What's coming to town
Taajama Online keeps growing. This is a rough look at what's up next and what we dream about further down the road. Ideas evolve along the way.
⚠️ This is a rough list, not a list of promises. Features, order and details may change or get dropped. Finished things live in the dev diary.
Up next
These are closest to shipping — on the drawing board right now.
Weather and seasons start to bite
Seasons and weather stop being mere scenery. Winter cold, summer drought and storms begin to shape the city and everyday life.
Tourism and landmarks – update 1
A beautiful, clean city starts to attract tourists. Landmarks and sights bring in money.
More on the drawing board
A bigger pile of ideas that build on the systems already in the game.
Epidemics
Diseases can spread from resident to resident at schools, workplaces and on the bus. Planning your health station's capacity gets genuinely tense.
Buildings falling into disrepair
Buildings age and need upkeep or repair, otherwise they gradually crumble into ruins.
Bigger fire stations
The current fire system expands with bigger fire stations and hydrants for a faster response.
Electric cars and charging
Gas stations and charging points as infrastructure. Fleet electrification ties into the power grid and pollution.
Recycling
A recycling centre curbs landfill pollution and slows it filling up — a cleaner answer to the trash problem.
Sewage and wastewater
The drinking-water system gets its mirror image: untreated wastewater fouls lakes and lowers water quality.
Pensions and ageing
An ageing population starts to weigh on the city. The elderly get looked after better than before.
Homelessness
When housing runs out, homelessness becomes a visible crisis, emergency shelters are only a temporary patch.
Noise starts to hurt
The noise map hooks into mood and night quiet. Don't zone homes next to noisy industry and traffic.
Energy policy
City emissions and energy choices get more options. Back renewables or lean on cheap coal.
University research
The university starts producing research that unlocks new buildings, a city-wide payoff for higher education.
City ordinances
A car-free centre, a plastic ban and other rulings, each with its own price.
Talent in the city
A graduate who can't find their dream job moves away. Your education investment has to meet the right jobs.
Consequences of inbreeding
A narrow gene pool starts to genuinely show in the health and stories of newborn residents.
Libraries
A third place that quietly touches education, mood and idle youth.
Sports fields
Football, basketball, skating and playgrounds: exercise boosts health and keeps young people engaged.
Swimming beaches
The best reason to keep the water clean. Pollute the nearby lake and the beach closes — a magnet for summer tourism.
More from the water
Fishing, bridges, harbours and hydropower. Water stops being a wall and becomes a planning puzzle.
Who runs the city?
A new two-player feature that brings more interaction between players. Residents weigh in on which of you is running the city better.
City life and culture
The longer-term dream: a living culture scene where real residents grow into local stars.
Nightclubs and nightlife
Clubs wake up when the rest of the city sleeps. Young people meet each other, for better and worse.
Restaurants and critics
Restaurants, cuisines and star reviews. A cook can rise from the kitchen track to celebrity chef.
Sports teams and leagues
Your city fields a team of real residents and faces the neighbour across the seam. Real rivalry without forced conflict.
Bands and music clubs
Musician residents start bands, play clubs and can rise to local fame with a breakthrough.
Museums of city history
Exhibits assembled from your own city's events: great fires, founding families and former residents.
Local TV and radio
Media that broadcasts content, shapes opinion and can swing the mayor's approval.
Art galleries
Artist residents produce works; a masterpiece sells for a fortune and puts the city on the map.
Amusement parks and fairs
A big tourism magnet with seasonal fairs.
Celebrities and reputation
Athletes, musicians and chefs build reputation. A famous resident's fate is a whole-city event.
Breweries and a signature product
Give the city its own brand beyond a name: a signature beer with awards, export income and festivals.
