Buildings Have Feelings Too - Gentrification Simulator

... I'm slightly concerned that the butcher wants fresh veg from the grocer, but friendly locals will do.

[@Pancoleon]

the art of this game is really pretty, but all these buildings that are obviously meant to be terraced standing completely separate from each other hurts to look at

[@KatastrophicNoodle]

If the buildings slotted in next to each other seamlessly it would be an instant sell for me. They could've done it too, like they grow legs when they move but when they're still they sit down and put their appendages away and snug next to each other.

3:24 Jon, with his -1 perception, doesn't realize that the tall offices can be grocers, and instead builds an entirely new building

[@W0lfguard1997]

Jon, Jon never changes.

[@ImTheSecretSquare]

I was watching him doing that thinking, “I must be missing something, he’s literally scrolling right over grocers…”

[@sirdeakia]

John has 100% put all his points in charisma to get claire, and perception was completely left empty

This must be a nightmare for the mayor to deal with.

[@crickett3536]

Imagine the City: Skylines Mayor in a zoning fight with Building God. It would become a brawler 😂

[@5Andysalive]

@@crickett3536 Imagine living in a reasonable city and suddenly some sort of mad planning god peppers it with one-way roads and roundabouts...

That building looks exactly like what I imagine Jon looks like

[@rocketterrier]

"it could be blue or it could be red" jon are you perhaps colorblind

[@neonbunnies9596]

The little conversations between the buildings are so cute

[@BTBSOUNDS]

Jon you need to play Mark of the Ninja at some point, it's your type of game and youd love it. From story to gameplay, it screams you

[@sidneysun5217]

this is what i imagine the UK looks like

[@epicurius1]

This game, interestingly enough, reminds me a little of Reus, which I thought Jon played in the past, but I can't find on the channel. In the game, you control four gods/monsters; one builds forests, one builds swamps, one builds deserts, and one builds mountains. Your job is to help civilization grow and develop on the planet, by making sure they're well fed and rich and happy and so on. They get food and wealth and happiness by gathering things from near their village, so you and your god/monsters have to develop the terrain around it. But the thing is, resources might only evolve if the right preconditions are met and there are the right synergistic relationships. So, for instance, a bird might evolve to a better type of bird (and provide more food for the town) only if it's next to berry bushes. So you always have to think, not just of the changes to the space you want to change, but to all the spaces near it.

[@1okie908]

Nerdcubed played it a little while ago, maybe you were thinking of that?

[@epicurius1]

@@1okie908 Maybe. Not sure. It is a fun game, though.

[@AdmiralNMR]

it's a nice game, although the entertainment value wore off rather quickly for me. I did get it because nerdcubed played it.

Gotta say, I'd be in a constant state of restlessness, living in a house that's randomly just strutting around town on its own... 😱

Hey, free local travel and transport without the expense!

Game: Has a style designed to evoke Belfast and Irish cities in general Jon: "I guarantee you he's got some comical British accents going on" Jon making some bold statements

[@mattevans4377]

I don't why, but now I'm imagining a story where a building goes around to different places to find it's meaning in life.

I'm already looking forward to the inevitable Brutalism expansion.

Must be weird being an egg carton playing a building.

[@TauAlphaVu]

I'm truly astounded that Jon thought that Misspelt Signage could possibly be a good thing.

[@cochemoche]

If there ever is a sequel, they should name it Buildings Have Feelings. Then it'll seem that the original was the sequel, and the sequel is the original.

[@Scott_Forsell]

Please no one-way streets and roundabouts!

[@siechamontillado]

Jesus, not even a minute and this is the most adorable thing ever seen! I just want to pet the head of some of the buildings and let them know it's all going to be okay, and would they like a cup of tea and a biscuit?

smh not even seeing the grocers option on the tall buildings??

The art style in this is cute. on a side note, I wonder if John ever fiddled with House Flipper?

Several times. Did a lot of livestreams of it, garden flipper, and the thieving version of the game too.

[@leomarsala5905]

Ah Gentrification the most moral thing you can do I Did the funny and cause Chaos

[@matthewslentz5481]

I don't understand gentrification and white flight. If a white person moves to a majority minority area, it is gentrification, but if they move away from a majority minority area, it is white flight. So my question is, when is it ok for white people to move, because these two definitions seem to imply that white people moving is inherently bad. I'm open to debate.

[@Emsicle3D]

@@matthewslentz5481 I think the whole 'gentrification' thing is mostly about living costs increasing because white people are moving into the area. Basically, it's not that white people are moving in, it's the systemic bullshit with economics that happens when white people move in.

[@milkshakebarrage9581]

Americans find the most absurd things to moralize out of boredom. Truly a remarkable people.

[@Tarantulah]

@@matthewslentz5481 Gentrification isn't 'a white person moving somewhere' it's the instalation of facilities and renovation of buildings with the intent to increase house prices and get richer (often white) people to move into a neghbourhood and price out the poorer (often racial minorities) residents that already lived there (who often don't even get the benefits of higher house prices since they're renting or they were bought out of the area before the increase) White flight is a systemic relocation of white people from an area that is becoming more racially diverse in order to basicly enforce segrigation after it was no longer the law mostly in the 50s and 60s. This would allow things like reduced funding to schools would then be almost entirely attended by people of colour by racist governments I will provide the disclamer that I am A) white and B) not a historian or academically studied up on these topics. That being said neither gentrification nor white flight reffer to the individual act of a white person moving (though it can contribute to the systemic changes)

[@matthewslentz5481]

Because white people are, on average, wealthier?
