Project Highrise - Absolute Tower 

The Copy Room's placement pains me.

21:58 'I think I'd rather save money than make people happy' A true businessman.

"They'll probably be wanting electricity the fussy plebs" are you sure you're not working on student accommodation rather than offices Jon?

I liked this video but if the bottom floor sticking out bugged you how the hell did you deal with that copy room

This is a lovely little game, with a gorgeous mid-century art style that you mostly never see because you're zoomed waaay out. As an added bonus the version on Android is identical, and pretty well implemented UI wise.

Ohhh this is one “I’ve had my eye on for a while”... It’s an oldie but a goldie that’s been revamped from armour games onto Origin.

Ooooooooh Jon, how can you make me so happy? My girlfriend left me I've been incredibly sick and my friends don't like me and i get bullied but you STILL make me laugh! I just wanna say thank you from someone who can't take it anymore, there are reasons I stay around ^^

Surprised you only just found this, thought it's the kind of thing you'd like. I was watching one of your old videos (Defect I think) and you mentioned you like the board game Galaxy Trucker, just letting you know there's a video game version that came out recently if you don't know :D .

I forgot how much I loved Sim Tower when I was younger, and this takes me right back...yeah, might just pick this one up.

I'm having a Mandela effect moment for sure because I could've sworn you played this. I can't wait to see your crack at it!

"...where the coffee is just sort of magicked out of thin air" *immediately starts raining*

SimTower was the inspiration for this game. I've spent countless hours on both!

Reminds me of SIM tower. Needs more elevator schedules 😎

I've been playing this game for a while and can wholeheartedly recommend it. Though a bit tricky at first, it becomes a super chillax experience that is great for partnering with podcasts or just tuning out to its blissful music and lulling sound effects. And, since i'm entering shill territory anyway, the DLC is some of the fairest you'll find and have made me a fan of whatever those devs put out next.

"How are we going to get creatives in?" Easy, just make sure your building has plenty of access to exposure ;-p

This reminds me of Sim Tower. Fun old game, just revamped for the modern age. I like it!

"I'd rather save money then make people happy." How Corporate America of you, Jon.

You should fit a stairwell so people can leave if the lifts fail.

I managed to forget that this game existed but now thanks to SOMEONE! I have to go get it and all the DLC it apparently has XD

In this sky caper, Jon a-spires to high-rise until he can tower far above the competition.

I always wanted to get SimTower but dad sold off the PC and the promised replacement never materialised, so I'm definitely gonna pick this up. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, MATN!

The building not being symmetrical bug you but you keep wasting 1 space with the rooms. raaaaah *trigger OCD*

So someone looked at Sim Tower and said "This needs to be more complex."

Me: "Jon why are you leaving one space gaps, that's really annoying." Jon: "Heheh, you'll see, YOU'LL ALL SEE!"

Reminds me a lot of SimTower back in the day. Wonder if there'll be disasters like with that game?

12 minutes in and it's a four-storey building with three restaurants, half a dozen offices, no plumbing and zero toilets?

This would make an epic live stream.

And Jon just learned the word "plebs" this week. It also lets us know he believes he's better than his tennants.

Thank you Jon, i have now found my new way of introducing myself.. Hello, i'm Peter, the fussy pleb. :)

I've had this for over a year, only played the tutorial. Really need to play some of my games, man.

Fantastic! It should become a mini series! :D

Hunh, this heavily inspired by Simtower? That game was very chill, and very fun!

I hope there are no disasters in this game. If there's a fire the one elevator and no stairs could to be a problem.

the amount of space Jon wasted by putting offices one, or two lil blocks to the side, or the copy room, or the countless other examples has made me so violently ill I need to go to hospital thanks Jon

Please do more of this!

13:19. I always worry when Jon says everything is under control. We'll see if it's finally true this time around.

"Zoop" Shots Fiyerd.

Reminds me of Hotel City

Hi everyone hope you all have a nice day. =D

15:44 "It's gonna be great" Where did I hear this phrase before, is this gonna be another Trump Tower? :)

Glad there's no fire marshal, you'd have to have stairs all the way up as well as the elevator. Also, do you know that once you get over about 10 floors, engineering elevator scheduling becomes a really big thing to deal with?

Can we get a Pleb Counter?

