Thriving City: Song is a mayoral Simulation Game by White Star Studio. Its Early Access version was released in April 2023.
The year is 960 A.D, and the Song Dynasty of China has just begun its rule. You play as an official of the Song government, tasked with building a city in the wilderness and nurturing it to greatness. Housing, perfume-makers, and militia are just a few of the factors that must be incorporated into your plans. Dealing with China's turbulent politics, however, will be even harder.
This game includes the following tropes:
- Command & Conquer Economy: All buildings but the player character's villa are built at their direction, including the farms people need to eat.
- Here There Be Dragons: Maps are bordered by a sea of mist and simply-rendered mountains, much like those in classical Chinese paintings.
- Isometric Projection: The game's visual viewpoint is like that of the City-Building Series, tilted and displaying two angles.
