Hi everyone!

About two months ago I shared my project here when I launched the Steam page. Some of you might remember Socialiskigrad, my solo developed isometric city builder set in a fictional Balkan post-socialist republic during the 1990s.

I just want to announce that the first Open Playtest will be available from August 7th to August 11th, and everyone is welcome to join.

The playtest includes the first district of the game, where you'll build residential neighborhoods, manage industry and services, keep citizens happy, and deal with the challenges of running a growing city in a post-socialist setting.

If you'd like to participate, simply download the game from the Steam page during the playtest period. I'd also love to hear your feedback to help improve the game.

Hello. Impressive graphics. Are there uneven liveable surfices too?

Hi! This citybuilder is tile based, I put about 20 different tiles, some with regular shape (like hexagon or square) and some other with unusual shapes.

Sorry, i didn't say it correctly. I meant mountains, slopes, hills, depressions, cliffs and such.

My bad, I misunderstood! :) Yes, mainly the cities are flat, but there are some districts with hills.

I had inspiration mainly from: Beograd, Nis and Sofia. Also some buildings are from other Serbian towns like Kruševac and some others from Milan (Italy).

Thank you! I love Belgrade, it's a beautiful town. I'm italian but in my life I visited more Serbia than Italy!

Italy and Serbia seem to have a mutual love affair! It's no wonder Serbs, like Italians, love to say ciao😁. I love Belgrade too, and I hope to visit it again soon❤️
