What changed, and what it looks like. These are early builds: every screenshot is a real frame, and what's placeholder is said so. Follow along with the RSS feed.

The 3D view now draws the town the simulation is actually running, with its real streets, its real buildings and people walking to work.

Towns now stand on land the simulation owns: rivers that run downhill to the sea, lakes, coasts and islands, forests, deserts and snow, with streets that bridge the water.

The first 3D frames of the game: a river town, a market plaza, mountains, a coast and a desert, in a clean miniature style built from simple shapes.
