The reason behind such a name choice lies not only in its stylistic features but also in the desire to make it nostalgic, merging past and future in a singular urban environment. In “Retropolis,” you will find a diverse array of building designs, parks, characters, and many more elements that will make your game world memorable.

Wireframe Map of City Building Game
Here we have a map wireframe design for a city-building game. It outlines the game’s layout, structure, and organization without the distraction of textures, colors, or detailed graphics.
Stylized SimCity Buildings
SimCity became famous for its epic buildings – those standout structures that are more than just part of the city’s skyline; they are focal points that bring the virtual cities to life. They often look like they could be part of a futuristic world or a whimsical storybook, which is why they capture players’ imaginations. These structures are characterized by their bright colors, playful designs, and sometimes exaggerated features, which are trademarks of the SimCity series.
The buildings in this image resemble SimCity’s epic isometric building because they share the same vibrant and imaginative qualities. They make the game world more than a grid of streets and houses; they turn it into a dynamic place that players can connect with and get excited about.
Isometric City Sprites
We researched many city-builder games and put together a collection of references. In total, we have created 43 unique isometric city sprites, carefully crafted for city-builder games. These resources are designed to give game developers a vast range of building styles to create diverse and lively urban landscapes.
All houses in your city are optimized as much as possible. Such optimization has an impact on the game’s performance in particular, increasing its speed capabilities. Moreover, all buildings have four levels of complexity and different styles: with each upgrade, the building becomes more detailed and luxurious, or retro if you want.
Key features of this asset set include a wide array of isometric building types, from commercial centers and residential blocks to cultural landmarks and industrial complexes.
The variety ensures that a game can include different city zones and neighborhoods, each with its own character. The quality of these sprites is evident in their colorful, detailed 3D models which bring depth and realism to the game environment.
Our portfolio includes not only these isometric city assets but a wide range of other game development resources. To see examples of our SuperCity buildings and get a closer look at the details that make our assets stand out, visit SuperCity buildings. There, you can find inspiration and resources to help you build the city of your dreams in your next game.

How Building 3D models add to the Game Environment?
3D models add a layer of depth and realism to the game. These models serve as the backbone of a game’s aesthetics, allowing players to explore and interact with a 3D space that feels alive and dynamic. When developers include building 3D models into a game, they create a sense of place and scale, making the environment not just a backdrop but a character in itself.
These models provide detailed structures that gamers can navigate around or enter. They add verticality and perspective, offering varied vantage points and possibilities for interaction, like viewing a cityscape from the top of a skyscraper or the street-level buzz in a market.
Including high-quality 3D models can turn a game into a rich, believable world. For those looking to know more about our game environment studio, exploring services that specialize in game environment design can be useful.
