EDIT2: I think I am choosing “Infrastruction”. Thank you @[email protected] and everyone.

Thank you for all the ideas! Shoutout to “pussy eaters republic”.

EDIT: added non-twitter poll link

Since my game is not (only) about villages, but building up an entire nation, I thought of changing the title to make it more appropriate.

“Nation Architect” and “Sovereign Architect” and “Sovereign Roads” are the other ideas.

Game concept: You play as a country leader, tasked with building up a country (either immortal president, or some form of AI). You will need to plan roads and factories, then launch bidding process to see your blueprints get built. You will manage “teams”, which are generated by towns at certain milestones, specialize them and buy them vehicles. Eventually, relations with other countries will come into play as well.

A single badly-planned highway bridge is enough to bankrupt you, like irl for weaker economies.

If you have other suggestions, I’d love to hear them as well.

    A bit of warning : I’ve seen indie developers mention that having a single common word for their game title was a mistake. It makes it hard to search for. A combination of words or a simple phrase is better in that regard.

    Searching only for “Architect game” right now already yields a bunch of things, like a Korean MMO, actual house architect simulators, and you know, the very popular Prison Architect.
