Let's Try: Project Highrise (A modern Sim Tower?!?) - Episode 1

[@Desrtfox71]

Just FYI, a "copy center" in a large facility (like a high-rise) is very much still a thing due to it being far more cost efficient than having individual machines on each desk. It's also usually vastly more capable due to the availability of high end devices, and considerably more secure as well.

[@GeneralMitch]

This is great more of this quill PLEASE!

[@TNTNinja2]

Yes!

[@thehobobunny9686]

Great video quill would really be interested in watching a series on this game from you

[@TNTNinja2]

Yeah!

[@MGomes1889]

Same

[@nickhuffman3177]

Same.

[@LordCucumber77]

Same!

[@thedukeofrockford2326]

I would like to see series too.

[@ArchAngelThomas]

I saw "Sim Tower" and clicked immediately. Time to watch the video and hope it's amazing.

[@Ycekhold]

I concur. I was a big fan of _SimTower_ back in the day, and having a spiritual successor to it being available now is quite cool.

[@JegoEXP]

I completely forgot about SimTower until I watched this video. Pretty cool, brought back memories from when I was in grade school.

[@FuriKitten]

there was also Yoot tower (after the sim tower developer) which was a more refined sim tower. I just hope they put uncle reggae in this one

[@tartaroshero2070]

My favorite sim as a kid.

[@blueyesoul3546]

I was just thinking about simtower the other day wondering why no one makes games like that anymore.

[@Cpt_DoDo]

Let's Try: Project Highrise 2 pliz! Need more :)

[@unMyzzz222]

I'd totally love to see a let's play of this.

[@bdon2088]

Reminds me of a mobile game called Tiny Tower

[@quill18]

Tiny Towers was surprisingly fun -- though it wasn't "really" a Sim Tower clone. Just a similar vibe, plus some really annoying micro/grinding.

[@samuelrodick6326]

Ya

[@Normacly]

I believe there is also a flash version online for years now. It is not as complicated (for example no building time) as this game, but everything else is very similar. It was fun until the 40th level when game started to lag and I already unlocked everything.

[@uncle_gispatcho9633]

+Normacly you are talking about corporation inc. if I remember it right

[@stevepittman3770]

Corporation, Inc. I really enjoyed that game until I ran out of things to do.

[@darkfusionxdfnx5668]

make a series

[@TNTNinja2]

Definitely

[@unMyzzz222]

Agreed

[@christophelemaire4551]

I agree

[@FlySC19]

+1 This was entertaining, the game looks very promising would love to watch more

[@MegaGec1]

+christophe lemaire agreed

[@NimicNOR]

I'm really missing the elevators from Sim Tower. A very small thing, I know, but it just feels good to watch those elevators run up and down, and not just have people seemingly teleport through them.

[@HeruKane]

This is really cool. So glad you showed it and stuff, probably going to get it as I loved Sim Tower. My only graphics commentary is that people walk through each room to get to the back rooms. I wish there was a sort of foreground hallway and a background shops. But this is just an aesthetic thing.

[@bklynrich3304]

yes quill make a series this is interesting

[@blackopsmaster34]

Agree with this guy.

[@tarkjj6043]

I really want this game. I loved SimTower back in the day and this would help scratch that itch.

[@landonkryger]

I loved SimTower. I'm so excited to play what looks like a total makeover and updated version of it.

[@Codan3]

reminds me of Corporation Inc. a game on armorgames, played it years ago.

[@LoremasterYnTaris]

I was just thinking of that game watching this. So similar.

[@cheat200]

This game pushes all the right buttons

[@Dacjr314]

Max Dahlin Murphy I

[@Potato-pq5ez]

same

[@kungfuchef8500]

Quill, the fact that you knew of Sim Tower makes me incredibly happy

[@SolvedWarrior14]

Hey Quill. I just saw this video in my recommendations on KZbin and really enjoyed it. I watched the whole thing and subscribed. So glad I found you!

[@Cliffdog01]

I love this. I would absolutely enjoy a full LP series.

[@johnl4469]

Loved SimTower back when and I reckon this'll have me hooked in ten seconds flat :). Thanks Quill.

