“Times of Progress” is a City Builder game set during the Industrial Revolution. You control a city that is going through rapid change, due to the new technologies available and the leaps in productivity that they bring. BUILD YOUR CITY Place industries to extract the natural resources that the land offers. Connect them with the transport infrastructure and make sure that they have access to the local workforce. Progress towards providing secondary goods and services to your population, while balancing the issues that arise from the expanding city. TRANSPORT MATERIALS AND GOODS The transport infrastructure needs to evolve as the city grows. Goods are automatically transported by cart, but that is slow and inefficient. Build roads and railways to optimise the various routes, or reach new resources on the map by building harbours or tunnels. SATISFY THE NEEDS OF THE POPULATION As towns turn into cities, the needs of the population will evolve. Citizens at first need food and employment, but then will want consumer goods and services. Find the balance between their needs and the resources needed to satisfy them. Resources on the map are limited, so being able to trade with nearby cities will be essential for the sustainability of the city. HIGH REPLAYABILITY The game offers randomised starting conditions, upgrades and rewards to choose from, while the maps are procedurally generated. If a city doesn’t thrive, learn from the experience and retry with different conditions on a new map. Each run is a new learning opportunity towards the mastery of the game. FEATURES Procedurally generated maps Randomised starting conditions to choose from Quick and intuitive road and railway placement Automatic order and dispatch of products Modifiable terrain to reach new areas Trading mechanic with AI controlled cities High replayability
