YesBox also promises “state of the art traffic simulation, capable of pathing around 100,000+ people/vehicles”, which means you have incredible scope to build a gleaming metropolis with very few limits.
Metropolis 1998is aiming to launch in Early Access on Steam (date TBC), but for now you candive into the free demoand have a play around. If YesBox pulls off everything it’s trying to do, we could be looking at the next great city builder here.
