Difficulty in making a 2d simcity?

by Peter Gault · in General Discussion · 06/13/2007 (3:25 pm) · 1 replies

I am looking into building a simcity clone, and was wondering how difficult this would be from a programming prospective. I can't announce the details of the project, but something along the lines of simcity 2, built with XNA (I know it's not GG, but I ask this question because of the maturity of this community.) Any information would be great.
Thanks

It would be extremely complex as SimCity is not a simple game by any stretch of the imagination. The rendering side would be the simplest part. Programming the system itself and then tweaking it for gameplay would be a very, very huge commitment.
