Hello and welcome back for the next instalment of Dev Bytes! On todays agenda, we present to you some details regarding the setting of City Block Builder. City Block Builder is a unique blend of business meets domination. Your job is not only to run *a* successful business but in fact, multiple successful businesses. You are offered various disciplines to start your business in and how you conquer each sector is entirely up to you. Start with a cinema and climb your way up the business hierarchy by opening restaurants, cinemas, bars, bowling alleys and much more. But unlike a typical city management game, you just dont launch businesses, you manage them to the dot as well! You get to decide if you want only horror movies playing in your theatre (yes, we are all suckers for the horror genre) or if you want a Roman-style or Neopolitan style for an Italian restaurant. Maybe you want to start an early revolution in LA in the 1950s by opening the worlds first vegan restaurant. The options are endless and how you play the game dictates how the game plays out (see what we did there?). Even though the setting of the game is in the 1950s, you are given complete control over how your business looks, forging your path. Speaking from a dev point of view, you are given complete freedom in terms of location as well as the layout. The game allows the players to build different businesses and locations on the same plot of land as well as connect them through paths. Who knows, maybe you could build your own mall in the 1950s (those were a rare sight, mind you). Lastly, you can immerse yourself in the campaign mode, wherein we ensure that not only will you aim to create a successful empire, but also find out why and with whom. Or you can jump right into the thick of the action by playing the sandbox mode and letting your creative juices flow. More on that later, but we would love to hear your theories ;-) Thats all we are ready to divulge...for now. And as a reward for your continued support, we have added some tasty screenshots to our Steam page so dont forget to check them out! Theres plenty more to be announced so patience is key. Let us know what we should be revealing next in the Discussions and until then, stay tuned!

City Block Builder is a genre-blending tycoon game with city-building elements. Build your own Business Empire through an immersive game with easy to learn, but hard to master mechanics. Inspired by tycoon games of yesteryear, experience a tycoon tribute to the 50s. Build Cinemas, Restaurants, Bowling Alleys, Shops, News Stands, Drive-Ins, Jazz Clubs and more!
Every enterprise has its own customization capabilities based on its specifications. With the option to play a dedicated campaign mode or an open world sandbox mode, the choices are limitless. Time to start a business revolution!
Carve out a name for yourself in the City of Stars and experience the golden era of America! California has never looked better than now and is the dream of every American. Everyone wants to be in Tentwood, everyone wants to start something in LA. But only a few succeed. The glamour and lights are enticing. But all that looks hunky-dory isn’t necessarily that.
What secrets does the City of Flowers hold? What problems will Joey face? What awaits you in the business empire? Will you make friends of enemies? Is the war truly over?
Each business will have its own extensive research system with different nuances. Unlocking different parts of the research tree is based on their opportunity costs. Higher points unlock better rewards but you can adjust your goals for short term solutions. With the research approach in your hand, you are completely in charge.
Would you be the quick-fire businessperson? Or would you be the patient strategist? The world is your oyster and so is the growth of your business.
You meet Joey, a 1950s war veteran, who has dreams and ambitions to become a business tycoon. A charming individual with a colluded past, he aims to turn his business and LA around and needs your help. Animated and voice-acted characters with a comic book-styled story mode grace the campaign. You encounter interesting anomalies in the city. Joey seeks those answers just like you. Each decision you make has its own specific implications as the story grows.
Will you do anything you can to rise to the top? Staying true to your morals or bending the rules to your advantage, the campaign mode offers a playground for you to experiment and succeed. Try innovative schemes or stick to the tried and trusted methods and build a business mega-city.
An extremely user-intuitive sandbox adventure awaits those who want to jump right into the thick of the action. Explore the game and harness your creative juices into building an engine of a business. Manage, and micromanage every single detail of your empire and aim for the stars. The perfect blend of gameplay with freedom, City Block Builder is surely up to the task of quenching your thirst for curiosity!
Right from the furniture to the lights, from posters to advertisements, feel what it was like to live in that era of America. With the signature style of 1950s LA, experience the art and aesthetic of downtown LA. Interact with, build and place items that once were the staple of that era. Movie posters, food, glitz and glamour, immerse yourself with what’s in store for you!
