I was just looking into city builder games this weekend, after having binged on SC4000 for two weeks. There are actually a lot of new city builder games on the market, but their focus is mostly more narrow than the original SC series.
Demo ( https://game.cytopia.net/ ) is broken.

I love those city building games, especially with this gfx style. 3D simply does not work for me.
As already posted twice in this thread, i love theotown, but what theotown lacks is a proper traffic simulator. It just feels not right. What theotown also does not handle well is the subway system. It feels very basic and is not really necassary for developing a large city.
Looks quite similar to OpenTTD (https://openttd.org).
The mac binary is named `cytopia-osx`, but interestingly the latest OS X (Catalina) is unable to run it. Cytopia actually requires OS 11 or higher.
It looks a lot like Theotown https://hi.theotown.com/
Extemely nice project. But from the looks of its Subreddit, not much is going on community-wise.
How developed / mature is this compared to the SimCity games?
Any way to download binaries? The build process on Linux seems a little involved...
There's something off about the graphics, and I think it's the fact that the game doesn't use 1:2 ratio (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isometric_video_game_graphics#...) for the X and Y axes. It's especially noticeable on the edges of the roads, which go "wibba-wobba-wibba-wobba" instead of having uniform thickness.
I'm trying to build a game with item manufacturing, a bit like a mix of factorio and sim city, with logistics and other stuff.
I never really played transport tycoon. I tried, but it felt quite overwhelming.

Very nice to see this genre is alive and well! Looking good, and I look forward to seeing the progress on Cytopia :D
