I love this game. The mechanics have a lot in common with the old sierra city builder games like "Zeus: Master of Olympus". It's really awesome and I'm very impressed by how much you were able to do in this time.

Thanks, I did take a bit of inspiration from those (especially the house upgrading), although their "walker system" is light years more advanced than this is lol. But one feature that I did cut from the game was directly inspired by Zeus - I did have an idea that there would be inter-town competitions with other mayors, like tests of friendship or beauty or fun challenges. On the other hand, I always wanted something where the people were not all the same in their wants. I was definitely more inspired by the Sims games in that respect, and in the decoration aspect. Anyways, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :)
