Not really sure but I think so. Watched a hearse roll around on stream, and the driver hopped out to get the body and you could rename him before he got back in the car. You can rename any person and zone in your cities.

You start out with 1 area that is probably around the size limit of the new Simcity but you can quickly buy more, up to a grid of 9 I'm told. It looks like you will be able to get a pretty respectable size once you own all the tiles you can.

I watched quil18's city spiral into unrecoverable like that due to a little pollution near his water intake. After a certain point city services couldn't pick up bodies fast enough and the piles of dead bodies spread plague. Rip city.

Max size of a map is 25 squares I think, 5x5, unless a preview i read was wrong.
Almost wish I could unlock them non-contiguously, actually be forced to develop a remoter suburb, but all things you can do without being forced I suppose. Seen it posted there's already mods to just unlock it all.

Initial impression: Its what the most recent Sim City should have probably been.
I mean I've done nothing but build a few neighborhoods and shit but just the interface, graphics, and flexibility to build how you want feels exactly like Sim City 4 from what I remember.

well educated young adult working at a corner store.Person detail, can only change the name. Home/work aren't changeable it seems.

If you have it on the fastest speed is go down-hill pretty fast. I make sure to build services, in every "neighborhood", before I zone. But yeah, pollution/sickness/dead bodies can get out of control fast. I got out of pollution industry as fast as I could, much prefer offices. Only pollution now is from incinerators.
Cash seems to come too easy, guess I could lower taxes to invite more people(sitting anywhere from 10-13% now).

Yup, you can mod it to 25x the starting size (which is about the size of SC maps), so yes, you can get quite the sprawl going. People seem to be able to make 500k+ with 9 tiles. It should be noted that the company doesn't officially support more than 9 tiles, as it could cause your computer to melt unless it's very powerful. It'll probably be a bit like SC4 that in a few years time people will be running gigantic cities sprawled over 25 tiles with out too much effort.
Oh, they also support importing hightmaps for regions so you'll be able to play on your favourite RL city setting.

My perception of the Busy Corner Shop differs only slightly for a young adult named "Khalid."

I feel like my biggest pain in the ass is running water/sewer lines since they can't ever intersect. I feel like I'm playing a game of Snake with them trying to get full coverage across my map
Why in the world didn't they make the water services like electrical in that only one end of a development needs to be attached, and the whole area is connected. Running 2 separate, non-intersecting pipes from the same water source/location is a huge pain in the ass.
I definitely had to break the Sim City habit of running on balls-out fast speed. The city goes to crap real fast if something goes wrong at that speed. Accidentally cross over your power threshold by 1 megawatt? Half the city goes out of power and goes to shit and all your money disappears so you can't build another plant. Slow goes it, so far for me.
I like the game a lot so far, it's going to take some time to figure out the unique nuances of this game after playing various Sim Cities for years, and expecting certain things to work a certain way.

Oh hell, really? From the descriptions on the water pump facility and sewer waste facility, it sounds like you want to place them far away from each other and not mix the waste, I thought you had to run 2 completely separate piping systems. It was costing me a damn fortune, no wonder I was going broke so fast in all of my towns, lol.

That's what I get for jumping in head-first with no research or not watching any videos, lol. Definitely a few large differences in how some things work compared to Sim City. Its kind of fun playing a game like this without knowing how everything basically works before you even start.
