**We here at
love ourselves some city-building games!
It's somewhat akin to taking care of a digital bonsai tree which constantly strives for equilibrium. As we keep expanding and building out our own "digital city", I often return to these kind of games for some "management zen".**
From Sim City to Frostpunk, which are your favorites?
This leads me to another question I've been burning to ask.
Have you guys heard of #dcity on Hive?
(Check it out here: https://dcity.io/)
It's a 2D city-building game using NFTs as the buildings, population and services, it's own token (SIM) and is purring away flawlessly on the Hive Blockchain. It's been around for a long tme and has evolved into a mainstay of blockchain gaming on the Hive platform. We'd also be amiss to mention the venerable #beeswap (https://beeswap.dcity.io/wallet) which is a useful tool, exchange and pooling tool for Hive!
You start out with a blank canvas and initially need to pour in a couple of SIM to get your initial cards. Classic Sim City rules, like balancing jobs, population and housing apply as you grow your city from a simple hamlet to a bustling mega city. As your city thrives you'll notice a daily trickle of SIM coming into your Hive Engine which you can then use to keep investing in your city or to diversify your Hive portfolio. In our case we use some of the city's production to buy back some #SMANA for example.
Once your city reaches a certain size, it even starts producing Hive! Industrious souls can even run for mayor in an open voting process.
Here's a view of our city at the moment. :)
Nyxville? Nyxton? Nyxington?
Will need to come up with a better name!
As a special treat we've got a couple of things to give away. Check it out!
2 x Cities Skylines (for Steam) (1 on Hive, 1 on Styx)
3 x 1000 SIM (on Hive Engine)
10 x 25 SMANA (on Hive Engine)
In order to participate, riddle us this:
Who invented the original Sim City?
Good luck and happy building!
(Winners will be drawn when this post is 3 days old)
We've been tinkering away a lot recently so we're happy to start sharing more and more of the progress as the river twists and turns in ever new motions,
Thank you guys for being awesome and always looking out for us!
gotta catch 'em all,
Nyx Labs
