![]() Think of the City Narrative as a marketing piece. The purpose of the City Narrative is to give me a quick overview of the future city’s infrastructure and its public services. You will need to make a presentation with a written a narrative (maximum 500 words) describing your future city’s key features and design attributes. So what is the submission aspect of this (what do you need to hand in to me)? You can record your game play (on something like Bandicam) all of this is for the report/presentation (to me). How can you keep a track of things while playing? You can do this by taking screen captures of your game play and then writing things down or speaking them into an audio file. What types of transportation will be available to move citizens and goods?.How will you manage pollution (water and air) in your city?=.How will your city dispose of waste and recycle?.How will you make sure all areas of your city have water?.How will you provide power to all areas of your city?.What kinds of parks and recreation areas will be in your city?.What services (police, fire, medical, education) will your city provide? Where will you place them?.How will your city pay for infrastructure and basic services?.How will you lay out your city? What kinds of industrial, commercial, and residential areas will you build? Where will you build them?.As you build your city, use these questions to help design a city that is well planned: ![]() One way to determine what to build, where to build, and how much to build is to list all the possible requirements a city’s citizens might have. So, for this project, I will need you to build a city and as you play, you’ll need to keep a track of what you did, why you did it and what the results were. You can play this version on your phone or tablet and there are some services that allow you to play it on your pc at home as well. Please do not purchase SimCash…since you’ll be doing this game over time you do not need to speed things up. ![]() SimCash, is the in-game currency that can be used to buy more Simoleons (fictional game money that is used to purchase missing items needed to upgrade buildings or speed up the construction of things “in-game”). I DO NOT WANT YOU SPENDING MONEY FOR THIS PROJECT OPTION. BUT… like for all “free” games you’ll get the basic entry, but a premium (AKA money) is charged for additional features, services, or virtual (online) or physical (offline) goods that expand the functionality of the free version of the software. ![]() You have a plot of land, you section off some zones for residential, commercial, and industrial, and you start to grow your city. The concept of SimCity BuildIt is just like every other entry in the series (SimCity). I also know there is a “Freemium” version of “Sim City Buildit” for iOS Apple (at the Apple Store) and Google Android (at the Google Play Store) products. In January 2008, the SimCity source code was released under free software license and renamed to Micropolis. You could also play Micropolis online where you can save your game play. I have checked the SimCity 2000 from TechSpot (above) and it appears clean, however if you are unsure then just play it online. Please be very careful to check what site you choose to download a free version of the game from I do not want you to get malware on your computer. Now, you could download SimCity 2000 from TechSpot (Note: This game is for DOS and to play it on computers with newer versions of Windows you will need a DOS 'emulator' like D-Fend Reloaded). You can find tips and tricks for game play at: Zealgames, Dark Brick Abode, or GameBytes Magazine If you'd like to read how to play SimCity 2000, the manual for the game can be found here. If you choose to play the game online please note that you cannot save it, so this will limit your game play to one, possibly, very loooong experience (NOTE: If you own a copy of a newer SimCity, like SimCity4, that’s fantastic you should just play it). You can find out how to play it at: Now notice the name… “SimCity 2000” it’s old and slow, however it is easier to start with (especially with the videos and the tips and tricks below). If you choose the video game option, you can play the classic DOS game SimCity 2000 online at: If you use the SimCity software, you’ll need to design a virtual city that has progressed in the future and has a population of at least 50,000 residents. Your Urbanization project will be to either build a city with the computer game SimCity (or another program like it) OR you will design a city graphically on paper (rather than play SimCity) and then build a physical model of a section of your city.
