Progress update on #SC3K: we have UI! Or, a bit of it, anyway.

Progress update on the SimCity 3000 project: we've achieved some rendering!

1171

Taghan @conasg.com · 24/09/2026

It's not much, but it's #SC3K terrain, now visible during the automated test suite (used to verify that the decompiled code continues to match the original as it's slowly built up). Progress!!

Every cycle of the #SC3K decompiling does another chunk. Here, have a screenshot of what it looks like when it starts another piece. Then, it'll work for ~2 hours, depending on what blockers it finds and has to resolve. Gradually, we're eating through.

Yeah, SimCity 3000 sound is not straightforward at all

Taghan @conasg.com · 13/09/2026

Reverse engineering is hard (on my token allowance)

Taghan @conasg.com · 12/09/2026

Reset acknowledged and appreciated

001

Taghan @conasg.com · 05/09/2026

Daaaamn I love this, genuinely a fun experience!

000

Taghan @conasg.com · 05/09/2026

And now the map skirt

Taghan @conasg.com · 05/09/2026

I think that's all the visual bugs fixed... of course, rendering is half the battle, gameplay is a whole other challenge.

Taghan @conasg.com · 04/09/2026

Reverse engineering SimCity 3000 is going well so far; this is a render I've produced.

Why RE SimCity 2000 when I can RE SimCity 3000

A beautiful dragonfly had a rest in my garden, in the sun

Taghan @conasg.com · 25/08/2026

I for one love to gaze at the smoke drifting from the flares at the plant

020

Taghan @conasg.com · 25/08/2026

I experience a lot of this

Taghan @conasg.com · 24/08/2026

Just found a Devil's Coach Horse beetle in my garden! How marvellous!

Oho, you thought Wildberries was the end of it? Now Ozon is experiencing things

Plane in blue sky, posted on blue sky (taken in my garden just now)

Taghan @conasg.com · 07/08/2026

And now, the highways and bridges too!

You can now hover over an entire structure.

Working on adding a comically over-the-top debt system

Come on, OpenAI, do yet another random reset

Sorry Waitrose, I can't listen to Dish right now. I'm too busy listening to Dih

Hmm, I don't remember this in SimCity 2000.

040

Taghan @conasg.com · 27/07/2026

Some more progress. See the new news ticker, and by jove we actually have some icons!

042

Taghan @conasg.com · 26/07/2026

Turns out that isometric map generator control from SimCity 3000 is actually a pretty handy feature.

Taghan @conasg.com · 23/07/2026

And how about a tiny arctic map, perfect for a sleepy little mountain town

000

Taghan @conasg.com · 23/07/2026

Oh to be sailing on a mysteriously SimCity 3000 looking lake in a clone of SimCity 2000

051

Taghan @conasg.com · 22/07/2026

Build your city on huge 256x256 maps with beautiful, smooth terrain and water!

Taghan @conasg.com · 17/07/2026

And who needs blocky edges when you can have this?

281

Taghan @conasg.com · 17/07/2026

Who needs the weird brown terrain when you can have this?

182

Taghan @conasg.com · 15/07/2026

Turns out there is no icons for these things in SimCity 3000. They're all just literally in the UI, hard coded in. Diabolical.

140

Taghan @conasg.com · 14/07/2026

Turns out that UI design is *not* my passion or skill But nevertheless: I present to you, a sorta modern UI for SimCity 2000

Taghan @conasg.com · 12/07/2026

The custom UI project is underway, and we're already making headway!

Taghan @conasg.com · 12/07/2026

Like, what pray even is this

Taghan @conasg.com · 06/07/2026

I decided to improve SC2K

Taghan @conasg.com · 03/07/2026

My SimCity 2000 clone is now officially playable.

Taghan @conasg.com · 30/06/2026

Sounds about right

020

Taghan @conasg.com · 29/06/2026

Current status of my SimCity 2000 port: beginning to add little QoL improvements, like this (arguably) better Query tool.

Taghan @conasg.com · 29/06/2026

I just put together what I think is possibly the most accurate representation of how going on antidepressants feels, if they work correctly.
