Kasedo Games has announced that building management simulator, Project Highrise has made over $1million of revenue since its release in September 2016.

With over 70,000 units sold, the game developed by Chicago-based SomaSim, has continued to be updated at no further cost to players. From seasonal decorative items to mechanical changes such as skybridges and vending machines, the updates have proved to be a hit with grateful fans of the game, available for Windows and Mac.

“From the beginning, we have always wanted to show our gratitude to the community for all of their support,” said Matthew Viglione, co-founder of SomaSim. “We’ve really enjoyed interacting with them since releasing the game and we can’t think of a better way to thank them for their support than these free updates and improvements based on their feedback.

“To be honest, we’ve been amazed by the success of Project Highrise and our partnership with Kasedo Games has been vital to that. Working with them has been a great experience. Their ideas and expertise have been invaluable to the development of the game and together we’ve produced a game that we’re both immensely proud of.”

Kasedo Games has now released a video showing all the updates that have been included so far along with the latest free addition, which will allow players to place multi-storey lobbies in their thriving skyscrapers. The lobby update will also include new wallpapers and lobby art to give the new space a look of grandeur and elegance.

Project Highrise is available for £14.99, $19.99, €19.99 on PC & Mac on Steam.

Project Highrise is also available to purchase for PC & Mac on GOG.com

About Project Highrise

Your job as the architect and developer is to build world-famous skyscrapers that will be the envy of the entire city, masterpieces of art and engineering. But a skyscraper is more than just steel and glass, it’s an intricate ecosystem, full of people that live and work in the building. They become a complex machine that needs your steady hand to keep it running smoothly and efficiently.

Features

  • Deep and complex simulation of a modern skyscraper.
  • Huge variety of tenants with their own unique characteristics, from restaurants, to offices, retail stores, or residential apartments.
  • Open sandbox play with several difficulty levels and starting conditions allowing you to build your dream skyscraper towering above the surrounding city.
  • Campaign mode that tests your skill at building a successful highrise in challenging scenarios.
  • Test your management mettle by keeping up with your buildings diverse population and their ever-increasing demands.
  • Hire specialised consultants to increase your building’s curb appeal, operational efficiency, and pull with city hall.

As the architect you must coordinate the construction of everything – every wall and wire, every office and apartment. As the building owner you must keep your tenants happy – and paying rent on time. As a savvy developer you must keep an eye on the bottom line and invest in the future. Succeed and you will reap the rewards of a prestigious address where everyone will clamour to live and work. Fail and you will watch tenants leave in disgust, taking their business elsewhere and leaving your reputation in tatters.

Will you create an exclusive office highrise that attracts business leaders from around the world? Will you construct luxury apartments in the sky, penthouses for the elite and playgrounds for the famous? Perhaps greed will get the better of you and you’ll build a tenement building that trades tenant happiness for loads of cash? All these choices and more are yours. Success is entirely in your hands.
