Xomtopia is a city-building game inspired by Vietnam, free to play on the web. A friend and I started working on it 5 years ago, but since we were both busy, we are now able to continue thanks to AI assistance.

Playing games like Cities Skylines often features Western cities, so we wanted to create a game where you can build tube houses, small alleys, markets, pho restaurants, village communal houses, and areas with tiger cages. You will be the chairman of a ward, starting from a small riverside village and gradually building it up to a commune, town, city, and province.

Currently, the game has features such as:

• Build and manage: over 130 types of buildings, from rice fields, craft villages to factories, hospitals, and apartment buildings. Residents need rice, jobs, schools, health stations, and goods. There are ward resolutions, budgets, flood prevention, and winter protection for cattle.
• Pedestrians are real residents: everyone has their working hours, school schedules, and market trips. There are motorbikes carrying entire families, double raincoats, three-wheeled vehicles, agricultural trucks, and fire trucks responding to fires. Players can walk the streets or ride motorbikes to talk with the residents.
• The map is based on real places: Hoi An, Hue, Co Loa, Oc Eo, Phu Quoc, Ha Long Bay, Hoang Sa, Truong Sa, the terraced fields of Mu Cang Chai, and Ha Giang. The Northern mountainous region has frost, hail, and sometimes even snow in Ha Giang.
• A neighborhood chat group, monthly trends, weddings, Tet, and Mid-Autumn Festival.
• Some mini games like Net Souls (escape from the internet café when mom arrives), blind box unboxing, mixology, and XomLeague football competitions.

The game is suitable for those who have played SimCity, Cities Skylines and want to try a Vietnamese context, those who are away from home wanting to recreate their neighborhoods, or students interested in learning about regional landmarks. Those who are busy can still play in just a few free minutes as no installation is needed.
The game currently has a total of 2000 players and 100 regular players.

How to play: visit xomtopia.com using Chrome or Edge on a computer, or a browser on a mobile device. Choose a region or map, select a difficulty level, name your village, and you can start playing right away, with step-by-step guidance for first-time players. If you have a weak computer, adjust the graphics to Low. Log in with Google if you want to continue playing on another device, the town synchronizes automatically, and you can visit friends' cities and check the leaderboard.

Unlike other city-building games, everything in this game is based on real Vietnam, from structures, administrative levels to weather, with many details that we have researched thoroughly. The game is free, available in both Vietnamese and English.

The game is still under development, so we need your suggestions for features and game balancing. Thank you, everyone!
