Urbek City Builder looks like a traditional entry to the genre: you place buildings, cars and little people begin to scurry about, and you gradually expand your urban sprawl. The twist is that there's no money fuelling your construction. Instead, your city flourishes or not based on your ability to fulfil each building's resource requirements, which quickly turns progress into more of a puzzle than a management game.

It's out on Steam now, and you can find a trailer of its pretty voxel world below.

Hello Urbekites:

Thank you very much for your feedback, it allows us to quickly fix some bugs and add what is needed.

Here are the bundles we have:



[h3]BUNDLES[/h3]
TheoTown The Tenants Patron Scrapnaut

And here the additions and fixes to new version:

[h3]LOCALIZATION[/h3]

• Portuguese available 🇧🇷🇵🇹
  
• Lots of improvements in other languages
  

[h3]NEW BUILDING[/h3]

• Ship scrapyard: for the archipelago biome, allows to obtain iron in a not very efficient way, but useful in case you don't have access to iron in the early game.
  

[h3]UI[/h3]

• Large building names in the build menu are displayed in the correct size.
  
• When opening the pause menu with the Esc key, it always opens with the initial menu, not with the last opened window.
  

[h3]FIXED BUGS[/h3]

• The sea fishing variable is now displayed correctly.
  
• The sound of the easter egg building sounds only once when unlocking (not several times).
  
• keybinding for rotate now works properly
  
• Texts for achievement rewards have been fixed.
  

[h3]BALANCE[/h3]

• Two story library now unlocks at 8000 population and 5 modern houses instead of 1800 population and 5 modern houses (didn't make sense as modern houses unlock at 8000 population). Now that 8000 can help players know that they need to reach that population to think about unlocking it.
  
• art/nightlife neighbourhoods if they don't meet the requirements are downgraded to 1 or 2 story townhouses instead of being abandoned.
  
• Blacksmiths and Firewood heating reduction policies removed from desert :P
  
• In the desert biome no longer requires biomass to advance in the path.
  
• The advanced ferry is now pre-unlocked earlier, so that players can see that there is such a possibility later on.
  
• The Open Pit Coal Technological Mine no longer requires at least 1 Faculty of Engineering, so it is not abandoned when the faculty is upgraded.
  

And coming soon
[h3]WORKING ON[/h3]

• Japanese and Italian localisation 🇯🇵 🇮🇹
