Lincity NG

Lincity NG is an open-source city-building simulation in which players design, expand and manage their own urban environments. Roads, housing, industry, services and resources all have to work together if the city is going to remain healthy, making it considerably harder than simply placing buildings wherever they look nice. The game emphasizes economic and environmental management, giving players plenty of opportunities to discover that their brilliant industrial plan has created three new problems somewhere else. Its interface and presentation are deliberately functional, keeping attention on the simulation itself. For fans of classic city builders, Lincity NG offers a free and open alternative with enough depth to turn an innocent little town into a surprisingly complicated spreadsheet.
