Starting with an empty tract of land, you’ll build a town from the ground up using items from a variety of categories, including Terrain (grass, trees, roads, etc.) Homes (Tudor, apartment, ranch, etc.) Community Buildings (school, fire station, post office, etc.) Businesses (pizza parlor, grocery, radio/TV station, etc.) and Fun Places (arcades, zoo, etc).But once your town has grown to a certain size and you’ve added the same building of the same type again and again, there’s nothing really left to do. Just like in SimCity, you build roads, houses, buildings, etc., with a simple point-and-click interface that’s a snap to learn. An in-game newspaper will assist in these efforts by helping to keep the player up to date on what might be wrong in their city, or how they might be succeeding.SimTown is basically a kids' version of SimCity with complex features removed but fun intact. Specially constructed designer characters can also be made to populate the town, built to pre-defined specifications such as their preferred clothing and personal preferences.A number of awards can be gained within the game for exemplary achievements resulting from maintaining a balanced town for some period of time. Players can also take a closer look at their residents by 'removing' the tops of buildings and peering inside, watching their life unfold on a more minute scale. Those that favor specific types of restaurants will request them and objections will be made if the city is lacking in their preferred form of recreation.
Individual citizens will often offer suggestions and make demands of the mayor and so a close eye will have to be kept on their opinions of how the city is being run. In order to finance all of this consideration will also have to be paid to the player's limited resources of water, wood, and crops, which rejuvenate only so quickly.Interacting with the populace will also be crucial to success. While each building has its own associated costs and benefits they're often marginal enough that a player's selection will often be as much an aesthetic consideration as a functional one. As such it features a much more stylized, cartoon representation and user interface, a number of added features allowing for greater interactivity with the populace, and a simplified system of resource management.As their first priority as mayor players will simply need to construct a town, supplying not only housing for their residents but employment, schools, and civic buildings as well Roadways and bike paths being needed to connect them all.
#SIMTOWN ANDKON ANDKON SERIES#
Being aimed at a younger audience than that of the other games within the series a greater emphasis is placed on managing a small, socially ideal town than a sprawling metropolis. As in prior installments, players are tasked as the mayor of a newly formed municipality, taking charge of it's expansion and success. SimTown is one of several entries in the city-building simulation series, SimCity.
