Update: v0.5.0

Hello, With this update, more resource types and mechanics are added. You have more control over the late game. And, overall game difficulty is easier now. The most notable changes are:

Mining feature; Removed "Material Industry" and added "Mine" instead. Now there are new types of building material resources; "Stone", "Coal" and "Cement". Mines extract natural resources that can be seen using the "Biome and Natural Resources" view mode. Natural resources are limited, when all resources are extracted, mines shut down. Also, you should keep in mind, mines cannot be demolished.
Seaport; Added new zone type - Seaport, and added a new UI panel to manage seaports. Seaports can only be built adjacent to the sea. You can trade any resources/products using seaports.
New management panel - "Manage Workers". You can limit or shut down an industry.
New management panel - "Manage Buildings". You can allow or avoid new buildings to be built over any zone type. So you can save or manage building materials. Also, It makes managing employment and population easier.
Tier system is removed. It was unnecessarily complicating the management. Now all kinds of people are able to work at any workplace.

All details are below. Thank you for your support and playing early access! Have fun!

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.
