Technicity: First-person city-builder is off to a great start on Steam


from Sarah Petzold
The new city builder game Technicity, in which we can build a huge city from the first-person perspective, has now been released on Steam. The first user ratings for the unusual mix of City Skylines and Minecraft are meanwhile positive – the title could therefore blossom into a real insider tip.

Anyone who has had enough of strenuous survival building and RTS games in which you only have to fight for the mere survival of your own civilization and instead longs for a relaxed building title should take a closer look at Technicity. The indie game has recently been available on Steam and is getting a lot of positive user reviews.

Fans praise creative freedom and Steam workshop

Technicity offers its players a 384 square meter open-world playground on which they can build an entire city. There is only a road network, we can and must design and build all the buildings ourselves. However, this does not work like in a classic city builder à la Sim City or Cities Skylines, but instead from the first-person perspective, similar to Minecraft. We build the individual buildings from special building blocks and objects, while terraforming the game environment according to our wishes. Once we have designed buildings, we can then save them as a blueprint and reuse them and share them with other players.

The game concept has been well received on Steam: A few days after release, the title has 87 percent positive user ratings. Among other things, fans praise the great creative freedom that the game offers, as well as the opportunity to share their own creations with the Technicity community via the Steam Workshop.

However, Technicity doesn’t seem to be a real hit yet, because the number of players is still quite meager. According to SteamDB, the title has only had 103 players who were online at the same time. The number of previous user ratings (40) gives a similar picture. Nevertheless, the title should be worth a look for those who like to experiment, because after all, Technicity including a 20 percent release discount currently only costs a slim 13.59 euros on Steam. And who knows, maybe there really is a real insider tip here?
