really enjoyable game. its a pretty basic, chill time, which i really enjoy. Tho it definitely feels unfinished.

Dec. 2024

A good homage to some of the classics of the genre, hits the vibe of old-school Settlers. At time of writing, it needs a little more flesh on the bone, and some fine tuning to properly shine, but this is a really solid entry from a dedicated indie dev. I'll likely come back to check on this one, but for now have enjoyed what is available.

Aunque parezca que está muy parado, el desarrollador sigue añadiendo contenido cuando buenamente puede. Es un buen city builder y el compromiso que su autor está demostrando bien merece un puñado de euros.

Still in EA and seems not abandoned. In depth supply chain, hexagon, pixel art. It is so good that I actually think the retail price is too cheap, while I just bought it from summer sale. Edit: 2024-07-23 Game become slower when reaches 2K pop, while it does not fully utilize the CPU (3900X), GPU (3060 Ti) and RAM(64GB). Disabled weather effect do improved 25% FPS (20 -> 25, though).

June 2024

MicroTown scratches an odd itch between a factory sim, and city sim that I never knew I had. I first played shortly after early access began, and I've been returning for several hour sessions every major update. I really enjoy the addition of the trading posts, and hope the mechanic is further explored/realized. Either way, the dev(s) really know what they're doing. Excited to see what comes next!
