Cytopia

About

Cytopia is a free, open-source retro pixel-art city-building game with a strong focus on mod support, using a custom isometric rendering engine built on SDL2 and written in C++. Current features include camera panning and zooming, terrain manipulation, and procedural terrain generation, plus a Qt-based tile editor for creating TileData JSON files. Actual city-building gameplay mechanics, biomes, an OpenGL renderer, in-game mod downloading, and mobile ports are all still listed as planned, not yet implemented.

Getting started

Build instructions, using CMake and Conan for dependency management, are documented in the project wiki. As of the listed feature set, it is more of a work-in-progress engine/tech demo than a complete playable city builder.
