Citybound is an open-source, multi-player city building simulation game written in Rust, focused on realism and microscopic simulation of individual households, traffic, and economies. It is a work-in-progress project funded through Patreon, with downloadable builds for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Use cases

• play a realistic city building game with microscopic household-level simulation
• collaboratively plan and build cities with other players in multiplayer
• explore emergent traffic, trade, and economic patterns in a simulated city
• contribute to an open-source Rust game using an actor-model architecture
• inspect city life dynamics across multiple scales of time and space

When to choose

• you want a realistic, detail-oriented city simulator rather than an arcade-style city builder
• you want to play or co-plan cities in multiplayer
• you want to contribute to or study an open-source Rust game codebase

When to avoid

• you need a polished, feature-complete game - it is a work-in-progress with experimental builds
• you need guaranteed stability or long-term support from a large team
• you prefer closed-source commercial city builders with extensive content
