In Development - A new Approach in the City Builder Genre

BERLIN - Jan. 28, 2018 - PRLog -- Playfield.Earth / Urban Management will be a mix of city building game and comprehensive city management. We want to go completely new ways in this genre.
The player does not have to build a city from scratch, he can manage, change and improve existing cities, districts, villages or metropolitan regions with all their characteristics, specifics and challenges. This cities and urban areas are based on real-world maps, geodata, structures and open data. Each settlement is unique and will convey that it has developed organically over many years, decades and centuries.

Playfield.Earth / Urban Management will offer different sub-gameplays (game modes) that simulate all aspects of urban development, city management and typical municipal government policies, much more profoundly than similar games do so far.

The planned sub-gameplays:

1. City Planner - A real sandbox for creative citybuilders and urban architects. Design and change villages, cities and agglomerations as you imagine it.

2. Traffic - As a leading traffic coordinator, you must ensure that public transport functions run smoothly, that traffic problems are eliminated and that the economy and tourism in the city benefit from an optimal long distance transport connections.

3. Public Safety - You are the commissioner of emergency services and public security in a city. You have to react quickly to situations, allocate forces and ensure the availability of personnel and material.

4. Society - You are in position of the Senator for Social Policy. You are responsible for making your city more worth living, more equitable, more sustainably, and maintaining social cohesion among the population.

5. Economy - You are in position of the Senator for Economic Policies and Infrastructure. You have to ensure that many good jobs will be developed in your community, gain investors, promote the local tourism and expand and maintain the fundamental lifelines of your municipality.

6. Mayor - You are in the role of a mayor and thus over all parts of the administration. You coordinate all political developments and processes, have to solve problems quickly and sustainably, and put your personal stamp on the structure, or skyline of your city

7. City- & Municipal Government - In this mode of PFE / Urban Management, you and your fellow players take over individual departments, individual districts of a city, or cities of a agglomeration. You must actively work together to develop the commune and solve problems.
