In fact, a Viking-themed builder is currently in development by another person working alone. Developers working alone on titles like this is nothing new to the city-building genre. Although the analytics of Silicon City seem in-depth, in visuals and in gameplay, Polycorne Studio claims to “ revisit classic game mechanics.” Aurélien Jacquot is a solo Indie developer who has worked “ alone and relentlessly” on the game between 2016 and September 2020 and is finally able to release a demo of the project.

An election system also raises the stakes for the player, making the moods of the citizens a primary focus on continual advancement. This improves on SimCity’s mechanic where the input of Sims informed the player on ways to improve.

There is a distinct focus on the “ silizens” of Silicon City with an in-game Twitter feed that offers the player insight on how their citizens are feeling or evolving. Silicon City seems much simpler than what players find in Cities today and may appeal to purists of the genre who first explored city-building with SimCity. As revealed in a press release and a brand new trailer on Polycorne Games‘ YouTube page, Silicon City is entering early access next month.
