The Story Behind Avenue Age,

City-building games used to trust the player.

They weren’t about clicking endlessly or chasing arbitrary meters. They were about planning, people, and consequences. Roads mattered. Services mattered. Where you built something mattered — and if you ignored your workforce or your infrastructure, your city felt it.

Over time, that style quietly faded.

Avenue Age exists because I wanted to bring it back.

A Modern City, Built on Classic Principles

Avenue Age is a modern city builder inspired by the systemic depth of classics like Caesar III, reimagined in a contemporary setting. Instead of overwhelming the player with noise or micromanagement, the game focuses on a few powerful ideas:

Cities grow because people live and work there

Services don’t magically function — they need staff

Coverage, proximity, and planning matter more than raw building count

Bigger buildings require deliberate space and intent

Growth should feel earned, not automatic

Every system in Avenue Age is designed to deliver clear cause and effect. When something works, you know why. When it doesn’t, the solution is visible — not buried behind menus.

What You’re Playing Is Real

Avenue Age didn’t start as a pitch deck or a concept mockup. It started as a working prototype.

Today, the game already includes:

A fully functional isometric city grid

Road networks with real vehicle traffic

Population and workforce systems

Tiered housing that upgrades based on services and access

Water, education, parks, and community buildings

Distribution centers with strategic operating modes

A clean, readable interface built for clarity

This Kickstarter isn’t funding an idea — it’s funding the time needed to turn a solid foundation into a finished game.

Why Kickstarter?

Building a systems-driven city builder takes focus.

Kickstarter allows me to work on Avenue Age full-time, polish what already exists, and expand the game responsibly without compromising its design. Rather than rushing features or overpromising scope, the goal is steady, transparent development with regular updates and player feedback shaping the future.

I believe the best city builders are built with their communities — not behind closed doors.

Where the Game Is Going

With your support, development will focus on:

A complete economy loop with monthly income and expenses

Goods flow and logistics

Expanded services and safety systems

Advanced housing tiers and city desirability

Performance, balance, and long-term polish

A Steam Early Access release with an active roadmap

The vision is not endless sprawl — it’s meaningful growth.
