THIS is the most fun new city builder I've played all year - Urbek City Builder!

Have you been looking for a new city builder? You might want to give Urbek a try! Urbek is kind of like a mashup of Simcity and Timberborn, with some pixel art graphical flair borrowed from Minecraft... and I love it! It's truly unlike any other city builder that I've played... and that's a good thing!

Edit - second video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqO4hZJoorxojpI No longer on sale, but still a great deal for $16.99. Check it out - store.steampowered.com/app/1411740/Urbek_City_Builder/ Oh no, I have revived the bad end screen! Sorry everyone!

[@justingurley3059]

No worries. Oh any idea of the scenarios play through?

[@djrakman3909]

Does it run on anything that can handle cities skylines on low specs?

[@mqxogames]

@@djrakman3909 Just from the sheer level of graphics I imagine it'll run fine if you can run Cities at all, but just to make sure I've checked the recommended specs and it should be fine.

This reminds me a lot of Banished which also has resource management in lieu of money. Banished is another game you should play and feature on your channel.

[@AdamEmond]

I love how the homes have different upgrade paths based on what is nearby. Cities Skylines could use something like that.

[@CityPlannerPlays]

💯💯💯💯

[@marcozolo3536]

Skylines always fell short for me. Good graphics, poor gameplay mechanics and implementation

[@japes7]

Yep the most lacking thing is variability in areas based on conditions. It's all just almost the same and stays that way.

[@flashcamping]

@@marcozolo3536 Well, skylines is a beast if your willing to enter the mod world. But it's more of a simulation than a game, imo. i love it. Depends on what you wanna get out of it i guess. This one seems a cool one.

[@justinsinke2088]

This could indeed be cool to see more of actually. In a way, it's also part puzzle game as you work out not only what sorts of resources you need, but how you want your city to look; if you want X building, it needs Y and Z things nearby, so getting what you want, where you want, in the quantity you want sounds like it could be a really engaging design puzzle (especially if you're not too worries about maybe demolishing a few blocks every now and then to start the houses back at square one to try for a different upgrade path). Unlike most other city builder games where if you want something, you just place it once you've unlocked it, here you have to thoughtfully look at "what needs to be in the vicinity to have what I want develop", which if I'm understanding this right could mean you have chains of development types to get just what you need. This is a game I can easily see loosing myself in.

[@Stop_arguing_with_strangers]

Whole lotta reading there, chief. I agree with the first few sentences tho

[@CityPlannerPlays]

Absolutely! I've only played late-stage once and it really gets challenging! If you want to keep progressing, you really have to get efficient and understand what you want out of your city. If you move the wrong building, the whole thing falls apart!

[@CityPlannerPlays]

Oh my goodness - that's awesome! Thanks so much for sharing this! The game has so many useful shortcuts that I need to get better at, but this might be one of the most important ones!

[@alundril]

@@CityPlannerPlays yeah it was part of the farmhouse tutorial, although one would assume it was only for the farm but it works for everything.

[@ElMarcoh]

It's funny how I discovered the developers of this are from my home country, I noticed some cultural distinctiveness on the low tier buildings like the fisherman houses or the fact that streets have pavement sidewalks before the actual street is upgraded to pavement, lol so I looked into their twitter profile xD

[@CityPlannerPlays]

[@radfoxuk8113]

It does make a lot of sense in the real world too, as pedestrian and cycle traffic cause essentially nil damage to paved areas, making repairs very rare, which is not so for the vehicle sections, which generally incur constant damage, it's usually cheaper, and faster, to repair a dirt road, than to repair an asphalt or cement road. It also encourages pedestrian and cycle traffic, enables disabled people, and saves money on drainage, as less paved areas allows rain to clear faster.

[@zatoichiMiyamoto]

yep i noticed that too, Chile is such a beautiful country full great people, geetigs from Chile.

[@Panchoproductions2069]

I'm from chile and I'm very proud of the talent of our devs

[@JamesBeaucoup]

I think the slightly simpler mechanics of this game, along with the min/maxing would make this game a really good addition to the channel to go along with the more "complicated" City skylines videos

[@JorisKoolen]

The fact that this is not about money, but about sustainable growth through managing natural and human resources, is what the world needs right now.

[@Mattonrouge]

I 100% would like an entire series of this pretty plz. 10/10 would watch again.

[@nerdjuice32]

Older gamers may remember this 'upgrade building with nearby utilities/amenities' mechanics from the Caesar games. I'm glad to see it again. Caesar 2 I think was my favorite. #3 was the first 3d and was decent, but lacked the same magic, imo.

[@theretromillennial]

I just commented before seeing this, but I agree. It reminds me of Pharaoh and Caesar 3.

[@NecroxProduction]

The first game that popped in my mind when I saw this was Caesar 3. I think you are mistaking 3rd with 4th. 3rd was probably the best and 4th was the 3D one.

[@TheRockofEasyCo]

This seems a lot more digestible than city skylines. I can’t manage a lot at once, so something simple is nice. Like kingdom and castles.

[@perisemiotics3204]

it's actually the opposite :P C:S is almost a free sandbox, money isn't really an issue, but Urbek is a constant three-pronged tug of war between resources, growth, and space, but that's where the fun is... it's a puzzle disguised as a city builder, a well-made disguise at that too!

