Key takeaways
Describe your city builder in plain language and Makermint builds the zoning, roads, and growth.
City builders made with Makermint are 2D, in the tradition of the genre's classic games.
Every finished game gets a share link, and you can publish it to the Makermint community.
City builders let you play urban planner, architect, and mayor all at once. You place residential zones, lay roads, build power plants, and watch citizens move in as your town grows. SimCity defined the genre decades ago, and it is a genuine systems-design puzzle: build houses without roads and nobody moves in, add industry without parks and happiness drops, zone too much commerce without enough residents and the storefronts sit empty.
A city builder you make with Makermint is a 2D, browser-based version of that same loop. Describe the setting, the zones, and what makes your citizens happy, and Makermint builds a playable version, with the building art and layout handled for you. Play it right away on a laptop or phone, no install required, then keep reshaping the city by asking for changes in plain language.
How it works
Describe your game
Tell Makermint what kind of city builder you want: a modern metropolis, a medieval town, a Martian colony. Plain language is enough.
Makermint builds it
Makermint turns your description into a playable game: building placement, road networks, zoning, and population growth. The visuals are handled for you, so you never have to design the skyline yourself.
Play and iterate
Play the first version right away, then ask for changes in plain language: add public transport, include a happiness meter, add occasional natural disasters. Each request gives you a new version to try immediately.
Publish and share
When your city feels right, publish it. You get a link to send to friends, and you can post it to the Makermint community, where anyone can play it and remix it into their own version.
