Update: v0.4.0

Hello, Here is another update that changes the feel of the game. The most notable changes are:

City improvements; Added new higher residential buildings, offices, parks and road improvements.
New food product; Added farm zone type and meat product type. Farms produce meat using agrifood.
New food balance; Overall food production rate is increased. Now early game is notably easier, but there are some more challanges on the mid game. Also food stock quantity unit has changed and numbers are bigger.
Tier system; Now people and buildings have tiers. People gain tier according to the houses they live in. People can work at the workplaces of the same tier or below. Also people of different tiers consume different amount of foods.

A new city will be established on a flat plain and its administration has been given to you. In order to keep the administration in your hands, the city needs to develop continuously.

Your role in this game is to determine where the buildings and structures in the city can be built. Time and moves in the game are turn based. Each move is given random zoning type to mark on the map. After you mark zones, you move on to the next cycle and observe the developments in the city.

You can unlock more advanced types of buildings and structures by completing in-game objectives. Completing objectives also allows you to use different map view tools that will make management easier.

There are five main types of zones you manage; residential, agricultural, commercial, offices and industrial. You need to constantly try to manage the distance between the zones, the density and the balance between them correctly. Otherwise, escapes from the city may begin, unused buildings may collapse on their own, and the city may collapse with a chain effect.

The main aim of the game is to keep the administration in your hands as long as possible by ensuring the continuous development of the city and to reach a high population. Losing control of the city is part of the game and it's up to you to try again to find the best way to keep the city constantly grow.
