As the director of a small state park, your job is to balance conservation, leisure, and fiscal sustainability. At the moment, there's minimal gameplay.
|

This is inspired by Maxis' Sim series of games, particularly SimSafari, and Chris Sawyer's Tycoon games. Premise-wise, it more closely resembles SimPark, but I never played it except for a demo. (Alternatively, watch 1990's Sim Games. SO GOOD!)

## Controls ##
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use the arrow keys or move the mouse to the edges to scroll around on the map. The plus and minus keys zoom in and out. 0 toggles pause. F opens the Forest Policy. B opens the budget.

## Overlap with past work ##
|
|
|
|
|

This game is a total rewrite of the original version in C#. I honestly like the original language and library more (Clojure and Quil), but Quil was starting to struggle with the amount of drawing, and I was hitting the limit of my optimization abilities and available information online. (Another drawback: I also am giving up the browser version, unless people get XNA in the browser working.)

## Installing and Running ##
|
|
|
|
|
|
* macOS users need to do an [extra step](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/open-a-mac-app-from-an-unidentified-developer-mh40616/11.0/mac/11.0) the first time because the app is unsigned.
|
|
|
* Windows and Linux users should be able to double-click the EXE and run it.
|
|
|
* BSD users can try using [fbsd-fnaify](https://github.com/oshogbo/fbsd-fnaify), although I have yet to confirm it works with Isometric Park. (If you do try it, let me know!)

Watching Thin Matrix's [video devlogs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90CZ7Q17sls&list=PLRIWtICgwaX1gcSZ8qj8Q473tz7PsNmpR) for Equilinox inspired me to press on. :) Despite some similarities, the design of this game wasn't really inspired by Equilinox. (I've also enjoyed and Thoughtquake's [video devlogs](https://www.youtube.com/user/Thoughtquake/videos) for Cargo Defense and Cliff Harris's Democracy 4 [video devlogs](https://www.youtube.com/user/cliffski2/videos))

The original versions used art from the [Low Poly Forest Pack](https://devilsworkshop.itch.io/lowpoly-forest-pack) by [Devil's Work.Shop](https://devilsworkshop.itch.io/). (I had converted the models into isometric 2D images, using [this process.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bk0PXMgZgQg))
