That trailer shows a lot of the city, and some of the architectural styles you can employ, but doesn’t show much of the nuts and bolts - the brick and mortar, maybe - of how you actually do it.
If you still don’t like what you see, you can edit it further in the plot editor. The developers say this is “a tool we have developed to be as easy to use as possible, while still coming close to the potency of technical drawing software.” It sounds as if this is where you’ll be able to make new buildings more or less from scratch, within certain physical rules.
What’s not clear, from anything I’ve read, is what makes this a game rather than a tool or a toy. Possibly nothing - and if so, cool. If this is just a more detailed, ParisianTownscaper, then that sounds cool to me.
The Architect: Paris will release in early access on Steam on February 25th, and they’re aiming for a full release in September.
