Tycoon strategy game Car Park Capital gets a new trailer and publisher announcement

Car Park Capital is an absolutely genius idea for a tycoon building sim, getting you to build up the greatest car parks ever.

What is it? A new but old-school styled tycoon game where you turn walkable towns into parking lots and use propaganda to convince people to pay you for it. It's your job to convince the citizens of various towns that they need them, and then make them rather large and silly while making a tidy profit of course.

I showed this off on GamingOnLinux back in June 2024, and it's coming along nicely. It's doing so well they've pulled in a publisher with MicroProse Software which seems thoroughly fitting, considering it's inspired some of their classics. Check out the brand new trailer:

The developer mentioned they've now left their day job to work full time on it with MicroProse handling marketing, localization, funding and more.

Game Highlights:

• Real-time simulation with hundreds of vehicles and (bald) citizens, all bustling around your growing parking empire.
• Build the dream: Demolish homes, buy land, and design massive parking lots, flat or vertical, with 3D construction tools.
• Mind-reading tech: Tap into any citizen’s thoughts. Are they buying in? Or just angry about your oil rig next to their child’s school?
• Propaganda tools: Convert skeptics into carbrains with megaphone slogans, billboard campaigns, and majestic car-themed statues.
• Appease the people: When traffic hits critical mass, distract them with your glorious Ferris Wheel for cars.
• Anti-car resistance: Outsmart protesters before they tank your approval ratings.
• Stat-o-matic: Track every number a proper tycoon craves. Higher fees? Bigger oil consumption? That’s progress!
• Drill, baby, drill: Because a full tank is a full heart.
• Fight public transport: Who needs trains and walkability when every inch of the map can be asphalt?
• Moddable: Tinker under the hood with Lua support for content and script modifications.
