Your job as the architect and developer is to build world-famous skyscrapers that will be the envy of the entire city, masterpieces of art and engineering. But a skyscraper is more than just steel and glass, it’s an intricate ecosystem, full of people that live and work in the building. They become a complex machine that needs your steady hand to keep it running smoothly and efficiently.

"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

Was very young back then when i got my hands on SimTower. Only played it for a few hours i think. But i enjoyed what i played of it back then. I enjoyed the other "Sim XXX" and "Theme XXX" more though at the time.

Did you enlarge the screenshots and/or watched the trailer?!
IMO graphics look just fine for such a game. No need for some 3D graphics with UE4 or CryEngine.
@Bob Barnsen I still remember trying to reconstruct my hometown in the original Sim City. 'twere great gaming times.

I just wish that they will add idle animations for people working in rooms. So far they are just static. Makes the game look rather lifeless, even with people running in between rooms.

I guess they fear the game would be too demanding on current PC hardware, this is why there are no idle animations and the game looks like pure Shiiiiiaaaat.

I think that the art style (and by extension building) can best be described as "where dreams go to wither and die". So damned drab that you can almost smell the stench of the rat-race coming out of it.
I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

Yeah, doesn't look appealing at all. Very drab and almost looks like a cheap Flash game.
That was surprisingly positive indeed, the only downsides the he enlists are the lack of adequate information/feedback when the skyscraper is packed like an ants' nest, and the so-so visual customization options (easily fixable through modding which is supported).
It's a great game so far. Playing it slowly trying to get a good hang of everything. Different tenants have different needs and/or services needed. Pre-planning is required. I knew about evicting tenants drops the stars for prestige, but didn't know that destroying and moving a service does that too LOL

Yea, the current system is kind of limited. You HAVE to know ahead of time what's going to be needed where, because once you start demolishing restaurants/services to move them around and re-arrange shit your tenants/office workers fucking scatter.
Cool game, but not much thought put into the actual building system.

That was my fear when I saw all the gameplay. Quite a lot of building/managing games they create these days totally miss the ball on that. Well since that will never get fixed I guess I won't be playing this.
- Casinos – Entice people to come and part with their hard-earned money in style, with all new casinos.
- Hotels – Why do your visitors need to leave at all? Keep the business travellers and high-rollers rolling through, with rooms of all sizes that fit every need - but be sure to keep them happy as your ratings depend on it!
- Events & Shows – Bring in the best show in town, and attract crowds of happy visitors... and their wallets. Have them come in for the show, but stay for the food and the games.
- VIPs – Invite rock stars, comedians, or business gurus to come and perform at your venue – but just don’t expect them to come for free! The bigger the celebrity, the bigger the demands.
- Evolved Gameplay – Experience how the new location challenges your building skills, from new type of Air Conditioning utility, to special service elevators, NPCs, and more.
Beyond the sun, sand and surf that draw millions of visitors to Miami every year lies a glittering city of high-end shopping and dining. Create an opulent shopping mall with irresistible restaurants and chic shops to lure tourists away from those beautiful golden beaches. In the Miami Malls content pack, under the radiant South Florida sunshine, you’ll strive to establish a mall that rivals some of the world’s great shopping centers.
With 15 additional stores and restaurants, you’ll be able to create shopping centers that no longer need offices, apartments or hotels to draw in visitors. From sunglass stations and toy stores to salons and video game arcades, a wide variety of new retail and dining options await you.
The bus terminals and train stations in the Miami Malls content pack bring even larger crowds to fill your malls and shopping centers. Observation decks draw in droves of tourists who might just stop by a food court or a souvenir shop while they’re heading up to take in the panoramic city views.
What’s a mall without water features? Towering mall fountains look their fanciest when flowing in front of new arched glass and steel lobbies. And don’t forget the tropical flair with decorations and wallpapers themed to match the new Miami Malls stores and restaurants.
