Dev Bytes #4
[ 2020-10-30 05:00:24 CET ] [ Original post ]
We are on our 4th Dev Byte now! And this one is gonna be a cryptic one. So make sure you sharpen your detective skills for this as this is gonna be a tight-lipped affair. The topic for todays Dev Byte is Businesses!
In City Block Builder, you are offered a plethora of options to set up shop in many different business categories. You have 2 paths that you can follow. You can start off slow with the Campaign (Story) Mode and take on one business at a time as the game progresses. But if you are a connoisseur of tycoon games, you may want to jump directly into the Sandbox Mode and start dazzling into all businesses at once. Either way, you are guaranteed to have a business empire consisting of more than half a dozen businesses running at the same time.
The story mode will enable players to start their journey by building a cinema first. Ample research and some story progress will help you move on to the next business, which depending on your research tree path, can be a restaurant, a drive-thru or something entirely different. In CBB, you are in complete control of your business plan as well as the strategy you intend to implement. The story offers a non-linear progression and, barring a few story-driven choices, is entirely decided by you.
Each business has its own research tree and a set of items that can be used exclusively only for that enterprise. The common items are universal and can be used everywhere. There are common zones as well, which you can place inside each business complex. A feature of CBB that is unique in the tycoon games genre is the ability to create a chain of your business, i.e. a franchise. Not only that, you can even host multiple businesses in the same plot of land (as we mentioned in an earlier Dev Byte).
As for the list of businesses you can run, we wouldnt want to play foul and reveal everything without even giving a spoiler alert. So, Spoiler Alert! Nah, just kidding. Although, we do plan on leaving one riddle per blog from now on to reveal our businesses and maybe you can guess the businesses that youll get to run, ruin, or just about everything else.
So for today, well keep things simple and reveal the first 2 confirmed businesses in City Block Builder:
1. Something different to show every week, still the same place. If you're eating, it's probably butter that you taste.
2. A little bit of everything to offer, and the entire world to visit on a single date. But try to visit all at once, and you might end up with a lot on your plate.
There you go, good luck and let us know if you cracked the code. And keep your wits about you to crack the riddles next time as well!

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!
