City Limits

City Limits is a city building game developed by Tony Bark and successor to the Furville project. it continues in it's predecessors footsteps of being a re-impinging of SimCity Classic that brings features introduced from it's sequels into the classic format. Despite its relation to the Furville project, it is not based on the original Micropolis code and is instead being written entirely from scratch using Godot.

Furville projects
City Limits traces its roots to Tony's early attempts at forking Micropolis in order to extend the game in his own direction under the name "Furville." It would bring over concepts and features introduced in later iterations of SimCity, and would based on what is now Casey Universe. However, the task proved too much as he wasn't nearly as experienced of a programmer at the time. The project was cancelled in favor of redistributing existing rewrites of the Java and web versions to other platforms. Despite the cancellation, Tony never gave up on his goal.

Godot engine
The Furville project was relaunched as City Limits in late 2019, when Tony discovered Godot and realized it would be easier to rewrite Micropolis using it. But the project was thrown into development hell due to his troubles trying to figure out how to implement the "buy mode" feature because he wasn't familiar with GDScript. It took until mid-2021 for him to develop a solution.

Zone Rewrite
The "buy mode" feature was implemented using Godot's signaling API. Signaling introduced basic budgeting, power and time for the first time as it required a complete rewrite of how zones worked.

Introduction of news outlets
On May 26th, 2021, the interface was changed to resemble SimCity 3000's and introducing a news ticker with two outlets: FNN and Pawprint Press. Pawprint Press serves as the major news outlet unless the city is named Furtropolis or if the Central Tower is present. The news shown within the ticker itself contains modified messages from SimCity 3000's.

Relation to SimNation
Despite taking place within Casey Universe, City Limits shares a similar timeline to Sim universe beginning with the introduction of the news ticker, such as the Kitty Kibble Shortage.

Advisors
City Limits adapts the concept of advisors from SimCity 3000 and 4. They play a similar role to their counterparts in SimCity 3000. As of May 20th, 2021, the game only includes city planner and finical advisor.
