Hello! The third blog in our Dev Bytes series is here to give you some more juicy bits about City Block Builder. Today we would like to share with you the various facets of our Build Menu. So strap on your safety helmets coz its time to start constructing!
The Build Menu forms the foundation for your businesses. Everything that you can construct and/or purchase for your business can be found in this menu. This section allows you to furnish each lobby and zone completely from scratch, provided youve unlocked the items first.
The Build Menu not only houses the furniture and equipment but also wall paints, flooring and tiles. Each section has default and unlockable items, ensuring that the player always has the creative freedom appropriate to the story stage or experience level they are currently at. Not just that, the menu is divided into categories based on the usage of the items. For example, you can quickly find all items related to toilets and restrooms under Washroom and all of the patio furniture under Outdoor, while you can only find screens, speakers and projection rooms under Cinema.
Every item in the Build Menu is assigned a Quality Level and is unavailable until your business reaches that particular Quality Level. Every business starts at Level 1 and can be upgraded to Level 5 using the Research Tree System. Each Level earned unlocks a certain number of items in different categories. But more on that later ;)
Building efficient zones, beautiful zones or simply wacky wonders, the Build Menu is your friend as long as you look after it with research and customization. That concludes our tiny teaser section for the Build Feature. Next up, we will discuss the different zones in City Block Builder. So, hang in there, well be back soon!

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!
