    If anyone has tried it please let us know your impressions!

    I'll provide a little more info about the game. The difference from SimCity is the amount of detail. We represent the income, spending, and happiness of each and every sim. Firms produce goods, which trucks carry to their points of sale. The entire city is built up piece by piece by your workers, using the appropriate materials, which you can buy or make on your own.

    In this respect we're more akin to Tropico. But we use trucks and roads to move things around the map, and travel distance is not *the* dominant factor to your city's productivity the way it is in Tropico. We are also trying to do a "closed" economy, where money is transferred always between two agents in the game -- instead of vaporizing $1000 to build a fire station, you pay a construction yard to do it, which in turn pays its workers, suppliers, owners -- these agents in turn spend it on things they desire, and so on.

    In the demo imports and exports are not closed in this sense. In a future version all trade will be with other players, or with a mega-distributor such as a game-master.

    The demo comes with a tutorial, with great voice-acting by an 18 year old kid!
