Ocram's Razor: Though "more things shouldn't be used than are necessary," they're just too fun to pass up! Expect many verbose arguments from me. I will try to write abstracts before or short summaries after from now on.

Words to live by:
"Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit... But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually..." 1 Corinthians 4-11
"Do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34
"Do not judge so that you will not be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you." Matthew 7:1-3

    We're sufficiently far along that now we can show off some of the HUD UI and some city backdrop :)

    OK, first off here's a zoomed-out version showing off a campus of three buildings under construction:

    Now let's zoom in on some individual tenants:

    Finally, our tribute to Caillebotte: a small office building; rainy day :)

    I love seeing your progress! Just wondering, why does it seem like medical secretaries (doctor and dentist office reception desks) have 21st century laptops?

    Arise, thread! :)

    Sorry for the delay in updates, we've been busy working on things like UI, which are necessary but not exactly exciting :) 

    But no worries, here are a few more recent screenshots. First off, we've been working on public art: can I get a hand for this awesome fountain?

    And here's what we've got in store for our tenants - some retail stores! Hah! They'll never expect that.

    With apologies for the atrocious puns, I promise more next time around :)

    A Yoot Tower nostalgia trip. You've done those games of my past justice, and then some! Keep up the fantastic work!

    Thank you! Those old sim games were definitely amazing, especially considering how little compute power they had to work with! :)

    Various members of the YouTube Let's Play communities were given prerelease/beta copies of Project Highrise. 

     

    Here is Quill18's video because he is my favorite and keeps his videos Safe for Work and kid-friendly.

    Nice!

    I forgot all about this game until I got an email from Kalypso Media the other day saying that Project Highrise will be on Steam this summer. Can't wait to check it out more...

    Hi everybody,

    I just wanted to follow up and mention that we released this game on Steam! (http://store.steampowered.com/app/423580/)  

    It was officially launched in September, and we've been working on adding and expanding on it based on community feedback. 

    Thank you all for your kind words about the game and your support! Very happy that it's out now and people can enjoy it. :)

    And now just to end with our official teaser trailer video. Enjoy! :D

    Project Highrise is fun and relaxing. It gets a tad bit repetitive if one always builds the same way so I started to play the scenarios and I thought I'd make a multi-tower (2 or 3) project.
