Gruny

My passion for city-builders goes back as far as my earliest gaming memories. In 1989, with SimCity, I was a kid already captivated by this dizzying idea: starting from nothing, laying down the first roads, watching a city emerge, breathe, grow… and sometimes collapse. This total creative freedom, combined with an almost organic logic, has never left me.

I grew up with management games. Theme Park, RollerCoaster Tycoon, Transport Tycoon, Cities XL, Planet Coaster, Transport Fever… They all shared one thing in common: they gave me the feeling of building believable, living worlds. What has always fascinated me is not numbers or scores, but details: population flows, intersecting transport networks, neighborhoods slowly evolving. That’s where the magic happens.
