Sphere – Flying Cities, the stratosphere-sailing survival city-builder from publisher Assemble Entertainment and developer Hexagon Sphere Games welcomes today a brand new Early Access update titled, “Age and Education.” The new content introduces the aging of the floating city’s denizens, as well as a full-fledged education system, meaning higher education (literally) is within grasp for all.
The new life cycles add a realistic element to the sci-fi simulation, aging citizens through various stages of life, bringing with it all of the triumphs and troubles that come with the passage of time, including birth and death cycles. Similarly, inhabitants of the flying city interested in expanding the population must meet specific reproduction requirements in order to do so. Luckily for the new busy parents, a “Day Care Center” is now also available to construct.
In between those finicky stages of early and late-stage life cycles, denizens can now take part in education programs, allowing skill mastery and development of new skills through the new “Training Center”. Having educated citizens means higher efficiency, better buildings, and more.
The Age and Education update also introduces a reworked energy management system, as well as many new buildings including the training center, day-care center, and energy storage.
