Working on plaza-based zoning in Tenants of the Shade

Hey everyone — it’s been a few months since I last posted here, so I wanted to share a short look at the zoning system in Tenants of the Shade.

Towns grow outward from a central square/plaza, so expansion has to branch out from the center instead of being painted freely anywhere. That gives towns a stronger shape, but it also makes sprawl something the player has to think about.

I’m aiming for a system that feels structured and organic at the same time.

Still iterating on it, so I’d genuinely love any feedback on how it comes across at first glance. Thanks for watching.
