I wanted a city builder where running the city and living a life are the same game.
The problem
City builders usually stop at zoning and budgets. The person making those decisions disappears behind the interface.
What I built
A playable Three.js city builder crossed with a city-leader life simulator. Draw roads, zone land, grow a tax base, manage pollution and districts, then advance the mayor's life through choices that change both the person and the city.
Proof
Playable in the browser with persistent saves, responsive controls, and 36 automated tests.
What I learned
A management game becomes more legible when every system answers one question: what changed because I chose this?
Shipping a simulation-heavy browser game from mechanics through deployment.

The city is the map. The mayor is the save file.