[@RealLuckless]

Great memories of SimTower, and this is looking very promising. I do hope that the "Traffic management" aspect for larger towers stays important. Looking forward to seeing some more of this on your channel, and also just added it to my steam Wishlist and will likely pick it up on launch day if it isn't insanely priced.

[@OptimusGnarkill]

Awesome vid quill! You should definitely make this a series. I used to play SimTower back in the day constantly and this definitely brings back memories. Would love to see you continue this. Do itttttttttttt

[@RaphaelOnofre]

Was waiting for a LP from this game

[@brysonmg5779]

Quill with his 46 vids per day... real MVP my boy

[@MrFargred]

I'd definitely like to see more of this from you Quill, especially as it's not out yet!

[@TheClumsyGeekGaming]

Thanks for showing this man. I loved Sim Tower, and I even made a similar (although really simplistic) game during my college days. Would love to play this as well!

[@drdking0]

Sim Tower was one of my favorite sim games as a child. This looks like a great spiritual successor. If you have the in game money you should diversify and build an apartment tower.

[@Seriously_Unserious]

Those phones are so Saved By the Bell! When Quill was looking at that store, I kept expecting to see Zack and Slater to come running in up to some sort of mischief. LOL. This definitely does need a full let's play!

[@SuperRIDDE5]

I definitely agree with Quill, it's feels like a game you can relax to. I'll be waiting in joy for a series of this!

[@MarijnRoorda]

Its so similar to simtower... Its like a flashback to the games of old i played in those days.. I feel old again.

[@francesco8000]

So you are free to build 2 towers? Cool but how do you protect them from planes? I'll be honest i feel kinda bad for this joke.

[@giselle2054]

Applouse

[@TheAzrai]

I'd be more concerned about your construction crew putting charges on the support columns.

[@giselle2054]

Seriously accept it PLANES

[@endlessabsurdities3511]

Jet fuel can't melt steel beams! ;)

[@TheAzrai]

LordofApache Your safe space has been violated? Poor little millennial.

[@Phr34d0m]

As a huge fan of SimTower - and sad that the building management sub-genre of simulation games never took off after its release - I cannot wait for this to drop. That said, I didn't even know this game existed until this video appeared on my recommended list on YT - thank you, quill, for giving this game some publicity!

[@Yonkage]

I remember offices from the 90's, and yes, there was just ONE ROOM that had all the copiers and fax machines and mimeographs and carbon paper, and sometimes doubled as the mail room.

[@lindojz1523]

Quill I would love this to be a full lets play. The game looks super fun and interesting.

[@BIkaloss]

Never really understood why people don't call the ground floor first floor. It is the first floor you walk on when you enter the building is it not?

[@Pangora2]

As a mailman the first floor is almost always the ground floor in the office buildings I go to. I also know first floors that are partially underground.

[@UnknownGunslinger]

Well some buildings the ground floor is shops, so the first floor you walk in is just stairs leading to the real first floor which would be the second story. Ground floor, first floor - this is the only thing that makes sense and wont confuse anybody.

[@HappyHusbandnWife]

It's 2016 !!!

[@Dubster9990]

I thought ground floors were the first floor where noone really lives, and thus the first floor would count from where people would live, effectively the first 'living' floor. I think it all depends on what you choose to count.

[@jorisvandenbroeck6609]

It's just a programmer conspiracy to make everyone use our "0 is the first element" philosophy !

[@danjal87nl]

I'd watch a series. These are fun style games. Though setting some personal goals per run does tend to help.

[@ItsGroundhogDay]

I'm always glad to see something different. I normally ignore the standard Civ or whatever the latest video is.

[@Albrat28]

@quill18 you are thinking of Isometric drawing. though this is only partial isometric drawing. (correct in it pre-dating computers.) It was the old design style of showing 3 dimensions without needing several 2d layout drawings.

[@desertrose0601]

Actually large companies / office buildings still have copy services - that's not an old thing. For example, a college / university usually always has one to print mass quantities of syllabi and notes for professors, or even bound materials like brochures to mail out to prospective students.

[@zacwhertvine6765]

When you started this I was mostly bored and had nothing else to watch, but as you progressed I'm feeling much more intrigued. I'd like to see where this tower you're building goes and the game may have just made my potentials list.

