NewCity
11/25/2020 update:
Hey look I used the edit button! The performance updates have significantly improved performance. Doing CCullingAlgo 1 appears to help, but also causes the rendering of the tiles to be a little wonky when you zoom in. Setting it to CCullingAlgo 2 appears to just cause the game to crash for some reason. With the largest map setting (125x125) and a population of around 600k I have still been unable to get the game to run at max speed consistently and will typically cap out at speed.

NewCity is a little different than similar titles in the genre: you aren’t going to be lord of the trash collectors, or worrying about how to fund your next power generator, or the fact that your water and sewage systems can’t handle the growth you have planned.
Believe me, when I first fired up the game and saw the player had none of these responsibilities, I did a little bit of head scratching and I wondered exactly how much content the game had and how difficult it was.
Well, I say to the skeptic: fear not!
