About Tile Cities:

Tile Cities breaks city building down to its very basics making it more of a simple puzzle.
Compose nice-looking city maps of randomly generated city blocks (tiles), match colored buildings and parks to meet demand, connect tram lines with depots to get bonuses.
Creative mode with no limitations is also available. In this mode you can regenerate random tile until you get the one you like.

This is a fantastic game to show how city planning is done on a council level. You can't (for the most part) tell people what to use the houses for, but you can make certain requirements for zones and built infrastructure. The colors in this (aside from green, which represents general quality of life features) are so-called lighthouse projects that you can (and must) plan for and/or around. The only thing that is still unrealistic (aside from the overt simplyfication, that is) is that you get to built a new city from scratch. That almost never happens anymore, so it would be cool if there was a second game mode where you have a city already "done" with 80% of the meter filled up and you get random pieces to _replace_ existing blocks. Maybe with the possibility of paying one point to replace two old blocks with one new, so you keep the (costly) option of reshaping the grid.

This seems to have a much more realistic city mechanic than the more advanced city building games even. They always encourage non mixed used and zoning for different purposes. The American type of "city" where you need a car for everything.

Looks like this is the way my city planners are using to determine where trams are needed

I wonder if You know the story behind this game. It was made by Yev, the dev behind Ostriv in his downtime when Russian invasion pushed him out of his home and he could no longer work on his main game because he had to leave his workstation behind. Tile Cities was a game created so that he does not stop working while he can still earn a living. He ended up using the money earned to support Ukraine in their war effort and even provided Ostriv and Tile cities as stress reduction software for ukrainian soldiers who have access to computers.

Didn't realize you were color blind. Good work keeping it relatively disguised this long.

I really do enjoy these simplistic city builders. Even if there's not much to them, I think it's a great way to experiment on concepts. I love the complexity of typical city builders and how much of a difference the right buildings make and their variety, but I do think there's a market for making the design aspect of them not simpler but more...organic.
My first real city strategy game was Tropico 4 because it was one of the only big hits that I could play on the Mac Desktop I had at the time along with Borderlands 2. I loved the 100+ hours I put into Tropico because it was a game someone like me could still enjoy even while only having a basic understanding of the mechanics the game tells you. It even had a very basic "Recommended" building prompt that if nothing else made it easier to select what you knew you had to build.
That said, I always found myself in skyrocketing debt in my sandbox games for a variety of reasons I can only really guess at. Dockworkers not getting to the boats on time so you build more docks that no one uses, teamsters taking forever to move goods so you build more of their buildings and increase wages but there's no one working them because everyone at near endgame for me was too educated for it, the list goes on.
The point of my tangent was that I wouldn't mind if more mechanics in city builders like traffic in Tropico 4 were more deterministic like they are in Tile Cities here. Like, I understand the purpose, benefit, and use of the metro lines here than I ever did than the ones in the Modern Times Tropico DLC. Oh, you need more purple in Tile Cities? Try attaching one to a metro line. Worker's not getting to where you need in Tropico? You can do -this, - this, - or -this- to fix it.
I think the idea of "gamification" of the minimalist, bare essentials of city building and then fleshing it out into a full fledged city strategy game is really worth pursuing.

Finally a city builder that rewards public transit and greenery.

From official website: "This game was made by the developer of Ostriv (🏝️) during russian invasion of Ukraine, as he had to flee his home with not much more than a cat and a laptop." 🇺🇦

The bottom left grid is an optical illusion, fantastic!

I feel like there should definitely be a global leaderboard and more maps with like waterbodies that need bridges and also some different gamemodes like one where theres like a 10 sec timer to place the tiles so that we can get more content out of this. Theer should also be soem different coloured buildings also.
