Overview

LinCity is an open-source free city construction game. Unlike SimCity, players build specific industries, rather then zones. The game focuses heavily on managing an economy and research development, the first leading to the latter. The game also differentiates itself through finite natural resources, such as ore, that players must extract.

Gameplay

Players begin the game with only a few buildings unlocked, residential sections, farms, and communes (charcoal burners). By managing this limited economy, the player must earn money to run an education system. Once this is developed, more complex structures become unlocked such as blacksmiths, manufacturing plants (light industry and mills), steel mills (heavy industry), hospitals, cricket fields, and universities. The end-game goal of LinCity is to construct space shuttle launchpads and evacuate the planet, before resources run out. However, an alternate "victory" can be won through the construction of renewable energy power plants and recycling centers, if a sustainable economy independent of coal and ore is acheived.
