    Project Highrise is a 2D tower-building simulation game, developed by SomaSim and published by Kasedo Games. It is considered by many to be the spiritual successor to SimTower. In the game, players take on the role of a high-rise manager who is responsible for building and maintaining a tower block, filling it with offices, apartments, shops and restaurants, which they support with utilities, while providing specialized services and fulfilling certain conditions in order to keep the residents and tenants of the building satisfied.

    • @pedrovallefin8406
      @pedrovallefin8406 Před 10 měsíci +59

      To Kevins favor, he did eventually fix it so the entrance its in one the restaurants, considerably less awkward for everyone involved. Of course, he only did that after most of the building was already built, so its safe to say that person must have moved out for exactly that reason. Still, considering Kevins usual standards, that he actually fixed it later on should be celebrated.

Granted, it wasnt exactly profitable in the long run, but he was young and naive then. He didnt knew there was no need to pay the basement people to work for him. That was a valuable lesson.

  • @MorglortheMangler
    @MorglortheMangler Před 10 měsíci +68

    They say insanity means doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. So based on that Kevin is insane for thinking he will succeed and I’m not insane because I keep watching his videos and I’m always entertained.

    • @pedrovallefin8406
      @pedrovallefin8406 Před 10 měsíci +9

      Now, being fair, Kevin isnt completely insane (yet). Sure, hes constantly repeating the same mistakes which almost always lead to self-destruction, but he does learn from those mistakes eventually. Its just that he has a "one step forward three steps back" way of leaning, so the results barely show. Sometimes they dont show at all. But not matter how little he succeds, theres always a happy ending. So maybe he is insane, insanely positive that is.

Project Highrise def has the crown for modern design sensibilities and UX though.

    I love this game but there’s so many silly traps you can fall into, and unfortunately Kevin is Ash Ketchum walking into a trigger snare for the 16th episode in a row

    This reminds me of Clicker Inc or whatever that game was called that was a flash game. Something along the lines of typer or keyboard corporation.

    These building sim and tower tycoon games are insanely hard. You had more success than I ever had.

    I’d love to see more with the Mole People, especially since this was such a success with no problems at all along the way! 😆

    623 Shit Ave was tragic. You had a great foundation and then earthquake lol. This was fantastic though, you really did a great job managing 622!

    I loved sim tower and still have the original disk somewhere but it wont install on modern pc's, if I remember correctly it was never easy to install properly but I digress I bought project highrise when I first saw it because it looked so similar and I spent about an hour trying to figure it out and rage quit, two years ago... havent touched it since...looks super fun once you figure it out though
