounded in reality, funnily enough, in a world stretching out on an infinite ocean of a pure blue that has never seen a drop of oil spilled into it in the entire history of the worlds it's portraying. It's just cold enough to feel solitary and contemplative but just enough detail was put into the warmth of the lights shining from windows or above the idealistic oak trees growing enormously in perfectly landscaped gardens that the scenes retain the warmth that makes you want to stay and walk the streets for a while, just to think and clear out your head from the noises that our world drills into you.
As a student doing my undergraduate in game design and someone who really enjoys urban design, it is awesome seeing these two worlds coming together. If you're looking for more urban design style of games, in no particular order, I'd recommend looking into Islanders, Block'Hood, Mini Metro (soon Mini Motorways), and Cloud Gardens.
Isn't it interesting that the historical pattern of city-building involves a narrative of individuals making decisions based on their circumstances – and you've brought that search for story and meaning into this city building game. The more that we understand the story of where we live and how things came about, the more we can appreciate the types of changes we should make going forward.
Looks interesting but really needs some people walking around and some commerce or something to give it life. And boats would be cool. Now you've cracked this, you DEFINITELY need to check out Cities Skylines. It's taken over from Sim City as the main city building game now and if Sim City is all you know, you'll be blown away by what's possible with it.
Mikael where is the new gaming channel
The most popular city builder is Cities Skylines and is so awesome. Developed by a Finnish company, published by a Swedish company, endlessly moddable but the base game is really fun too.
It's definitely the zen rock garden of city builders. I bet you in particular would get a kick out of builds like this: https://i.redd.it/ws790abhgsa51.png
For a few tips, varying adjacent building colors will separate monolithic buildings into distinct townhouses, and enclosing areas with buildings will create gardens complete with gates and paths. And you can prevent roofs from becoming terraces by avoiding having 5 or more contiguous tiles at the same elevation without something to break them up.
You're kind of Rick of Urban Design, and i feel like Morty

Life-sized City let's play
I think this game is really cool because it highlights how you are creating a base framework for the citizens who personalise it themselves
Cities skylines is sooooo much better than sim city. I started with sim city, moved to cities skylines and have lost hundreds of hours of my life in it 😂
Awesome! I hope you will make another video of this game somewhere in future, cause there are other possibilities in game and its probably going to develop more. Maybe there will be people added to the game?
So, how many months until we have a Life-Sized Cities Skylines Twitch stream? 😀
you should play minecraft. Maybe make a server so we bunch can build a city.
Suggestion: interview the developer
Calling Steam a third party program is so funny and wholesome
How about a round of Cities Skylines?
Shoutout from Montreal
By definition, this is classified as a toy. No goal, no story, just fun busy work.
Another recommendation for Cities Skylines!! They actually withheld their release since SimCity was out but then SimCity bombed quite a bit so they went ahead with the release (only slightly delayed). They have been consistently amazing and the mods are incredible. You can tell so much love and work have gone into it. Check it out!
