SimAirport

SimAirport is an economic strategy game developed by the independent studio LVGameDev.

Mechanics

As the title suggests, in SimAirport we play the role of the manager of a virtual airport. During the game, which takes place in real-time, we observe the action from a top-down perspective, and our task is to take care of all aspects of the airport operations. We start the struggle in an empty space, which we gradually fill with new structures. However, the construction of the terminal building and the design of the runway is not enough.

The next steps include, first of all, hiring staff (cleaners, clerks, security), as well as taking care of the entire infrastructure to make waiting for a flight more pleasant for the passengers. The latter are not only toilets, shops, and restaurants, but also small things like monitors (on which information about our flight schedule is displayed) and comfortable chairs and sofas in waiting rooms. That is still not the end of our responsibilities - during the game we have to make various decisions concerning, for example, the choice of the airlines with which we will decide to cooperate.

Game modes

SimAirport offers two variants of gameplay. The basic one is Career, in which we can test our skills with strictly limited resources at our disposal. It is accompanied by the Sandbox mode, in which we don't have to worry about any restrictions.

Technical aspects

SimAirport's two-dimensional visuals are simple and clear. The title has been fully integrated into the Steam Workshop, enabling the players to share the airports they have designed.