Would love to see a 10-15 ep run! Maybe more, if the gameplay stays engaging at larger pop. sizes. Seeing a longer series in general, outside of C:S, could give the channel some variety spice!

[@CityPlannerPlays]

[@davidinark]

I was recently gifted this game from a friend, and I just wanted to say that your video is WAY easier to understand than the tutorial in the game. I got hung up on tenement houses during the tutorial because it doesn't explain very well how/where things should be placed. Your video is great and I can't wait to watch the others in this series!

[@bwc1976]

This looks great! I love how the roads and houses automatically upgrade themselves in response to various types of growth. What kind of jarred me though, was seeing cars from the very beginning before you had electricity or even churches. It would be kind of nice to start with horse drawn wagons until the technology catches up enough for cars to truly be widespread. I wish I could bring a city through 1700's and 1800's technology before finally getting electricity, cars, and all the other modern stuff. But it still looks like a very fun and original take on the genre.

[@thedisso]

I got this game like one and a half week ago, it's pretty fun, relaxing and wholesome. For anyone considering it, this playthrough shows pretty much what I would consider the early game. The endgame has pretty much the same dynamics, but more resources and advanced buildings that have more specific requirements as well. This game provides a building diversity (including green buildings, artistic neighborhoods, commercial highrises and so on) that even Cities: Skylines matches only through DLCs. And yep, bulldozing and roads are free, so in the end if you need to remodel in order to reach the goals set by the game, you can do it as long as you have the resources. Awesome video, I'd love some more!

[@Crackability]

oh my god. I did play the early access of that and i forgot its about to release! (or its about to idk i dont check up on the news much) its a very cool game but sadly they limited the area, the pop and a lot of other stuff so i couldn't experience it really. Its a very fun game! I hope you make more videos on it!

[@latitude01]

Nice to see how this game is shaping up! I played this game a while ago, and had a brief contact with the developer helping him turn some Chilean buildings from Concepción into voxel art. Glad to see it getting some recognition.

[@IBMboy]

The town looks so southern Chilean, the minimarkets and the fisherman houses

[@latitude01]

@@IBMboy The dev is from Conce, so the designs are mostly based from houses around him (as he told me), but don't catch me (a Northerner) calling Concepción the "South" haha

[@Dorei02]

It's amazing how this game shows some of the chilean culture in a subtle and organic way, that looks natural to people from outside but quite distinctive to us, like how the artist's district looks like Valparaíso or the fishermen huts looks something like from Chiloé or the fisher's Caletas, or the nightlife district to places like Barrio Brazil/Bellavista ^^ Also one of the maps is based on the Valdivian Rainforest and i dunno if Haciendas/Patronal Houses are exclusive to Chile or not xD

[@lighthawk4344]

Yeah, I'd like to see more of this. It looks really fun and has a unique style to it.

[@japes7]

What convinced me is the way that all the upgrades work and the style changes based on conditions. Love that you can have certain looks to areas and it gives different types of benefits.

[@urbek-citybuilder3753]

Thank you! I loved how you explained the mechanics :)

[@hirokoai3013]

I didn't expected to see the developer here, I played this game several days in a row, and I love how you can subtely shape a society out of a city. For example, between a food processing plant producing lots of food consumed by a network of grocery stores, or local markets with small cropyards, we can easily imagine how it can change the everyday life. I would like to ask two questions if you agree to answer. - The agricultural landscape in the game looks interesting. Basically, there are crops, regularily farmhouses, between them a sheer number of tenants linked to a patron, policies may change their functions, but that's the idea, not every city builder will represent agriculture organised this way. And there are planty of different agricultural organisations. In continental Europe, the system looks more like family farms organising in cooperatives (even if the cooperatives doesn't alway really represent the farmers, they are supposed to) and facing big transformation companies driving the prices down. In many parts of Asia and Africa, we can see straight up companies running fields. The United Fruit Company ran banana plantations AND tenant's villages all over central America. The system of farmhouses, tenants, patrons and industry you showed in the game, is it how agriculture is organised in Chile ? Where does it come from ? - As an anarchist, I was quite surprised to see how we can create an anarchist vibe over an entire city if we want to. As long as you accept to build some homes in very polluted areas (sorry comrades), you can begin to build anarchist pubs, bookstores, and even communes, and you can even with a policy teach anarchism in school. Not every political ideology has such a presence in any game, especially in a city builder, and even in this one, there is no fascist, royalist, transhumanist, feminist or even marxist buildings, policies and enclaves. There even is a whole resource - autogestion - linked to anarchism. How did you decide anarchism should have a specific space in this game ? Oh, and thank you for the game, I really enjoy it.

[@Santibag]

That "roads around building being upgraded" really gives Caesar III vibes. It was a good city building+strategy game, BTW. Old, but gold.

After a lot of time spent wrestling with Cities Skylines to try and tell some stories of naturalistic city growth around subsistence and industries, the way this game's upgrade paths allow characterful neighbourhoods and city layouts to just fall out of play is incredible!

Captain of industry, I highly recommend it. It is fun and quite challenging to play. Still in alpha access but it's gameplay, it feels that a lot of thought and balance has been put through. I've been playing the game for almost 3 months(given me having a busy a schedule) and it's still on the easiest possible setting and still I haven't get to finish every thing that is available at the moment. Combine urbek and city skylines, that's how captain of industry is. No money in game, it's all about how you manage your resources, population, pollution, and space available.
