SimCity is an upcoming city-building/urban planning simulation video game in development by Maxis, a subsidiary of Electronic Arts
Along with many of the cosmetic changes (such as up-to-date 3D graphics),
SimCity uses the new GlassBox engine. "We try to build what you would expect to see, and that's the game," explains system architect Andrew Willmott, meaning that visual effects such as traffic, economic troubles, and pollution will be more obvious. Two other new features are a multiplayer component and finite resources.
Unlike previous games in the series, the game will have non-orthogonal and curved roads and zoning areas that can conform to different road types.
Modules in
SimCity are attachable structures that can add functionality to existing user-placeable buildings. One example is the extra garage for fire stations, which can provide additional fire trucks for increased protection coverage.
