A dynamic soundscape

As the mayor moves through Silicon City, his ears can pick up the activity of the city. Pedestrians are talking in the street, cars are honking, industrial machine tools are echoing, the concert hall audience is cheering, ...

Everything is dynamic: the more dense a building category is, the more intense the sounds are. This complex system of dynamic ambience brings a pleasant and captivating immersiveness.

Immersive sound effects

A city never stays still for long, especially in Silicon City. Residents expand their homes or speak out, the mayor adds new infrastructure, restores parks and streets, and expands buildable areas.

All these actions now generate sound effects in line. The mayor sees but also hears the evolutions little by little.

Voices for the Silizens

They have all recently acquired a face, they now have an adorable little voice! We can then distinguish their level of happiness (happy, neutral or sad) by the sound during action in the city but also through the interfaces.

Patch notes

Thanks to the feedback from the community on our Discord server, we were able to make a lot of small fixes to the game and improve some things.