"why was this one placed so weirdly" thats what i was saying earlier Jon! did you not hear me screaming? lmao

this building is quite a monstrosity

Hey Jon, if you loved this you should give Oxygen Not Included a try. It might make for a fantastic live stream.

If there isn't an office above this coffee shop its going to bother me. But, I'm very content with random useless single cell gaps on all the floors. X_x

absolute UNIT

People say it's like Sim Tower but honestly, I think it's... unnecessarily complicated. OK I'm just not a big fan of having to wire up everything individually. Sim City 2000 did that and it was annoying that every time you built a new area you needed to put up cables just so the electricity could cross a street and if any of those buildings vanished, you could lose entire blocks of power because wiring underground was such a foreign concept... Hell, I think I could tolerate the idea of "Build a utility closet and everything's wired up around it and you can upgrade to include other utilities and expand the radius/make it cover the whole floor" better than wiring every bloody tile..

Did somebody say...All-Nite Diner? Have I told ya? Have I told ya?

Honestly i enjoy sim tower more. Sim tower accurately simulates the transportation of your towers population. Your tower lived or died based on your elevator network. Also you couldn't just go and put things anywhere as that would upset your tenets as many rooms make terrible neighbors and placing food and amenities too far from a lobby meant no one would use them. Project highrise just feels a bit too easy as you generally don't need to worry about placement at all and transportation management is non existent. you can go ahead and place a foodcourt next to a medical office and have your copy service in the basement serve the office on the 60th floor.

I was looking for some letsplays of this game.

The power gets cut out when no one is at the office for upgrades People who are paying rent: HOW DARE YOU CUT THE POWER OUT EVEN THOUGH I'M AT HOME NOT USING YOUR POWER WHAT SO EVER! Many True Nerd: But your not even here?!?! People who are paying rent: THATS IT WE ARE LEAVING BECAUSAE YOU CUT THE POWER OUT WHEN WE WEREN'T THERE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT Logic right there

He should put a Paper company office on the second floor.

It bothers me more than it should that you never built trash bins

the disorder of room placement is triggering me so hard

So glad this is free as I now own it haha but if you like this you should look at Mega mall story on the switch. I lost so many days due to that game.

It's basically upside-down Fallout Shelter.

This feels like sim tower

This one gets a bit old quick as it's too simple (comparing to SimTower), it devolves into place A next to B next to C and repeat; give Mad Tower Tycoon a try it has some actual traffic management mechanics (which is what made SimTower great).

How to put bench on building?

Is it just me or does john seem to hate everyone asking for a service he does have, of which they expect as it says? And something else Jon just keeps calling people plebs, I think this is one of his most angry videos.

I just watched Graystillplays build a 1000 story building in this game. Said it took several minutes of scrolling to get from bottom to top

Why in hell, for the sake of all that is holy, is the copy room drunk!?

Nifty

I love Jons videos, but sometime he's so bad at a game it just makes it painful to watch (oxygen not included and when he first started with CKII). I'm dreading when he finally picks up EUIV.

The beginning reminded me of India

Looks like SimTower

This is the new sim tower right?.... Right

*UNNNNLLIMITED TOOOOOWWWWWAAAAAAHHHHHHH!*

when is the guy from police academy gonna make an appearance?

5:53 korea? Republic of Korea??

Sim Tower 2?

Didn't you play this once before, a couple years ago?

SIM Tower?

seiries

Is anyone else triggered because he only put 3 offices and not 4?

Should I get this game

8'x7' rooms....or thereabouts... yikes

This pun....

Just don't get it on Steam and learn there's mods for Project Highrise.

Steeam this a while ago on myt channel, the solution? Black Market busiess, you get money hand and fist and theres NO DOWNSIDES What so ever :P

Hey Jon thanks for your awesome commentary and creative and mostly inventive gameplay. It is truly inspiring. I build a little trojan horse for you with this comment. To ask if you can play phoenix wright. It is a game I think you will like. It is logical thinking while defending in court. Don't know if it is good for a video though.

this is literally just sim tower but not as complex?

Livestream, please 🙂🙏🙋

Please stop saying Plebs, you're not in the Tory Cabinet.

1 view :D

Please.. stop saying spot on. Its become a way to common thing in all your videos..
