While tracing every procedural ricochet may be tricky, many choices have consequences that are writ large in your surroundings. If a generator breaks down, depriving the neighbourhood of light after sunset, the faction in charge will seek out the resources to fix it, and post patrols to defend the generator in future. If you or somebody else steals from a house, the owner will reinforce the windows. Poison a well, and you might return to find half the locals dead and the well under lock and key.
City 20will launch in early accessthis year with two of four planned factions. The first big update will introduce a proper seasonal cycle for plant growth, with associated temperature variables. As a project, it’s certainly a lot, and I suspect that a fair few of the more elaborate ideas here will wither away in the course of development. But I do applaud the ambition on show, especially from a team without much of a reputation for original projects, and I’m hopeful that all these moving parts will give rise to stories that feel like more than just another set of dominoes, waiting to fall.
