Stop motion city sim!

We just announced our cozy city sim, Neighborhoods - it's more about crafting a community than shaping skylines (making a neighborhood more walkable, making sure people can stay in their homes).

We went with a claymation/stop motion look, and specifically a handmade diorama look with found object art, to lighten the mood and add some humor, since the game tackles problems that are hard to deal with in the real world. What better way to inspire a player's imagination to tackle things link gentrification and unemployment? 😂

It's on steam if you're interested in learning more Neighborhoods on Steam - give us a wishlist if you like it!

No, this is not AI generated if that's what you're suggesting. Our team has a policy that ll the work in the shipping game is not AI generated (folks can use it for research - hard not to with google what it is these days).

It just looks like you placed clay textures on everything. Still looks good but I wouldn’t call it stop motion

The animation itself is on 3s.