[@fearnloathing78x]

Thanks for showing us this game, Quill! Would love to see you do a series on it!

[@ste1l1]

Jeez, now I have to go back the memory lane and play Sim Tower. Quality game!

[@LeaderofChickens]

You are one of the most informed youtubers about their games they play while people like DevilDo, not calling him shit, where they jump into a very technical game (HOI4) without knowing what the stats are and ideas that are commonly used by just playing as Germany and playing the first few years

[@martinsjoquist]

Would love to see more of this, the memories of Sim Tower are real!

[@wasmadeinthe80s]

Would love to see this become a series.

[@XydraVT]

Would love to see this as a series. I don't know what it is about it, but management games like these are fun to watch.

[@MisanthropicMarxist]

I miss Sim Tower, but I'm glad that the whole elevator management thing seems to be in the past

[@danielhamilton5495]

Holy cow. The design of the tower employees (maintenance and the like) are definitely straight out of Sim Tower. So is the non finished floor. I remember having floors filled with ladders like that. Sim Tower was the first Sim game I ever played, it is basically why I only play Sims and strategy games on PC while all the action games are on other systems. After all of that rambling I hope you do more. It will fill the need I have for this game until it comes out.

[@trulsosmundsen515]

Looks and feels like Sim Tower and Sim Tower 2! Thanx for covering this! I spendt to many hours playing Sim Tower on my trusty old Pentium-based computer in the day, nice to see that I can spend even more hours soon! :)

[@reverse_engineered]

I would love to see a series of this. Thanks for the preview, Quill!

[@BoruOfPogoBog]

"I'll keep the lobby floor completely open and clear." >proceeds to fill it with so much stuff he has to extend it out past the other floors. That's our Quill. ;)

[@DoctorLeft]

Gosh dang it Quill you're making me want more games after the summer sale. I can only take so much!

[@KingdomCody]

In games like this I like having 2 elevators, speeds things up in general and ensures that even if one's broken, you still have a working one

[@DominusRexDK]

the legal office named Columbo investigation made me smile

[@RMJ1984]

Oh my god! i have been dreaming about this for SO MANY YEARS!. Im so excited for this ! :D

[@MrAltF4]

Yeah sorry @quill18 about our weird website URL... not really sure how else we can get around that. Mainly here to thank you for enjoying our game, it's a real pleasure to see someone really enjoy our game, can't wait until everyone has the ability to see what we have done as a team :) Peace Andrew - Producer guy

[@MrMark1Smith]

Schedule permitting, Of course we want more. Tbh dunno how you have the energy and time to make so much.

[@Hussam_B]

Awesome! I so remember sim tower and the whole elevator traffic thing

[@matteogasparotti2629]

reminds me of a flash game called corporation Inc

[@WillKrause21]

It's like a corporation Inc with 20x more features.

[@matteogasparotti2629]

Will Krause​ yep spot on

[@cheat200]

except elevators are bad in this game. I saw 2 doors open at once... Death traps or magical elevators?

[@WillKrause21]

fair point, Corp. Inc. did have excellent transportation systems...

[@dylan-9018]

This was very interesting quill! Would love a series on this game

[@greensleevez]

Yay! Café Budapest! Hello from Hungary, and we definitely need, nay, crave more of your fine vids on Highrise.

[@PokerStaples]

Love this video Quill. Would love to see you do more :)

[@erichousetkc]

Hi Quill18. It is the first time I commented on your videos. I really like Simtower games and I am very excited to see new games of this type. Please make more videos out of it.

[@MercifulMing]

875 North Michigan Avenue is the address of the John Hancock Center in Chicago, 2nd tallest building in the world when it was built in 1968. I don't think the address names are random.

[@drewk5981]

Bringing back memories of Sim Towers!

[@Duncan51010]

More, I haven't known I needed more Sim tower until now!

[@thunderbagel3886]

Ah, this brings me back. Hadn't heard about this game. I'll pick it up when it releases

[@polaris2739]

please continue playing this!! its very fun to watch!

[@marktisdale8058]

Sim Tower... what I called Sim Elevator as that is where you spent most of your effort.

