PicoTown is a city-building game made with Pico-8 inspired by classics like SimCity and new stuff like Cities Skylines.
It's my first city-builder after dropping Towny, a 3D moddable city sim game. I'm going to keep this small and simple so I will finish this during the jam.

Here's the game's set of buildings to build, along with natural elements. By the way, you can stay tuned by using the #citysimjam hashtag or #PicoTown on Twitter.

Got the basic code nailed down, time for the actual game.

Basic city display and crosshair nailed down.

A sample town for Devi Ever and co.

Generating the terrain.

How are YOUR crops growing, @PineconeGraphic?

Menus implemented.

Implemented the building menu and building.

Some humor never hurt anybody.

And even more humor...

Let's play spot the reference!

Like, I'm writing a totally embarassing song for PicoTown. Because bad music is better than no music for me.

Another sample city for Devi Ever and co.

Revamping the building system to be better and randomize the zone buildings.

MILESTONE 1 HIT! Now it's time to do the rest, like resident counting, taxes, energy and water usage and stuff.

Built a very kawaii city for Devi Ever and co. in Milestone 1 of PicoTown.

Added a new song to celebrate Milestone 1.

Working on Milestone 2 of PicoTown. Just see, the game actually counts residents now.

No Twitter and Itch.io... -1 energy. That means that there's no energy in the town!

A busy day in PicoTown. Everyone is going shopping.

Here's your City Stats screen.

Added a palette change option for daltonists, weirdos and other people. Not sure who will use it, really.

A title screen.

Oh, a bug. Forgot to call the repaletting routine.

Thanks to everybody that helped me during this jam (NMFS, Devi Ever, PineCone Graphic) for helping me endure this jam and finish up this game.

Did one last fix for the game. Added use for the fire stations, fixed the happiness bug, corrected a name of one building and increased the max speed.
