Logline: Promptopolis is a revolutionary city-building simulation where players use Natural Language Prompts to instantly generate unique, functional buildings, streets, and massive complexes. Design the perfect city using the power of AI, then manage its infrastructure through hyper-realistic logistics and survive truly dynamic, unpredictable chaos.
Promptopolis is built on four interlocking systems that ensure unmatched creativity and replayability:
Generate any structure imaginable—from a "Tiny high-rise office" to an "Elite housing made from the whole mountain"—by simply describing it. The AI Generation System governs cost based on Complexity and Novelty, not pre-set assets.
Survival is not guaranteed. Events like UFO Invasions, Mass Riots, and Tsunamis are dynamic and stress your unique infrastructure in one-of-a-kind ways.
Your citizens are independent agents. Watch for Road Accidents, manage the flow during Black Friday Madness, and plan for the functional impact of a Dynamic Day-Night Cycle.
Abandon the rigid grid. Utilize Fluid-ness planning to draw organic, curving streets and mark irregular plots, balancing aesthetic vision with efficient utility flow and traffic management.
