Open tower

Open Tower is an open source video game. Its is a construction and management simulation in which the player must construct a skyscaper given different start scenarios. It is currently only designed to be used on a PC. It is similar to the classic games Sim Tower and yoot tower.
Gameplay
The objective of the game is too construct a skyscraper whilst keeping control of finances, resources, space and tentant happiness. The player can choose from a vast away different types of rooms in which to build. Different rooms have different purposes. Some rooms make the player money, ie the office plots pay a monthly rental. Some rooms are essential for making the tower work, for example the recycling centre is needed to handle the garbish produced by the tower. The transportion of residents/workers/shoppers from the lobby to the sky lobbies and rooms is a key issue which the player must decide how to tackle. To do this the player is given an aray of different elevators, stairs and walkways. However these have capacity limits as well as taking up valuble tower space. Room placement is another issue facing the player as different room some types don't like being next door to one another ie condo and nightclubs dont make good neighbours. However some room types work better when they are close, ie resterants and shops. It is planned that Open Tower will have a multiplay feature in the future
Development
The game is currently close to complete. It is open source and had been created by various people across the globe. The game will never be fully complete as new rooms and features will always be welcome to add to the gameplay further. Since being open source anybody is able to post new graphics, game coding or suggestions on the game website (see below). The way the game is developed is similar to openttd hence why they both carry similar names
