• MapCity is now available in Early Access! - 15 September 2026

  MapCity is now available in Early Access on Steam! Thank you to everyone who has followed the game, added it to their wishlist, or shared feedback along the way!MapCity is a creative sandbox for designing cities directly on a map. It brings city building and map drawing together, whether you want to plan a small riverside town, develop a dense sprawling city, or connect distant areas across a wider region. The roads, buildings, and landscape are yours to shape and edit and build however you want.I created MapCity because I love maps and city-building games, and I always found myself feeling limited by the map sizes and maximum scale you can generally achieve. So I built MapCity with scale and limitless building as top priorities.What you can create in MapCity You can begin with a blank map and build its streets, buildings, land, and water. MapCity gives you tools for working on individu…

  MapCity is almost ready for Early Access! I'm aiming to launch within the next two weeks, with Tuesday, September 15 as the current target. I'll confirm the final date here once the remaining launch checks are complete. Still finalizing the NA DLC. I'm really excited to get the game in your hands and see what you create! I've always loved maps and city-building games, but I kept wanting to build beyond a single city. MapCity grew out of that idea: a map editor where you can draw cities, connect regions, and work at the scale of entire countries and continents. You can build your own maps or edit real-world regions, drawing roads, placing buildings, and developing neighborhoods. My focus has been on making those places readable and convincing at regional and continental scales. What to expect in Early Access MapCity is still in development. There are rough edges, and performance varies w…
