I am aware of it... we have somewhat divergent goals. I seek more of a re-creation of "SC4-style" city simulator, without agents for all traffic and so on. I think the big difference between this game and Citybound is that I'm trying for more of a statistical / stochastic approach vs. an agent based approach. I think the agent-based approach was one of the factors that led to SimCity 2013 not being that fun.

Citybound is aiming more for the Cities: Skylines approach to traffic and simulation.

I'm a big city-builder fan and have tried almost every one I can get my hands on. Among myself and some others, there is the feeling that the SimCity series peaked at SimCity 4 and I'm hoping to recapture that feel. It seems that Citybound is going in a totally different direction, which is fine, but that's not the aim of this project.

I hope to play Citybound when it is released but I do not think this project is redundant.
