Project Highrise [Official Website] a cool looking skyscraper construction and management sim is now available on Linux, but it's a very experimental form.

Note: They may remove the Linux build if it doesn't work out, don't go buying it expecting it all to work fine.

Right now it will launch, but it will fail to launch each time after unless before launching you remove the preferences folder for the game. The developers are working on it and gathering feedback on it here.

Buy it at your own peril, but it's probably better to wait until that is fixed.

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 specialized consultants to increase your building's curb appeal, operational efficiency, and pull with city hall. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: ProfessorKaos64Omg I want this. I played hell out of Sim Tower back in the day.

I have to second that, I found the complexity of SimTower absolutely fascinating. Hopefully the recipe stands the test of time :)

Oooo, looks like something I might enjoy! Hopefully they decide to keep the Linux builds on a permanent basis.

I loved SimTower as well. This is a guaranteed buy for me if they get it stable enough.