[@TheTruthowl]

I liked Sim Towers open Elevator system more. I used to love watching my little sims wait to ride up/down... lol

[@LifeUntilLove]

Great video! I was genuinely excited to see this! I didn't know this was even a thing so thanks for introducing me.

[@Baleur]

Imagine if you could do things this sensibly in real life, building floors as needed, ensuring a filled building that makes profit. While in real life it's like, build a huge complete finished tower, THEN wait and beg for people to move in and rent the space. xD

[@DiscipleHonsou]

I'm so excited for this game, thanks for the video as always Quill.

[@mattvenczel7086]

I'd quite enjoy a series of this game if you can make it possible!

[@belroththundra]

I would be interested in a series or even a mini series of this. I enjoyed the heck out of sim tower :x

[@rickhardmann6695]

I have not seen it call out yet but the name of the art style/view (building cut thru) is called an Elevation plan.

[@plemgrubern]

this looks so great, I loved sim tower so much

[@Caboose20-n6x]

This game looks great! We need more Quill!

[@OpenWorldAddict0]

this looks amazing. I have been a big fan of Sim Tower for along time. Wow! Quill, thanks for showing it off. (it actually looks like it would be better than Sim Tower ever was.

[@Rampkin325]

I can't wait for this! I played SimTower all the time!!

[@RilleI986]

This game looks nice, now I have only Sim Tower in my head. I hope you do a lets play on this game. Good work Quill =)

[@reeman12321]

Make this a series! Been hungry for a good sim-game for a long time :D

[@sam0var843]

Hey, bro. New subscriber. Loved this game and mastered it. Really fun to play for a while. This is the first time I've watched someone play it. :-D Very interesting. A neverending series of problems to solve!

[@dave8956]

Quill! Your tenants need more video coverage of this game to satisfy their demands!

[@RedPanda-bt7eb]

Plz do more. Also Quill i noticed there has been very little MP games on your channel and was wondering if or when we will get more multiplayer games.

[@Runetrantor]

Have they said anything about different settings for the Towers? That was something I really loved in Yoot Tower (Sim Tower 2), how it had three different locations, each with it's strengths, heights, and buildings. Plus it was supposed to have so many more, like a moonbase! (GOD WHY IT WAS LOST TO THE AGES!? WHY!?) So you can have all sort of cool towers in different eras, or crazy places.

[@Esinol]

Looking forward to playing this myself, I have been playing ALOT of Sim Tower back when i was a kid :)

[@mrchok127]

A few more episodes of this game would be cool.

[@josheick7776]

This is great. If you have time quill bring on more of this

[@midwestspleeno]

I'd definitely love to see a series of this!

[@Fetch26291]

If your elevator went into the sublevels, everyone in your building would move that little bit faster, making them that little bit happier. You'll need an elevator going down for when you get to build the Metro station. Back in SimTower, the Metro station took up sublevels 8-10 (10 being the tunnel)

[@DougvonSohsten]

Wow... you got me interested there... Moar???

[@isuress]

Oh my god, haha, that 420 joke at 16:05. Wasn't expecting that from Quill18. Amazing!

[@hardcoor17]

Please do more of this. Cities Skylines and Sim City are my favorite games on your channel, would love something like this in that mold.

[@MegaGec1]

Please make it into a series you'll make us all happy because it's a really good game please don't let use down quill

[@PenitusVox]

I would love a continuation of this or a restart with the information you have now!

[@chrisdunsworth635]

please do a full series, this interests me very much

[@wlmartin80]

I loved sim tower... Commenting 10 seconds in, I expect you and it not to suck, be warned hehe

[@realifenow4485]

I grew up on SimTower. I was about 10 the first time I started playing. Those were the good old days... No touch screens or anything like that. You actually had to go outdoors when your eyes started hurting.

[@joshimkamp187]

as a native resident of the state of michigan, I salute you for using North Michigan as the tower name lol

[@oz_jones]

Pretty sure that the game just generates those. Or if it doesn't it totally should.

[@Asmoharg]

I'd like to order a full Let's Play of this :-) This game really seems to have potential!

[@Jarethenator]

Who would've thought, a game a game about building an office building and/or apartment could be so interesting....

[@SpecOpsFerret]

Lets Play definitely
