Skyline Co-op: A Democratic Socialist Take on Tower Building Games

Skyline Co-op is a new tower-building simulation game that reimagines the genre with a focus on democratic socialism rather than pure profit. Players act as stewards, managing resources and building spaces to maximize resident confidence, which is measured by factors like housing availability and affordability. The game features a resident assembly that votes on proposals and can remove the steward if confidence wanes, introducing a unique political layer to the simulation. AI

IMPACT Niche tooling improvement; minimal industry-wide impact.
