Polycorne has developed the user interface promised at the beginning of Silicon City! After a year of design and development, the Silicon City UI finally reveals its face.
Made for all types of resolutions, the UI is scalable and modular. It allows you to display, close or minimize information windows of your city. More room to play, more room to rule!
Building a quality user interface is a process that requires maturation for a development studio. This update is by far the most significant improvement we've made to Silicon City for the small Polycorne team! Almost twelve months ago, our lead UX designer Léa Medrano started the first drafts of this interface. Today we are proud of the colors given to the game and of this integration, along with the updates made since.
We have sought to provide players with a game experience that:
Jaz Lyn has understood us well. They won't be disappointed!
"Understanding precedes action." - Richard Saul Wurman
TED Talk creator and Aiga Gold Medalist (the most prestigious award in communication and design): Wurman confirms with his words that our decisions are made on our ability to understand the information around us.
Silicon City is a management game where information is the key to optimal urbanization. By mastering it, you are able to make decisions to manage your city... Or to simply keep an eye on how your population is doing.
This update is available for download if you have already purchased Silicon City. But if you're still wondering what all these features are, take a look at this list:
Our beta testers gave us their feedback on this update, here's what they said:
We can see the inspiration of the excellent Open TTD but this time it's on a real city builder! The best of the best for a management game."
I like that it's much more spacious."
Most of the streamers who shared their experience of Silicon City warned us, we listened well. From now on, the bottom left corner of the screen is free of everything so we can see them playing the game with ease.
We embrace GamerZak who was one of the first to stream about Silicon City and to point out the importance of the user interface. He announced Silicon City as the winner of the most anticipated city builders of 2022! Come and vote for Silicon City and discover his blog here
