Have you been looking for a new city builder? You might want to give Urbek a try! Urbek is kind of like a mashup of Simcity and Timberborn, with some pixel art graphical flair borrowed from Minecraft... and I love it! It's truly unlike any other city builder that I've played... and that's a good thing!

    I love how the homes have different upgrade paths based on what is nearby. Cities Skylines could use something like that.
  • @alundril
    you can press alt when you want to build over existing building. no need to bulldoze
  • @justinsinke2088
    This could indeed be cool to see more of actually. In a way, it's also part puzzle game as you work out not only what sorts of resources you need, but how you want your city to look; if you want X building, it needs Y and Z things nearby, so getting what you want, where you want, in the quantity you want sounds like it could be a really engaging design puzzle (especially if you're not too worries about maybe demolishing a few blocks every now and then to start the houses back at square one to try for a different upgrade path). Unlike most other city builder games where if you want something, you just place it once you've unlocked it, here you have to thoughtfully look at "what needs to be in the vicinity to have what I want develop", which if I'm understanding this right could mean you have chains of development types to get just what you need. This is a game I can easily see loosing myself in.
  • @ElMarcoh
    It's funny how I discovered the developers of this are from my home country, I noticed some cultural distinctiveness on the low tier buildings like the fisherman houses or the fact that streets have pavement sidewalks before the actual street is upgraded to pavement, lol so I looked into their twitter profile xD
  • I have a special place in my heart for games developed by ONE person
  • @JamesBeaucoup
    I think the slightly simpler mechanics of this game, along with the min/maxing would make this game a really good addition to the channel to go along with the more "complicated" City skylines videos
  • This seems a lot more digestible than city skylines. I can’t manage a lot at once, so something simple is nice. Like kingdom and castles.
  • @nerdjuice32
    Older gamers may remember this 'upgrade building with nearby utilities/amenities' mechanics from the Caesar games. I'm glad to see it again. Caesar 2 I think was my favorite. #3 was the first 3d and was decent, but lacked the same magic, imo.
  • @JorisKoolen
    The fact that this is not about money, but about sustainable growth through managing natural and human resources, is what the world needs right now.

    22:12 Monday Morning Mulligans 27:17 Respecting the Topography Well done CPP! They blended in so well with the rest of the music I didn't even catch they were homemade until I saw the comments and I had to go back and give them a listen!

    I got this game like one and a half week ago, it's pretty fun, relaxing and wholesome. For anyone considering it, this playthrough shows pretty much what I would consider the early game. The endgame has pretty much the same dynamics, but more resources and advanced buildings that have more specific requirements as well. This game provides a building diversity (including green buildings, artistic neighborhoods, commercial highrises and so on) that even Cities: Skylines matches only through DLCs. And yep, bulldozing and roads are free, so in the end if you need to remodel in order to reach the goals set by the game, you can do it as long as you have the resources. Awesome video, I'd love some more!
  • Would love to see a 10-15 ep run! Maybe more, if the gameplay stays engaging at larger pop. sizes. Seeing a longer series in general, outside of C:S, could give the channel some variety spice!
  • @Mattonrouge
    I 100% would like an entire series of this pretty plz. 10/10 would watch again.
  • @Crackability
    oh my god. I did play the early access of that and i forgot its about to release! (or its about to idk i dont check up on the news much) its a very cool game but sadly they limited the area, the pop and a lot of other stuff so i couldn't experience it really. Its a very fun game! I hope you make more videos on it!
  • @bwc1976
    This looks great! I love how the roads and houses automatically upgrade themselves in response to various types of growth. What kind of jarred me though, was seeing cars from the very beginning before you had electricity or even churches. It would be kind of nice to start with horse drawn wagons until the technology catches up enough for cars to truly be widespread. I wish I could bring a city through 1700's and 1800's technology before finally getting electricity, cars, and all the other modern stuff. But it still looks like a very fun and original take on the genre.

    Nice to see how this game is shaping up! I played this game a while ago, and had a brief contact with the developer helping him turn some Chilean buildings from Concepción into voxel art. Glad to see it getting some recognition.
