Terra Nil is a game about ecological restoration and rebirth instead of building a continually expanding population center and managing it. With a unique hybrid of puzzle and strategy gameplay along with the mechanics players have come to expect from a city management sim, Terra Nil presents itself as a different sort of simulation game that is diametrically opposed to the urban sprawl that players create in titles like Cities: Skylines. Enter Terra Nil, the self-described "city un-building simulator." And while Cities: Skylines is about to receive a major update and a sequel later in 2023, there is still plenty of room for the city management sim genre to grow, innovating and evolving along the way. Right now there’s a slightly newer build on beta with some bug fixes and polish.Since 2015 Paradox Games' Cities: Skylines has successfully stepped in to fill the city-building simulator void left by an absence of a new entry in the long-running Sim City franchise. We’ll also post patch notes of the beta builds to Discord as we release new builds. We’d love it if you can join our Discord and give us feedback on the beta in the #🐾-terra-nil-public-betaĬhannel. We always value feedback, but we’re especially keen to get feedback on the beta branch builds. These builds will often only have English translations, with other languages coming later.

You can opt-in by right clicking on the game in the Steam client, selecting “Properties…”, Betas, and then the “beta” branch. We advise backing up your save games manually before using the branch. Note: by opting in to this branch, you do so “at your own risk.” We test these builds internally, but not as thoroughly as the public builds, so there is a chance a game-breaking or save-corrupting bug sneaks in. Eventually these changes will make their way to the public build on Steam and other platforms, but if you’d like to see the latest things we’re working on before everyone else, you can opt-in to this branch right now! As we ramp up on Terra Nil work again, we’re setting up a beta branch on Steam where we’ll release patches and updates prior to them being officially approved and released publicly.
