Builders of China - Devlog #17 - "Poor and rich, water and ground"

[h2]Let's learn some more about the buildings that you will build in our game![/h2]



We're going to start, however, with our best wishes for everyone celebrating Lunar New Year! It's the year of the Tiger and as per our tradition we've prepared another postcard for the occasion - you can enlarge it by clicking with your right mouse button on it and opening it fully on another window/tab. We hope that you like the art as our artists made sure to make the tiger both admirable and solemn! We simply think it's amazing and we hope that you will have a splendid time celebrating Lunar New Year!

Now, let's talk about buildings!



We're working on few specific systems regarding most of the housing buildings - spaces where our citizens will be able to live and go about their business. Those two systems are presented on the screenshot above in a grid.



First of the systems is designed to showcase differences between houses depending on the type of terrain you're building on. Foundation of our building will look different based on the type of ground that you're trying to create the building on. That means that buildings can look a little bit different if your construct them on mountains area than the same buildings placed on water. That means that you will be able to construct some of the buildings in very different environments showcasing the sould and heart of the people living in the area - no matter what kind of difficulties they face on, they always can find a proper solution!



The buildings will also be different from each other depending on the wealth of their citizens. Currently we're working on 3 different levels showcasing various states of wealth. The bigger wealth your city and citizens own, the better the buildings will look like - subsequently the poorer you are the more it will show. Buildings come in three varieties - poor looking wooden shacks, regular tidy houses and lavish beautiful constructions. Depending on your actions the citizens will either live in comfort... or in shame.

Thank you for checking in with us - make sure to wishlist the game and see you in the next devlog!

Best regards,
Builders of China Team
